The system was implemented with high quality relays having good response in the amateur radio frequency range. System control could be done through personal computer or Android mobile phone. In addition, this system was integrated with a software-defined receiver. The implemented system was capable of selecting appropriate antenna as designed. The attenuation loss and signal reflection were acceptable by conventional amateur radio standards. This system has a user-friendly interface via mobile phone and personal computer. In addition to regular amateur radio setup, this work was tested with a software-defined receiver and it could operate in the similar designed conditions.","PeriodicalId":207985,"journal":{"name":"2015 7th International Conference on Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ICITEE)","volume":"26 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":"114768938","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}

An accurate method to predict path quality can provide a valuable insight into the routing process design for supporting reliable transmissions in various types of wireless network implementations. Existing studies describe the data transmission process based only on the information from Network layer. However, Data link layer also affects the outcomes of the data transmissions too. In this paper, a theoretical mathematical model for predicting path quality in term of Packet Reception Ratio (PRR) is presented. The proposed mathematical model is based on the cross-layer information from both the network layer and the data link layer. The proposed model is validated with the results from NS2 simulator and the results from existing model. The results from the comparisons show that the proposed model can provide the estimated PRR values that are much closer to the simulation results than the existing model.","PeriodicalId":207985,"journal":{"name":"2015 7th International Conference on Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ICITEE)","volume":"48 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":"123450313","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 has been successfully applied in many applications such as image segmentation, pattern recognition, texture analysis and medical signal analysis. However, the accuracy improvement of FD estimation is still a grand challenge. This paper proposes a modified differential box-counting method using weighted triangle-box partition (MDBC) to reduce the estimation error caused by an undercounting problem. The proposed method is derived from two assumptions: (i) increasing the precision of box-counts by using unequally triangle box partition, and (ii) weighting the box-counts in proportion to the size of triangle-box partition. Based on these assumptions, on each grid a square box is divided into four asymmetric triangle-box patterns. Each pattern is calculated the box-counts by a weighted box-counting technique. The maximum number of box-counts represents the better estimation. In this way, the experimental results show that MDBC outperforms the baseline methods in terms of fitting error. Furthermore, the proposed method applies to finger-knuckle-print recognition in order to test its efficiency. The results illustrate that it significantly enhances the recognition rate when compared with the conventional differential box-counting (DBC) and improved triangle box-counting in combination with DBC (ITBC-DBC) methods.","PeriodicalId":207985,"journal":{"name":"2015 7th International Conference on Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ICITEE)","volume":"1 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":"129428188","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}

Therefore, we developed some teaching materials of sequence control for international students and students in our college. Relay sequential control is the subject matter in these materials for beginners, because it is the foundation of sequence control. The purpose of manufacturing the materials is to enable students to understand the foundations of sequential circuits. Next, as an advanced step-up course of fundamental teaching materials, we developed new teaching materials whose subject is inverted-pendulum system. The controlled object is controlled based on the position information from the potentiometer, and the pendulum is kept upright as the cart moves by the electrical signal the controller generates. Therefore, the objective of this inverted-pendulum system is to keep pendulum standing upright. The purpose of developing this teaching material is to enable students to understand sequence control using PLC-sequence control. This advanced teaching material will be used for lectures in our college and visiting lectures in overseas partner universities. At present, we are testing the inverted pendulum system, but we can only keep it standing for one second. The reasons why we cannot keep pendulum standing may be: moving velocity of the ball-screw-stage is too slow and oscillation period of the pendulum is too short. We will consider how to solve these problems.","PeriodicalId":207985,"journal":{"name":"2015 7th International Conference on Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ICITEE)","volume":"35 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":"128503901","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}

This representation, which is usually in the form of a search query, is arguably considered ambiguous or underspecified. To deal with this uncertainty, much recent research has focused on creating IR systems that diversify search results so as to satisfy the multiple possible information needs underlying the query. To validate these IR systems, many new evaluation metrics have been proposed to quantify their effectiveness in terms of diversity and redundancy. Among these, a new diversity-based metric, called normalized Coverage Frequency (nCF), has lately been proposed to quantify diversity in a ranking. When a new metric is proposed, its reliability needs to be validated. This paper conducts an empirical experiment to compares and contrast state-of-the-art diversity and redundancy-based metrics, in term of discriminative power and stability of system rankings. Our experiment shows that the nCF is rated the best among all the studied metrics. Moreover, this finding is confirmed by when nCF is interpolated with other redundancy-based metrics (i.e., ERR-SA and A-nDCG). the nCF is considered more relatively robust than another diversity metric, subtopic-recall.","PeriodicalId":207985,"journal":{"name":"2015 7th International Conference on Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ICITEE)","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":"128262643","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}

A speedy FAST feature extraction and tracking has to trade-off its accuracy, which sometimes causes a failure in human entrance/exit detection. Many video sizes are therefore tested in the system to examine the trade-off effects on the accuracy of feature extraction, tracking, and entry/exit detection. Tracking parameters are also investigated to determine the optimal values for each video resolution, such that stable tracking and detection are achieved. Experimental results show that the higher the video resolution is the more the error is likely to happen. Instability of feature extraction and position which increases in higher resolution is proved to be the main reason of failure. Increasing the number of previous images used in the update of background feature model, proportional to the resolution of video, takes into account the feature uncertainty. As the result, the proposed method is robust to changes in video resolution and runs at 30 fps without a miss of human entrance/exit detection and false alarm.","PeriodicalId":207985,"journal":{"name":"2015 7th International Conference on Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (ICITEE)","volume":"6 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":"127275202","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}
