This paper investigates the radiation characteristics of proposed arrays of quadrifilar helix antenna as an application on a CubeSat in L-band. Firstly, the problem is formulated using the moment method for a four-element array on top of a CubeSat is considered. Then, the radiation patterns, array gain, and axial ratio are depicted. Finally, the characteristics of a cavity-backed four-element quadrifilar helical antenna on top of a CubeSat are investigated. Simulation results show that the antenna gain increases using the cavity while the axial ratio slightly decreases.","PeriodicalId":142898,"journal":{"name":"2023 20th Learning and Technology Conference (L&T)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114797645","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 study aimed to create solid-state 3D models of the vertebral segments and test their deformations and stress state under different circumstances.Methods: 3D finite element computer model of lumbar segments was created and tested for the range of motion and stress patterns generated at the lumbar spine using SOLIDWORKS® Simulation software (https://www.solidworks.com/). The finite-element mesh was developed for this model. It consisted of 52662 elements and 90426 nodes, with 271278 degrees of freedom. Parabolic triangular and tetrad elements with a size of 4.15 mm and a tolerance of 0.2075 mm were utilized. After validation, the model was analyzed under static compression 300N to mimic the vertical position of the body.Results: The following average stress levels were determined in the different components of the model during the test: on the upper vertebra - 9.34±0.11 MPa, on the middle - 10.66±0.10 MPa, and the lower - 8.99±0.09 MPa; on the upper intervertebral disc 0.58±0.01 MPa, and the lower - 0.69±0.01 MPa; on the anterior longitudinal ligament - 0.02±0.001 MPa; on the posterior longitudinal ligament - 0.05±0.001 MPa; on the upper transverse ligaments - 0.01±0.001 MPa, and the lower - 0.04±0.001 MPa; on the interspinous ligaments - 0.02±0.001 MPa, and the supraspinatus - 0.03±0.001 MPa.Conclusions: Modeling static compression showed that the maximum stresses were primarily distributed over the vertebral bodies’ cortical bone and extinguished by the trabecular structure and intervertebral discs. Maximal displacements were found in the annulus fibrosus. Solid-state models with a finite-element mesh can be used for biomechanical investigations in vertebral segments. However, more extensive sample studies with different models may be required to compare movement and loading patterns at different lumbar spine structures.","PeriodicalId":142898,"journal":{"name":"2023 20th Learning and Technology Conference (L&T)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115568558","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}

For that purpose, two optimization techniques followed by fine-tuning are proposed and simulated to get the optimized PID parameters. The first proposed optimization method applies the Satin Bowerbird (SB) optimization technique to optimize the PID parameters. The Crow Search Optimization (CSO) technique is applied to the SB results to improve the algorithm's performance and the PID parameters. The second proposed method applies the Emperor Penguin Optimization (EPO) technique for the optimization of the PID parameters. The results of both methods are fine-tuned. Moreover, a Kalman filter is used to improve the outcomes after and before tuning the PID parameters.

Kumar. J, M. Majid","doi":"10.1109/LT58159.2023.10092334","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/LT58159.2023.10092334","url":null,"abstract":"Wireless sensing is now the spine of diverse Internet of Things (IoT) applications. In the Metaverse, the Internet of Things (IoT) can offer wireless and seamlessly integrated immersive digital experiences. Because the Metaverse's enabling technologies are considered to be energy-hungry, questions have been raised concerning the sustainability of its widespread adoption and development. IoT-based wireless sensor networks (WSN) readings are contaminated and distorted by noise. The noise in the signal causes the sensor node's (SN) computations and power consumption to rise, shortening the sensor node's longevity. To reduce noise, an efficient technique is therefore crucial. Finite-impulse response (FIR) filter is commonly employed in IoT-based WSN as a signal pre-processing stage in eliminating noise from the sensor measurements. The multiplication operation's number of adders (logic operators) and the adder steps (logic depths) determine the hardware complexities of FIR filters. The speed of the related application is determined by the multiplier's speed. By reducing the partial product (PP) row, the Booth method speeds up multiplication. The coefficients used by R8BR are ±0,±1 ,±2,±3,and ±4. As a result of the formation of odd multiples ±3, there will be a delay. The adder is required to add ±1 and ±2 for its calculations. This slowdown the multiplication procedures and reduces the recoding performance. To reduce the delay brought on by the creation of odd multiples, a carry resists adder (CRA) is used. CRA was explicitly built to achieve adding of ±2 and ±1 without carry propagation. Theoretically, it is observed that the CRA minimizes delay to 86.26% compared to carry propagation adder (CPA) approaches. Additionally, compared to a typical R8BR multiplier, the experimental findings indicated delay, area, and power reductions of 48.98%, 56.66%, and 31.2%, respectively. Without carry propagating, the CRA does addition faster, with less energy, and occupies less area.","PeriodicalId":142898,"journal":{"name":"2023 20th Learning and Technology Conference (L&T)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128882976","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}
