To prevent these accidents, we have developed the awakening behavior detection system using Neural Network. In this paper, it is a problem that the detection success rate of the current system using captured image in the clinical site is not enough. So, we analyze the captured image in the clinical site. From the result of the histogram analysis, it proves that the fluctuation of brightness quantity makes decrease the detection capability. Therefore, to decrease the influence of the brightness quantity, the histogram of the captured image should be equalized. Finally, we show that the histogram equalization reduces fluctuation of brightness quantity numerically.","PeriodicalId":6383,"journal":{"name":"2011 Fourth International Conference on Modeling, Simulation and Applied Optimization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79249941","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 RCEAT architecture consists of two main subsystems; PreRCEAT and PostRCEAT. The PreRCEAT subsystem is to detect any error in the incoming messages. Then the identification bit (ID) of the no error packet will be fed to the next subsystem. The PostRCEAT subsystem is to identify the tag by using the proposed Fast-search Lookup Table. The proposed system is designed using Verilog HDL. The system is simulated using Modelsim and synthesized using Xilinix Synthesis Technology. The system has been successfully implemented in hardware using Field Programmable Grid Array (FPGA) Virtex II. The output waveforms from the FPGA have been tested on the Tektronix Logic Analyzer for real time verification. Finally the RCEAT architecture is resynthesized using Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) technology for on-chip implementation. This technology consists of 0.18 μm Library, Synopsys Compiler and tools. From the hardware verification results, it shows that the proposed RCEAT system enables to identify the tags without error at the maximum operating frequency of 180MHz. The system consumes 7.578 mW powers, occupies 6,041 gates and 0.0375 mm2 area with Data arrival time of 2.31 ns.","PeriodicalId":6383,"journal":{"name":"2011 Fourth International Conference on Modeling, Simulation and Applied Optimization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75366535","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 effects of the temperature and pressure of binary systems on the molar volume of organic solvents have also been investigated. It is observed that by increasing the pressure of the system at a constant temperature, the molar volume of the liquid phase decreases, while at higher pressures a sudden volume expansion can lead to minimum molar volume of liquid phase and these conditions can be reported as a proper condition in producing micro and nanoparticles.","PeriodicalId":6383,"journal":{"name":"2011 Fourth International Conference on Modeling, Simulation and Applied Optimization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75747180","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}

This is due to the fact that many less developed countries rely on the revenues generated by the commodity exports. In this paper, the nonlinear relationship because of regime shifts in four vegetable oil price series was investigated. The multivariate Markov switching vector autoregressive (MS-VAR) model with regime shifts in both the mean and the variance was employed to capture common regime shifts behaviour among the four price series. Results revealed that all the series demonstrate common regime shifts trend of declining and increasing. In addition, the MS-VAR model fitted the data better than the linear vector autoregressive model (VAR).","PeriodicalId":6383,"journal":{"name":"2011 Fourth International Conference on Modeling, Simulation and Applied Optimization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75131293","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 order to ensure the product quality is at the desired specification, a good control system and good understanding on the dynamic behavior should be considered. The aims of this study are to develop empirical model of spray drying process and improve the process by implementation of PI controller. A nozzle atomizer spray dryer, Lab-Plant SD 05 Laboratory Scale Spray Dryer was used. The liquid feed was Sunquick Concentrated Orange Juice and DE 10–15 maltodextrin as the drying agent. The effects of inlet air temperature and maltodextrin concentration on final moisture content and outlet air temperature were investigated. From investigation, the effect of inlet air temperature on moisture content and outlet air temperature was greater than maltodextrin concentration. Thus, inlet air temperature was selected as manipulated variable. For modeling, the model obtained can be represented as first order process with time delay (FOPTD). In order to improve the process, the model obtained was used in simulation studies to determine the suitable tuning method by PI controller. The PI controllers were tuned by direct synthesis, min IAE method and Cohen-coon. From the observation, direct synthesis method is the most suitable tuning method for PI controller in spray drying process.","PeriodicalId":6383,"journal":{"name":"2011 Fourth International Conference on Modeling, Simulation and Applied Optimization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75498294","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}
