As each ring presents a dual-mode response, the order of the overall bandpass response will be equal to two times the number of rings being used. Furthermore, the pseudo-elliptic characteristics of the ring resonators will enhance the selectivity of the resulting filter since a transmission zero is obtained at both sides of the passband. An application of the concept is implemented for the case of three series-connected rings that exhibits a 6th order bandpass response centered at 2 GHz. Fabricated on epoxy-glass substrate, the results show a very good agreement between the simulation and measurement with a very good rejection level surpassing 50 dB up to 3.5 GHz.","PeriodicalId":346890,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on System Engineering and Technology","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122632209","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 performance comparison of video multicast of the two technologies is described. Both platforms were modeled and simulations executed with multicast protocol enabled. For real time traffic, selected parameters were carefully defined and configured such as delay, throughput and packet loss. The objective of this study is to compare performance of MPLS and ATM based on these selected parameters, particularly in the case of delivering video traffic in the presence of congestion. The study showed that with VPN enabled on both technologies, MPLS had performed better than ATM in terms of throughput and packet drop.","PeriodicalId":346890,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on System Engineering and Technology","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126760427","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}

Five most dominating emotions such as: happy, disgust, fear, sad and neutral are considered and these emotions are induced through Audio-visual stimuli (video clips). EMG signals are obtained by using 3 electrodes over 10 trials per emotion and preprocessed by using Butterworth 6th order filter to remove noises and external interferences. EMG signals on decomposed into four different frequency ranges ((8 Hz– 16 Hz), (16 Hz– 31 Hz) and (16 Hz– 63 Hz)) using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). The ststistical features extracted from the above frequency bands are mapped into five different emotions using two simple classifiers such as KNN and LDA. The value of K in KNN is varied randomly, and maximum classification rate is achieved at K=3. KNN classifier gives the highest classification rate on four emotions (disgust, happy, fear and neutral) different emotions and LDA on sad emotion. The maximum classification rate of disgust, happy, fear neutral, and sad are 90.83%, 100%, 94.17%, and 90.28% and 43.89%, respectively are achieved using KNN and LDA. The results from the proposed methodology are promising and female are easily evoked by different emotional stimuli compared to male.","PeriodicalId":346890,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on System Engineering and Technology","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123918541","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}

An earthquake (also known as a tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Ear th's crust that creates seismic waves. In order to reveal possible earthquake precursor through the changes of ULF signal, 2 set of real time data from California region is used as a study case. The data was taken from Quakefinder websites which owned magnetometer station along the California fault region. The observation was made several days before and on the day of the earthquake event occurred. The results obtained, demonstrated the theory that magnetometer may detect anomaly in ULF signal several days or a few hours before main shock. The data is shown in the form of Pc3/4 waveform and it is broken down by the scale of the amplitude into graph. The maximum and minimum amplitude taken from the graph showed anomaly of ULF and its correlation to space ULF have been discussed.","PeriodicalId":346890,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on System Engineering and Technology","volume":"531 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124513246","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}

Wireless transmission is ideal in cases where instantaneous or continuous energy transfer is needed, but interconnecting wires are inconvenient, hazardous, or impossible. Antenna has become the most vital element in any RF system due to its capability as a radio wave transceiver. A properly designed antenna is desirable to ensure efficient transfer of energy. This paper proposes a helical antenna design for wireless power transmissions through radio wave frequency of 300 MHz to 400 MHz. The antenna is being designed and simulated using CST microwave software. The parameters highlighted in this paper include return loss, voltage standing wave ratio, and radiation pattern. Preliminary findings indicate that the helical antenna design is suitable for wireless power transmission. Hence, the research has a prospective future of being extended for fabrication and prototype testing.","PeriodicalId":346890,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on System Engineering and Technology","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128512626","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}
