For severely paralyzed individuals, alternative computer interfaces are becoming increasingly essential for everyday life as social and vocational activities are facilitated by information technology and as the environment becomes more automatic and remotely controllable. Tongue computer interfaces have proven to be desirable by the users partly due to their high degree of aesthetic acceptability,...
There are fragments in the heart can attributed to innate or diseases that can be seen during the lifetime. As a common term “Arrhythmia” is the name of diseases that anomaly rhythmic work of the heart that result from the various disorders. Electrocardiography is frequently still using by clinics to detect these rhythm disorders. The system base on computers is utilized to minimize interference failures...
With the development of technology and industrialization, problems that haven't been solved in the past have become more easily solvable. The artificial intelligence (AI) field has emerged by starting to apply the working mechanism of the human brain in various ways in computers. With the use and widespread use of AI techniques, solutions to problems in every area of the scientific world are presented...
In this paper we report our efforts to streamline the curriculum of a lecture-based course on signals and systems with exercises using the Matlab computing environment. We use a computer framework to generate individualized variations of problems, which are assigned to teams of students as well as to individual students. Feedback from students revealed that the new components were helpful for better...
Photovoltaic power systems lose significant amount of energy due to partial shading which occurs when a part of a PV system is shaded while the rest is fully illuminated. These losses appear in the form of mismatch power losses. Minimizing these losses is fortunately possible through reconfiguring the connections of PV modules in a PV system, as reported recently in the literature. However, the available...
A multiagent system (MAS) is a computer based model of multiple interacting intelligent agents within an environment. One of the key aspects of such models is the ability to reproduce the results in different software and hardware. In general, the simulation of these models are carried out under floating point standards. It is well known that by limitation of computer arithmetic, the results may be...
In this work an image processing system was developed to identify malaria parasites in thin blood smears and to classify them into one of the four different species of malaria. Many techniques were implemented in the preprocessing stage to enhance the images. In the first part of the system morphological processing is applied to extract the Red Blood Cells (RBC) from blood images. The developed algorithm...
The paper presents developed User-Defined Functions, that are designed for identification of linear periodically-time-variable circuits and inverse transformation of signals by Fourier and Laplace. Such User-Defined Functions are addition to the system UDF MAOPCs, which is designed for modeling, multivariate analysis and optimization of linear periodically-time variable circuits in the frequency and...
Finding the maximum independent set (or stable set) of any graph is an important problem in graph theory that has many applications such as computer vision/pattern recognition, information/coding theory, molecular biology and scheduling. In this paper we propose a quadrating programming formulation for finding the maximum independent set of any graph from the maximal cliques of the graph. It is proved...
This paper presents a low cost eye based Human Computer Interface (HCI) developed for amputees and paralyzed persons. The system is a computer interface that provides the functionality of an input device like mouse based on eye actions such as eye blink, eye-gaze and gaze control. For initialization, the subject just holds his/her head still for a few seconds: using involuntary blinks that would naturally...
This paper describes the design and implementation of chess set using electronic circuits and MATLAB software for educational purpose. Nowadays, many children are addicted on the computer games, and tend to neglect the traditional games like chess game. The electronic chess set is designed in order to attract the interest of the children on the chess game. Besides that, the game provides some basic...
There is a high demand for underwater communication systems due to the increase in current human underwater activities. Bathymetric data is a depth value of reservoir or inland water bodied. Bathymetric data is useful for hydrographical survey, volume calculation and 3D graph generation using interpolation techniques. Depth sensor captures a depth data values from the water source and these values...
This paper describes the course that was developed at the authors' University to introduce all first-year engineering students to the fundamentals of computer programming within the context of solving engineering problems. This two credit-hour, semester-long course incorporates the programming language MATLAB and is a required course for students who major in civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering...
System Dynamics is a required coursed offered to junior Mechanical Engineering students at Pennsylvania State University Erie, the Behrend College. It addresses the intercoupling dynamics of a wide range of dynamic systems: mechanical, electrical, fluid, hydraulic, electromechanical, biomedical, etc. It is a challenging course due to the abstract nature and increased mathematics needed to understand...
This paper aims to scan a handwritten statement sample in the form of an image then uses the neural network to identify the graphological and statement analysis marker s that can give an insight into the psyche of the person who wrote the sample. It is a tried and tested fact that at least 70% of the communication that we engage in is nonverbal in nature. It is from this fact that the sciences of...
For Communication of Secret information from one place to another place for different application Cryptography and Steganography are the techniques used most commonly. Usually in cryptography the content of secret message is scrambled while in steganography the secret message is embedded into the cover medium. In this paper a high secured model has been developed by combining cryptographic and Steganographic...
This paper presents the development of an autonomous ball picking robot successfully completed as a one-semester mechatronics senior design project. It aimed to increase the capability of a 6-Axis industrial robot available at school. This project development was performed to demonstrate an autonomous capability of the robot to deal with a dynamic operational environment. The system developed features...
Nowadays the detection of cancer of the breast mass X-ray mammography is widely used by radiologists. This computer-aided system images used by physicians in the interpretation raises the accomplishments of physicians identified masses. Work on computer-aided detection systems consisting of basic image processing and classification section is still in progress. Different methods such as artificial...
Today, multiple choice tests due to their benefits have become one of the most common methods to evaluate student's learning. In order to correct their answer sheets by the machines, very expensive equipment is necessary. Despite high correction accuracy of this method, because of some limitations, it's not suitable for public use such as schools. To overcome these limitations, attempts have been...
The paper presents two new software functions of the system of software functions MAOPCs. The first software function is designed to determine the instantaneous power in the branch of linear periodically-time-variable circuit and the second software function is designed to determine the transfer coefficient of average power from input range to the output. The paper also presents computer experiments...
