It consists of two main phases: training and testing. In the training phase, the signal is segmented into non-overlapping 10-second segments, with five histograms estimated for each segment. These histograms have multiple bins that are studied individually as random variables. Based on the histograms of these random variables for different signal activities and on predefined detection and false alarm probability thresholds, bin(s) are selected form certain channel distributions for seizure detection. In selecting the training hours, a leave-one-out cross-validation strategy is adopted. In the testing phase, those channel(s)-histogram(s)-bin(s) are used to classify each segment as ictal or non-ictal. This sequence is filtered with a moving average filter and compared to a patient-specific detection threshold. This method was evaluated using 309.9 h of sEEG including 26 seizures of five patients. It achieved an average sensitivity of 97.14% and an average specificity of 98.58%.","PeriodicalId":247318,"journal":{"name":"2016 5th International Conference on Electronic Devices, Systems and Applications (ICEDSA)","volume":"34 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":"127296748","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 intermittent nature of energy generation from such sources creates challenges to the electricity grid. Advanced intelligent transformers will be needed to achieve proper operation of the future smart grids besides enhancing power quality and securing energy supply to critical loads. These transformers must be able to provide intelligent power management as well as subsidiary services. This paper proposes a transformer-less based solid state transformer (TL-SST). The TL-SST performs better than the traditional auto-transformer used in the industrial application. It has several advantages over the traditional one, as it enhances power quality compatibility between the grid and the loads or vice-versa. The TL-SST is able to provide ride through capabilities, which can isolate short term disturbances from the grid to loads and vice-versa. This paper describes the operating principle and control of the proposed TL-SST. The power quality enhancement features will be validated under various grid and load conditions using computer simulation.","PeriodicalId":247318,"journal":{"name":"2016 5th International Conference on Electronic Devices, Systems and Applications (ICEDSA)","volume":"38 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":"129526941","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}

Both systems consist of a set of electrodes that excite the inner section of the probe with a time-variant voltage. In the case of ECT, a difference in capacitance is measured based on the objects flowing through the pipe. In the case of the ECAT system, a second set of electrodes are evenly distributed across the full section of the probe in order to induce electric charges across the pipe that are measured instantaneously and simultaneously. Simulation results indicate that the suggested system provides more accurate images compared to the one generated by the Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) system, where in some cases, the average error difference between the image obtained from ECAT system to the original image can be about 4.122% compared to the average error of 8.4% from the ECT system. The fact that the measurement of the electrical charges can be achieved much faster than the capacitance measurements used in ECT systems makes the technique attractive for next generation tomography systems targeting real-time applications.","PeriodicalId":247318,"journal":{"name":"2016 5th International Conference on Electronic Devices, Systems and Applications (ICEDSA)","volume":"21 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":"126618151","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 presents the performance of Active Force Control (AFC) system for suppressing human hand tremor in Parkinson's disease. This work endeavours to find the best combination of controllers and actuators in AFC systems to decay hand tremor. A human hand is modelled as a 4-Degree-of-Freedom biodynamic model and the mathematical equation for this model is derived. The model is excited by an external force to investigate the hand output using a control system. A comparison between three kinds of actuators for controlling the behaviour of the classic proportional-derivative controller to suppress the hand tremor is presented within the AFC control system. Results show that the AFC system with a piezoelectric actuator and a proportional-derivative (PD) controller is quite effective in suppressing the human hand tremor.","PeriodicalId":247318,"journal":{"name":"2016 5th International Conference on Electronic Devices, Systems and Applications (ICEDSA)","volume":"1 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":"128199853","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}

Features are extracted from each signal segment through projection on a CSP projection matrix. The extracted features are used for training a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier, which is then employed in the testing phase. A leave-one-out cross validation strategy is adopted in the experiments. The proposed approach was evaluated using 443.55 hours of sEEG including 39 seizures. The experimental results reveal that a patient-specific CSP-based algorithm is capable of detecting epileptic seizures with high accuracy.
