The developed technique guarantees the necessary agreement between the reduction of the negative impact of background illumination and the sensor operating speed.","PeriodicalId":416168,"journal":{"name":"2014 3rd Mediterranean Conference on Embedded Computing (MECO)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121643497","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 efficiency of the forcing method is shown in comparison with the classical algorithm that expects the end of the transient response in the measuring circuit. The limits of the range of the method's main parameter — a signal forcing coefficient are considered. The method is applicable for DC measurements of winding resistance of power transformers or measurements of a constant temperature of the object under step exposure to the sensor. This paper summarizes the development trends of this method of correction that is based on the iterative approach to the conversion of physical quantities. Three-point algorithm of the method of selected points is used as base algorithm for information processing. Maximum error of assessment of the asymptote of a transient response in a measuring circuit described by a first-order circuit is analyzed.","PeriodicalId":416168,"journal":{"name":"2014 3rd Mediterranean Conference on Embedded Computing (MECO)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120853740","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}

Lack of administrative information, risk of high failure rates are the most common factors that affect decision makers negatively regarding IT projects. Such unforeseen costs may increase total cost of ownership as compared to its initial estimation. Hence analyzing product life cycle and estimating total costs more accurately according to failure rates can decrease uncertainty and helps firms to make better decisions. This paper examines the relationship between time and failure rate of high-end IT products currently in use by industry. In line with the theoretical approach suggested in the literature, an implementation is made by empirical data and future failure rate is predicted by using Weibull distribution. Accuracy and precision results are compared with the existing studies. As a next step, a model is proposed to estimate the maintenance costs.","PeriodicalId":416168,"journal":{"name":"2014 3rd Mediterranean Conference on Embedded Computing (MECO)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127312593","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}
