This paper deals with the process of construction and calibration of 6DOF Stewart platform using LabVIEW software that can be used for various mechatronic applications. An intelligent control is required in order to coordinate the six legged parallel manipulators of the platform. The various process has been involved in the construction assembling and controlling the setup and the calibration of the...
This paper presents the methodology to manage transmission congestion by restructuring the system buses and placing the DG into the system. Here, an interconnected IEEE 14 bus system is reconfigured into 12 bus system and then DG has been placed for congestion management. The results obtained from restructuring of system with DG placement are compared to be more effective than the DG placement for...
The control of a non-linear process is a difficult task in process industries. Real processes often exhibit nonlinear behavior. Many process industries use conical tanks because its shape contributes to better drainage. Its non-linearity due to the constantly changing cross section makes the control of a conical tank a challenging problem. In order to improve the control effectiveness of some nonlinear...
In cellular communication, placement of evolved node base station (eNB) is an important issue. It determines the cost to construct, capacity, coverage ratio and quality of service (QoS). In 2G and 3G standards, eNBs have similar coverage range. The idea of heterogeneous network (HetNet) is launched in long term evolution-advanced (LTE-A), where the network contains different eNBs of different coverage...
This paper presents a power electronic compensator to extract the maximum power from a partially shaded PV module connected in a series PV string. The power electronic compensator comprises of a dedicated DC-DC converter with voltage mode control. The compensator compensates the deviation from the maximum power during mismatch conditions of PV modules. The compensator enables each PV module in the...
The increasing demand for clean energy and sustainable living have been promising for Photovoltaic (PV) systems. However, in urban environments, uniform solar insolation is not guaranteed. Thus, conventional Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques severely fail at Partially Shaded Conditions (PSC). In response, a new hybrid technique is being proposed using Adaptive Network-Fuzzy Inference...
Floating-point arithmetic plays major role in computer systems. Many of the digital signal processing applications use floating-point algorithms for execution of the floating-point computations and every operating system is answerable practically for floating-point special cases like underflow and overflow. The single precision floating point arithmetic operations are multiplication, division, addition...
A piezoelectric MEMS resonator was designed for 400 MHz frequency. The proposed resonator designed using perfectly matched layer to consider the anchor losses and calculating quality factor. This paper presents a type of MEMS resonator pair structure in the 400 MHz frequency range. Resonator was designed with piezoelectric material. The resonator pair was coupled by a matched layer for lower power...
While designing a compact Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV), it must be capable to travel through complex topography on traversing within confined spaces. In many applications, it is practically expedient that the robots adopted must be economical, hence multiple rovers shall be employed to execute a prescribed task. The cost of the rover can be economized by reducing the stature, sensors and in addition...
Due to the growing demand of skilled workers and the need of improving the quality of human resources, it is of utmost important that the current set of students are trained towards this global objective. Hence, it is empirical that these students acquire all the necessary skills including the basic knowledge that they need in order to make them competent workers. So, there is a need of a skill performance...
In the recent years, there is an increasing focus on studies concerning student's engagement in the tertiary education. Student's engagement in learning is important to guarantee a good academic result. Thus it is important to encourage engagement from students in the learning process as the more engaged the students is, the better the absorption of the knowledge a student will receive. Previous literatures...
The research was conducted to find factors that affect quality of SMEs' online marketing website. The research's result will be useful to give recommendation on online marketing that used by franchisor. This research used DeLone & McLean Model with questionnaire to 103 students who have had an experience in buying online. Respondents were chosen using Simple Random Sampling Method. Data were analysed...
The purpose of this study was to explore the college students as subjects in an experiment with the lotus blossom technique in teaching in terms of the students' potentiality of creative problem solving and performance of creative problem solving competency after creative works were accomplished. The creative problem solving competences were analyzed by means of Potentiality Questionnaire for Creative...
Consider the trigonometric leveling method is simple, flexible and less limited by terrain conditions, it commonly used to inconveniently implemented area. Through the total station rapid development, the horizontal distance measuring between station and target for the traditional triangulation has been substituted by a slope from the Electronic Distance Measurement(EDM) measured. When combined with...
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the cultural factors on the acquisition of second language from the subjects, selected from registered students in university of science and technology. The subjects in this study were selected from the registered students in English learning courses in university of science and technology. Sixty-nine (69) undergraduates were made up two in-tact...
Charge-sensitive preamplifiers (CSP) require high-valued feedback resistors as continuous-time reset devices: higher resistance values correspond to lower current noise and better spectroscopic performances. Designing integrated multi-channel CSP such resistors are generally left as external components or substituted with active transconductors. The former are bulky and not adequate for situations...
In this digital age, everyday activities are affected by the digital tools and practices, including education. Education systems around the world are responsible for the development of digital literacy capacities, competencies and comportments for youth. The best way is through the e-learning platform. In order to design e-Learning content that meet the needs of each individual, the e-Learning provider...
Phasor measurement units (PMUs) have revolutionized power systems monitoring and control. By providing higher resolution measurements which provides better situational awareness, those time-synchronized measurements have enabled the development of better controls and operations for power systems. This paper discusses the basics of PMUs and their applications, mainly state estimation. The paper also...
Scientific user facilities — particle accelerators, telescopes, colliders, supercomputers, light sources, sequencing facilities, and more — operated by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC) generate ever increasing volumes of data at unprecedented rates from experiments, observations, and simulations. At the same time there is a growing community of experimentalists that require...
This study proposes a new system for learners to master double-under skill. In terms of proposing methodology, it assumes four training phases. First and second phases deal with the primitive motion training but the latter two phases do their combination. This paper focuses mainly on the third one that treats combination of primitive dyad of the former phases without a rope instrument. The prototype...
