In metastable mode, the input and output of the CMOS inverter are shorted, and then comparison mode is used to determine the ultimate choice based on the input current. The new comparator with positive feedback has the best low-voltage behavior, allowing for a short delay time while reducing offset current and power waste. The suggested circuit has a frequency of 1GHz and a precision of 1 pA.","PeriodicalId":354908,"journal":{"name":"2021 9th International Japan-Africa Conference on Electronics, Communications, and Computations (JAC-ECC)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122485356","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 design of a Light-emitting diode (LED) in Li-Fi technology makes changes in the way of communication that can be used for transmitting data by flashing light. On the other hand, sensors nodes in WSNs need photodiodes as a detector which plays an important part in receiving data from a LED and decoding it. Free space optical (FSO) communication has emerged as a feasible technique for broadband wireless applications. In this article, we used two scientific software to analyze the performance of wireless sensor networks with Li-Fi technology: OptiSystem, which is a tool for developing and analyzing optical communication systems, and Matlab which is used to integrate results curves. In this analysis, we consider three models of wireless sensor networks that use photodetectors that receive data from LED throughout the FSO channel: the LOS model, the single LED non-LOS model and the two LED non-LOS model. When compared the models together, the experimental results indicated that the LOS model is the best for WSNs which use Li-Fi technology.","PeriodicalId":354908,"journal":{"name":"2021 9th International Japan-Africa Conference on Electronics, Communications, and Computations (JAC-ECC)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129365138","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}

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have the advantages of parallel processing, low cost, and low power consumption. These semiconductor devices contain many logic blocks that can be programmed to perform everything from basic digital gate-level technology to complex image processing algorithms.

In this paper, a deep neural network using a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory with CRF (BI-LSTM-CRF) model is applied for address extraction. In addition, a Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) model is implemented to extract the geographical addresses from Facebook posts. Further, we reveal how to use the BIEO tagging method to apply the sequence labeling technique to Arabic postal address extraction. An Arabic corpus from social media is annotated to evaluate our proposed model.

This paper aims to provide a comprehensive real-time evaluation for performing ego-lane detection based on deep learning. The lane detection is recognized here as a semantic segmentation task where a pre-trained ResUNet++ model is adopted from a prior study. The real-time evaluation approaches include testing driving video sequences, CARLA simulator environment, and finally, a hardware kit that runs the deep learning model on the NVIDIA Jetson Nano developer kit. The performance of the model was investigated in various complex environments and dynamic scenarios. Eventually, the experimental results were qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated, showing reliability and promptness of using deep learning models for the lane detection task in a real-time context.","PeriodicalId":354908,"journal":{"name":"2021 9th International Japan-Africa Conference on Electronics, Communications, and Computations (JAC-ECC)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132693068","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 recent years, most studies have focused on the use of deep learning techniques for crop disease recognition as these models have consistently outperformed shallow classifiers. When used to classify crop diseases from images taken under controlled lab conditions, deep learning models have achieved near perfect recognition accuracies. However, when used with images captured under field conditions, the deep learning models’ performance dropped considerably. Research showed that complex illumination and background conditions are mainly responsible for this decline in performance. Subsequent studies demonstrated that classifying images of individual lesions rather than images of whole leaves improved disease recognition accuracy while at the same time allowing for the detection of multiple infections presenting on the same leaf. Latest studies have proposed algorithms for automatic extraction and classification of lesions from leaf images. In this paper, the authors present a brief survey of the state-of-art and their contributions towards automatic recognition of disease lesions using deep learning methods. In particular, this paper highlights two deep learning models named KijaniNet and SwapNet which were proposed for use in automatic lesion extraction and classification algorithms. The paper concludes by suggesting some research points to be considered in future studies.","PeriodicalId":354908,"journal":{"name":"2021 9th International Japan-Africa Conference on Electronics, Communications, and Computations (JAC-ECC)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127416718","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 design method depends on the geometrical modification of the antenna structure by adding some inductively-loaded and capacitively-coupled elements to the primary patch so that it can efficiently radiate at the desired higher frequency bands. The antenna has high radiation efficiency, excellent impedance matching, and satisfactory values of the antenna gain. The patch is fabricated for experimental assessment of its performance including the impedance matching and radiation patterns.
