Because of great number of deployed devices, power management of deeply embedded systems is an emerging aspect of their operation. The most actual power management techniques are hardware-centric and do not take run-time workload execution properties into account. We propose a novel power aware scheduling strategy for deeply embedded systems. Task-based power profiling is used to generate task power model utilized for power-aware or energy-aware task scheduling. The proposed concept dynamically changes the scheduling parameters of best-effort tasks to fit optimization goal while maintaining system hard real-time requirements. Concept is application design agnostic and can be easily integrated as a power management service available under real-time operating system support.","PeriodicalId":307604,"journal":{"name":"2017 Zooming Innovation in Consumer Electronics International Conference (ZINC)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115013985","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}

These electrical impulses may be relevant when examining the material properties. Although the device used for electrical discharge machining doesn't have the possibility for this acquisition, choosing the predefined processing condition predicts arithmetic mean of electrical impulses, and that is the reason to expect a certain roughness of the processed material. Upgrading the acquisition system to the existing device enables continuous recording of impulses during processing. The measuring device consists of a sensor that works on the Hall element principle, a microcontroller which collects and sends data and the software on the PC that performs data acquisition. Maximum detection speed of electrical impulses of the measuring device is 1 Msps, in the 10-bit resolution, and the amplitude of the electrical impulse is 30 A. The sensitivity of the electrical sensor is 66 mV/A.","PeriodicalId":307604,"journal":{"name":"2017 Zooming Innovation in Consumer Electronics International Conference (ZINC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131065766","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}

By sending periodic packet bursts to bottleneck routers, Low-Rate Denial-of-Service (LDoS) attacks can degrade the throughput of TCP applications while being hard to be detected. In this paper, we introduce Power Spectrum Density Entropy (PSD-entropy) to detect LDoS attacks. We also propose a Fourier transform based Robust RED (FRRED) queuing algorithm to preserve TCP throughput when faced with LDoS attacks. This novel Active Queue Management (AQM) Algorithm firstly detects the suspicious attack packets based on their arrival time and then filter the attack packets based on Power Spectrum Density (PSD) entropy. We perform extensive simulations in NS-3 to evaluate the performance of FRRED. Compared to other AQM algorithms, FRRED has the lowest False Positive Rate and can preserve nearly the full TCP throughput.","PeriodicalId":307604,"journal":{"name":"2017 Zooming Innovation in Consumer Electronics International Conference (ZINC)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114136932","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 a second study, the users were asked to apply these force levels while following a line on the screen.

The current paper proposes a training strategy for a sensory substitution device in order to improve the ability of visually impaired people to be autonomous, thus to increase the quality of their lives. The core of the strategy is a highly interactive virtual training environment, composed of 3D scenes simulating both realistic and imaginary settings. The training is based on gamification principles, as the virtual environment is designed as a highly immersive serious game, with essential elements such as quests, rewards or increasing complexity of tasks which can maintain its users motivated and help them acquire useful day-to-day life skills. Also, a series of mini-games are available in the training environment, as repetitive actions can facilitate the improvement of specific skills. By using appropriate hardware equipment, the virtual training environment can be rendered to the visually impaired users through acoustic and haptic means.
