Furthermore, the paper shows wireless energy harvesting capabilities to enable battery-less, or sustainable, wireless sensor networks with “smart skin” sensor nodes. These sensors are highly applicable for industrial applications: carbon-nanotube-based gas sensor, pressure sensor, and strain sensor. The low-profile, flexible sensors can be attached to surfaces as a “smart skin” with various sensing capabilities. These antenna-based sensors have the unique property of having a dual function of sensing and communication within a single device, which thereby enables RFID functionality to be integrated. Utilizing wireless sensor networking, it is possible to increase range and area of sensing. All prototypes have been designed, fabricated, and measured, the results of which show high sensitivity.","PeriodicalId":365141,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131624834","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}

Instead of using a modular architecture based on filters that use dynamic programming techniques, such as, inheritance, virtual functions and plug-ins, static programming techniques like template metaprogramming were used. Firstly, feature models are employed to represent the common and variable features at specification level. Finally, template metaprogramming is used to manage variability at implementation level. In opposition to modular architectures, this approach achieves a very high flexibility of management of hot spots and a high level of system performance trade off. Furthermore, in this solution, only the required code for a specific system configuration is compiled. This is an adequate technique for systems with serious memory constraints such as embedded systems, since no overhead is introduced in code size and performance.","PeriodicalId":365141,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133394941","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 fact, we determine the transfer function of the genset controlled by the feedback MPC in closed loop. After that, we inverse this transfer function to compute the feedforward controller. The zero-magnitude-error tracking controller (ZMETC) is used to approximate the inversed transfer function.

In contrast to one-off development, SPLs are based on the idea that the distinct products of the family share a significant amount of assets. This forces a change in how software is developed. Likewise, software testing should mimic its code counterpart: product testing should also be produced out of a common set of assets. Specifically, this paper addresses how model-driven testing, used for one-off development, can be moved to an SPL setting. We focus on feature-oriented software development as the SPL realization technique. UML sequence diagrams are used to represent the common and feature scenarios. This models are transformed through model transformations to obtain test cases that conform to the UML Testing Profile.","PeriodicalId":365141,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology","volume":"138 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117154917","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 method consisted of three parts; global search for finding a license plate in a scene, corner detection for removing shape deformation, and numeral character recognition. The spatial features and the spectral (color) ones were merged and processed at a time in the global search. The Hough transformation was adopted for selecting sides of the license-plate among various edges in the following corner detection. The corner points found as cross points of the neighboring sides were used for removing the shape deformation. The four-digit numbers were recognized by using a virtual pixel algorithm with centroid compensation. The global search achieved 97 % of correct detection rate for 100 sets of scenes. The corner detection achieved 65 % (39 of 65 scenes) of correct detection rate, so far. The four-digit numbers on the license-plates, whose corners were correctly detected, were recognized perfectly.","PeriodicalId":365141,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126178791","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}
