The proponents introduced the development of a power surge monitoring and suppression system with the use of NI LabVIEW. It is designed to capture waveforms and data of an occurring power surge from electrical wirings. The system is intended for household use to protect household appliances. Upon creation of the system, errors and difficulty have brought about problems. The problem acquired is the...
Telemetry is the process for sensing and measuring of information at some remote location and then transmitting that information to desire location. It is very useful for medical monitoring too. The electrical activity of heart is measured in the form of electrocardiogram (ECG). The monitoring of fetus ECG(FECG) is important to monitor the baby inside mom abdomen. The observation during labour and...
This study introduces the use of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) as a cement replacement in testing the compressive strength of hydraulic cement mortar cubes. The sample cement and sand were acquired from a local hardware store and the RHA from rice mills of Bocaue, Bulacan. The sample mortars were molded from 2-in. cubes using a cement-sand ratio of 1∶2.75 (1 part cement, 2.75 parts sand by weight). The samples...
Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) is one of the busiest national road in the Philippines millions vehicle are passing thru it every day especially in rush hour. Implementing Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) along this high way will provide a big help to every Filipino. This paper applied Artificial Intelligent (AI) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to find the corresponding bus schedule...
Wireless Gigabit (WiGig) presents advantages against IEEE 802.11ac's WiFi in 2.4 and 5 GHz such as faster data rates, intermittent connection, and power efficient transmissions in 60GHz band. However, WiGig antennas have a common disadvantage which is complexity with their designs that provides lesser availability of WiGig connection. The study aims to develop an improved gain and beamwidth with less...
Image edge information is essentially one of the most significant information in an image, which can describe the target outline, its relative position within the target area, and other important information. Edge detection is one of the most important process in image processing, and the detection results directly affects the image analysis. Traditional edge detection algorithms are accomplished...
A system that makes one send/receive SMS and be notified of calls using a computer via a bluetooth connection to one or more android mobile devices is presented in this paper. The system is called iSMS which is a client-server system with an android app as the client and a java swing app as the server. The server app uses the ABTSMSLib (Android BlueTooth SMS Library), a work in progress which currently...
The crop used for this research is sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas). There are two identical set-ups containing sweet potatoes being planted and monitored. One of the set-up is in a controlled environment and the other one is exposed to the natural environment. The controlled environment is enclosed in a miniature greenhouse in which its temperature, relative humidity and soil moisture is being controlled...
In this study, a learning module on sound analysis consisting of eight laboratory exercises were introduced. It discusses the concept of Fourier techniques to analyze signals in the frequency domain using LabVIEW's graphical programming language. The learning module also presents the process of acquisition and generation of an acoustic signal. As an application to the learnings from the previous exercises,...
The lack of sustainable public transport, heavy traffic, and floods are some of the major problems that the Philippines are experiencing throughout the years. Fossil fuel is a limited source of energy and it contributes to the destruction of the ecosystem, which is why more sustainable alternatives are needed. In addition, heavy traffic makes it difficult for people to travel around the metro that...
With the technology today, detection of pedestrian was introduced to decrease the accidents in the roads. It was implemented on the traffic lights and cars. In this paper, integration of face detection and pedestrian takes place on the device called Raspberry Pi. OpenCV was used for the detections and programmed in Python. The webcam was used to capture images in real-time. The images was processed...
In this paper a quantitative model was used to optimize the power output of a hinged blade cross axis turbine using different blade configuration. With the following parameters; number of blades, length of blades, thickness of blade, angle of blade, and foil shape. The data was collected on actual experiments using the newly design and built (RS/HTTP) River-flow simulator/ Hydrokinetic Turbine Testing...
This paper introduces a simulated model of broadband intrabuilding power line noise. We obtained a periodic burst error caused by cyclostationary noise inherent in a typical intrabuilding powerline channel. The simulated model is used to locate erroneous video packets and its periodicity of occurrence. The PSNR quality of decoded video sequence subjected to the noise model is compared with the lossless...
This paper presents the artificial neural network model for the transportation system in Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue. Intelligent transportation aims to optimize the transportation system in Metro Manila. It will enhance productivity among public commuter and bus companies. The goal of this model is create an effective bus scheduling and dispatch system. This scheme will result in shorter waiting...
Analysis of emotion in speech is manifested by the analysis of the vocal behavior of the nonverbal aspect of the speech. The basic assumption is that there is a set of objectively measurable voice parameters called prosodic aspects of speech, which can be assessed through computerized acoustical analysis. In this paper, we report results on recognizing emotional states (happy, sad, angry) from a corpus...
With the increase in energy consumption, the concept of harvesting energy in the surroundings awaken a renewed interest. Scarcity of resources has been a great matter to all and researchers have been innovating new methods in harvesting energy. A power management system (PMS) is needed to manage and maximize the output energy coming from the piezoelectric and solar photovoltaic harvesters. However,...
Mobile devices, with the improving trend of smartphone use, is an area of study for human behavior on wireless data communications systems which serves as the converging focal point. The prediction of user quantities with non-intrusive data gathering in wireless communications trends and the correlation of Wi-Fi characteristics with quantity are important links towards data aggregation technique developments...
