Palmprint include principal lines, wrinkles and ridges which contain very important features essential for recognition. The Contourlet Transform (CT) is a multiresolution and multidirection transform which can be effective in capturing the palm features. The first technique extracts the edges from the palm images and then performs the CT or the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) on the edge extracted images. The sub-band images are divided into M*M non-overlapping blocks. The energy of each block is calculated and normalized to form a feature vector. The second technique employs the principal component analysis PCA where the approximation images are input to it for dimensionality reduction and to produce the eigen palms. Features extracted from both techniques are tested and compared where it was found that the best achieved recognition rate is about 94% when combining the results of both techniques using the CT.","PeriodicalId":358023,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd International Conference on Computational Intelligence, Communication Systems and Networks","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126147988","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}

While the real-time scheduler is derived from the legacy Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheme, the non-real time scheduler is derived from the ordinary First Come First Served (FCFS) scheme. During runtime operation, with the support of a feedback control mechanism, the Access Point (AP) dynamically switches the two polling schedulers according to the channel status, giving the temporarily unreachable real-time traffic more chances to meet its time constrains while continuing the best effort service for the non-real time traffic. Simulation results show that the proposed hierarchical scheduler efficiently improves the overall WLAN packet success ratio.","PeriodicalId":358023,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd International Conference on Computational Intelligence, Communication Systems and Networks","volume":"147 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123012154","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}

Therefore, various architectures have been proposed to enhance the efficiency and quality of the transmission. The proposals based on the Application Layer Multicast (ALM) usually applying on the peer-to-peer protocol is one of those. The previous work of this paper designed a Multi-Path based ALM, which utilized the transmission ability of free peers existing in the overlay networks. The design focused on an unstructured overlay network, where peers are connected randomly. Therefore, the flooding query method, which checked transmission ability of each peer, is used to discover and construct the desired multiple delivery path. This unstructured management made the communication cost much higher than expected. This paper proposed a tree-based structured management way to provide efficient discovery and construction. Based on the K-tree model, this method is also available to promote the current ALM structures. The improvement of the management cost has been illustrated in our experiment with an instance of Multi-Path transmission, which is based on the well-developed project DVTS (Digital Video Transport System). The improved transmission speed could be seen from our result.","PeriodicalId":358023,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd International Conference on Computational Intelligence, Communication Systems and Networks","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132673405","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}

From the numerical analysis, we observed that required call-level QoS for both voice and data calls is provided and upper bound of data response time is guaranteed to data calls.

A Networked Control System (NCS) is a feedback control system where the feedback loops are closed by means of an electronic network. It is well known that Networked (Control) Systems are not subject to the same design assumptions as non-networked systems, a fact that is mainly due to the inevitable presence of network delays and packet drops. In a typical closed-loop NCS, the state is sampled periodically, transmitted through the network, becomes available to the controller, which after computing the control action, transmits the sampled signal to the event-driven actuator after an uncertain or constant but unknown delay. The plant receives this command via a Zero Order Hold device (ZOH) after a delay τ, which models the sum total of the involved transmission delays. These network-induced delays appear in the information flow between the sensor and the controller (delay τsc (k)), as well as between the controller and the actuator (delay τca (k)), where k denotes the dependence on the kth sampling period.","PeriodicalId":358023,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd International Conference on Computational Intelligence, Communication Systems and Networks","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121205373","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 main job is to lubricate moving part of the engine. Engine oil is also performed to clean, inhibits corrosion and cools the engine by sinking the heat away from the main structure of the engine. However, the viscosity of the engine oil varies with respect to changes in mileage and the change of lubricant on schedule is always inaccurate. As a result, engine oil becomes out of condition for after a period of usage, resulting poor performance and increase cost and maintenance. Viscosity is a parameter to measure resistance of a fluid to flow. Through the theoretical and experimental method, this paper verifies the measurement of transmittance percentages of viscosity in terms of infrared wavelength with respect to several classes’ mileage distances. The most robust networks are also identified to be applied in this study. Finally, this information can be used in designing sensor to detect the degree of viscosity and development of the decay of lubricant evaluation index.","PeriodicalId":358023,"journal":{"name":"2010 2nd International Conference on Computational Intelligence, Communication Systems and Networks","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126665968","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}
