As part of ongoing research for flood modeling, this paper proposes Z-score in identifying the significant rainfall stations in Kelantan River for Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) model development. In this work, time series data of river water level was collected with hourly time interval in year 2015. Seven rainfall stations in Kelantan River were used and applied to Z-Score. They are Gunung Gagau 1,...
This paper presents the findings of Visions System performance for the detection of White root disease infection based on capacitance properties. A number of 100 latex samples representing healthy and white root infected rubber tree is tested for its capacitance value using Prototype Console Unit (PCU) developed. An optimized model for ANN using Levenberg Marquardt was designed. It is found that the...
In this paper, a fuzzy inference system has been developed for automatic tea making process. The system takes five inputs and gives two output which determines the grade of black tea and milk tea. Specifically, the proposed system considers five important characteristics of hot tea beverage such as water temperature, sugar, milk, brewing time and tea leaves quantity for grading the standard of the...
The exercise and rehabilitation based on computer vision system have many benefits and it has attracted the interest of researchers in the computer vision community. The researchers have kept on improving the existing methods by creating novel method or developing new algorithms in image processing and artificial intelligence. This paper presents the experiment and analysis of wrist radial and ulnar...
Fault Detection and Identification (FDI) monitor, identify, and pinpoint the type and location of system fault in a complex multiple input multiple output (MIMO) non-linear system. A Quadrotor robot is used to represent a complex system in this study. The aim of the research is to construct and design a Fault Detection and Isolation algorithm. This dynamic model is based on the first principles of...
This paper deals with an analysis of intermittent observations for mobile robot localization with Fuzzy Logic approach. Mobile robot can easily lost its sight during environment observations due to several factors such as sensor faulty, and dynamic conditions. This can lead to erroneous estimation and the mobile robot become uncertain about its position. As a solution to this issue, this paper proposed...
Electro Pneumatic Trainer for educational applications is developed as supporting tools towards the existing typical teaching and learning process. The main objective is to improve the learning outcome towards student's cognitive knowledge and practical skill where the existing teaching and learning for electro pneumatic courses conducted in the classroom without emphasizing on simulation and complex...
Subjective evaluation of the abnormalities in dental images faces a few challenges such as low contrast. The problem arises due to the fix regulation of small X-ray dosage. Thus there are applications of image enhancement on the dental images and it is an acceptable technique to improve image quality and better diagnosis. Low contrast images could hinder the subjective evaluation and contribute to...
The Quran is a script consisting of 114 Surah. The Quran is known to have positive effects on human, aids the stress healing process. Each Surah is provided for a different understanding and meaning of its own. This paper investigates the subject's reaction towards listening to two different Surahs. The electroencephalogram (EEG) machine was used to observe and record the subject brain activity. By...
Lately, the idea of indoor vertical farming has caught a wide attention throughout the world either for domestic or commercial purposes. This is one of the ideal decisions in modern agriculture technique when the land area for the plantation activities has become the major concern especially in the urban area. However, certain factors must be considered to mimic the actual condition of the outdoor...
A flood is an extremely dangerous disaster that can wipe away an entire city, coastline, and rural area. The flood can cause wide destrotion to property and life that has the supreme corrosive force and can be highly damaging. In order to decrease the damages caused by the flood, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model has been established to predict flood in Sungai Isap, Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia...
In nature, the DC-DC converter deals with high switching phenomenon that contributes to the higher conduction losses. Its operation conventionally associated with PI/PID controller in order to meet the desired output. To increase the DC-DC converter performance, an advanced controller has been proposed. However, it is deals with complex algorithm that made the controller cost higher. In this paper,...
This paper focuses on the design and development of a low cost nephelometric turbidity sensor for the continuity of domestic monitoring of water quality. The electronic turbidity sensor operates based on the scattered light intensity with regards to light scattering in solids and liquids. The electronic turbidity sensor used Light Emitting Diode (LED) as light transmitter, Light Dependent Resistor...
This paper presents an integration of a low cost microcontroller with a power converter for controlling the output voltage. Here, it will benefit the UTHM final year student in order to apply what have been taught during Power Electronics subject in Year 3. The power converter that has been developed is the zero voltage switching (ZVS) with inverter voltage control mechanism. As for the microcontroller...
Over the past decade, pneumatic muscle actuator (PMA) has been in the limelight and receiving much attention not only in the field of industrial application as well as in prominent research areas such as robotics and biomedical engineering. The uprising can be accorded to the many advantages that PMA offers such as inherent compliant safety, low maintenance and powerful. However, PMA has yet to emerge...
People are very vulnerable in case of natural disasters. Power grid destruction is a common disaster in these situations. Numerous costumers might easily lose access to electric power and this condition can continue for a long time after the catastrophe. Emergency shelter after occurrence of disasters is usually offered by organizations or governmental emergency administration departments, as a comeback...
Over the last three decades, electrical and electronic industry is the leading industry in Malaysia in terms of export income and employment opportunities. However, to keep up with its international competition, Malaysia requires introducing novel improved products in this field. In this respects, using the natural resources available in the country is a fascinating option for developing electrical...
