Since the country lies at the junction of three tectonic plates, the intensity of earthquakes felt in this region is moderate. Surprisingly, the number of deaths and financial loss in this region by earthquakes is not due to building crashes or being crushed under homes. Rather, major reasons of losses are due to indirect phenomena such as induction of fear, as well as fire induced from a cracked gas line or faulty electrical transmission line damaged by earthquakes. As a result, a low cost automated microcontroller based system has been designed and implemented using inexpensive locally sourced electronic components, which senses earthquakes and gas leaks via force sensitive resistors and gas sensors respectively. The microcontroller operates a relay and a motor that cuts off electricity and gas supplies respectively during the event of an earthquake, helping to prevent associated potential disasters.","PeriodicalId":122930,"journal":{"name":"2016 9th International Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (ICECE)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116884146","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}

A number of spectral entropy-based features such as the Shannon entropy, log-energy entropy, Renyi entropy and Tsallis entropy are calculated in the EEMD and CEEMDAN domain of the EEG signals. In lieu of using the signals from the EEG channels, the differences between two adjacent EEG channels are used due to its robustness to noise and interference. The ability of the entropy-based features in separating the focal and non-focal EEG signals is explored utilizing the one-way ANOVA analysis and the box-whisker plots. The results reveal that among the entropy measures computed in the EEMD and CEEMDAN domains, the quadratic Renyi entropy and log-energy entropy measures are most promising in discriminating the focal and non-focal EEG signals. The analysis may encourage the researchers to develop improved algorithms to classify these signals and would be helpful in locating the epileptogenic zones.","PeriodicalId":122930,"journal":{"name":"2016 9th International Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (ICECE)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127232458","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 past, various isolation techniques have been proposed for leakage current elimination in transformerless PV inverters. However, galvanic isolation only cannot completely eliminate leakage current due to that a resonant path is created by the switch junction capacitors, which also generate leakage current. The proposed freewheeling branch consists of four MOSFETs along with a clamping branch, which consists of two MOSFETs and a capacitor divider. The divider is connected to the DC side of the converter to keep constant CMV in the freewheeling path. As a result, the improved CMV clamping has been achieved for complete leakage current elimination. The unipolar sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) technique and modified HERIC topology with AC-decoupling for galvanic isolation is adopted for lower conduction losses. The proposed topology consists of only MOSFET in the freewheeling and clamping path which provides lower conduction losses compared with diode based topologies. The performances of the proposed topology in terms of common mode characteristics, leakage current, total harmonic distortion and conversion efficiency are analyzed and compared with H5, H6, HERIC and HBZBR topologies. The detail analyses are performed using MATLAB/Simulink and PSIM.","PeriodicalId":122930,"journal":{"name":"2016 9th International Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (ICECE)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123757627","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 sensory nodes in the network aid us by performing real time data acquisition which is needed to forecast different natural calamities. However communication in underwater with high success rate is quiet challenging because of the nature of the environment. Due to the high attenuation of EM wave in water, large amount of power is needed to communicate with EM waves. Therefore acoustic waves are mainly used for underwater communication. However, the combination of the EM and acoustic waves can be a better choice for that purpose. Here we have proposed a combination of both the EM and acoustic waves for our MAC protocol. The model uses the EM in the control channel whereas the acoustic wave carries the data. The control channel uses TDMA to avoid any control packet collision and thus making sure that no data packet collision will occur. To our best knowledge this type of proposal with EM wave has not yet been stated anywhere else. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves higher throughput than other MAC schemes examined in this paper.","PeriodicalId":122930,"journal":{"name":"2016 9th International Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (ICECE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122566485","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}

As EEG signals are consist of five different frequency bands, this paper represents a general methodology to determine the most effective rhythm for human identification. Using the different features from different rhythms in time and frequency domain, four neural networks are developed for the classification approach. Comparison of the designed neural networks shows that beta rhythm gives the best performance with a very low mean square error whereas delta rhythm gives the worst performance with comparative higher mean square error for identifying a person. It is concluded that beta rhythm is the most effective frequency band for human identification using EEG in resting and problem solving condition.","PeriodicalId":122930,"journal":{"name":"2016 9th International Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (ICECE)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122518610","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}

By the ITO surface modification technique, the interfacial energy barrier of ITO/EML is reduced enough to increase hole injection rate into the EML. Therefore, the carriers become more balanced which raise the recombination rate in the EML.
