Those systems are part of complex electronic equipment, that – with its sensors, microcontrollers, cable harnesses – will represent up to 40% of the total manufacturing cost. Today, virtual prototyping is integral part of development process, assuring fast innovation cycles and minimizing costs. A multiscale hybrid strategy is proposed to simulate Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in both Short Radar Range (SRR) and Long Radar Range (LRR). While SRR devices (typically blind spot/dead-angle radars) are operating at 24 GHz, the LRR devices used for Adaptive Cruise Control systems are utilizing the 77 GHz band. The sensor itself is modeled using FDTD or MoM/MLFMM methods. Then, the related electromagnetic environment is computed by means of Physical Optics (PO). Dedicated PO upgrades are utilized to handle plastic parts (bumper, front grille) in front of a sensor.","PeriodicalId":177095,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Applied Electronics (AE)","volume":"168 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127344173","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 main attention is dedicated to the study of the influence of clock frequency and the capacitance of the used capacitor to key parameters of proposed FCP. This studying is performed by measurement of four specimens of FCP with different values of capacitance and clocking frequency. The rationalisation increases the efficiency to 85 % approximately (for VIN=3 V, VOUT =34.3 V, IOUT =1 mA). The results of this work allow rational selection of capacitance in relation to requested parameters of the designed charge pump.","PeriodicalId":177095,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Applied Electronics (AE)","volume":"174 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122992095","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}

New business models require more data, collected by IIoT edge node sensors based on inexpensive and low performance Microcontroller Units (MCUs). A negative side effect of this rise of interconnections is the increased attack surface, enabled by a larger network with more network services. Attaching badly documented and cheap devices to industrial networks often without permission of the administrator even further increases the security risk. A decent method to monitor the network and detect “unwanted” devices is network scanning. Typically, this scanning procedure is executed by a computer or server in each sub-network. In this paper, we introduce network scanning and mapping as a building block to scan directly from the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) edge node devices. This module scans the network in a pseudo-random periodic manner to discover devices and detect changes in the network structure. Furthermore, we validate our approach in an industrial testbed to show the feasibility of this approach.","PeriodicalId":177095,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Applied Electronics (AE)","volume":"250 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121460922","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 is implemented in assembly language and it is written in the information area of the microcontroller memory by using any usual tool for flashing. Then, the source of the application can be developed. The application code that is obtained by using the compiler and linker must be sent to the microcontroller. For this purpose, a serial communication between PC and the UART port of the microcontroller via an USB to serial converter is implemented. In this case a MATLAB application is run on the PC while the bootloader is run on the microcontroller. Finally, the bootloader receives and writes the application code in the main area of the Flash memory. Thus, an efficient method to update the application code, having advantages in comparison with those in literature is proposed.","PeriodicalId":177095,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Applied Electronics (AE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114112551","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}

Concretely, low-pass and bandpass Sallen-Key, Huelsman (i.e. multi feedback) and non-cascade filter structures are confronted with the limits of a real operational amplifier. Firstly, the reasons for the degradation of the attenuation are explained theoretically. Secondly, these conclusions are verified by simulations.

After detecting the interruption of the light curtain, a safety function is activated to bring the danger zone into a safe state (non-human). If the space taken by the light curtain is at the same time a working space, it is necessary to distinguish whether the light curtain interrupt is caused by man or material (material flows cannot cause the dangerous zone to be put into a safe state). There are several ways how to achieve this resolution, but additional (optional) sensors are commonly used. The paper deals with the parameters of additional sensors and how to connect them to the achieved Safety Integrity Level (SIL) of the safety functions realized by the help of the light curtain.","PeriodicalId":177095,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Applied Electronics (AE)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122140614","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}
