The design automation has become an essential part of the design team to enable design completion and verification. Responsibility of a design automation engineer includes setup, customization, integration of design tools (EDA, and non EDA). In Africa, the higher education of the microelectronics focuses mainly on the instruction of chip/circuit design. Virtually little or no emphasis is applied to grow design automation skill sets of their graduates. This paper discusses the potential of African educational institutes of becoming the supplier of qualified design automation engineers for future African IC industry and/or worldwide VLSI job market. This paper will propose that African universities should start emphasizing more on design automation to increase number of graduates in the Design automation field. The benefit of such effort will enable African graduates to exploit the microelectronics job market and eventually help encourage industry to be established within Africa for growth opportunities.","PeriodicalId":256793,"journal":{"name":"2013 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING, ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (ICCEEE)","volume":"40 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":"121169214","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 key to searching service inventories is to find ways to represent them in a way that can be exploited by one of the standard methods like Google type search. In our work we introduce a review of ontology and mechanisms used there.

The major technical challenge is to design the individual weight measuring point without using load cell or pressure sensor, since it increases cost of the equipment. This system involves optical based weight measurement. As an additional feature, it measures the severity of loss of sensation in the foot through a Vibro-tactile threshold sensation technique. This technique help assess the degree of loss of sensation in the foot for a diabetes patient. our project involves two foot plates in which one is designed with seven LED-LDR setup and the other a dummy. Depending on the weight of the person, the intensity of light falling on the LDR from the LED varies.

Therefore, it is necessary to have proper methods to determine the cardiac condition of the patient. ECG signals of the heart being a self-similar object; can well be considered for fractal analysis. In this paper the Fractal Dimension method was used to distinguish and analyze three specific heart diseases namely Premature Atrial Contraction (PAC), Premature Ventricular Contraction (PVC), and Atrial Fibrillation from the normal ECG signal. The ECG signals used were taken from three databases, the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database, the MIT-BIH Normal Sinus Rhythm Database, and the Intracardiac Atrial Fibrillation Database. Rescaled range method was used to determine the specific range of fractal dimension for each disease. The obtained range of fractal dimension for a healthy person was 1.73-1.81, for PVC patients was 1.34-1.44, for PAC patients was 1.49-1.69 and for Atrial Fibrillation patients was 1.11-1.30. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) was designed using MATLAB program to calculate the Fractal Dimension, to distinguish between the ECG signals of a healthy person and patients with the three specific heart diseases from the raw ECG data. The results showed that the methodological analysis does provide a significant clinical advantage, and matches the doctor's opinion.","PeriodicalId":256793,"journal":{"name":"2013 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING, ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (ICCEEE)","volume":"17 8 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":"126934497","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}

A supervised two-layer feed-forward network, with sigmoid hidden neurons and output neurons is used to produce the prediction model. Back propagation learning algorithm was used for the network. Furthermore three different training algorithms were used to train the neural networks. The neural networks are trained using real world credit application cases from the German bank datasets which has 1000 cases; each case with 24 numerical attributes; upon which the decision is based. The aim of this paper was to compare between the resulting models produced from using different training algorithms, scaled conjugate gradient backpropagation, Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm and One-step secant backpropagation (SCG, LM and OSS). This study show that although there is no great difference between LM and SCG but still LM gives better results.
