To benefit from these advantages we need to ensure proper heat management. In this paper forward voltage variation is studied as a function of ambient temperature variation at the same supply current. The aim of the study is to estimate the junction temperature as a function of ambient temperature and forward voltage. Two types of LEDs are analyzed (18W COB (chip on board) type and 1W) at different operating temperatures. The concept is not new but the temperature range for which measurements were performed includes temperatures lower than 25 ° C and even temperatures below zero; also one of the LEDs is COB. The results are presented and analyzed.","PeriodicalId":122809,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Electronics, Computers and Artificial Intelligence (ECAI)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115785936","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 the situations where the electrical terminals are not accessible, being placed right under the LED package, the thermocouple could be placed on the mounting PCB used heatsink, as close as possible to the thermal pad of the LED, but this may introduce errors, making the temperature estimation not accurate. The junction operating temperature can also be estimated by measuring the forward voltage of the LED, knowing the temperature coefficient of the forward voltage.

The accuracy and reliability of the proposed circuit are ensured by employing operational amplifier that can detect μV-level voltage variations at the differential inputs. Moreover, the proposed system is checked against to the previously one reported by authors in terms of overall cost, superiorities and drawbacks.

We tried different types of LBP methods in predicting face beauty, and finally choose the method of dividing the image into 4∗4 sub-regions, and then get LBP features from those sub-regions and the whole image, respectively. Second, we operate Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier, Random Forest, neural network and Linear Regression to do the beauty assessment task, and make a comparison of the performance of these methods. Additionally, we establish a large-scale Asian face database labeled with beauty score under unconstrained conditions.","PeriodicalId":122809,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Electronics, Computers and Artificial Intelligence (ECAI)","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114637524","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 phenomenon is relatively recent and “information is not sufficient for a complete doctrine.” [1]. According to a study of the Romanian Academy since 2007, migration is selective, because especially young people and a segment of valuable, competitive and well trained labour are migrating, thus reducing the number of active people remaining to work in Romania [2]. Migration occurred especially in monoindustrial areas, where a lot of layoffs have been performed and, once arrived abroad, many started doing works beneath their skill level, as it also mentioned in the study. However, amid the economic crisis, many immigrants were forced to return to their countries of origin. “Tens of thousands of Romanians have already lost their jobs in Spain and Italy and concerns regarding problems related to massive returns are becoming increasingly critical.” [3]. Integration of remigrant students is influenced by school, family, community, environment, but, time factor is crucial. Age and time spent abroad by the student are of a particular importance in the students' ability to adapt/readapt to a new education system. This study highlights the situation of the remigrant pupils in terms of their adapting to the Romanian education system.","PeriodicalId":122809,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Electronics, Computers and Artificial Intelligence (ECAI)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125585493","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 addition is proposed a dedicate circuit architecture for transmission of digitally encoded signals from sensors to remote measurement systems using a very reliable communication media that is represented by the optical fiber. The advantage of a reduced bit rate generated by the delta encoder correlated with the intrinsic advantages of the optical fibers, especially the immunity to electric perturbations, leaded to a attractive implementation solution for a conditioning interface that can be used in complex acquisition and measurement systems. Also, the proposed delta encoder and the fiber optic based transmission system can be used in didactical laboratories for teaching advanced communication techniques.","PeriodicalId":122809,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Electronics, Computers and Artificial Intelligence (ECAI)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126408567","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}
