The study involved the participation and data collection from 79 human subjects, ranging from age 20–60 years old. This model can be analysed further to be used as a predictor for the formation of foot ulceration in certain subjects.","PeriodicalId":222751,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 5th International Conference on Smart Instrumentation, Measurement and Application (ICSIMA)","volume":"35 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":"133255429","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}

For preprocessing, a completely automated method for detection of artefactual Independent Component ICs from EEG data using automatic EEG artifact detector based on the joint use of spatial and temporal features (ADJUST) have been used. A Matlab tool is developed to load the raw data of Emotiv into the EEGLAB for filtering and basic feature extraction, such as Power Spectral Density (PSD) and Hjorth parameter.

Currently, underfoot pressure ranges have not been effectively established, and there is insufficient information about the minimum and maximum values of underfoot pressure. Likewise, constraints with regard to the implementation of insole systems still persist and are represented by the need to put a spacer on the sensor during measurements, and the problem of sensor parameters changing after the calibration. These challenges are addressed in this work and preliminary results or performance of the proposed device are then presented.","PeriodicalId":222751,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 5th International Conference on Smart Instrumentation, Measurement and Application (ICSIMA)","volume":"64 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":"114484908","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}

Although Malaysia peninsular is located near the equatorial, there is still a need to optimize the solar PV panels tilted angle since the horizontally located solar PV panels receive less solar radiation especially in the early morning and late afternoon when the incident angle is not perpendicular to the sun. Therefore a tilted angle optimization is necessary to harvest maximum solar radiation. In this paper, the functionality of developed prototype is tested and the product design is shown in details. The testing and development is done in Universiti Putra Malaysia. The developed software is purposely to optimize the azimuth and altitude angles in which the calculation is from solar noon on designated date and time. It is an open loop system based on mathematical formula and it predicts the sun movement. Therefore sensors are not required to sense the sun location. The developed prototype structure is based on steel and able to hold 1 kW solar PV panels. It has stable base in which the battery bank, charge controller and inverter are embedded inside it. It is designed to be retractable so that it can be loaded in pick-up truck to be carried to flood evacuation centre. The tilted angle for altitude is optimized automatically by the motor when the angle value is key in to the processor. The azimuth angle can be adjusted manually since it may reduce the power consumptions. The proposed portable solar generator has been designed to generated 3.6 kWh per day based on 1kW capacity. It can provide half of power requirement for scholl hall lighting which can power up 22 LED lights.","PeriodicalId":222751,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 5th International Conference on Smart Instrumentation, Measurement and Application (ICSIMA)","volume":"44 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":"122960816","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}
