However, it is still under development, which has led to its limited application, especially to hydraulic resources with low head and fluid velocity like the irrigation canal of the \"Centenario de la Revolucion Francisco J. Mugica\" dam, located in a ruralzone of the state of Michoacan, Mexico. To estimate the actual energy that this hydraulic resource can give, we proposed an energy conversion methodology that consists of three main steps: the evaluation of the hydraulic energy using the annual Flow Duration Curve of the canal, the numerical design of the ducted hydrokinetic turbine using experimental measurements and the selection of a low-velocity electrical generator. The designed hydrokinetic turbine was able to convert 78.53% of the hydraulic energy available into useful energy, which agriculture could use directly in rural areas.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":"23 1","pages":"58-67"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10810396","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142859233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing methods usually use additional detectors to extract objects in each frame, and use the object sequence within boxes as the network input. However, for training, they rely on additional detection annotations, and for inference, the multi-stage paradigm increases the burden of deployment on UAV terminals. Therefore, we propose a saliency-aware spatio-temporal network (SaStNet) for UAV-based action recognition in an end-to-end manner. Specifically, the short-term and long-term motion information are captured progressively. For short-term modeling, a saliency-guided enhancement module is designed to learn attention scores for weighting the original features aggregated within neighboring frames. For long-term modeling, informative regions are first adaptively concentrated using a saliency-guided aggregation module. Then, a spatio-temporal decoupling attention mechanism is designed to focus on spatially salient regions and capture temporal relationships within all frames. Integrating these modules into classical backbones encourages the network to focus on moving targets, reducing interference from background noises. Extensive experiments and ablation studies are conducted on UAV-Human, Drone action, and something-something datasets. Compared to state-of-the-art methods, SaStNet achieves a 5.7% accuracy improvement on the UAV-Human dataset using 8-frame inputs.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":"22 12","pages":"1026-1033"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10789633","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142810347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents a strong framework that employs machine learning algorithms to predict the useful life of rotating machine bearings by evaluating their vibration signals. In this approach, the raw vibration signal undergoes feature extraction through auxiliary methods, trend analysis through statistical methods, and time-dependent feature extraction through a specialized hybrid neural network algorithm. The architecture is composed of three distinct phases: Feature analysis, where the raw vibration data are processed to extract important characteristics for the definition of the signal trend creating a time series and Modeling, where the training data is processed in a hybrid convolutional neural network, which returns a degradation model aiming at estimating the instant of total failure. The neural network is also utilized to analyze test data and identify the moment just prior to the occurrence of failure; and finally the Prediction, phase where the future failure trend of the test data is identified, using the failure threshold extracted from the training data.

A degenerative brain disorder, dementia leads to cognitive decline, memory loss, impaired communication skills, reduced abilities, and shifts in personality and mood. Dementia lacks a definitive cure, but accurate diagnosis and treatment can improve the quality of life for those affected. Wandering behavior is common in patients, and a link between wandering patterns and the severity of the disease has been established. This work addresses the challenge of detecting dementia-related wandering behaviors. The proposed strategy utilizes data imputation methods and feature extraction with the Discrete Wavelet Transformation applied to a recently developed and comprehensive dataset. Machine learning algorithms are used to perform the final detection, and hyperparameter optimization is also evaluated.Experiments show that performance achieves an accuracy of approximately 98% using the Random Forest classifier. Results are competitive with the state-of-the-art in time series classification, with improved efficiency.

Addressing this requires a thorough analysis of solar resource data to identify viable solutions for these underserved areas. We evaluate the error in solar radiation data from a satellite image-based Random Forest (satellite RF) model by using data from IDEAM meteorological stations and NASA sources. By rigorously comparing these datasets, we aim to assess the reliability of predictive sources of solar radiation in the Amazon region. The results help establish confidence in various data sources, essential for utilizing estimated solar energy data in renewable energy research. We compared the data using the Relative Root Mean Squared Error (Relative RMSE). On the one hand, the relative RMSE between NASA and IDEAM ranges from 6.86% to 20.93%. On the other hand, the error between satellite RF model and IDEAM fluctuates between 6.56% and 12.33%. Similarly, the error between satellite RF model and NASA ranges from 4.80% to 15.27%. The findings indicate that the error in NASA data is higher compared to the error in satellite RF model data when benchmarked against IDEAM. Despite the limited number of meteorological stations and a maximum error of 20.93% between the two predictive data sources compared to ground-based observed data, we consider it reliable to use estimated solar radiation data for developing effective renewable energy solutions in remote locations.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":"22 12","pages":"1019-1025"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10789635","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142810353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ten subjects were tested during gait on a flat surface simulating 4 conditions of limited knee mobility with an active knee brace. Data on the amplitude of the electrical signal from 3 leg muscles were analyzed: rectus femoris, tibialis anterior, and gastrocnemius. In addition to the electromyography sensors, an angular position sensor was placed on the knee joint. An artificial neural network was trained to identify the type of limitation of each patient in their muscle activity. A knee orthosis with a linear actuator was designed to compensate for the loss of force during knee flexion-extension movement, according with limiting condition. The actuator trajectory is controlled through a model reference adaptive controller with a fuzzy logic-based adaptation mechanism. The simulation demonstrates the efficiency of this strategy, despite the high-amplitude disturbances in the system.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":"22 12","pages":"1063-1072"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10789627","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142810349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review examines the regulations related to radio frequency bands and analyzes ways to optimize radio space in the 2300-2400 MHz band in Colombia. The findings and recommendations serve as a reference for similar countries in Latin America. Based on the results, it is recommended to maintain a minimum distance of 100 meters between IMT base stations and Bluetooth and ZigBee systems. For WiFi, it is advisable to use channels higher than 5 or ensure a separation of at least 1 kilometer. Indoors, no special attention is required due to wall attenuation. A separation of around 5 MHz is necessary between the two bands in laboratory tests. This ensures that the interference effects of IMT towards WiFi or vice versa stay within the acceptable limits of PER. The guard band should be established with respect to the LTE signal, which is the most restrictive case, and serves as the reference signal. In connection with band 40 of LTE, the guard band will be 0.6 MHz and 0.8 MHz with respect to the WLAN signal.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":"22 12","pages":"1073-1083"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10789634","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142810343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
