In this paper, a Neural Network Deployment (NND) algorithm is presented to realize and synthesize Multi-Valued Logic (MVL) functions. The algorithm is combined with back-propagation learning capability and MVL operators. The operators are used to synthesize the functions. Consequently the synthesized expressions are applied by the MVL neural operators. The advantages of NND-MVL algorithm are demonstrated...
One of the conditions for accurate planar pose estimation is that feature points must be both coplanar and noncollinear. Many research on markerless hand tracking and pose estimation as a planar target have been done, however the selection of hand feature points as coplanar but noncollinear points has not been investigated. This paper proposes a novel selection of hand feature points for pose estimation...
Human tracking research has been reinforced with the introduction of vision-based motion tracking sensors such as Microsoft Kinect and Intel RealSense since 2009. No longer limited to just wearable sensors, embedded environments and 2D camera feed, stereoscopic digital cameras and Infrared imaging has enabled perceivable depth and distance to contribute to geo-location, activity tracking, and automated...
Cooling of electronic devices is problematic by its nature simply because of the space restriction. Recent advances in high powered miniaturized electronic systems have come at the expanse of very high heat fluxes that pose challenges to thermal management research. Uncontrolled excessive heat may cause thermal fatigue and stresses and the current micro electro-mechanical cooling systems (MEMS) which...
This paper investigates the respiratory rate (RR) for different physiological conditions by implicating photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal. In this paper, we have examined four physiological conditions for instance sitting, standing, laying and jogging. Ten healthy volunteers were recruited and segregated by five males and females each group. The acquisition of PPG signal was done by Easy Pulse analyzer...
Pulse Transit Time (PTT) is a marker of arterial stiffness and may allow continuous, non-invasive, and cuff-less monitoring of blood pressure. In this work, robust PTT estimation is sought by application of system identification to arterial and toe photoplethysmogram (PPG) waveforms. To demonstrate the feasibility of the concept, an auto-regressive with exogenous input (ARX) model was selected. The...
In designing a variable recursive digital filter (variable-recursive-filter), one of the most important problems to be solved is to guarantee the stability of the designed variable recursive digital filter. This paper simplifies the existing parameter-transformation presented in the literature, which is used for transforming the denominator-coefficients of the transfer function of a variable-recursive-filter...
In this paper, the cubature quadrature Kalman filter (CQKF) has been applied to solve a maneuvering target tracking problem. The CQKF, which has been developed in house, uses third order spherical cubature and higher order Gauss quadrature rule to solve the intractable integrals encountered in Bayesian framework of filtering. The CQKF is the generalized form of well established cubature Kalman filter...

In this paper the design and realisation of an integrated online water quality monitoring system will be described. The system has been applied specifically to monitor the DO (Dissolved Oxygen) and pH parameters in several shrimp aquaculture centersin Indonesia. The aim was to reduce energy consumption and to create optimumwater condition for the shrimp aquaculture.Using an automatic aeration system,...
High sensitivity environmental sensors with a simple and compact structure are required to monitor unwanted pollution such as liquid waste. In this paper an environmental sensor liquid waste using a polymer multi-coupled ring resonator (MCRR) structure is proposed. The proposed structure consists of polymeric materials on silicon substrate. Also discussed the influence of different refractive index...
The shift from micro-electrode array based neural recording system to an open-gate FET based system, in which direct electrical interaction with a neuron in a nanostructure circuit offers significant advantages. However, the equivalent capacitance (Ceq) of the FET sensor undergoes a slow, monotonic change due to hydration of the insulator layers leading to a threshold voltage drift which ultimately...
Rose are hardy, colorful, repeat flowering and vigorous and became Malaysia's and world most popular garden plants. There are now more than a thousand varieties of roses in the world. Recent years, there are a lot of approaches had been done to propagate rose through in vitro technique. Advances in in vitro culture methods, has expand to lighting requirements which focusing on Light Emitting Diodes...
Computer vision inspection system using image processing algorithms are commonly used by many manufacturing companies as a method of quality control. Since manufacturing industries comprise of different products, various image processing algorithms are developed to suit different type of products. In conventional vision inspection system, manual configuration of the inspection algorithms is required...
This paper numerically presents a highly sensitive surface plasmon resonance (SPR) graphene-based biosensor by taking high adsorption efficiency of graphene into consideration. The pi-stacking interaction between carbon-based hexagonal structure of graphene with carbon-based ring biomolecules such as single-stranded DNA is the key factor behind this efficiency. Graphene layers added to a conventional...
Gas Turbine (GT) is a vital component to a power plant. This system contains many signals that are used to control and protect the GT from damage or accidents caused by vibration, speed, and temperature. Moreover, the vibrations of GT at dangerous levels might lead to damages to the system. In this paper, a concerted effort is made to identify the number of the bearing and vibration levels during...
This paper presents two different optical fiber based sensors system for measurement of oil level of a power transformer. One uses a continuously uncladed multimode optical fiber with uncladded portion equals to the measurement range. The other one uses multimode optical fiber with discretized uncladed portions that equals the measurement range. Differential measurement technique has been adopted...
