In this paper, de-skewing operations and template matching technique are proposed to maintain the accuracy of the car plate at the high level. The suggested system achieved 91.1% of overall accuracy in the recognition process in the system.","PeriodicalId":412517,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Symposium on Computer Applications & Industrial Electronics (ISCAIE)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126617705","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}

Alternatively, multiphase matrix converters can offer a direct 3-phase to n-phase conversion without the need for this bulky storage element. Most of the available literature investigates multiphase matrix converter under healthy conditions. This paper introduces the performance of a five-phase induction motor fed by a three-to five-phase matrix converter (3×5 MC) under fault conditions. The indirect space vector modulation (ISVM) technique is employed to modulate the converter switches and the entire system is controlled using open-loop Volts/Hz control. The given study is limited to open-circuit switch faults due to gate failures with different bidirectional switch arrangements employed. A simulation case study using Matlab/Simulink is carried out to investigate the performance of the whole system under different fault scenarios, and results are compared with the healthy case.","PeriodicalId":412517,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Symposium on Computer Applications & Industrial Electronics (ISCAIE)","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134338912","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}

For a x-Folded TM network, there is a reduction in the average distance and diameter which corroborates the efficient performance. Also many routing algorithms can be applied to interconnection network for the efficient use of network resources. This paper presents the effectiveness of the x-Folded TM network with the average latency and network throughput under the adaptive routing algorithm to improve dynamic communication performance. We evaluate the communication performance with simulating the topology under the adaptive routing algorithm. It is found from the result that the performance of a x-Folded TM network has been improved compared with other topologies.","PeriodicalId":412517,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Symposium on Computer Applications & Industrial Electronics (ISCAIE)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114539810","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}

Usually, the total desired differential gain is assigned to the first stage while the gain of the second stage is set to unity in order to achieve higher common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) values. On the other hand, the effect of this choice on the frequency response of the amplifier is not fully understood. For this purpose, this paper presents a theoretical study on the influence of gain choice for the first and second stages of the amplifier on its 3-dB bandwidth. To achieve this, the closed-loop transfer function of the amplifier is derived while considering the effect of the finite open-loop gain and bandwidth of the op-amps used to implement this type of amplifier. The equations presented here demonstrate that the 3-dB bandwidth is increased considerably when the gain of the first stage is reduced and that of the second stage is raised while keeping the value of the total differential gain constant. Although this happens at the expense of CMRR, designers of this type of amplifier should consider the tradeoff between the two.","PeriodicalId":412517,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Symposium on Computer Applications & Industrial Electronics (ISCAIE)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134559316","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}

There are six tasks in the overall assessment that looks into the subject visual and phonics processing, along with their reading, writing and spelling proficiencies. Eight electrode positions were applied on the scalp based on the brain learning pathway to look into areas of activation, C3, C4, CZ, P3, P4, F8, F7 and T7. The computer based assessment provide the basis of activities to be presented to a dyslexic subject with an age range of 7 to 12 that evaluates their learning capabilities and present the marker that can lead towards the diagnosis of dyslexia.

This issue can be improved by developing a built-in module that handles the authorization process. An approach known as OAuth Manager Module is presented in this paper. A prototype application was developed to demonstrate the approach. Facebook SL was also provided as the authentication mechanism. The prototype is evaluated through a controlled experimentation of real users. The users interacted with the prototype and gave their views on the security of the module. The security of the module is compared with the common mobile browser implementation. The result suggests that users see that communication using the module is more secure than the mobile browsers.","PeriodicalId":412517,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Symposium on Computer Applications & Industrial Electronics (ISCAIE)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121689151","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}

There are several research papers on T-NPC-MLI producing the desired voltage conversion and with minimal switching and conduction losses. Though the reported research on Z-NPC-MLI SVPWM has dealt with reduction of Shoot through (ST) options and its predominance enhancement, it does not address the neutral point fluctuation problems on the DC-Link. This paper proposes an improved SVPWM scheme for Z-T-NPC-MLI with minimal ST state. The scheme exploits the redundancy switching vector option for both ST and regular switching, which offers a self-control neutral point fluctuation. Also the proposed SVPWM maintains the quarter symmetry and harmonic spectra. The deliberate Z-T-NPC-MLI with proposed SVPWM is simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment, and the results confirm the advantages of the proposed inverter and its simplified PWM scheme.","PeriodicalId":412517,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Symposium on Computer Applications & Industrial Electronics (ISCAIE)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127606283","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}
