In this paper, we proposed a new approach to detect the arrival time of the earthquakes which is the main module in the EEWS. The proposed algorithm based on Fuzzy Possibilistic C-Means (FPCM) clustering algorithm. FPCM divide the signal into two groups, seismic noise, and seismic signal. The degrees of membership computed, and a Dual-thresholds system applied as a basis for classification to detect the arrival time accurately. The proposed algorithm has high accuracy on picking the arrival time of the earthquake. It achieved arrival time picking accuracy of 90.7 % with a standard deviation of 0.105 seconds for 407 field seismic waveforms. Also, the results show that the proposed algorithm can detect the arrival time for micro-earthquakes accurately despite the existence of low Signal to Noise ratio (SNR). The proposed algorithm can deal with the seismic signal with SNR as low as −10 dB.","PeriodicalId":434418,"journal":{"name":"2017 8th International Conference on Recent Advances in Space Technologies (RAST)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130055328","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 this purpose, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is utilized and the results are compared with two popular Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) tools namely, AHP and PROMETHEE. The results indicate that all applied methods ranked the same alternative as the best. However, such a strong consensus is not observed for the worst alternative.

This paper proposes an attitude estimation algorithm for spin satellites. The algorithm is loosely based on a filter proposed by Bar-Itzhack and Harman. Using a simple Kalman filter (KF) algorithm and only the magnetometer measurements, the spin axis and rate of the satellite are estimated. To improve the spin axis estimation accuracy the magnetometer measurements are corrected with a bias estimation algorithm. Two algorithms, the attitude filter and the magnetometer bias estimator, are integrated with a straightforward approach by merging them as a single KF algorithm. As a result, a pseudo-linear KF algorithm that estimates the spin parameters together with magnetometer bias terms is proposed. The algorithm is tested for a hypothetical nanosatellite via numerical simulations. The results are discussed in detail and suggestions for implementation of the algorithm are given.","PeriodicalId":434418,"journal":{"name":"2017 8th International Conference on Recent Advances in Space Technologies (RAST)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126469112","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}

In this paper, a recursive least squares (RLS) based prediction method is proposed for the lossless compression of ultraspectral data. Experiments are performed on 10 granule maps which are acquired by NASA's Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) system. The experimental results show that the proposed method provides comparable compression ratios to the-state-of-the-art-methods, i.e., ADQPCA and FSQPCA. Given its compression performance and lower complexity, the proposed method can be effectively implemented to embedded systems and it is well suited for onboard processing on satellites.","PeriodicalId":434418,"journal":{"name":"2017 8th International Conference on Recent Advances in Space Technologies (RAST)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114712897","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}

In robust design, optimum system design is sought with special emphasis on the insensitiveness of objective functions due to uncertainties. This study focuses on the robust design studies of vibration and shock isolation of sensitive electronic equipment. The performance of three types of isolators due to vibration and shock loading is analyzed. The methodology is based on minimizing the Root Mean Square (RMS) of the linear and angular vibrations and the Square Root of Sum of Squares (SRSS) of shock response. The variations for the inertial properties of the equipment, the material properties of viscoelastic isolators and the isolator locations with respect to the equipment mass center are considered as the noise variables. The electronic equipment to be isolated are modeled as a rigid body having 6 degrees of freedom. Signal to Noise (S/N) ratios of the linear acceleration and the angular velocity responses due to vibration loading, along with the (S/N) ratios of the linear acceleration and linear displacement responses due to shock loading are defined. The first order tolerance analysis is also performed to assess the sensitivities of responses to noise variables to determine the key variables for which the variations are to be reduced.","PeriodicalId":434418,"journal":{"name":"2017 8th International Conference on Recent Advances in Space Technologies (RAST)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123320970","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}
