This study investigates the potential of gait features as human gait recognition. Firstly, skeleton joints of twenty subjects obtained from Kinect are extracted as features and further selected using the optimized locally linear embedded approach. Next, multi-layer perceptron and support vector machine are employed as classifiers. Result showed that the combination of the optimized locally linear...
This paper presents a non-invasive breath test to monitor the condition of diabetic patients. It is identified as an easier technique and quick diagnoses of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). DKA is a preventable acute complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Common diabetic test on patients are done on urinary test and blood ketone test to monitor for diabetes condition. However, those methods are considers...
Effective knowledge sharing plays a significant role in the proficient performance of any global software development organization. The lack of ability to share knowledge over time, in globally distributed software organizations, is perhaps the most prominent issue of this digital era. Traditionally, the main focus of the existing literature for knowledge sharing has been on individuals working from...
This paper presents a novel data-driven sigmoid-based PI for tracking of angular velocity of dc motor powered by a dc/dc buck converter. A global simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (GSPSA) is employed to find the optimum sigmoid-based PI parameters such that the angular velocity error is minimized. The merit of the proposed approach is that it can produce fast PI parameter tuning without...
Light emitting diodes (LEDs) has presented its outstanding performance compared to other present lighting sources such as fluorescent and incandescent. Thus, LEDs has become the favourable lighting source in this decade. However, the heat generated from the LEDs has limited its overall performances. This paper has demonstrated the use of simulation technique to access the thermal performance of the...
Presents the introductory welcome message from the conference proceedings. May include the conference officers' congratulations to all involved with the conference event and publication of the proceedings record.
Digital fringe projection method are emerging as evaluation tool of human forms in biomedical field due to its non-contact, non-invasive nature and provides whole field measurements. Nevertheless, its application for breast carcinoma detection is relatively minimal. Thus, in this work, a novel application of digital fringe projection for breast carcinoma detection is reported based on phase shift...
Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) technology is one of the most important technologies, which can be suitable replacement for conventional technologies at Nano-scale. The principle logic elements in the QCA technology are majority gates and inverters. In this paper, a novel design is proposed for 5-input majority gate in the QCA technology. The proposed 5-input majority gate uses half distance....
This study focuses on the development of algorithm to reconstruct surface of a human head using Beta-Spline technique. The development of algorithm started with the data point extraction from CT scan images to parallel computation. Parallel computation is used to handle with the large number of data points. Ars Cluster, which is a low-cost parallel laboratory in UiTM Shah Alam, is used in this computation...
In IT industry, global software development (GSD) is becoming popular since the past few decades. GSD is the process whereby companies are doing development of software at different locations. GSD is adopted by the IT companies to get the advantages of multi-site development, reduce development cost and access large group of skilled labor. Despite the leverage benefits of GSD, several challenges are...
In this paper, a completed modeling of Shearing Invariant Texture Descriptor (SITD) is proposed and half-rotation (180° rotation) invariant features are achieved for scanners texture images applications. The main deformations generated during the image acquisition process from physical paper using flatbed scanners are shearing and half-rotation. It's very common that a sheet of paper is slightly rotated...
A design of a Photovoltaic (PV) power system architecture with energy storage system for low voltage DC grid applications is presented in this paper. The system components include the following: PV panels with non-isolated dc-dc interleaved boost converters, batteries with non-isolated bidirectional buck converters. The PV converter is controlled using perturb & observe for maximum power point...
With escalating demands for higher throughput in data centers, on-chip optical-interconnects are attractive for parallel chip multiprocessors as they have higher bandwidth and lower power consumption than traditional copper electrical interconnects. This pave the way for silicon photonics in future mega data centers for connecting racks and servers. Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is currently...
Flying capacitor boost converter (FCBC) is one of the possible power converter for high power applications such as solar systems and electric vehicles system and so on. The aim of this paper is to establish relationship between the capacitance of the flying capacitor and output voltage ripple. 3-level FCBC prototype has been constructed for parameters design confirmation. Experimental result shows...
This paper presents the characteristic of human body electromagnetic radiation (EMR) frequencies for the stroke patients and non-stroke participants. 199 subjects undergoing post-stroke treatment and 100 non-stroke participants involved in this research. The human body EMR frequencies (in MHz) is captured using frequency detector at 23 points around their body, namely left side, right side and chakra...
A major effect of different measurement delay in seconds is revealed through quasi DC Stress Measure Stress experiments. We found that different delay of measurements in seconds contributed to different stress time needed to achieve target 10% degradation of Vth. The longer delay, the more time needed for the device to achieve 10% degradation of Vth. The effect on NBTI degradation is shown to be reliant...
