The purpose of this research is to evaluate the capability of USB-16 in providing an accurate map in terms of the walls perimeter and its shape, where the robot is located. Each wall will be scanned with USB-16 sensor bank to measure the distance between the center of sensor bank and the wall. The Homogeneous Transformation Matrix (HTM) and trigonometrically algorithm is utilized in this research as a wall mapping algorithm and is clearly explained in this paper. An optimum wall mapping algorithm was introduced to minimize measurement error. The optimum wall mapping technique named a Nominal Wall Angle (NWA) using trigonometric approach was introduced to improve the mapping accuracy. This algorithm has the capability to improve the ultrasonic mapping accuracy during the scanning process and is different from data manipulation technique like most of similar researches currently adapted. The comparison of experimental results before and after implementation of the optimization technique in different wall shape (Curve, Square, Rectangle, Triangle and Laboratory environment) will be presented in this paper. The results are very impressive, where the implementation of NWA algorithm is able to produce an accurate wall mapping compared with the actual wall size. LabVIEW software, Basic Atom and BASIC Stamp microcontroller are fully utilized to produce the real time 2D and 3D graph during the USB-16 mapping.","PeriodicalId":412517,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Symposium on Computer Applications & Industrial Electronics (ISCAIE)","volume":"4 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":"115524316","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 Cloud computing is an important technological development in this generation, its effect on job productivity is unclear. Cloud computing may promise lower cost and the capability to quickly scale resources up or down as workloads demanded, thus leading organizations in both the public and private sectors to consider shifting their applications and data to the Cloud. Although Cloud computing provides many advantages but barriers of Cloud usage such as security breaches, incompatibility with existing applications and unreliability of Cloud service reduce job productivity. This research hence aims to propose a framework on demography, Cloud characteristics and learning styles for Cloud computing usage, documentation and productivity. This research uses a systematic and methodological plan to coordinate research for optimum resource allocation. The intended population where data will be collected under this study will be 500 Cloud service users in a local region in Malaysia.","PeriodicalId":412517,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Symposium on Computer Applications & Industrial Electronics (ISCAIE)","volume":"66 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":"128780717","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 emotional state of a person can be manifested in different ways such as facial expressions, gestures, movements and postures, recognition of emotion from speech has gathered much interest over others. However, after years of research, recognizing the emotional state of individuals from their speech as accurately as possible still remains a challenging task. This motivates an attempt to study to understand the factors that influence identification of Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) such as gender and age. The aim of this study is to investigate whether a SER system can identify the emotional state of a person regardless of the language used. To investigate the influence of languages in SER, we explored how spoken expressions of four selected emotions (anger, sad, happiness and neutral) varied in the three languages of interest; Malay, English and Mandarin. In addition, the perceptual outcomes were studied in relation to identifying the advantage of speech emotion expression produced by native speakers. While supporting the fact that SER is language independent, the study reveals that there are language specific differences in emotion recognition in which English shows a higher recognition rate compared to Malay and Mandarin. This study also demonstrated that emotions expressed by native speakers have higher accuracy rates.","PeriodicalId":412517,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Symposium on Computer Applications & Industrial Electronics (ISCAIE)","volume":"1 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":"129147842","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}

This present investigation is competent to reveal the characteristics of postural control, gait pattern among stroke survivors. These findings also are capable in giving the effective guidelines for developing appropriate strategies for safe standing and walking to reduce fall incidence. Furthermore, this results also can be used to monitor stroke patients, in the aspects of theirs rehabilitation progress from time to time. 18 subjects has been recruited (nine stroke subjects and nine normal subjects) with range of age between 40 to 65 years old. Additionally, all subjects must be able to walk freely without any cane or mechanical aid during walking. In this study, Vicon® Nexus Plug-in-Gait is used to compute the kinematic gait parameters. Movements in anatomical planes is used as a reference during walking. This paper focus on the sagittal plane only. From the results, it is found that there is a significant difference in the maximum angle of knee between stroke and normal subjects. As a conclusion, the significant value which is 0.003 only can be observed from the maximum knee angle between both groups. The results of this study may be varies due to several aspects such as physical body structure and also age.","PeriodicalId":412517,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Symposium on Computer Applications & Industrial Electronics (ISCAIE)","volume":"60 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":"124154048","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}

With the increase in electrical power requirement, a high energy density battery energy storage system (BESS) is required in a More Electric Aircraft (MEA). This paper describes the design and operation of a 50 kW, 6.4 kWh Lithium ion BESS in detail, wherein the circuit parameters are designed considering the required power sharing and the limitation of ripple in voltage and current. A current mode control technique is proposed for the integration of the proposed high energy density Li-Ion BESS with 270 V DC power distribution bus. A bidirectional isolated DC-DC converter is used for the integration. In order to achieve the high performance of the isolated bi-directional DC-DC converter, the system output voltage must maintain good tracking of its reference command, despite transient events and varying operating conditions. The proposed battery configuration is verified under different dynamic conditions using the proposed current mode control with variations in the output current (load). The circuit modeling is done in PSIM simulation environment, and simulation results are presented and discussed in the paper.","PeriodicalId":412517,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Symposium on Computer Applications & Industrial Electronics (ISCAIE)","volume":"45 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":"126947617","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 proposed algorithm consists of partial contrast stretching, contrast limiting enhancement, window sliding neighborhood operation and new pixel centroid replacement. The fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences of MRI images which are used for segmentation have low contrast. Therefore, contrast stretching is used to improve the quality of the image. After improving the quality of image, the regions of high intensity are determined to represent potential WMH areas. The result shows that the image has a moderate enhancement on the WMH region which is significant to the image contrast enhancement. With complete brightness preservation, the proposed method gives a relatively natural brightness improvement on the WMH of the periventricular region.","PeriodicalId":412517,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Symposium on Computer Applications & Industrial Electronics (ISCAIE)","volume":"71 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":"133210812","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}

Results obtained showed students' ability on logical thinking and problem solving skills. Performance analysis based on different course disciplines were done to identify whether course discipline has influence over the result. Observation showed that first year students has no influence of their disciplines and has almost equal chances to score in the subject. This contradicts with students perceptions especially from the arts and management disciplines. Even so, students in technical disciplines have taken this subject more seriously for they have continuity programming subjects to be enrolled and therefore need to equip themselves with strong programming skills.

The VSA SDR platform is clearly divided into the signal acquisition (SA) hardware and the PC-based core software (CS). The CS embodies functions for SA control and LTE receiver signal processing. Hence, this SA-CS SDR approach has the merit of flexible operation using different SA hardware.
