This paper demonstrates the usage of Kvazaar open-source HEVC intra encoder in 4K real-time video encoding. In this setup, a raw 4K video is shot by an action camera, captured by an HDMI capture card, encoded in real-time by Kvazaar ultrafast preset on a 22-core Intel Xeon processor, sent to a laptop, and decoded by OpenHEVC decoder for playback. The encoding process is visualized on the fly by Kvazaar...
A multi-channel real-time sound pressure spectrum analyzer was demonstrated for investigating abnormal noises of tapered roller bearings (TRBs). The sound sensing system was developed to replace the existing quality-control method conducted by human ears. All data collected by proto-type were performed by using data processing module. The background was identified at a low frequency band. Peaks at...
We introduce a novel algorithm for mining temporal intervals from real-time system traces with linear complexity using passive, black-box learning. Our interest is in mining nfer specifications from spacecraft telemetry to improve human and machine comprehension. Nfer is a recently proposed formalism for inferring event stream abstractions with a rule notation based on Allen Logic. The problem of...
This paper addresses contract and fiscal limitations in the acquisition process often seen as a constraint on real-time cyber capability development. First, the paper advocates for increased use of Operations and Maintenance (O&M) funds for low-cost cyber capability development. Using the Air Force's Real Time Operations and Innovation model, the paper suggests a near-term solution for other services...
This paper focuses on the systematic design and development of an optimized embedded system platform from ground up to handle special real-time requirements of control applications. An embedded system is usually embedded as a part of a complete device including hardware and mechanical parts, and both the hardware system and the software system are tailored and optimized to realize specific functions...
Software-defined networking (SDN) is a key emerging technology that enables networks to be programmed and dynamically reconfigured through software-based network applications. This programability also significantly increases the exposure of these networks to software application faults, which can compromise or crash the underlying SDN network. It is thus imperative to detect subtle faulty or malicious...
There are many function modules in the numerical control (NC) system, the system needs to communicate with each other through the data interaction among modules, to coordinate the work between modules and complete the control task. In this paper, the main function module structure of NC system is constructed based on RCS method. The communication between the NC system modules is realized by using...
Optoelectronic pulsars' (OEP) processor is developed for registration of radio emission from pulsars — cosmic sources. OEP processor includes an acousto-optic spectrum analyzer and a digital signal processor. The structure, operation principle and hardware implementation of the processor are presented. Software that works in real time is reviewed. The results of pulsars radio emission registration...
Program comprehension is a common task in software development. Programmers perform program comprehension at different stages of the software development life cycle. Detecting when a programmer experiences problems or confusion can be difficult. Self-reported data may be useful, but not reliable. More importantly, it is hard to use the self-reported feedback in real time. In this study, we use an...
Real-time lossless compression can reduce the burden of big data transmission and storage. Hardware compression is faster and more energy saving when compared with software. This paper proposes a novel LZO hardware architecture and various acceleration methods, integrates the compressor module and other IP modules. Finally, test and demonstration are provided on the DE2 development board. The results...
This paper presents the use of a new concept: Internet of Things (IoT), applied to the fermentation process of Cocoa at the Piura's mountain range. A prototype was designed and built with sensors that record the variables of temperature, oxygen and carbon dioxide during the process and send this information to the Internet. Finally a system has been developed that receives this information, visualizes...
Fraud prevention in the banking sphere is a very important type of activity which can cover a whole range of fraud schemes — both from employees and customers. The article studies the existing technologies for realization of the system of security control over functioning of POS networks in real time and analyzes them in detail. Besides, the concept of the system of monitoring and analysis of threats...
Several web-based signal processing simulation packages for education have been developed in a Java environment. Although this environment has provided convenience and accessibility using standard browser technology, it has recently become vulnerable to cyber-attacks and is no longer compatible with secure browsers. In this paper, we describe our efforts to transform our award-winning J-DSP online...
Internet of Things (IoT) proved to have the potential to transform the industrial and consumer's environment. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, as a primary stage of IoT, has been successfully integrated in the continuous deployment tracking-aiming solutions included into pervasive networks. Three software applications dealing with RFID-based applications for real-time localization...
The paper presents recent technological advancements that have been made by Siemens PLM in its simulation tools for multi-body analyses and multi-physics simulation in order to run physics-based high fidelity models in real-time. The motivation is enable reuse of simulation models developed during the engineering phase during the validation phase with hardware or humans in the loop. To demonstrate...
Software specifications are useful for software validation, model checking, runtime verification, debugging, monitoring, etc. In context of safety-critical real-time systems, temporal properties play an important role. However, temporal properties are rarely present due to the complexity and evolutionary nature of software systems. We propose Timed Regular Expression Mining (TREM) a hosted tool for...
This paper refers to the following directions: (a) the architecture and the communications issues related to the ‘smart grid’, and (b) the relations between the utilities and the end-users within the ‘smart grid’ in the framework of the accelerated implementation of the smart metering in Romania. Regarding the issue (a), we found that the implementation of the real-time smart metering at the home-area...
Accurate and real-time water quality assessment is an important way to ensure healthy aquaculture and protect the water environment. Due to the diversity, nonlinear and uneven distribution of aquaculture water quality parameters, it's very difficulty to assess the water quality. In this paper, the accurate water quality parameters are obtained by an adaptive weighted fusion method, then the water...
Pervasive computing allows users to benefit from information and services provided by advanced applications using smart and interconnected devices. Given the inherent complexity of this software environment, platforms become a typical means of easing the development and execution of pervasive applications. These platforms are usually in charge of managing the application context, ensuring that data...
The stability of interconnected large power systems — like the Brazilian National Grid (SIN) — is directly compromised by weakly or not damped low frequency oscillations and transitory oscillations, these latter originated from large contingencies. In order to identify and control the system oscillation modes efficiently, the dynamic behavior of various wide areas, it becomes necessary synchrophasor...
