This paper presents a novel, simple, fast and efficient algorithm for face recognition call Local Graph Theory (LGT). LGT features are derived from a general definition of texture of graph neighborhood. The experiments results on our face database images demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method. The new method can be stabilized more quickly and obtain higher correct rate. Finally, LGT can be easily applied in many real time fields, such as image processing, pattern recognition, medical image as preprocessing.","PeriodicalId":256793,"journal":{"name":"2013 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING, ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (ICCEEE)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126968890","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 experimental measurements show that the motor differential mode stray capacitances are functions of rotor position. The simulation results of the proposed differential mode circuits together with the experimental results show that the level of the differential mode noise currents is of significant value that can not be ignored. However, the flow of some of this differential mode current in the motor stator windings has small contribution of the torque ripple.","PeriodicalId":256793,"journal":{"name":"2013 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING, ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (ICCEEE)","volume":"09 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121128257","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 integration helps the vehicles have steady Internet connection through UMTS network and at the same time can communicate with other vehicles. However, the dead spot areas and unsuccessfully handoff processes due to the high speed of the vehicles can disrupt the implementation of this kind of architecture. In this paper, a new Simplified Gateway Selection (SGS) scheme for multihop relay in VANET-UMTS integration network is proposed. The main aim of this research is to enhance the integration between VANET and UMTS network, and extend the coverage in the area where there is no coverage, and reduce the amount of overhead, and reduce delay metrics, and increasing the packet delivery ratio, and also to reduce the dead spot in VANET-UMTS network. An enhanced version of HWMP is a combination of IEEE802.11p and IEEE802.11s for multihop vehicular communications is proposed. An integrated simulation environment combined of VanetMobiSim and NS2 is used to simulate and evaluate the proposed scheme. The simulations results show that, E-HWMP protocol performed better than Ad-hoc on demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol. Furthermore, E-HWMP is compared with other cluster-based gateway selection that used in the previous works; the result shows that our E-HWMP protocol outperforms the other cluster based gateway selections schemes in terms of connection delay, control packet overhead, packet delivery ratio and overall throughput.","PeriodicalId":256793,"journal":{"name":"2013 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING, ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (ICCEEE)","volume":"19 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132554994","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 CAN bus is considerably affected by the conducted electromagnetic interference, which is generated from many disturbances such as load dumb and ignition system noise. The EMI reduces the bus efficiency by introducing bit errors in the data frame. In this paper, the effect of the conducted EMI in automotives is comprehensively studied. Reed-Solomon encoding technique is proposed to combat the burst bit errors encountered in CAN. This solution is evaluated for different burst error lengths within the MATLAB environment, where the standard of 64-bit user message is used. Moreover, the influence of the position of the burst errors is explored. The obtained results showed considerable enhancement in the CAN bus performance when the RS code was integrated beside the automatic repeat request, which has been implemented within the CAN protocol. Implementing RS-20/CRC in the CAN bus system has corrected all the corrupted frames when burst errors occurred, specifically in the data block for burst lengths shorter than 11 bits. For the burst lengths greater than 11 bits, the RS-20/CRC scheme required up to 19% frame retransmissions. When implementing RS-40/CRC, all the frames were received correctly, i.e., 0% frame retransmissions were required by the CAN bus.","PeriodicalId":256793,"journal":{"name":"2013 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING, ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (ICCEEE)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128330314","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}

Recent studies have shown that the oil from Jatropha seeds can be used for the production of biodiesel that meets the EN and ASTM biodiesel specification standards. Biofuel produced from Jatropha curcas can be used in a variety of ways to meet Sudan's energy demand, particularly in the rural areas. Such usages range from fuel derived from Jatropha seeds or pelleted seedcake, small-scale equipment suited to rural cooperatives for expelling oil, affordable engines and gensets that run on pure vegetable oil. Use of all of these can be important in helping to stimulate rural and regional economies by creating jobs and keeping money within the region, regardless of whether the Jatropha is grown on an industrial scale or as small-scale plantings. The purpose of this paper therefore, is to detail the processes and the expected outcome for biofuel production at a commercial scale in Sudan from Jatropha curcas oil feedstock. The paper covers issues of policy development, sustainability and economics that need to be addressed by Sudan authorities while taking this path toward sustainable biofuel production. The major source of information for the paper was the development of the Roadmap for Sudan Biofuels Production, with the biodiesel component likely to be sourced principally from Jatropha oil.","PeriodicalId":256793,"journal":{"name":"2013 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING, ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (ICCEEE)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132241635","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}

Femtocell is connected through broadband backhual to the IEEE1588 to synchronize and manage the network. Due to limited/poor connectivity femtocell suffers by frequency misallignment and clock differencs. To overcome this problem MS-Assisted Receiver-Receiver Time Synchronization Strategy has been proposed. But this strategy is not fully covered in all situations if there has no Mobile Station for a long time in any of fBS network and make network overhead by generating the message flooding for a big adjacent network. However, in this paper, lightweight inter-cluster synchronization scheme is proposed which functions through intra-cluster and inter-cluster synchronization scheme and added between them as enhancement intermediate nodes selection if the Cluster Head cannot see neighbor CH and by using the Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol (HWMP) to select one intermediate node, and so we get the best path to access neighboring CH to update clocks and synchronize the clusters. The proposed scheme provides high scalability and works in a decentralized manner. The analytical results show that synchronization accuracy can be achieved up to 60% higher than MS-Assisted Receiver-Receiver time synchronization strategy for femtocells.","PeriodicalId":256793,"journal":{"name":"2013 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING, ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (ICCEEE)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134142573","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}
