Data glove is a new dimension in the field of virtual-reality environments, initially designed to satisfy the stringent requirements of modern motion capture and animation professionals. In this research, we try to shift the implementation of data glove from motion animation towards signature verification problem, making use of the offered multiple degrees of freedom for each finger and for the hand as well. Our proposed approach is tested in context of highly skilled forgeries with a large number of signature data sets and obtained a significant level of accuracy in signature verification with 2.22%, 2.5%, 2.8% and 2.37% of Equal Error Rates (EER) with 5-, 7-, 9-, and 14-sensor based data sets, respectively.","PeriodicalId":144722,"journal":{"name":"2009 Innovative Technologies in Intelligent Systems and Industrial Applications","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116285302","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 ability to segment systematic defects that are present in a wafer allows rapid root cause identification and corrective measures to be taken. In this paper, we have developed an algorithm based on the connected-components labeling to perform defect cluster segmentation. Dilation and erosion procedure is performed prior to the labeling process to eliminate isolated random defects in the wafer. A thresholding method which involves manual analysis by an industrial specialist is discussed. The advantage of this method is the ease and speed of implementation, and its robustness in allowing fine-tuning that suits the intended application.","PeriodicalId":144722,"journal":{"name":"2009 Innovative Technologies in Intelligent Systems and Industrial Applications","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128045957","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 ENN model employs solar irradiance and ambient temperature as its inputs while the sole output is the kilowatt-hour energy output produced from the grid connected PV system. On the other hand, the objective function of the ENN is to maximize the correlation coefficient, R of the prediction task. In this study, the optimal pool population size in the ENN algorithm was investigated. Apart from that, the maximum average correlation coefficient obtained for the ENN training is 0.9942.

IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN technology has been developed to provide scalable and low cost network. For telemedicine application however, the technology does not fulfil the quality of service requirement yet. In order to overcome this problem, a cross layer design of wireless LAN is proposed. The design is based on IEEE 802.11e Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) and IEEE 802.11g standards in datalink and physical layers. This has been implemented in NS2 simulation environment. The simulation has been performed to deliver four traffics flows with different priorities. Simulation result shows that the cross layer design has better throughput value when delivering the video data than the conventional IEEE 802.11b wireless LAN. Thus, the new design has a potential to be used in telemedicine system.","PeriodicalId":144722,"journal":{"name":"2009 Innovative Technologies in Intelligent Systems and Industrial Applications","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116048083","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 objective of economic dispatch problem is to schedule output of the committed units such that the total fuel cost is minimized while meeting a set of operating constraints. In this paper, two modified particle swarm optimization algorithms with one of the accelerating coefficients being constant are proposed to solve the economic power dispatch problem with piecewise quadratic cost functions. The proposed algorithm was verified by applying to a 10-unit system available in literature. The results demonstrate that the feasibility and capability of the proposed method for solving economic dispatch problems with nonsmooth cost functions.

The EnCool fan has the ability to maintain the same or better heat ventilation rate as compared to ordinary axial cooling fan, and it uses less power. The EnCool fan uses embedded microcontroller with on chip temperature sensor, Analog to Digital converter, PWM module, Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter and LED output port embedded in an 8 pin chip to control the fan. The EnCool fan is made up of a transparent axial fan installed with 4 tri-colour LEDs located at its 4 edges for visual indication. By referring to the on chip temperature sensor, the 4 tri-colour LEDs would emit 7 different colors to indicate the temperature range that it sensed and the fan would rotate with an adequate speed to exhaust the heat out of the PC chassis. A prototype of EnCool Fan has been built to demonstrate its heat ventilation performance and energy efficiency. The temperature data inside the PC chassis is acquired using LabVIEW for performance analysis. Experimental results show that EnCool Fan has slightly better heat ventilation rate and saved more then 61% of power as compared to ordinary PC fan. EnCool Fan System shows promising heat ventilation and cooling solution in desktop and laptops PC chassis.","PeriodicalId":144722,"journal":{"name":"2009 Innovative Technologies in Intelligent Systems and Industrial Applications","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132871855","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}
