This paper explores this issue, concentrating on the impact of transistor size scaling on analog design in CMOS technology. Circuit performance - voltage gain, power dissipation, output voltage swing and cut-off frequency are observed throughout this paper to analyze the impact of transistor size scaling.

The problem is to study each individual behavior and coordinate individual system behaviors to achieve the goal of the system. Competition or collaboration among behaviors to achieve the goals of a system requires arbitration and/or fusion of control signals. Arbitration in most of the systems is specified in terms of ‘events’. Discrete switching between groups of behaviors is achieved by detection of these ‘events’. Several individual behaviors are modeled using dynamical system approach. A simple rule-based system is applied as the coordination system for behaviors. In addition “Desperation” / FED UP behavior as in Human behavior is modeled so as to instill a bio-inspired behavior to the existing navigation system. FED UP factor is intended to mimic common “desperation” in human behavior to find a solution to avoid working on the similar tasks continuously at a time period. The FED UP factor as in Human desperation can lead to Malefic or Benefic effects. However as seen in the results, the effects of desperation can be controlled, moderated and made beneficial. The behavior coordination framework illustrates the arbitration and fusion of behaviors which facilitates smooth transition between behaviors.","PeriodicalId":144722,"journal":{"name":"2009 Innovative Technologies in Intelligent Systems and Industrial Applications","volume":"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":"127183475","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 combination of surface Laplacian filtering, Time-Frequency Analysis (Wavelet Transform) and linear classifiers (K Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA)) are used to detect the discrete emotions (happy, surprise, fear, disgust, and neutral) of human through EEG signals. The database is generated with 20 subjects in the age group of 21∼39 years using 64 channels with a sampling frequency of 256 Hz. An audio-visual induction (video clips) based protocol has been designed for evoking the discrete emotions. The raw EEG signals are preprocessed through Surface Laplacian filtering method and decomposed into five different EEG frequency bands using Wavelet Transform (WT) and the statistical features from alpha frequency band is considered for classifying the emotions. In our work, there are four different wavelet functions (“db4”, “db8”, “sym8” and “coif5”) are used to derive the linear and non linear features for classifying the emotions. The validation of statistical features is performed using 5 fold cross validation. In this work, KNN outperforms LDA by offering a maximum average classification rate of 78.04 % on 62 channels, 77.61% and 71.30% on 24 channels and 8 channels respectively. Finally we present the average classification accuracy and individual classification accuracy of two different classifiers for justifying the performance of our emotion recognition system.","PeriodicalId":144722,"journal":{"name":"2009 Innovative Technologies in Intelligent Systems and Industrial Applications","volume":"49 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":"115671270","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 optimum Canny edges are obtained through varying the Gaussian filter standard deviation and the threshold value. Simulation results show that the proposed hybrid edge detection method is able to consistently and effectively produce better edge features even in noisy images. Compared to the other three edge detection techniques, the hybrid edge detector has demonstrated its superiority by returning specific edges with less noise.","PeriodicalId":144722,"journal":{"name":"2009 Innovative Technologies in Intelligent Systems and Industrial Applications","volume":"134 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":"122581316","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}
