The instability of the wireless network is a problem that affects the Quality of Service (QoS) parameters due to the mobility of the nodes. This article uses an unsupervised learning algorithm and a reinforcement learning algorithm, for the self-configuration of an ad hoc network based on QoS parameters, with a hierarchical network topology that allows its segmentation into clusters, reducing the routing tables. The results show that the use of artificial intelligence algorithms allows the network to remain stable and to improve the conditions around the network management strategy, modifying in realtime the waiting time of the active route and the hello-interval in the AODV protocol. The experiments with the two intelligent algorithms allow analyzing the QoS parameters in each node of the ad hoc wireless network, using the end-to-end delay data of each node, and a dataset of the traffic sent from the entire topology for searching the nodes that require auto-configuration.","PeriodicalId":102785,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Electrical, Computer, Communications and Mechatronics Engineering (ICECCME)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116800706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These algorithms are suitable for use in the Hurricane Minimizer [1] project. The general idea is to use the optimal choice, which is Cluster with computation [2] wherein a small amount of information sent to the Observer. In cluster head (leader) configuration, two algorithms employed: (1) a primary sensor node that receives data from the environment and distributes it to (2) the cluster head that aggregates and distribute the data in a network. The leader algorithm will send data to the observer. In WASNs, bandwidth and power consumption are scarce commodities, which represents the life span of the network.

N on-destructive testing methods are used for evaluating their condition both as a finished product and during their use. Damage that may occur in these types of composites includes air bubbles, nonuniform arrangement of fibres, regions of fibres not saturated with resin, delamination, and micro-cracks. Various methods of non-destructive testing are used to detect defects in such structures among the most effective of which are infrared thermography methods, the most common being optical heating with various types of lamps and the method of optical lock-in. Pulsed thermography is one of active IR techniques in which a surface of tested material is stimulated by a short heat pulse and the thermal response of the material is analysed. Flash thermography are used when the specimen is stimulated using a short energy pulse. The response contains information about subsurface material defects. After the heat pulse the temperature decrease rate is different on surface over defect in comparison to that over the sound material. In lock-in thermography, an amplitude modulated heat wave is applied to the inspected specimen in steady state. This paper seeks to compare the results obtained from pulsed and flash thermography with results from using optical lock-in thermography. The paper presents selected results of defect detection in a multilayer CFRP composite structure. The tests were carried out on a sample consisting of three plates made of CFRP connected with resin, in which the inner middle layer is made of four non-adherent elements.","PeriodicalId":102785,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Electrical, Computer, Communications and Mechatronics Engineering (ICECCME)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124834339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper the Taormina localization scheme is presented which uses information collected by a LoRa network. More specifically the objective of Taormina is to accurately identify the location of a vehicle, equipped with a LoRa node, travelling along a known path which is divided into segments of length equal to or shorter than the desired accuracy. Values of the RSSI measured by the LoRa gateways are collected and used to characterize each of the above segments. The node that wants to be located periodically transmits LoRa messages. The LoRa gateways evaluate the corresponding RSSIs and use such values to identify the segment where the vehicle is currently located. Therefore, in Taormina localization is addressed as a classification problem. Early results demonstrate that Taormina can deliver the target localization accuracy with high probability.","PeriodicalId":102785,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Electrical, Computer, Communications and Mechatronics Engineering (ICECCME)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125022356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transfer of large data volumes is subject to latency and variable transfer rates. Edge computing is an emerging trend that aims at processing data nearer to its source thereby reducing data transfer and the need for continuous connectivity. The main contribution of this paper is to investigate the power requirements of a battery-powered Raspberry Pi which acts as an Edge node. The latter monitors essential environmental parameters such as air temperature, air humidity, soil moisture and light intensity. The sensors are connected to an Arduino interfaced with the Raspberry Pi. A software-based power model relative to CPU utilization is proposed to measure the power consumption of the Raspberry Pi. A Java program is used to capture and save the sensor values in a database for further analysis. Experiments demonstrate that the power usage increases linearly with CPU utilization. The proposed power model has a root mean squared error of 0.023 and 0.036 respectively when one and two Arduinos are connected. The power requirement of a single Raspberry Pi with four Arduinos is estimated to be 2.58 Watt when the Java process is running. It is also projected that a 6,500 mAh battery can power this type of environmental setup that monitors plant growth for 12 hours.","PeriodicalId":102785,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Electrical, Computer, Communications and Mechatronics Engineering (ICECCME)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126850891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The visible development in the Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has made INDUSTRY 4.0 significantly affect the manufacturing industry in all aspects, including logistics to quality control. Manufacturing industries will no longer take quality management tests in a separate metrology segment but instead on the manufacturing line in real-time. Quality control systems have progressed technologically in recent years, especially through laser or optical measurements. However, these systems still suffer from some incompatibilities with production systems 4.0, especially in terms of interoperability and information exchange, which are the guiding design principles for industrialization 4.0 initiatives. Quality control is an important phase of the manufacturing process, and fully integrating it into a production line is a significant challenge for intelligent and autonomous execution. In this paper, a use case regarding quality control and assurance in the production platform 4.0 is described to present how a QC system could be integrated into a manufacturing system and compatible with the industry 4.0 principles. The quality control process is performed by implementing a 3D scanner, the Faro 3D imager Cobalt, and software named PolyWorks-InspectorTM installed on a host computer to which the scanner is also connected. Therefore, this paper presents an application of the concept of quality 4.0 in advanced manufacturing systems.","PeriodicalId":102785,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Electrical, Computer, Communications and Mechatronics Engineering (ICECCME)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115525545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to Full-wave analysis which is undertaken using HFSS and CST, gain and bandwidth of proposed antenna is elevated slightly in comparison with waveguide antenna. Furthermore, by altering waveguide structure to a printed circuit one, this design can be easily fabricated with low-cost mass production which leads to a light-weight structure as well. Considering the annulus property of this design and conformability to planar surfaces, it can easily overcome annular structure restraints.","PeriodicalId":102785,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Electrical, Computer, Communications and Mechatronics Engineering (ICECCME)","volume":"33 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116826197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
