At first, the disc brake model is simulated and analyzed using a closed loop pure PID controller. Later, it is integrated with AFC and simulated under similar operating environment. After running several tests with different sets of operating and loading conditions, the results both in time and frequency domains show that the PID controller with AFC is much more effective in reducing the vibration and noise, compared to the pure PID controller alone.","PeriodicalId":144722,"journal":{"name":"2009 Innovative Technologies in Intelligent Systems and Industrial Applications","volume":"52 10 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":"115508391","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}

Many innovative applications with mobile phones were implemented apart from the conventional voice data transfer. Short Message Service (SMS) originally developed for sending status information by the service providers have found numerous applications recently including business transactions. In this project, a prototype of a wireless health monitoring system capable of sending SMS related to the health status of the patient is developed. The project can be divided in to three stages of data acquisition, data processing and communication stages. A data acquisition stage consists of sensors to monitor the temperature and pulse rate. The sensor outputs are converted to digital form and read by a Basic Stamp microcontroller which does some processing and is sent through the serial port to the Visual Basic™ data processing software. Various GUI forms like patient information are developed in Visual Basic to assist in data processing. Critical values of the measured data can be set; exceeding which the Visual Basic will initiate the communication unit to send SMS to the predefined mobile numbers. When anomalies are detected or a threshold is reached, the monitoring system automatically transmits the information to the doctor's hand phone on the mobile network as a SMS message via a GSM device / SMS gateway and at the same time the system will update the hospital database periodically. For each stages of the project various design options were considered and the best one is chosen. The project was successful as a prototype to send SMS regarding the patient info to the doctors. Since only a prototype was intended in this project, sensors accuracy and other data acquisition features were compromised by choosing or simulating the available sensor rather than using biomedical sensors due to cost and availability factors.","PeriodicalId":144722,"journal":{"name":"2009 Innovative Technologies in Intelligent Systems and Industrial Applications","volume":"2676 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":"130628546","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}

Large and complex computational units can be built / composed out of the available services. This type of concept and architecture is called Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Implementation of SOA brings about challenges which include service discovery, service interaction, service composition, robustness, quality of service, security, etc. These challenges are mainly due to the dynamic nature of SOA. SOA may often need to dynamically (re)-organize its topologies of interactions between the services due to unpredictable events, such as crashes or network problems, which will cause services unavailability. The dynamic characteristic of SOA is quite similar with the characteristic of self-organizing systems, in the way that they are able to organize elements (services in the case of SOA) in order to change their functions or create new functions on higher levels (emergence). Therefore, we believe that the dynamic characteristic of SOA can benefit from the use of self-organization primitives found in nature. In this paper, we elaborate the idea of adapting self-organizing systems found in nature into SOA in order to ensure the robustness of SOA, and the proposed architecture is presented.","PeriodicalId":144722,"journal":{"name":"2009 Innovative Technologies in Intelligent Systems and Industrial Applications","volume":"173 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":"126941869","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}
