The process itself has changed significantly from reading textbooks to viewing ebooks on electronic devices, asking questions on online discussion boards or watching video clips from other parts of the world. The change has come with a massive increase in the amount of information available. It is time-consuming for a student to obtain the exact item of class material wanted. We developed a search system that can store relevant class materials in its own database and give suggestions when a student needs them. The system is built as a chatbot in the LINE application, using the NLP algorithm, to interact between users and the system via Artificial Intelligence technology. The system was developed for two subjects in Electrical Engineering: Signals and Systems and Control Systems. It was able to correctly interpret the users’ requests with up to 80% accuracy. It can give suggestions of class materials based on rankings given by users’ scores. This search system makes self-learning less time consuming and may provide more encouragement to students.","PeriodicalId":340768,"journal":{"name":"2023 20th International Conference on Electrical Engineering/Electronics, Computer, Telecommunications and Information Technology (ECTI-CON)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128024864","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}

At present, most of railway signaling labs rely on physical models and devices which require large space and regular maintenance. Emerging of Virtual Reality (VR) offers more flexibility to many applications including education, training, and testing since its operations are based on software and visualization. Using VR allows installation, updating, adjustment and maintenance to be performed more easily and effectively with effective cost, time, and space requirement. This paper aims to develop a virtual reality lab for training in railway signaling and control. The VR lab of railway signaling simulation consists of two stations, trains, tracks, a virtual dashboard and signaling posts including point machines. All models used in this paper are created by Blender which is a free software tool for 3D modeling. The VR environment of the lab is created by Unity which is a software platform for VR development. The functions of all developed models are programed using C# language. The basic route setting and the usage of subsidiary signal e.g., call-on and shut signal are demonstrated in this paper. The test results ensure the capability of the developed VR lab for training the target groups including students, engineers, and train drivers.","PeriodicalId":340768,"journal":{"name":"2023 20th International Conference on Electrical Engineering/Electronics, Computer, Telecommunications and Information Technology (ECTI-CON)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129482667","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}

This causes the challenges in energy market for EVs in terms of electricity costs and technical effects on distribution systems. This paper proposes a centralized market platform managed by a distribution system operator (DSO) to determine the appropriate and appealing electricity costs for charging an EV without violating the power system’s limits: bus voltage level, line capacity, and transformer loading limits. To complete the operations of the centralized market platform, the EV power and the bidding price from each EV owner who wishes to participate in the centralized market platform are collected through a single auction. The electricity costs for charging an EV are calculated by taking into account the maximum EV power as determined by the DSO so that the power system’ limits are not violated. This paper modifies and employs a Thailand-typical 380-V distribution test system during off-peak and peak hours for the case study. The results show that during off-peak hours, the electricity costs for charging an EV range between 2.40 and 2.50 THB/kWh, while during peak hours, the electricity costs range between 3.50 and 5.40 THB/kWh. The decrease in EV charging costs will encourage EV owners to utilize their EVs.","PeriodicalId":340768,"journal":{"name":"2023 20th International Conference on Electrical Engineering/Electronics, Computer, Telecommunications and Information Technology (ECTI-CON)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128364577","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, we proposed a calorie estimation system on an android mobile application. Calorie estimation is performed using a food image captured from a mobile camera and the depth image from AR core library. The food area is segmented using our finetuned Mask R-CNN with Thai food image dataset. Finally, machine learning methods including Linear Regression, Support Vector Regression, K-Nearest Neighbor, and Deep Neural Network are used to estimate the amount of food calories included in a meal of each image.

The current hardware-based PDM-to-PCM converters uses cascaded integrator-comb (CIC) based and finite impulse response (FIR) filters, which result in high hardware utilization to achieve a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). To strike a balance between performance and power consumption, a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) has been applied in a PDM-to-PCM converter. Although this method resolves the aforementioned issues, an improvement to the system latency and throughput is possible. This paper proposes a fast method for a hardware-based PDM-to-PCM converter by cascading a digital low-pass filter and an existing ID-CNN-based low-pass filter. The approximation results show that the output PCM signal has the mean absolute error (MAE) of only 0.0026 compared to the original PCM signal. The proposed method has been implemented on the Xilinx PYNQ-ZI field programmable gate array (FPGA). While there is a slight increase in hardware utilization due to an additional required hardware, the latency has improved by 61% compared to the existing ID-CNN-based PDM-to-PCM converter. This research reduces the time taken to process each PCM data from PDM in a hardware-based system.","PeriodicalId":340768,"journal":{"name":"2023 20th International Conference on Electrical Engineering/Electronics, Computer, Telecommunications and Information Technology (ECTI-CON)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125071965","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}

Particle traps are fabricated with silicone and polyimide. The particle deactivation performance is observed for two types of particle traps.
