Drowsy driving is the primary cause of motor vehicle accidents and is a risk factor that leads to the loss of human life, remaining as a challenge for the global automotive industry. Recently, drowsy monitoring system has been actively studied for prediction system based machine learning. However, the challenges of automotive real-time constraints and flexibility should be taken into consideration...
An FFE TX which automatically adapts impedance to arbitrary channel and RX impedances is proposed. Based on on-chip TDR monitoring, the TX impedance matching is adaptively relaxed without increasing reflection. In experiment, the proposed TX adapted to any combination of 35–75Ω channels and 30–200Ω RX impedances, achieving 3.8x eye improvement and the maximum data rate of 12Gb/s.
This paper summarizes the work performed by the authors on development of the sensor network for thermal parameters measurements, as well as structure health monitoring in modern buildings. The described work was carried out as a part of a workpackage within the EC FP7 project SESBE.
Earthquake Early Warning System (EEWS) has a great impact on reducing the harm effects resulting from earthquakes such as human death, nuclear leakage, contamination of water, and properties damage. In this paper, we proposed a new approach to detect the arrival time of the earthquakes which is the main module in the EEWS. The proposed algorithm based on Fuzzy Possibilistic C-Means (FPCM) clustering...
The paper presents a web-based platform able to offer access to one or more OPC UA Servers. The proposed platform may be used by web-users to exchange data with OPC UA Server without any knowledge of the standard. The software solution described in the paper is available on GitHub.
This work presents initial findings of a research project aimed at designing an assistance system able to improve driver ability and reduce accident risk. The proposed system is an innovative Advanced Driver Assistance System based on the integration of two main components: a training procedure based on precision teaching, and a control equipment monitoring driver behavior and providing feedbacks...
This paper presents a wakeup receiver for latency-critical IoT applications in 90nm CMOS, which is fully compliant to many popular IoT wireless standards with constant envelope modulations, such as Bluetooth Low Energy and IEEE802.15.4. Paired with a standard-compliant transmitter, the proposed wakeup receiver method minimizes the overhead in system power, area and complexity. The proposed 2-dimensional...
With the continuous application of information technology in the military field, the digitalization and automation research of weapon equipment support has been paid more and more attention. Based on the functional characteristics of satellite navigation and positioning system and military geographic information system (hereinafter referred to as “MGIS”), this paper presents a design method of combining...
This paper develops a methodology for the optimal monitor placement of voltage unbalance, based on a limited number of monitors. As voltage unbalance causes overheating problems in both power system equipments and user devices, it is expected that this long term problem can be fully observed and mitigated if necessary. In this paper, by analyzing the importance of every bus against the monitoring...
The applications of monitoring the equipment online are often limited by the practical signal processing, limited by storage and transferring capacities. The efficiency is a key problem. Thus, a novel highly efficient feature extraction model for evaluating the equipment performance is proposed, which consists of the probabilistic Principal components analysis and the second generation wavelet analysis...
The research reported in this paper is related to the depth-sensor technology when applied in care services for the elderly and disabled persons. It is focused on a system for non-intrusive fall detection, in which the trajectory of the mass center of a monitored person is estimated on the basis of depth-sensor data and differentiated numerically in order to estimate the velocity of that person. The...
Power quality related to DC microgrids is still on virgin grounds of research. However, it may play an important role both in the design stage and on the DC microgrid control scheme to be adopted. Currently there is no comprehensive, quantitative and qualitative analysis on which of the power quality features are the most stringent constraints to be taken into account. This work is an attempt of defining...
The information system audit developed in a data center it was based on the study of the domains of COBIT; for this reason the survey for each component it was developed with the goal of obtain the necessary information for audit. The analysis of this information, permited to establish the degree of compliance with international standards, and determine the maturity, risk levels of each of the components...
In this paper, the problem of queue in convenient stores is considered. We propose a low cost automatic queue length monitoring system by using an Internet-of-Things (IoT) platform. This system can detect the length of queue and the number of people that enqueue and leave the queue. If the length of queue is critical, the system will alert to staff via LINE Notify. Experimental results indicate that...
In this paper, we have studied the sources of error of a low-cost 3-axis MEMS accelerometer by means of Power Spectral Density and Allan Variance techniques. These techniques were applied to the signals acquired from ten identical devices to characterize the variability of the sensor produced by the same manufacturer. Our analysis showed as identically produced accelerometer have somehow variable...
The paper presents aspects related to the connection of renewable sources of energy to the grid and focuses on the Photo Voltaic Power Plant (PVPP). The correlation of this process with Power Quality (PQ) issues and conditions for certification of each plant in accordance with regulations are included in our work as well. Results of measurements of PQ in the Points of Common Coupling (PCC) in the...
A 32-channel ASIC has been designed and fabricated in a standard 0.35 μm CMOS technology for the read-out of Gas Electron Multiplier detectors to be used for beam monitoring in hadron therapy applications. Each analog channel is based on the classic CSA+shaper architecture, followed by a peak detector which works as an analog memory during the read-out phase. An analog multiplexer routes the outputs...
The increasing percentage in population of the elderly and of the chronically diseased requires new solutions for tele-medicine and the continuous real-time remote health status monitoring. The present paper presents a comparison study of various machine learning and deep learning techniques for cross-person prediction of both activities of daily living and falling down. The experiments are performed...
