The same Bloom filter-based approach can be used in wireless sensor networks in order to reduce the traffic and increase the lifetime of batteries.","PeriodicalId":110627,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Automation, Quality and Testing, Robotics (AQTR)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121895396","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 controller parameters are adjusted in order to achieve a suitable step response through computer simulation, using the plant fractional - order model. Further, a fractional - order PID controller is tuned in order to improve the control signal, so as to fit within the range of unified current's variation, 0 to 16 mA.","PeriodicalId":110627,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Automation, Quality and Testing, Robotics (AQTR)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130076723","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}

Also, the model allows determining the flood waves changed due to the influence of the hydro-technical facilities from the analysed river basin. Determination of the components is made by the following composing scenarios: depth of runoff evenly distributed on the basin, depth of runoff unevenly distributed on the basin, concentrated depth of runoff upstream and downstream of the reservoir. The model was applied in the confluence section of the river Miletin with the river Jijia, considering reservoirs Câmpeni and Hălceni, both situated on the river Miletin. The results concerning the composition, routing and attenuation by reservoirs of the components corresponding to design floods having 1% probability of exceeding, in the four composing scenarios considered, are presented both numerically and graphically.","PeriodicalId":110627,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Automation, Quality and Testing, Robotics (AQTR)","volume":"294 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132510322","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}

This paper proposes a new method based on fuzzy analysis techniques for comparing images of muscle activity attained by employing high-density surface electromyography (sEMG). Along with other evaluation techniques, the proposed method could be useful to monitor the evolution of sportsmen's physical training. High-density sEMG maps were generated from sEMG signals acquired from the vastus medialis muscle of the right leg of healthy subjects. The fuzzy logic assessment method has two input variables: the muscle activation area and the mean intensity of muscle activity. Results are displayed on a graphical interface and the method was implemented as a modular, distributed application. The obtained results highlight important differences among sEMG images without pointing out the underlying physiological mechanisms. Future investigations regarding the applicability of the proposed method for long training cycles could provide crucial information about the changes in muscle activity that occur with physical exercise.","PeriodicalId":110627,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Automation, Quality and Testing, Robotics (AQTR)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133117240","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}
