To solve these problems, many watermarking based schemes have been proposed, however most of them address to solve one of these two problems. This work shows a way to embed the watermark for both purposes: copyright protection and content authentication. The main scheme is based on a self-embedding algorithm which generates the watermark sequence from the original image using halftoning method. The halftone watermark image furthermore is watermarked modifying their pixels to embed logotype related to the owner’s copyright; and the watermarked halftone image is embedded for content authentication using Quantization Index Modulation (QIM) in the Integer Wavelet Transform (IWT) domain.","PeriodicalId":119218,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133147012","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}

Along with this, the public concern about how to make sure personal information remains private and safe has also grown, and it has become a high priority standard for mobile device producers to fulfill. Programming languages, by themselves, offer a limited safely, unfortunately. A common example is the use of credit cards, where the credit limit can never be exceed since the programming language cannot guarantee. The authors identify the need to structure the knowledge involved during the process of mobile devices safety development as a crucial step to guarantee trust between users and producers. The proposal project consists on creating a representative model between users and mobile device producers called Onto Device Trust. This model is based on ontologies where knowledge and information are structured on classes and concepts. The ontologies involved in this representative model are: Languages, Tools, Safeties, Industries, Smart Cards, Mobile Devices, Applications, Certificates, Evaluations, Clients, Analyzers and Testers. The evaluation of the ontology content in the Onto Device Trust model is carried out through a technical judgment of the ontology and its associated conceptualization.","PeriodicalId":119218,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference","volume":"26 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113976546","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}

Under sour corrosion, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique could serve to identify the modified micro alloyed steel corrosion properties. This paper present a predictive model for EIS-Ny quist curves using artificial neural networks (ANN) of micro alloyed steels under sour corrosion. For the ANN, an approach based on Levenberg–Marquardt learning algorithm, hyperbolic tangent sigmoid transfer function, and a linear transfer function was used. The model takes into account of the variations of the real impedance, time and steel exposure temperature. The developed model can be used for prediction at short simulation times illustrating the utility of the ANN. On the validation data set, the simulations and the theoretical data tests were in good agreement with R2 > 0.98 for all experimental databases. These results suggest that ANN may play a key role in making lifetime predictions for components based on laboratory measurements.","PeriodicalId":119218,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electronics, Robotics and Automotive Mechanics Conference","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121048051","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 presents the design and simulation of a predictive current control algorithm of an AC/DC/AC power converter in order to obtain constant voltage and frequency at variable wind speed, with the advantages of easy and time equidistant implementation on a DSP-based system. Moreover, the proposed system works by using a wind turbine directly connected to a permanent magnet synchronous generator In order to reduce mechanical loss and cost due to a gearbox.
