The piezoelectric transformer output voltage is generated by the piezoelectric effect. This voltage is generated as a result of charge generation. When designing rectifier and filter circuits, it is necessary to take into account the different behaviour and properties compared to electromagnetic transformers. In this paper the problems with rectification of the piezoelectric voltage are described. The paper describes the rectifier and filter circuits usable for the piezoelectric transformers. The facts presented in the article are applicable for all systems where the piezoelectric voltage needs to be rectified e.g. piezoelectric energy harvesting.","PeriodicalId":330449,"journal":{"name":"2021 29th Telecommunications Forum (TELFOR)","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117174989","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}

That is why the most common In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) consumer requirement is the support for user-attractive Android applications. However, many Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) have developed their automotive IVI domain based on Linux OS. A few years ago, Google started to develop Android Automotive as an Android-based solution for the automotive IVI domain. Because of competition, the automotive industry is looking for different ways of adding support for Android applications. But having Android applications in an already present Linux is not an easy task considering the amount of effort put in establishing noticeable UI/UX features. This paper gives an overview of two software-based virtualization solutions for adding support for Android applications on an already running Linux IVI domain. The solutions are hypervisor technology, already used in production, and container technology, a relatively new approach in the automotive. Both solutions are deployed on the same automotive-grade platform to preserve the same test conditions. The memory consumption is evaluated between a specific hypervisor and container runtime solution. The paper concludes that it is better to use container technology to add Android support to systems where memory usage by several Android applications is not known in advance.","PeriodicalId":330449,"journal":{"name":"2021 29th Telecommunications Forum (TELFOR)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123542126","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 estimation of the measurement error of the permittivity for a sample with known parameters is carried out. The reference permittivity is measured with the resonance method. It is shown that after the influence of an external chemically aggressive environment on the material, a change in its electrodynamic parameters is observed. The measured material has a permittivity close to the reference sample. The resulting change in the dielectric constant exceeds the calculated value of the error, which allows us to conclude about the accuracy of the measurements.","PeriodicalId":330449,"journal":{"name":"2021 29th Telecommunications Forum (TELFOR)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126929053","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}

SFC architecture uses network traffic classification for steering network traffic through SF path. Architecture does establish overall requirements for classification but is unable to dynamically discover SF paths. Therefore, we propose a reactive SF path discovery method. Reactive SF path discovery gains an advantage over proactive discovery by use of reclassification for unknown network traffic. We examined our method in a Software Defined Network (SDN) emulation in Mininet emulator with RYU SDN controller. The result of this study is a comparison between proactive and reactive SF path discovery, which shows that our SF path discovery method has higher probability of successful SF path discovery.","PeriodicalId":330449,"journal":{"name":"2021 29th Telecommunications Forum (TELFOR)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124656234","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}
