Patients who only can control their eyes can still communicate with the real-world using the assistive devices like one proposed in this paper. This device provides a human computer interface in order to take decisions based on their eye movement. A real time data stream is captured via webcam that transfers data serially to MATLAB. Then a sequential image processing scheme segments the iris of the eye and calculates the centroid, thereby generating control signal with the help of a reference axis. The control signals are then used to manipulate the position of a motorized platform via USB-microcontroller interface.","PeriodicalId":174623,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 21st International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115215037","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}

Also, the multiple floating gates were effectively used to simplify the circuit configurations. These topologies implement one or two variable objective functions, polynomial approximated and continued products decomposed. The objective functions must do not contain the time or frequency variables. The proposed topologies were analyzed for 0.5μm standard CMOS process via simulations for different objective functions.","PeriodicalId":174623,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 21st International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"156 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127225935","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 paper presents an intermediate non-expensive step towards improving the interoperability of heterogeneous sensor sub-nets in an university instrumentation lab, by using semantic annotated data. Being integrated with modern solutions for eLearning in engineering - like “instrumentation as a service” and “experiment as a service” - this approach aims at ontological integration in a Cloud enabled with advanced capabilities of discovery, interpretation, aggregation and management of heterogeneous instrumental networks.","PeriodicalId":174623,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 21st International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117277524","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}

Currently, the need to meet regulatory compliance requirements can be achieved only by performing signal integrity analysis and characterisations. This article reviews and summarizes the progress made in Time Domain Reflectometry measurements and explores the issues involved in making precision impedance measurements of high speed interconnects. Moreover, factors limiting the accuracy of Time Domain Reflectometry measurements, such as dynamic range, rise time degradation, spatial resolution, multiple reflections and their impact on developing high speed interconnects are discussed in detail.","PeriodicalId":174623,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 21st International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116097729","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 condensate layer thickness is the main influencing factor during the heat transfer of the VPS process. The phase change on the substrate and the transfer mechanisms in the condensate layer were included in a three-dimensional numerical model. Stationary and saturated vapour conditions were applied as boundary conditions, in order to separate the effects of the substrate properties from the effects of the realistic unsteady and nonhomogeneous vapour conditions. Three different substrate materials was studied: FR4, 94% Alumina and Insulated Metal Substrate (IMS). The effect of the substrate shapes and thicknesses was also studied. It was found that the thermal properties of the substrate has considerable effects on the formation of the condensate layer and consequently on the heat transfer of the VPS. It was also proven that shape of the substrates has non-ignorable effects since it affects the movement of the condensate on the surface of the substrate.","PeriodicalId":174623,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 21st International Symposium for Design and Technology in Electronic Packaging (SIITME)","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115449533","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}
