A control module was developed to lighten labor intensity and guarantee experiment safety in the ESGHIS. A multi-function card PCI-1711 was selected as the core of the control module, which has high-speed data acquisition and digital/analog output. A relay OMRON/G2R-1 was used to automatically manage the startup/stop of units. A solenoid valve VP542 and a gas-control valve NV1-20-6M-ATC were used to operate overpressure protection. PLC TEMI550 was used to control programmable high-low temperature test chamber HLT705P through connecting it to a computer using a RS232/RS485 converter I-7520. A proportional valve and a stepper motor were used to control lifting and rotary speed of the drilling pipe in mini-drilling module. The corresponding software was coded by using multithreading and Visual C++6.0 language. It had good quality on interface, maintainability and expansibility. The whole module was operated successfully in the experiments of gas hydrates formation and mini-drilling simulation. It worked steadily, executed quickly and had high sensitivity for overpressure protection, which largely lightens the experimental intensity of the labor and enhances the safety of the experiments.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76403601","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}

We have used Higuchipsilas method for estimating FDs. This study helps in gaining a better understanding of the FD complexity measure for various signal parameters. Our results indicate that FD is a useful metric in estimating various signal properties. As an application of the FD measure in real world scenario, the FD is used as a feature in discriminating seizures from seizure free intervals in intracranial EEG data recordings and the FD feature has given good discrimination performance.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76408887","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 previous localization techniques they pinpoint the co-ordinates of each and every node in network, which makes it complex and energy inefficient. But in most of the cases it is sufficient to know the area, sector in which the event has occurred. For this purpose we have proposed a new idea of the spider web based localization protocol, where we can know event up to the sector of a level. The motivation behind this algorithm is spider web, where the sensor network is divided in to the levels and then into sectors which resembles a web.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79556234","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}

By generating high quality movies of the brain in action, it helps to determine which parts of human brain are activated by different task performances. The process can be modeled as a linear mixture of independent localized sources of oxygenation, where no a priori information is known about their properties. Here independent component analysis (ICA) is used to understand the brain functions and to explore spatiotemporal features in fMRI data. It has been especially successful to recover brain function related signals (task related and physiology related signals) from recorded mixtures of unrelated signals (noise). Due to the high dimensionality, high noise level and spikes (due to high sensitivity of MR scanners) analysis of fMRI data and order selection, i.e., estimation of independent component is critical. We have tried to find the independent components by a number of ICA algorithms from which Extended Efficient FastICA and Combi ICA are found to have better performance as they are robust to outliers (caused due to high sensitivity of MR scanners) and the accuracy in terms of Amari Performance Index is more as compared to others. In this paper we 1) describe fMRI data and its properties, 2) and show that the combi ICA faithfully separates the independent components from fMRI data.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82668459","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 this paper, the selection of concurrent communication pairs, that utilize the same resources, is formulated as a non-linear mixed integer programming problem. However, it has been found that the solution to this non-linear programming problem is NP-hard. Recently, a random data hopping (RDH) technique applied over a time slot partitioned system has been proposed by the authors as a novel heuristic algorithm. This random data hopping scheme is further studied in this paper for different values of traffic loads, and its performance is evaluated under realistic propagation conditions. It has been found that the variation of the system throughput with the traffic load follows a concave function, and it reaches its peak when the traffic load is around 30%.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88353455","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}

However, it may not be possible to execute all the tasks together to their fullest requirements, if the converter operation is restricted within a specified kVA rating. To ensure the safety of the semiconductor devices and the filter components, the converter operation is always restricted within the maximum specified apparent power. While performing one type of task completely, the other tasks may have to be limited. Therefore, it is a challenging and essential task to study the limits of multifunctional converter operation in terms of the power boundaries. The paper deals with a study of power boundaries in multifunctional operation of the voltage source converter using the instantaneous p-q-r theory. The case studies for the multifunctional compensator operation with the most common linear/non-linear loads on a three-phase four-wire power system are presented. The operation boundaries are plotted with the help of power quality indices.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91424914","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}

Based on RED between the generator and load nodes and the predefined bilateral power contracts, charge evaluation is carried out. Generally through some power exchange mechanism a set of bilateral contracts are determined that facilitate bilateral agreements between the generation and distribution entities. In this paper the possible charges incurred in meeting loads like generation charge, transmission charge and charge due to losses are evaluated. Case studies have been carried out on a few practical equivalent systems. Due to space limitation results for a sample 5 bus system are presented considering ideal load/generation power contracts and deviated load/generation power contracts. Extensive numerical testing indicates that the proposed allocation scheme produces loss allocations that are appropriate and that behave in a physically reasonable manner.","PeriodicalId":22230,"journal":{"name":"TENCON 2008 - 2008 IEEE Region 10 Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91456289","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}
