As a matter of fact, 80% of the country’s total land area is vulnerable to such disasters. Due to this, the researchers thought of a way to help in search and rescue operations specifically with mudslide victims. The proposed system includes the use of pulse sensor to determine whether the person is alive or not, force-sensing resistors to determine if he/she is buried or above ground, Global Positioning System to determine his/her latest approximate location, and XBee Technology to send all collected data from the victim to the rescuers. The pulse sensor displays the pulse rate of the person in beats per minute so the rescuers may be able to monitor it. The last recorded pulse rate is shown along with the time it is recorded. There are four force-sensing resistors, two of which are placed in front and two at the back. These FSRs determine whether the person is buried when at least two of them have readings of more than 5 grams and that there are readings in both front and back. The working radius of the system is up to 305 feet, depending on how deep the vest was buried. A GPS Module sends the approximate location of the vest. The rescuers are also provided with an option to locate the coordinates in Google Earth, provided that there is an Internet Connection. In case the GPS cannot send signal anymore, e.g. there is a debris that blocks the GPS signal, the last known location will be recorded as well as the time it is sent. These equipment are placed inside a waterproof and rechargeable vest. The rescuers are also provided with a MATLAB graphical user interface.","PeriodicalId":6733,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 11th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management ( HNICEM )","volume":"9 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87502786","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}

Blockchain is like the Internet when we first knew of it. This new technology could revolutionize how we do everything. Seriously, everything. Think how the Internet changed our daily lives today. And just like that, we don’t really have to understand the technology behind it and be knowledge of its importance. But what makes this innovation revolution a bigger deal than Bitcoin and possibly even the Internet itself, are the exponential opportunities the concept provides. However, the potential to integrated Blockchain to Internet of Things (IoT) has constraint due to the required high computational power. IoT comprises of numerous platforms which have limited performance. Usually, these platforms cannot handle intensive procedures and often has scalability issues. In this paper, we give an overview of consensus algorithms and the necessity of this method to blockchain technology. Moreover, we focused on three of the utmost common consensus algorithms used in blockchain technology and explore their potential adaptation in an IoT framework with respect to its requirements.","PeriodicalId":6733,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 11th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management ( HNICEM )","volume":"59 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85653870","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 microscopic exam is needed to detect certain components present in urine such as Red blood cells, White blood cells, and crystals. Certain diseases can be seen in the urine through the form of urine crystals. The objective of the study is to detect the urine crystal present in the patient’s urine by image processing after undergoing centrifugation of the urine sample. A microscope was used with a Raspberry Pi 2 mounted on it and a Raspberry Pi camera placed on the eyepiece of the microscope to capture the image of the urine sediment. The process used the application of Harr feature. Adaptive Boosting was used before sending the data to the support vector machine. This study is limited in detecting the urine crystal provided by the medical laboratories in the country. The study will be important in the health sector specifically in detecting urinary tract abnormalities by classifying the type of crystal present in the urine. 30 sample urine images were done by the researchers. The testing gathered an accuracy of 90% when compared to the traditional urinalysis.","PeriodicalId":6733,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 11th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management ( HNICEM )","volume":"64 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79509375","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}

However, finding pulsars is not as easy as it seems because most of them have weak pulses that get drowned in the background noise and hence do not get detected. This paper presents a novel way of classifying radio emission patterns collected from a radio telescope whether it is from a pulsar or not through machine learning and genetic algorithm. The dataset was acquired from the High Time Resolution Universe (HTRU) survey two which contains eight numerical features and one target variable describing the pulse profile. Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) was applied to the dataset to fix the imbalance between classes. A genetic algorithm library was used to automatically select the best feature preprocessing method, feature selection/reduction technique, machine learning model inside the scikit-learn library, and hyperparameter settings. The genetic algorithm suggested using a single stack and multiple stack classifiers for different sets of features. The optimum level of hyperparameters was also given with the help of the same algorithm. The selected pipelines consistently reported a score of more than 99% in all the evaluation metrics used.","PeriodicalId":6733,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 11th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management ( HNICEM )","volume":"35 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79792677","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}

Its diverse composition allows it to float and suspend in clumps on the surface of its culture source – such as ponds with brackish water. However, it possesses a delicate structure wherein if introduced with even the slightest disruption it disperses back into individual microbial particles and loses surface tension in the process. Manually harvesting this type of algae poses many drawbacks and loses. In this study, an automated harvester is utilized to collect the algal mat since there is minimal disruptions developed by the machine. The biomass is drawn into the harvester due to the centrifugal pump, which is then collected through scoopers with a filter mesh. The gathered biomass is transported to the discharge side, ready to be processed for drying.","PeriodicalId":6733,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 11th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management ( HNICEM )","volume":"100 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82393712","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, the reduction of intra-coding complexity is proposed by utilization of Rate-Distortion Optimization (RDO) in preselecting a mode with the best RD cost, among all 35 intra-modes. Two cost functions – Sum of Absolute Difference (SAD) and Sum of Absolute Transform Difference (SATD, available in the HEVC Test Model (HM) Reference Software, are determined by making encoder decisions. This paper compares the performance and complexity cost of SAD only for intra-mode, with SATD-based intra-mode by modifying the HM reference encoder through forced selection of the mentioned modes. Results show that SAD consistently produces the least encoding time among all modes, along with sensible values of bitrate. Furthermore, error concealment was introduced in decoding the video sequences with the use of IEEE 802.22 Standard which only allowed power gains resulting to packet error rates (PER) ranging from 1% to 30% for the analysis on the behavior of each video sequence in an environment where error is introduced.","PeriodicalId":6733,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 11th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management ( HNICEM )","volume":"66 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72717137","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}

Several designed experiments were done to choose the best output attenuator and reference level. The spurious-free dynamic range parameter was used to characterize the said parameters. Then, to test the reliability of the concluded settings, the set-up was put into an actual manufacturing set-up. Also, an output power sweep was done to verify that the measured value is far from the compression and noise floor region. With these experiments and testing, the OIP3 measured in the ATE was observed to be far from the noise floor which indicates the measurement was not affected by the ATE’s OIP3. Also, it garnered a percentage error of 1.1377% with respect to the bench-top set-up. This percentage value means that the measured value is very near to the bench-top set-up value. Thus, it is proven that when the output attenuator and reference are fine tuned into a test set up, the resulting OIP3 value is accurate.","PeriodicalId":6733,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 11th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management ( HNICEM )","volume":"10 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76949664","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}

Maintenance and regular repairs are key roles in keeping the industry as efficient as possible. With maintenance, safety is paramount in order to prevent accidents and further delays in production. In order to tackle issues for inspecting hazardous and tight spaces, this study utilizes soft robotics technology in aiming to achieve an efficient and cost-effective means to safely inspect tight and hazardous spaces. Soft Robotics is a field in robotics that specializes in materials that are flexible and elastic. Their movements mimic movements that are often found in nature. The soft robotic arm that will be accomplished in this study is a soft robotic tentacle arm with a mounted camera for inspection. This is especially good in reaching places that have limited spaces. The soft robotic arm will be actuated pneumatically and will have an electronic pneumatic microcontroller for its activation. A minicamera will also be mounted on the tip of the robotic arm for the inspection system. With the results and data gathered, it shows that this system can effectively maneuver using its electronic pneumatic controllers.
