It degrades the network’s performance in various operating variables such as throughput, latency, energy consumption, packet loss, lifetime of the network and etc. Congestion occurs in WSN when the rate of sensor data flow outreach the channel or buffer capacity. The congestion is controlled in two ways in WSN, such as controlling network traffic or efficiently managing the resources. This paper performs the resource control mechanism by providing the alternative path towards to base station using a Q-learning for congestion alleviation. This congestion-aware data acquisition (CADA) mechanism initially identifies the congestion node (CN) where the nodes buffer occupancy ratio is higher. Further, we recognize the proper next node to construct the dynamic alternative route to the base station. The CADA is evaluated in various network conditions by comparing it with recent congestion-aware algorithms. The simulation tests show that the CADA efficiently ameliorates the congestion and enhances the performance across multiple performance metrics.","PeriodicalId":269697,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International IOT, Electronics and Mechatronics Conference (IEMTRONICS)","volume":"11 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":"128637367","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 new method is proposed to alleviate transmission line overloads, created by the outage of a single transmission line. An overloaded transmission line may trip, causing power to be redistributed to other transmission lines, which may get overloaded themselves. This may lead to cascading outages, destabilization, and blackouts. The proposed new method uses the PSS®E to shed load from specific buses and to reduces power output of specific generators. The method was applied to the IEEE 39-bus power system using additional softwares Python, and Excel. All 34 transmission lines were disconnected individually and transmission lines were monitored for overcurrents. The proposed method for reducing loads and generation was found to successfully remove overloads of transmission lines, ensuring stability and continuity of power. The method was found to be effective for power system protection. The method may not be optimal, but may be practical for implementation.","PeriodicalId":269697,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International IOT, Electronics and Mechatronics Conference (IEMTRONICS)","volume":"1 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":"129573855","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}

IoT principally connects different physical objects (e.g., sensors) and enables them to communicate, collect, and share data. In the Era of IoT, Recommendation systems provide personalized recommendations based on the user's historical datasets collected from the IoT devices. These recommendations enable an efficient decision-making process by suggesting relevant products, resources, and information.

From the simulation results, it can be observed that P&O is much affected with slow tracking and oscillations, and IC MPPT performs better than P&O in terms of tracking, but not for ripples. Simulation results verifies that RCC MPPT is capable of solving both these problems effectively and RCC performance is better than both P&O and IC MPPT methods.","PeriodicalId":269697,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International IOT, Electronics and Mechatronics Conference (IEMTRONICS)","volume":"55 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":"129731889","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, heat relief for the child is researched using a thermoelectric cooling system. This paper reviews various factors concerning the development of a temperature-controlled infant car seat. This study focuses on the health and safety of children inside the cars, the subjective needs of the parent, heat management in the car cabin environment, thermoelectric modeling, and the methods for precise temperature control for effective thermoelectric cooling. In-depth research has been conducted on the contributions of other researchers on the thermoelectric cooling system in a car.

In this paper, a new nonlinear estimation method known as the extended sliding innovation filter is presented and applied on a magnetorheological suspension system.

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.
