The results of the return loss (S11), gain and radiation pattern of the proposed antenna have been simulated by using antenna analysis software IE3D program. The transmission line and ground plane have been designed to be on the same plane with antenna slot to be applicable for wideband operation. It is found that the proposed antenna is accessible to bandwidth about 107.69 %, a very large bandwidth comparing with conventional microstrip antennas, which mostly 1–5 % bandwidth. Measured maximum gains were approximately 4.11 dBi, 4.61 dBi for 2.45 GHz, 3.1 GHz band, respectively. The proposed antenna can be used for many wireless systems such as GSM1800, GSM1900, IMT-2000 and WLAN. Finally, simulation and measurement results for the design example are presented and a conclusion follows.","PeriodicalId":123701,"journal":{"name":"The 8th Electrical Engineering/ Electronics, Computer, Telecommunications and Information Technology (ECTI) Association of Thailand - Conference 2011","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128143739","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}

All of the hardware units were controlled by in-house software under LABVIEW program via USB port of a DAQ card. The sensing unit includes eight different metal oxide gas sensors from Figaro Engineering Inc. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used as a statistical method in order to discriminate and assess the experimental data as defined by the percentage change in sensor resistances that correlates directly to difference in the aroma characteristics. Drift compensation model was applied to the raw data that sometimes suffer from the effects of sensor drift. Constructed portable e-nose has been tested on-field in a winery to evaluate wine aroma during process of wine bottling. The e-nose using PCA algorithm can distinguish the wine bottling under nitrogen from the bottling under partial vacuum. We also demonstrated that e-nose can be used to help wine maker to design the appropriate process of wine bottling achieving a high quality of wine product.","PeriodicalId":123701,"journal":{"name":"The 8th Electrical Engineering/ Electronics, Computer, Telecommunications and Information Technology (ECTI) Association of Thailand - Conference 2011","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122161331","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 S11 bandwidth of the antenna is affected by the fractal stub. It has been found that the antenna bandwidth will decrease when the iteration of fractal stub increases, which it will be opposite to the conventional fractal structures. In this study, fractal models with the 0, 1st, and 2nd iterations have been employed, resulting in the S11 bandwidths to be 121%, 115%, and 82%, respectively. Moreover, the radiation patterns of the presented antenna are still bi-directions and the average gains of antenna are above 2 dBi for all of fractal stub iterations. Results indicate an impedance bandwidth covering the band for 3G, WLAN, and WiMAX.","PeriodicalId":123701,"journal":{"name":"The 8th Electrical Engineering/ Electronics, Computer, Telecommunications and Information Technology (ECTI) Association of Thailand - Conference 2011","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126354429","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}

GA-SQP is a novel algorithm in power systems. The proposed algorithm is used to determine optimal placement of SVC controller and solving optimal power flow (OPF) to enhance TTC simultaneously. The proposed OPF is used to evaluate feasible TTC value within real and reactive power generation limits, line thermal limits, voltage limits and SVC operation limits. A 5 bus test system is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the GA-SQP algorithm to enhance the TTC of the system. The results clearly indicate that introduction of SVC with proper parameters and location could enhance TTC.","PeriodicalId":123701,"journal":{"name":"The 8th Electrical Engineering/ Electronics, Computer, Telecommunications and Information Technology (ECTI) Association of Thailand - Conference 2011","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123057305","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}

However, the process for discovering the route may increase the routing overhead. In this paper, we improve our previous scheme to reduces routing overhead with adaptive request zone which is called Adaptive Request Zone for Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (ARZAODV). In ARZAODV, we consider that the request zone may not be fixed but it can be chosen adaptively depending on the variation of distance between source node and destination node because those nodes may change the position. We evaluate the performance of ARZAODV by means of the simulation using NS-2. The performance metrics are packet delivery fraction and routing overhead. Our simulation results are compared with our previous scheme called Modified Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance (MAODV) and the traditional Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV). The results show that ARZAODV can provide not only reducing the routing overhead and also increasing the packet delivery fraction comparing with MAODV and AODV.","PeriodicalId":123701,"journal":{"name":"The 8th Electrical Engineering/ Electronics, Computer, Telecommunications and Information Technology (ECTI) Association of Thailand - Conference 2011","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123673528","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}

Briefly, it rapidly detects endo-cardium contour and left ventricular (LV) chamber region. Using the endo-cardium contour as initial seeds, the algorithm applies region growing of the LV in polar coordinates to achieve a reasonable epi-cardium contour. Preliminary results with the online cardiac MR database show that the proposed method can provide a mean absolute error of 54.325 ± 5.24 mm2 for myocardium area computed from endo- and epi-cardium contour detection, accounting for 92% accuracy compared to the ground truth. The total time of detection is approximately 0.86 and 3.26 seconds per image frame for endo- and epi-cardium contours, respectively. These promising results reflect a potential use of the proposed algorithm for clinical applications in the future.","PeriodicalId":123701,"journal":{"name":"The 8th Electrical Engineering/ Electronics, Computer, Telecommunications and Information Technology (ECTI) Association of Thailand - Conference 2011","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129321807","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}
