Clusters overlap within each other just as in the case of social networking groups, or grouping movies by genre. In this paper, hierarchical form of clustering is used to cluster user based on interaction which creates numerous clusters with different sizes at different hierarchical level. In doing so, many overlapping clusters are generated but duplicates are not removed. Duplicity possesses a challenge for differentiation. Our work here is two fold. Firstly, to cluster users with different hierarchical levels to generate sets of clusters by level and secondly, to find among the different cluster sets the optimal one by simply using mean and standard deviation. The sense of optimality is different for different requirements. Our work shows that we can have a choice of picking the optimal set by requirement.","PeriodicalId":246458,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Region 10 Conference (TENCON)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123327413","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 typical monitoring circuits, multiple EDLCs are connected in series and the circuits are connected to a power supply. In contrast, the proposed circuits uses a self-oscillation technique, and its voltage is supplied by the EDLC, greatly simplifying the circuit structure. In particular, the circuit comprises only 15 electrical components and self-oscillates without a dead-time control circuit. Moreover, the circuit prevents the flow of the short-circuit current into the drains of the FETs. which causes overcurrent circuit damage. Further, the circuit can be constructed into a module of two serially connected EDLCs. The characteristics and usability of the proposed circuit are evaluated in a simulation and experiment.","PeriodicalId":246458,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Region 10 Conference (TENCON)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126599107","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}

Due to these adverse environmental conditions sensor nodes can behave as dumb. Dumb nature is a temporary misbehavior of a sensor node caused by the temporal nature of adverse environmental conditions. In this paper, we present a Self Detection and Healing (SDH) mechanism to overcome the existence of such misbehaving nodes. Self detection mechanism brings environmental awareness to the nodes. Whereas, Self healing infers and applies the most suitable transmission parameters under the above said environmental conditions. Performance analysis shows that self detection mechanism can work with more than 80% accuracy in all test cases. On the other hand, self healing can increase 67% network throughput by overcoming the existence of dumb nodes. Self detection and healing is also an energy efficient solution. It consumes 25% less power than the distributed approach of dumb node detection.","PeriodicalId":246458,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Region 10 Conference (TENCON)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126861995","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}

Consequently, accurate prediction of duration of these incidents is considered as one of the most important challenges by traffic management authorities. Although data-driven regression methods can predict the duration of these incidents with reasonable precision. However, the prediction performance may vary considerably from one to another. Hence, it is important to provide some measure of confidence associated with the forecast duration of the incidents. Such measures can prove to be highly useful in planning real-time response. To address this issue, we propose Bayesian Support Vector Regression (BSVR), which gives error bars as the measurement of uncertainty along with the predicted duration of incidents. We also evaluate sensitivity and specificity for different error tolerance limit to assess the performance of BSVR.","PeriodicalId":246458,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Region 10 Conference (TENCON)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115580262","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 advantages of the B2B-SMC over flying capacitor multilevel converter (FCC) and stacked multicell converter (SMC) are increased number of levels in the output voltage, low voltage total harmonic distortion (THD), lower switching losses, and reduced filter requirement. The B2B-SMC consists of two conventional stacked multicell converter (SMC), which are connected back-to-back using two low-switching frequency switches.

Current trends in VR, however, are focused on the gaming industry with limited work on VR creation tools. Thus, we propose a VR application that allows users to create 3-dimensional scenes in virtual reality named Genesys. Scenes created are viewed with the use of VR head mounted displays which provide the user with a more immersive work environment compared to traditional 2D monitors. Interactions within this workspace are done through motion controllers that allow users to manipulate with objects and spawn more from an online repository. Scenes created can be shared to the Genesys community of artists, creators and users through an online website. This feature widens the project's applications in education, business, and entertainment as a world builder and presentation tool. To measure the effectiveness of the application, a scene composition test was conducted at the end of the experiment. The results showed that Genesys is generally easy to use for people with limited experience in VR. However, improvements can still be made on the object manipulation controls such as rotation and scaling.","PeriodicalId":246458,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Region 10 Conference (TENCON)","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122975836","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 paper proposes to use two separate current control loops on the Machine Side Converter to supply additional active power during system frequency distortions and to reduce the transients in stator voltage after clearing the system voltage dips. In so far we have proposed the design of a current controller on the Grid Side Converter (GSC) to bring the system voltage level to the desired level during the system voltage sag condition.
