A complementary square open loop resonator, having the resonance frequency at the upper 3 dB frequency of the patch resonance, is introduced on the patch to enhance the bandwidth more than twice that of the conventional square patch antenna operating at the same frequency. The concept of introducing a resonant slot at 3 dB frequency helps to eliminate the cross-polarized component seen in most of the classical designs due to the presence of resonance slots. Simulation results show that 2:1 VSWR bandwidth of the antenna is 7% whereas the conventional square patch antenna offers only 3% bandwidth. The proposed antenna has a compact size of 1.9 cm × 2 cm. It offers a uniform gain of 4.25 dB and a directivity of 6.1 dB at the frequency of operation.","PeriodicalId":247318,"journal":{"name":"2016 5th International Conference on Electronic Devices, Systems and Applications (ICEDSA)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116895121","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, we propose to design and assess a Halbach array targeting NMR application for a flowing multiphase flow process passing through a 2″ pipeline. The design methodology is based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, combined with a three dimensional (3D) finite element method-based software. The aim of the design is to generate simultaneously a concentric, uniform, and high intensity magnetic field inside the target sensing area in order to provide the most accurate results, while using a cheap and reasonably light weight hardware. Results of extensive 3D simulation results using an array of 12 permanent magnet elements of size (20mm × 20mm × 50mm size) indicate that an optimized magnetic field distribution of 0.9 Tesla maximal intensity and 606 ppm homogeneity could be achieved for an area of 40 mm diameter, which is adequate for our application.","PeriodicalId":247318,"journal":{"name":"2016 5th International Conference on Electronic Devices, Systems and Applications (ICEDSA)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129362263","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}

There are several constraints in designing such systems. The three important constraints are energy consumption, data compression and device cost. Compressive Sensing (CS) is an emerging data compression technique that overcomes those constraints. Nevertheless, the non-sparsity of physiological signals presents a major issue to the existing compressive sensing algorithms. This research proposes to use a developed compressive sensing algorithm which has the ability to recover such non-sparse physiological signals. This algorithm is Block Sparse Bayesian Learning (BSBL). The proposed algorithm and the conventional CS algorithm were used to compress Fetal ECG (FECG) signals.

Feature identification and selection has two approaches. The common approach is engineering handcraft which is based on user experience and application area. While the other approach is feature learning that based on making the system identify and select the best features suit the application. The idea behind feature learning is to avoid dealing with any feature extraction or reduction algorithms and to train the suggested model on learning with avoiding the exposure to feature extraction which is mainly based on researcher experience. In this paper, Independent component analysis (ICA) will be implemented as a feature learning technique to learn the model extract the features from the input data. Deep learning approach will be proposed by implementing ICA to learn features. In the proposed model, the raw data will be read then represented by using different signal representation as Spectrogram, Wavelet and Wavelet Packet. Then, the new represented data will be fed to Independent component analysis layer to generate features and finally, the performance of the suggested scheme will be evaluated by applying different classifiers such as Support Vector Machine, Extreme Learning Machine and Discriminate Analysis. And As an improving step for the results, classifier fusion layer will be implemented to select the most accurate result for both training and testing set. Classifier fusion layer resulted in a promising training and testing accuracies. On the other side, Feature Selection is the process of selecting subset of features from a pool of features.","PeriodicalId":247318,"journal":{"name":"2016 5th International Conference on Electronic Devices, Systems and Applications (ICEDSA)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115094337","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 monthly estimated available power density is more important in Fem El Oued, so, the investment in terms of increasing the number of wind turbines in this park can be profitable.

Existing literature on k — coverage does not consider residual energy levels and actual battery discharge rate of ACTIVE nodes. OBSP (Optimized Backoff Sleep Protocol) considers the residual energy level information and battery discharge rate but ignores the k-coverage degree. This paper proposes k-CGP (k-Coverage Guarantee Protocol) based on battery discharge curve using polynomial regression for different coverage degrees (k). k-CGP determines the optimal wakeup rate of sleeping nodes by computing Optimal Sleep Time derived from battery discharge curve using polynomial regression and Received Signal Strength Indicator for distance estimation. The coverage redundancy is computed by using equi-distance test. Due to this, a sufficient number of ACTIVE nodes could be maintained while achieving lesser energy consumption in the network. Simulation results show that k-CGP achieves higher energy savings and sensing area coverage as compared to PEAS.","PeriodicalId":247318,"journal":{"name":"2016 5th International Conference on Electronic Devices, Systems and Applications (ICEDSA)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125068087","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 performance, mainly quality and speed, of recovering a block sparse signal was analyzed. Results showed that the two algorithms performance is almost the same in terms of NMSE. However, BSBL-BO achieved better efficiency since the required recovery time was less than BSBL-EM. To further investigate the algorithms performance, they were deployed to recover a real world FECG segment. They achieved a satisfactory quality where the distortion is negligible and does not affect the clinical diagnosis. Nevertheless, using BSBL-BO is more suitable for wireless tele-monitoring based systems since it is more efficient.","PeriodicalId":247318,"journal":{"name":"2016 5th International Conference on Electronic Devices, Systems and Applications (ICEDSA)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129748317","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}
