The most difficult challenge that an AD patient faces is forgetting people’s names. The study aims to assist AD patients with a moderate stage by designing a smart glass to identify a person. Basically, it depends on face recognition technology. The glass allows you to track the patient in case of aimless wandering, in addition to talking with the patient. The design was implemented by dividing the system into hardware and software. The hardware consists of the Raspberry Pi 4, Pi camera, ultrasonic sensor, and GPS module. Python coded the software to run a Viola-Jones-based face recognition algorithm. A Local Binary Pattern was used to extract features based on machine learning principles. The Support vector machine (SVM) and the K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN) were employed as classifiers. A mobile application named “Forget Me Not” was developed to support the patient and the caregiver as well. Results demonstrated satisfaction with the design through capturing one thousand images of 250 people and training the system. Classification accuracy of 84.45% and 93.36% for the SVM and K-NN, respectively, was achieved. Furthermore, the mobile application facilitates the usage of glass. Thus, the study presents an assistance tool for AD patients to coexist with society.","PeriodicalId":326002,"journal":{"name":"2022 10th International Japan-Africa Conference on Electronics, Communications, and Computations (JAC-ECC)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123082771","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 resonator’s transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) are both utilized for the stimulation. The design operates at 0.685 GHz at a transmission distance of 20 mm with a size of (18 mm × 18 mm). The size of the resonator is greatly reduced by considering a high dielectric constant. From literature, it is found that this proposed WPT system design is the smallest in comparison to a similar type of resonator and it achieves strong power transmission efficiency. The coupled resonators are optimized and loaded with defected ground structure (DGS) and integrated with a lumped capacitor. This proposed WPT system can be minimized to a small size, in addition to increasing the transmission distances and improved efficiency. Results indicate that the maximum lg average SAR level is about 1.22 W/kg in agreement with IEEE standard C95.1-1999 for maintaining standard SAR levels. This increases the overall performance efficiency of the WPT system. Also, the WPT system using DGS attains a power transfer efficiency of 98 %. There is a good agreement between the simulated, theoretical, and measured results that have been obtained. All the simulations of the circle-shaped DGS resonator and resonator systems are done in computer software technology (CST) and advanced digital system (ADS).","PeriodicalId":326002,"journal":{"name":"2022 10th International Japan-Africa Conference on Electronics, Communications, and Computations (JAC-ECC)","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115760176","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}

Although significant advancements have been made in the realm of non-EEG wearable devices, there is still much room for improvement in the field of EEG-based seizure detection and prediction using ML.

The suggested study intends to design and implement a support vector machine (SVM) classification-based epileptic seizure detection system based on various wearable devices. The proposed technique for detecting seizures accomplishes According to data for seizure detection, our system consistently achieves a sensitivity of 100% and an accuracy of 97%. High level MATLAB model creation is part of the design cycle. Despite the fact that high performance cannot be achieved with just one signal. Although a high performance detection system cannot achieve the requisite sensitivity and accuracy with a single signal, we presented various combining techniques. RTL modelling, design optimization, FPGA implementation, and functional verification are all included in the implementation cycle. The capacity of the FPGA’s partial dynamic reconfiguration is suggested for implementation in order to make better use of the available resources.

Focused microwave hyperthermia is a technique for treating breast tumors that has the advantages of great precision and few side effects. Breast hyperthermia is a noninvasive cancer treatment in which the temperature of the breast is slightly raised to 39- 45° C by localized electromagnetic irradiation. Traditional hyperthermia techniques envisioned treating single or at most two spherical breast malignant foci with large-scale antenna arrays that required intricate feeding and phase management. This paper proposes a hyperthermia noninvasive multifocal breast cancer treatment using a single multi-beam meta-surface antenna. The proposed method raises the temperature of multifocal irregularly shaped breast cancers while keeping the surrounding healthy tissues at body temperature. Besides, the proposed meta-surface antenna is more efficient where its gain is three times the conventional ones at 2.3 GHz. Instead of employing an antenna array with a complex control unit for each antenna, the proposed antenna will have a single feed and workable control. Although the proposed single antenna element is miniaturized in its size to 65% at 2.4 GHz, the proposal keeps the same number of beams and radiation output. As a result, it will be easy to modify the radiated beams by the sites of the multifocal malignancy. To maintain the temperature of healthy tissues, a new reconfiguration technique for a 3D distribution of antenna beams is developed.","PeriodicalId":326002,"journal":{"name":"2022 10th International Japan-Africa Conference on Electronics, Communications, and Computations (JAC-ECC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131330493","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}
