Using numerical and computer programming, this paper studied the micro-fluid flow in organ-on-a-chip microfluidic systems considering factors such as flow pattern, optimal flow rate and flow uniformity. For the purposes of this paper, micro-fluidic channels with a circular cross section were chosen due to its low fabrication complexity. MATLAB computer code was developed to investigate how the flow rate Q would change based on a variety of factors through both an iteration analysis using continuity equation and modified Bernoulli equation, and the Hardy-cross method which is an alternate iterative method. Ultimately, we found that flow rate Q had a quadratic relationship to length/diameter of the channel in both iterative methods.","PeriodicalId":269697,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International IOT, Electronics and Mechatronics Conference (IEMTRONICS)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127723028","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}

With these considerations, we introduce a new CPU design that features Adaptive Overlapping Multitasking pipelines, to better balance the design tradeoffs of the traditional scalar and superscalar CPUs. By providing dynamic reconfigurability, we enable user applications to decide at run-time whether to run the CPU in a high-performance or a low-power mode, to meet their respective application deadlines or power budgets. The low-power mode also provides redundancies that allow the CPU to continue operating, even when some of its pipeline stages are damaged. We used the RISC-V ISA test suite, Dhrystone, Coremark, and ten other benchmarks to validate our CPU design's functionality and performance. Our CPU can consistently deliver up to 2.0 Instruction Per Cycle and score a 3.924 DMIPS/MHz and 6.556 Coremark/MHz with Dhrystone and Coremark benchmarks.","PeriodicalId":269697,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International IOT, Electronics and Mechatronics Conference (IEMTRONICS)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134639790","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 detailed numerical study is being accomplished in this work. Initially, the sensitivity of higher-order cladding modes is evaluated with a dedicated multi-layer numerical model of FBG. Subsequently, thin nanoparticles of gold are being considered over the surface of FBG. A Four-layer model is employed for the computation of sensitivity of cladding modes of FBG. Almost a ‘2.5’ fold enhancement of sensitivity is found with the utilization of gold nanoparticles.

However, safety guarantee of these technologies is the most critical problem to deal with because of its direct relation with human life. On one hand, we can find fewer works than the former, regarding the jointly study of the situations related to both AV and V2X. On the other hand, at our best of knowledge, there is no work investigating reliability in the transition phase when just a few of the Connected Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) are part of the traffic road. In this paper we explore this research gap, by analyzing and evaluating reliability of various CAV densities in the special case of four road intersection and for low traffic density. The results show that the convergence speed of reliability functions series to the reliability function of the system when only CAV populate the roads are not constant. This leads to the need of establishing solutions for the transitional phase to accompany the penetration process of the CAV in the automotive market.","PeriodicalId":269697,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International IOT, Electronics and Mechatronics Conference (IEMTRONICS)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114670565","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 building operator owns few edge servers and must execute the delay sensitive computing requests generated in the building. The edge servers are powered by the grid and solar panels. Different from the traditional vehicular fog computing models where only computing services are provided by the electric vehicles, in the proposed model, the parked vehicle can also provide on-demand storage service or supply energy as a source. The building operator compensates the electric vehicles according to one of the services they offered during their parking. Compared to the price of electricity, the incentives paid to the electric vehicles for their service are assumed to be cheaper. The objective of the cooperative model is to minimize the power consumption costs of the edge servers operated by the building operator and the sum incentives paid to the parked electric vehicles for their service. The proposed cooperative model is formulated as a mixed integer program which can be solved by branch and bound solvers. Simulation results show the benefits of such cooperation to both the building operator and the parked electric vehicles under different scenarios.","PeriodicalId":269697,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International IOT, Electronics and Mechatronics Conference (IEMTRONICS)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115459016","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}
