This paper introduces a novel way of automating the diagnosis of cardiac disorders using an expert system developed on the basis of information derived from the analysis of Electrocardiogram (ECG) and also provides the online monitoring of cardiac patient. Cardiologists use ECG as a definitive indicator of the condition of the human heart using certain well-defined rules and their own experience to diagnose the condition of patient. The decision process is made systematic by developing a visualization tool using proven algorithm for processing the information contained in the typical ECG. The information can be of great help to a general practitioner, to identify the specific problem and start treatment without any delay. The proposed system provides a fast and effective diagnosis of the problem. This has been possible by encoding the expert knowledge and interfacing it with real time ECG available. The system has fast updating facility to track any rapid deterioration, if it occurs and is thus helpful to monitor patients in ICU.","PeriodicalId":439893,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Power, Control and Embedded Systems","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125433762","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}

A uniform fixed switching frequency method of current control for both AC/DC and DC/AC converter stages has been proposed. A multiple control loop is used to control the input AC current and DC link voltages of the AC/DC converter and a cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter (CHBMLI) is used to obtain the multilevel AC output voltage for the DC/AC inverter. The ramp comparison method of current control facilitates the fixed switching frequency operation of the converter to provide uniform switching cycle for all the switches of the AC/DC converter. A unipolar multi-carrier PWM has been used for the cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter to yield the uniform and fixed switching frequency operation for the DC/AC inverter. This also gives AC output wherein the switching components are shifted at higher frequency hence yield better quality output. The results are verified through the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation studies.","PeriodicalId":439893,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Power, Control and Embedded Systems","volume":"289 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114341367","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}

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are of the technologies presented recently that can be used in the intelligent transportation system field. In this paper, two different algorithms, the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and the Radial Basis Function (RBF) have been discussed. In the training of the ANNs, we use historic data. Then we use ANNs for forecasting a daily real time short-term traffic flow. The ANNs are trained by the Back-Propagation (BP) algorithm. The variable coefficients produced by temporal signals improve the performance of the BP algorithm. The temporal signals provide a new method of learning called Temporal Difference Back-Propagation (TDBP) learning. We demonstrate the capability and the performance of the TDBP learning method with the simulation results. The data of the two lane street I-494 in Minnesota city are used for this analysis.","PeriodicalId":439893,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Power, Control and Embedded Systems","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133056316","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}

These nonlinear loads in the DCVDS can be characterized as voltage source or current source type. The dominancy of both these types of load may vary with time. The performance of active power filter connected with the distribution system based on the total harmonic distortion (THD) of source current and load voltage depends upon whether the total load is voltage source or current source dominant, and also whether the active power filter is series or shunt type. In this paper, it has been shown that when the ratio between the load current due to the voltage source type and current source type increases, the load voltage THD improves by using series active power filter and if the ratio decreases, the load voltage THD improves by using shunt active power filter. The results are verified using simulations performed in PSCAD/EMTDC.","PeriodicalId":439893,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Power, Control and Embedded Systems","volume":"172 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116386091","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}

Proposed technique is capable of providing stable triggering even in the case of complex periodic waveforms category where commonly used level triggering scheme fail to perform adequately and may be used in problem of estimating many typical signal processing situations, such as Doppler estimation of radar and sonar returns, vibration measurements, geophysical data processing, and surveillance observations of the electromagnetic spectrum. For stable display of a signal in an oscilloscope, it must be triggered at its base frequency. In this technique, frequency of all harmonics present in test signal is retrieved using FFT and the base repetition rate of the signal is found by selecting the frequency of lowest harmonics present in the test signal. Numerous complex test waveforms are generated and their harmonic contents are analyzed in the virtual environment of LabVIEW™ software. To verify the efficacy of the proposed technique, it is implemented using LabVIEW™ software and PCI DAQ card. It is found that the proposed technique is equally effective in detecting the base repetition rate of complex as well as simple waveforms. Technique proposed in this paper would be of interest to instrumentation design engineers.","PeriodicalId":439893,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Power, Control and Embedded Systems","volume":"198 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116402301","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 robust MRAC is based on the estimation of the difference between the linear time-invariant model plant parameters and actual plant parameters that show nonlinearity and time varyingness. The approach used in this work is an extension of the approach commonly used to develop MRAC for a linear time-invariant plants. The boundedness of the signals and stability of the plant with the proposed robust MRAC in use are achieved by using Lyapunov's direct method. Simulation results are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed MRAC.","PeriodicalId":439893,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Power, Control and Embedded Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121033566","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}
