The use of the smart camera is one solution to solve the traffic problems, Smart cameras are cameras that can perform tasks far beyond simply taking photos and recording videos. Highways Traffic Surveillance System (HTSS) is used to monitor the roads in preventing accidents at the same time finding what causes the accidents. This is done by implementing some image vision protocols as that of Gaussian and Canny. This paper will discuss about the camera-video-surveillance capabilities of tracking across different and varied road environments including detection of moving vehicles. The programming method used will be the functional programming of OpenCV which could be operated under both, Windows and Linux OS. This paper will also examine the result of the combination of computer vision programming and the network socket programming under GNU Linux. At the end, this paper will attempt to discuss the design issues and challenges.","PeriodicalId":414677,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Control and System Graduate Research Colloquium (ICSGRC 2010)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114260250","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 objective of the experiment is to study the effect of FLC's scaling factors (e, Δe Δu) to temperature controllability of the heat-exchanger system. Various values for e, Δe and Δu were set to FLC, and the process response (temperature) was observed. The result showed that a smaller value of e resulted in process instability, while a larger value would led to slower process response. Contrary to e, a smaller value of Δe resulted in slower process response, while a larger value would led to process instability. For Δu, a smaller value resulted in slower process response, while a larger value led to process instability.","PeriodicalId":414677,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Control and System Graduate Research Colloquium (ICSGRC 2010)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114954956","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}

Designed in a commercial 0.18-μm 1.8-V standard RFCMOS technology, the proposed UWB LNA achieves fully on-chip circuit implementation, contributing to the realization of a single-chip CMOS UWB receiver. The proposed UWB LNA achieves above 17.08dB power gain with a good input match (S11<−10 dB) over the 7.5-GHz bandwidth (from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz), and an average noise figure of 4.8 dB, while drawing 18.4-mA dc biasing current from the 1.8-V power supply. A gain control mechanism is also introduced for the first time in the proposed design by varying the biasing current of the gain stage without influencing the other figures of merit of the circuit so as to accommodate the UWB LNA in various UWB wireless transmission systems with different link budgets. By product data Advanced design system (ADS) and using neural network, we can design UWB in 3.1–10.6GHz frequency range for every standard band (0528–7.4GHz).

To perform this light exercise, surface electromyogram (EMG) signals are measured from major muscles from the body responsible for human motion.

The NARX model was trained with noisy recorded signal as inputs, and clean signal (from the MP3 audio file) as the output. The system identification process then tries to relate between the input and the output so that the noise component from the input is removed in the output stage. The binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) algorithm was used to perform model structure selection (selection of input and output lagged signals that best explains the future values of the data). Parameter estimation of the NARX model was done using Householder Transform-based QR factorization.

Generally, the NCTF controller consists of a nominal characteristic trajectory (NCT) and a compensator. The objective of the NCTF controller is to make the object motion follow the NCT and end at its origin. The NCTF controller is designed based on a simple open-loop experiment of the object. The parameters and an exact model of the plant are not necessary for controller design. This paper presents a method to improve the existing NCTF controller for two mass rotary positioning system by adding a notch filter as a compensator to eliminate the vibration due to the mechanical resonance. They can often remove resonance without compromising performance. The improved NCTF controller is evaluated and discussed based on results of simulation. The effect of the design parameters on the robustness of the NCTF controller to inertia and friction variations is evaluated and compared with conventional PID controller. It is shown that improved NCTF controller is better than conventional PID controller.","PeriodicalId":414677,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Control and System Graduate Research Colloquium (ICSGRC 2010)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123777838","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}
