Furthermore, a special approach towards the feed network design has been attempted which reduces the power division ratio in the feed network to a significant amount. The simulation results show good side lobe level with good directivity and gain.","PeriodicalId":137485,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Region 10 Symposium (TENSYMP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131021796","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 now days DNNs are widely used where high accuracy is required. However, due to the structural complexity, deep learning models are highly computationally intensive. To improve the system performance, optimization techniques such as weight quantization and pruning are commonly adopted. Another approach to improve the system performance is by applying heterogeneous architectures. Processor with Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) architectures are commonly used for deep learning training and inference acceleration. However, GPUs are expensive and consume much power that not a perfect solution for embedded systems. In this paper, we implemented a deep neural network on a Zynq SoC which is a heterogenous system integrated of ARM processor and FPGA. We trained the model with MNIST database, quantized the model’s 32-bit floating point weights and bias into integer and implemented model to inference in FPGA. As a result, we deployed a network on an embedded system while maintaining inference accuracy and accelerated the system performance with using less resources.","PeriodicalId":137485,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Region 10 Symposium (TENSYMP)","volume":"68 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131673752","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 order to reduce this power overhead, the processing and actuating block of the control system are duty-cycled. In addition, reducing the granularity or the number of the matching circuit sets lessens the power overhead needed for sensing, processing, and actuating. The RF energy harvester was implemented using an intermittent dynamic matching circuit to improve its input power sensitivity. By reducing the power overhead of the dynamic matching circuit, the RF energy harvester’s lower input power limit was extended from -7dBm to -20dBm.","PeriodicalId":137485,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Region 10 Symposium (TENSYMP)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132038153","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 preliminary experiment is carried out to record the kinematics and tilt angle of the safety hook from an IMU sensor in real-time through User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Communication. Machine learning algorithms (SVM, Naive Bayes, KNN, etc.) are trained to detect the status of a safety hook as attached and unattached in 3 testing scenarios. The result of this research demonstrates the opportunity of utilizing SSHs at the construction site to eliminate the FFH incidents in real-time with high accuracy and precision.

The proposed project consists of LiDAR Lite V3, Arduino UNO and two servo motors as its main component. LiDAR sensor is used to collect the intensity value that reflects from the Virescens oil palm FFB, and the data collected are saved in a CSV file for further analysis. The methodology used in this research is the Iterative Waterfall model. This model supports redesign if there are any improvements needed in this project, and the phase can be looped back to the previous iteration if the process faces any errors.
