Due to this devastating effect, it is important to investigate the radiation environment of the orbit to predict the SEU rate for 6T SRAM, which is the building block of SRAM based FPGA. This study investigates the radiation environment in NEqO specifically for the orbit of RazakSat satellite. Solar Event Particles (SEPs), Trapped Protons / Electrons (TP/TE) and Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) are the three main sources of radiation which are taken to consideration in this study. The fluxes spectra of these three types are simulated and SEU rates for 180nm 6T SRAM are predicted using SPENVIS models for NEqO orbit. The results show that GCR fluxes are the most dominant at NEqO which reached to 105 MeV whereas TE has 4MeV and TP has the second dominant fluxes with 400 MeV. However, if the magnetic shielding atmosphere is on, there are no solar particles fluxes and almost no SEU was detected. Results also illustrate that SEU rates at NEqO is 0.5 upset / bit day when there is no shielding to the device (6T SRAM) but this rates reduced by 1.6 x 106 times when the device shielded by 0.5 g/cm2 of Aluminium. Comparisons of NEqO with polar orbit in terms of shielding effect and SEU rates are also presented in this study.","PeriodicalId":360454,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Computer and Communication Engineering (ICCCE)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126632535","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}

Water depth measurement a.k.a bathymetry is important for critical areas such as river and water reservoir (dam) to estimate the volume and surface area for environment conservation and safety purpose. Conventionally, in inland water monitoring, the data obtained from the measurements are recorded in the log book and have to go through some screening process before plotting contour. This procedure is not only slow but also requires a lot of logistic equipment and labor forces. Therefore, an Autonomous Surface Vessel equipped with an echo sounder and data telemetry is proposed. It can be either remotely controlled or run automatically by autopilot navigation software. It is also equipped with GPS and compass for the navigation sensor feedback. The ASV was tested at several lakes for the performance of data collection and navigation.","PeriodicalId":360454,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Computer and Communication Engineering (ICCCE)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121660160","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 input pressure have been set to 1 Pa as default. The simulation results demonstrated that under the same condition, a higher output pressure can be formed by having smaller tube radius and bigger cavity radius of the Helmholtz resonator. The resonance frequency of the Helmholtz resonator was found at 181 Hz. On the other hand, the interaction between air pressure's vibration and piezoelectric diaphragm plays an important role in determining the amount of harvested acoustic power and the position of piezoelectric circular diaphragm in the Helmholtz resonator is at the optimum when it is placed at the end of the resonator compared to at the beginning of the resonator's tube.","PeriodicalId":360454,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Computer and Communication Engineering (ICCCE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129810790","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 inverter using a three leg IGBT has been designed for microgrid systems and simulated by using MATLAB2014a. The input and output lowpass LC filters are used to synchronize the micro-grid phase. The controllers have generated PWM signal and a zero crossing sampling is used to precisely synchronize with microgrid line frequency.

Exploiting this network, people can easily share huge volume of information (e.g., text, audio and video) without paying any charge that runs to gain overwhelming popularity of it. Nevertheless, it is an important issue for the users to select the privacy options for their information, resulting in the decision making on who can access the information and how the information should be used. This decision can be made via privacy management features within the social networks' applications. However, the lack of study to explain the perceived use of privacy policies and management features, among social networks' users, has conjured up the significant concerns about how social network users felt about the use of these features in social networks. To address this issue, in this paper, an empirical study has been conducted to seek for users' feedbacks on the use of existing privacy policies and management features of social networks. These feedback assist in improving further the social network users' privacy features.","PeriodicalId":360454,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Computer and Communication Engineering (ICCCE)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124073646","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}
