The optimization of pumps operating points is time consuming and calculation heavy work. It is a common practise to simplify this tasks by increasing the reserve threshold for the pumps parameters and skip the system multiple operation point analysis. All this streamlining leads to the low-efficiency performance of the network which increase both initial building and exploitation costs. Today's constantly increasing scope and flexibility of both electric and hydraulic system modelling software allows engineers to perform the full in-depth network analysis which can be used to both increase performance and reduce the losses of the heating supply infrastructure.","PeriodicalId":165425,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference Electronics","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116436774","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}

Field distribution can be measured with a 3-axis Hall probe sensor, which is moved around the sample. There are excellent systems available in market for this purpose for example, magnetic field mapper MMS-1A-RS from SENIS AG. However, these systems are quite expensive, starting from 25000=C. Here we demonstrate how a simple automated magnetic field mapper can be made from common parts found in laboratories, test it to verify accuracy, compare results with numerical simulations and discuss the benefits of this low-cost alternative.","PeriodicalId":165425,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference Electronics","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133895050","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 algorithm is based on flexible time warping of spectrogram tables and statistical fuzzy logic processing of in-group and out-group discrepancy parameter typical values. The new key parameters introduced are the discrepancy [dB/square] between every two voice commands and rejection-recognition match parameter between −1 and +1 to characterize probability that the command-under-test belongs to a certain group. The developed algorithm complemented by several bonus and penalty mechanisms made possible to reach 97%-99 % recognition rate with a steep learning curve demanding only 10 example commands per group. Further testing also showed that the algorithm was capable to demonstrate a reasonable 80%-85 % accuracy with only 1–3 example commands.","PeriodicalId":165425,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference Electronics","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121128020","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}

It can understand your questions and answer them using Google's speech technologies. Although it is not a humanoid robot, with eyes and mouth simulator LED displays, it is as friendly as a human. We can also control TozTorUs using a mobile phone. Apart from these, it is able to adjust its height with respect to the visitor's, thus allowing it to make an eye contact with the person. Although TozTorUs is designed for welcoming, it may also be employed for consulting, security and elderly assistance.","PeriodicalId":165425,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference Electronics","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117183852","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}

Possible restrictions on chosen policy and objective functions were taken into account. Using the WCNE algorithm, the authors were able to create a clustered network with a CH set, which minimizes the energy consumed for transmission, while maximizing the network's lifetime and the probability of delivering information to the other endpoint.","PeriodicalId":165425,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference Electronics","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124679100","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}
