The on-current is boosted from conventional homostructure DM-DG TFET due to the energy band discontinuity at the source-channel junction. Moreover, the impact of thickness dependent bandgap and electron affinity of GaSb-InAs heterostructure on the threshold voltage, on-current, and on-off ratio is also investigated. Our proposed device provides 191.42 μA/μm on-current (Ion), 48 mV/decade SS, and 0.3 V threshold voltage (Vth) at Vds = 0.5 V for 5 nm channel thickness with 40 nm channel length. The optimization of gate material work-function for the proposed heterostructure in comparison with InAs homostructure DM-DG TFET is also analyzed in our work.","PeriodicalId":411099,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Region 10 Humanitarian Technology Conference (R10-HTC)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122243291","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}

Input taken from the heterogeneous sensors such as sonar, vision, orientation and inertial sensors are used for object detection and recognition. The proposed approach entails grid based obstacle localization using sonar sensors and precise identification of that obstacle by vision sensors. This is coarse to fine obstacle identification process which increases the accuracy and decreases computational processing overhead. This improves the walking experience of the visually impaired by making them more independent. This framework facilitates both audio and tactile feedback on the obstacles in the close proximity of the visually impaired people. Improvement of the independent navigation of the visually impaired people by using sensors fusion is the key contribution of this research.","PeriodicalId":411099,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Region 10 Humanitarian Technology Conference (R10-HTC)","volume":"323 1-4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131507153","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}

Segments of ECG signals are fed into dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) to generate frequency sub-bands. Three statistical moment parameters are then developed from the DT-CWT outputs. The suitability of these statistical moments in distinguishing normal and apneic ECG signals is investigated through extensive analyses. The overall algorithmic detection accuracy of the scheme is determined for various machine learning classifiers. Sleep apnea classification is done using logistic boosting (LogitBoost). Until now this is for the first time LogitBoost has been implemented for automated sleep apnea detection. We also performed cross validation for classification model evaluation and optimal parameter selection. Results suggest that the detection accuracy of the apnea screening scheme presented in this work is comparable to extant sleep apnea screening systems of the literature. It can be anticipated that upon its implementation, the detection scheme proposed in this work will take us one step closer to sleep apnea monitoring device implementation and eradicate the onus of the physicians.","PeriodicalId":411099,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Region 10 Humanitarian Technology Conference (R10-HTC)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127739478","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}

As per the report published in journal of ophthalmology, every five seconds one person in our world goes blind; every minute, one child goes blind. As per Indian Council of Medical Research, India has more than 40 million persons with visual impairments of serious nature. Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of Low Vision, followed by diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. A variety of other conditions such as in-operable or pre-operative cataracts and other hereditary diseases can also cause impaired vision. Most of these visual impairments cannot be corrected by surgical means, nor by conventional spectacles. Hence, it is vital to develop dedicated Visual Aids for Near Vision & Distance Vision to enable the person with low vision to perform their daily tasks independently. In current work light weight, tele-microscopes are developed by direct removal of material by ultra-precision machining method. This device employs plastic aspheric lenses in plano-convex and plano-concave configuration mounted in a lightweight housing with a power accommodation of +2 Dioptre. Plastic aspheric lenses are fabricated by single point diamond turning (SPDT) machine. Developed visual aids have controlled profile to improve the vision quality. The mechanical housing design provides flexibility to use the device in dual configuration i.e. hand-held and spectacle frame mounted.","PeriodicalId":411099,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Region 10 Humanitarian Technology Conference (R10-HTC)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131812766","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}

It becomes a key concern because the university authority maintains a rule that one student can only attend in the exam if his/her attendance is higher or equal to several percentages (60%,70% or 80% etc.) otherwise not. The traditional attendance system needs student's to physically sign the attendance sheet each time for the attendance of each class. This is unnecessarily time-consuming to notice and mark student's name on the attendance sheet. This also happens that some students may accidentally or willingly mark the student's name like as proxy. The hard copy of attendance sheet may get lost. Using Smartphone like as Android Technology the course teacher will be able to take attendance easily by our designed mobile application and save the attendance in the phone as well as in server and can check percentage and also can print as hard copy. Using the stored information, this system is able to mark attendance, marking intruders' entry, attendance percentage calculations, send emails, and send SMS to the guardian to keep them updated about their child's attendance at the Institute. The designed system has an online access from any place and any moment which may extraordinarily assist the course teacher with keeping track of their student's attendance.","PeriodicalId":411099,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Region 10 Humanitarian Technology Conference (R10-HTC)","volume":"19 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131923613","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}

Exhaustive experimentation on publicly available WCE video database validate that significant differences can be obtained between ulcer and non-ulcer images in histogram patterns of asymmetric indexed image.

Though it is almost incurable but proper management can contribute toward keeping it under-control to allow affected people to lead a healthy life for decades. To manage diabetes in a smarter way, accurate and hassle free prediction of blood glucose level (BGL) is paramount important for patients. Toward this goal, we propose three prediction models (Linear Regression Model, SVR Model, Weibull Distribution model) each of which uses the current and previous days BGLs to predict the next day's fasting BGL. The uniqueness of our models are that they require only a single type of data (BGLs) with minimum numbers of data inputs to make the prediction without compromising the accuracy level. Among our three models, SVR model performs better with average 3.24 mmol/L RMSE. We are considering to predict BGLs specifically for Type 2 diabetes patients as the Type 2-diabetes-affected people constitute major segment among the diabetes victims and it has so far not received the level of attention of the health workers and researchers.","PeriodicalId":411099,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Region 10 Humanitarian Technology Conference (R10-HTC)","volume":"10 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114120193","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}
