Aiming to enhance the efficiency of the oil spill response, this paper presents the design, prototyping, and testing of a LED-based spectrometer instrument that measures the thickness of thin oil sheens floating on the water surface. The presented instrument is mounted on a free-floating buoy allowing it to provide oil thickness measurements at different locations within the spill area. Thickness measurements are sent wirelessly to a base station at near real-time rates. The main advantage of the proposed instrument over the prior art is its low cost, simple operation, and the ability to work in dynamic environments under varying lighting conditions. Operational testing was performed at the Ohmsett facility, under different static and dynamic conditions. The experimental results demonstrate the accuracy and repeatability of the proposed instrument.","PeriodicalId":220641,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Multidisciplinary Conference on Engineering Technology (IMCET)","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134275425","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}

In other words, knowing the sets of 2D-3D corresponding points, one can extract the camera matrix and dissect it into parameters of interest: intrinsics and extrinsics. The method that is validated by code shows in detail how to setup a theoretical world and camera coordinate frame, and then through the knowledge of the correspondence, displays the solution to the optimization problem.

Such knowledge is inferred from generated GPS readings together with distance measurements calculated using the beacons broadcasted periodically by other neighboring vehicles. Furthermore, the proposed solution methodology also adopts the locations of stationary RoadSide Units (RSUs) as fixed reference points that help in determining the locations of vehicles whenever these vehicles navigate through the RSUs’ coverage ranges. It is shown here that the additional position measurements received from neighboring vehicles lead to a remarkably accurate estimate of the position of a certain target vehicle. An analytical framework is established in this paper with the objective of formulating the target vehicle’s position estimate problem using particle filters. The validity, reliability and accuracy of the presented mathematical formulae are verified through extensive simulations using a combination of the Network Simulator (NS-3) and the Simulation for Urban MObility (SUMO) that were used to generate realistic vehicular mobility traces.","PeriodicalId":220641,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Multidisciplinary Conference on Engineering Technology (IMCET)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126492594","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 objective of this step is to model and control the initial part of a wind musical instrument (flute) which is the artificial mouth, for the purpose of precisely controlling the input pressure and the output flow that will be feeding the resonator of the instrument in order to get a very precise musical note. The modelling part will be done using Matlab/Simulink blocks that will present the system description and its parameters. The control law system design of the pressure inside the artificial mouth will be used in this modelling. For the control part, a frequency-domain approach is used to synthesize a traditional PI2 controller and a CRONE controller. Finally, a comparative study shows that the CRONE controller leads to a better robust and stable degree of the pressure supply with respect to its uncertainties.","PeriodicalId":220641,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Multidisciplinary Conference on Engineering Technology (IMCET)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130325666","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}

Potential functions form attraction and repulsion forces among the swarm elements that balance when the swarm forms a predefined geometrical formation. Potential functions are also used to add repulsive properties to the obstacles in the environment to ensure safe navigation of the swarm. The location of the fire is finally updated with attractive potential function that makes the swarm navigates towards the flames.

In this paper, we propose a lightweight encryption solution, reminiscent of Blockchain technology, that generates keys based on a CAN frame’s payload and the previous key, thus rendering a robust solution.

First, a Luenberger state observer is designed by means of considering the uncertainties as a torque disturbance to the modeled wheel dynamics and augmenting the state space to include the disturbance torque for observation. Second, an adaptive scheme is adopted to estimate the uncertainties, which are lumped together on the braking pads friction coefficient of each wheel, as one varying parameter. The proposed estimation schemes are implemented in the MATLAB /Simulink® environment and validated via co-simulation on CarSim®. The obtained results validate the effectiveness and accuracy of both schemes, with the adaptive estimator exhibiting faster transient response.","PeriodicalId":220641,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Multidisciplinary Conference on Engineering Technology (IMCET)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115197623","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 system consists of four sources of energy: the unreliable utility supply of Electricité du Liban (EDL), a diesel generator, PV solar panels, and a battery bank for energy storage. System operation is simulated over one year using SSDP to deduce the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for a given set of source sizes. The OO approach offers an efficient methodology to evaluate alternative designs in order to select the best source sizes that minimize the LCOE of the system. As per OO theory, order is more robust than value, and thus the alternative designs will first be evaluated using a “simple model” that simulates system operation using SSDP over two typical winter and summer weeks to save computational time. The alternative designs are then sorted in an ascending order based on an estimated LCOE and the top-S designs are selected. Then the top-S designs are evaluated using an “accurate model” simulating system operation over a year, and the “optimum” design is identified with a high alignment probability. The model is tested to determine an “optimum” design of a hybrid power system for Qaraoun village, in the West Beqaa, given data on power consumption trends, available space and solar radiation.","PeriodicalId":220641,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Multidisciplinary Conference on Engineering Technology (IMCET)","volume":"21 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132939361","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}
