The free space estimation is based on surface normal analysis. Surface normal represents the orientation of a region. Naturally, a traversable area is the surface which facing upward in 3D environment or forming a slope with limited angle. Several neighboring area which has similar surface normal orientation are merged together by connected component region labeling. Finally, the regions that considered as free space area are decided by examining its size and orientation in 3D environment. The method in this paper is evaluated using KITTI stereo vision dataset. A robust global solution for free space in road surface is obtained. In a close range examination, this method can distinguish the road surface and pedestrian area which naturally has similar characteristic as free space area.","PeriodicalId":240337,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology (ICIT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130485422","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 proposed inverter inherits all advantages of the classical Z-source inverter (ZSI), and has the stronger voltage boost inversion ability compared with the ZSI. Thus, the output voltage quality is significantly improved. The proposed inverter is analyzed, and its performances are compared with those of the classical ZSI.

Moreover, the reversible power sources can charge each other respectively. According to various situations, the operational states of the proposed converter can be divided into four states including a single-input step-up state, a dual-input step-up state, a dual-output step-down state, and a dual power source step-up/step-down state. In addition, the inductors in the proposed converter are designed to operate in synchronous conduction mode (SCM) for achieving turn-on zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) of all switches.

Although the market for wireless charging in Watts to tens of Watts is growing rapidly, the performance of such wireless charging products is still inferior when compared to those utilizing traditional charging, especially when the resonant frequencies are not well matched. Another prominent issue of wireless charging system is that the efficiency and power transfer capability for the input equivalent AC source would drop due to the variation of the passive components. Traditional tuning approaches are used only in secondary side, which would not solve the whole system problem. This paper presents a novel active tuning approach for series-series compensated wireless charging system. In this paper, a detailed solution for both sides of wireless charging system is presented: firstly a maximum reflected impedance checking method is used to check the resonant frequency of the secondary side of the system; and then a variable series compensated capacitor is used on the primary side to guide the primary circuit to track the secondary resonant frequency. In this case, the resonant frequencies of both sides would be well matched. The validity of the approach is verified through simulations of a simplified wireless charging system based on inductive power transfer.","PeriodicalId":240337,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology (ICIT)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132968886","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}

Nevertheless, transmission over wireless channels in industrial environments is prone to interference, resulting in frequent erroneous packet deliveries. Existing IWSN standards based on the IEEE 802.15.4 specification only prescribe Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) for packet retransmission, without providing any means for error recovery, which leads to unexpected transmission delay. Forward Error Correction (FEC) code as an alternative approach is able to effectively improve reliability and reduce the number of retransmissions. However, FEC computation requires extra memory and processing time. In this paper, we discuss the timing constraints of employing FEC codes for IWSNs according to the IWSN standards. Then we benchmark a number of different FEC codes in a typical wireless sensor node in terms of memory consumption and processing time. Our results show that LDPC and Turbo code, as the state of the art FEC codes, fail to fulfill the requirement from the IWSN standards while other FEC candidates, such as RS code, are proven to be suitable for the practical implementation in IWSNs.","PeriodicalId":240337,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology (ICIT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115103541","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}

Assuming a 3 layer thin film of medium1-medium2-medium3 with different refraction indices of n1, n2 and n3, respectively, the theoretical analyses prove that FTIR or OT(ordinary transmission) phenomenon may happen when the light goes through medium2 from medium1 to medium3, relying on the relative difference in n1 and n2. Namely, FTIR happens at n2=1 (air) and a given incident angle (≥critical angle) whereas the OT appears at n2=1.3 (water). In parallel, the experimental investigations, being phenomenological, also turn out to support the theoretical ones for the above assumption. From these results, one can understand the origins of some wrong operations due to the insensitive touch as well as the coffee drop on screen and the hot source on the other side of the touch plate. Moreover, further discussion regarding how to improve the touch performance is made on the basis of this work.","PeriodicalId":240337,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology (ICIT)","volume":"15 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116909468","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}
