Since the operation of avionics and flight control systems in an aircraft are provided by electrical power, advances in the efficiency of electric power generators has become inevitable. In the early times, the demand for electrical energy of aircraft engines was provided by wind generators. Electrical generators regulate the quality of energy use in the aircraft. In this context, an integrated drive generator is investigated from the efficiency point of view. As a main electricity supplier in aircraft applications, the investigation of this unit is carried out based on various design parameters such as dimension and the use of magnetic material. The optimization of the generator unit is provided by using the finite element method, with the consideration of a selected reference model.","PeriodicalId":6611,"journal":{"name":"2019 11th International Conference on Electrical and Electronics Engineering (ELECO)","volume":"11 1","pages":"1007-1011"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84900922","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}

HQAM optimizes the assignment of code words to points in the form of a hexagonal constellation to minimize the average Hamming distance. This arrangement always uses energy more effectively than conventional quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and performs almost the same performance as QAM at higher SNRs. Besides, as it is known, SM is a promising MIMO technique for next-generation communication techniques, which carry data both with antenna and conventionally modulated symbols. In this study, a more energy-efficient system is proposed compared to the conventional SM, in which SM will carry data with HQAM instead of carrying data with conventional modulated symbols in addition to antenna index. The performance analysis of the proposed HQAM-SM system was performed on Rayleigh fading channels.","PeriodicalId":6611,"journal":{"name":"2019 11th International Conference on Electrical and Electronics Engineering (ELECO)","volume":"1 1","pages":"730-733"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76297127","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}

To increase the life quality of those people, we report a portable and user-friendly smartphone-based platform capable of generating captions and text descriptions, including the option of a narrator, using image obtained from a smartphone camera. Image captioning is to generate a sentence to describe the visual content of an image in natural language and has attracted an increasing amount of attention in the fields of computer vision and natural language processing due to its potential applications. Generating image captions with proper linguistic properties is a challenging task as it needs to combine advanced level of image understanding algorithms with natural language processing methods. In this study, we propose to use Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model to generate a caption after images are trained using VGG16 deep learning architecture. The visual attributes of images are extracted with the VGG16, which conveys richer content, and then they are fed into the LSTM model for caption generation. This system is integrated with our custom- designed Android application, named as \"Eye of Horus\" which transfers the images from smartphone to the remote server via a cloud system, and displays the captions after the images are processed with the proposed captioning approach. The results show that the integrated platform has great potential to be used for image captioning by visually and hearing impaired people with advantages such as portability, simple operation and rapid response.","PeriodicalId":6611,"journal":{"name":"2019 11th International Conference on Electrical and Electronics Engineering (ELECO)","volume":"10 1","pages":"950-953"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73984321","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 system aims to provide automatic lateral control by taking into account the physical and steering constraints imposed by the vehicle. A processing unit obtains the lateral error relative to the lane center and heading angle error from the center of its lane. To provide a smooth and continuous steering wheel angle as well as fast computation, the vehicle’s kinematic and geometric models are unified and integrated with the controller of the system. The proposed control approach computes a steering wheel angle to track an ideal trajectory automatically. A proportional switching integral (PI) controller was implemented to control the vehicle speed. The path tracking algorithm is simulated for different vehicle speeds and curvy roads in TORCS (The Open Racing Car Simulator). The simulation results point out the effectiveness of the presented method, and indicate its wide practical application to self-steering and autonomous vehicles.","PeriodicalId":6611,"journal":{"name":"2019 11th International Conference on Electrical and Electronics Engineering (ELECO)","volume":"89 1","pages":"820-824"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77461986","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}
