This is due to the fact the MOS/BJT transistor is a four/three-terminal device with a large number of specifying parameters. In order to simplify the analysis, the four/three-terminal complicated MOS/BJT transistor can be replaced by a two-terminal fictitious resistor with a proper resistance. In this paper, a procedure is described to find a formula for the equivalent resistance of the MOS or the BJT transistor, and thus simplifying the analysis of such circuits considerably. Also, the procedure is applied to circuits containing a single transistor and to circuits containing series and parallel connections of transistors in order to estimate the propagation delays.

It uses a custom receiver chain and narrowband bandpass filters. The broadband magnetic resonance (MR) signal is spectrally separated into multiple narrowband channels. Then each channel signal is processed individually and the system recombines the frequency-limited narrowband signals from the separate channels to reconstruct images or signal profiles. The final image is reconstructed by recombining all the channels data via weighted addition, where the weights correspond to the frequency responses of each narrowband filter. Results were obtained using a clinical MRI system and the images acquired by the developed embedded system showed the feasibility of achieving images with signal-to-noise ratio comparable to those produced by the clinical system.","PeriodicalId":247318,"journal":{"name":"2016 5th International Conference on Electronic Devices, Systems and Applications (ICEDSA)","volume":"11 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":"128732193","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}

Correct and early diagnosis is an extremely important step in rehabilitation and treatment. However, it is not an easy one due to several uncertainties in detection using mammograms. Machine Learning (ML) techniques can be used to develop tools for physicians that can be used as an effective mechanism for early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer which will greatly enhance the survival rate of patients. This paper compares three of the most popular ML techniques commonly used for breast cancer detection and diagnosis, namely Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF) and Bayesian Networks (BN). The Wisconsin original breast cancer data set was used as a training set to evaluate and compare the performance of the three ML classifiers in terms of key parameters such as accuracy, recall, precision and area of ROC. The results obtained in this paper provide an overview of the state of art ML techniques for breast cancer detection.","PeriodicalId":247318,"journal":{"name":"2016 5th International Conference on Electronic Devices, Systems and Applications (ICEDSA)","volume":"20 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":"131324207","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 diversified sources of power generation can cause many Power Quality (PQ) problems. The need to monitor these changes is becoming paramount. The different level of voltage levels is also becoming a major area of interest. As the photovoltaic (PV) system consists of many parts they produce PQ disturbances coming from many sources. The power inverters and converters can inject harmonics into the system and grid. These disturbances have to be monitored so electrical equipment could be designed to improve the Power Quality (PQ) at the grid, and at the consumer level. The paper presents the results of monitoring of PQ disturbances at the consumer level that uses a hybrid power source (PV module) and utility power grid.","PeriodicalId":247318,"journal":{"name":"2016 5th International Conference on Electronic Devices, Systems and Applications (ICEDSA)","volume":"22 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":"126809344","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 a wire-loaded substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) structure that supports the energy-tunneling phenomenon. As anticipated, the proposed model supports energy tunneling depending upon the wire length. The resulting transmission response is, therefore, highly frequency selective. Hence, such configurations can be employed to design highly sensitive dielectric sensors and high frequency filters.","PeriodicalId":247318,"journal":{"name":"2016 5th International Conference on Electronic Devices, Systems and Applications (ICEDSA)","volume":"101 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":"126829665","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}
