However, the commonly used closed-loop solar trackers require sophisticated equipment that leads to high upfront costs and energy consumption. The literature suggests that simpler open-loop trackers can be sought as a feasible alternative for small-scale applications. In this study, an open-loop solar tracking mechanism was designed through the kinematic synthesis of a Watt II six-bar linkage using Freudenstein’s method and analytical position method. The desired motion of the mechanism was obtained using the solar apparent motion trajectory model. A finite number of precision points were selected using Chebyshev’s spacing to simplify the synthesis while minimizing the error. The design was validated through kinematic analysis using loop closure equations and complex number analysis. The position, velocity, and acceleration behaviors obtained from the numerical method done in MATLAB was compared to that of the graphical method done in MechAnalyzer. The synthesis results hint the special considerations needed in the physical implementation of the design, while the validation results show a general agreement between the results of the numerical and graphical kinematic analyses, implying the effectiveness of the presented methodology.","PeriodicalId":6733,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 11th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management ( HNICEM )","volume":"7 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":"79062029","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 mobile app is a map wherein you can track your current location, browse over the directories of the campus and trace the shortest and possible routes to your destination inside the university[1]. And to satisfy the users more, we added the News and Updates feature, to keep them updated on the latest events and happenings in the university [2]. The application is a navigation app, so we apply GPS to acquire location data. Since the map data from Mapbox is outdated and not detailed, we integrated an OpenStreetMap to enhance the map layout. Then through a local database, we stored the latitude, longitude, zoom, and bearing of each building to place a marker on their position.

The farming profitability can be achieved by the implementation of better management practices in conjunction with optimal shrimp feed management and growth monitoring. Manual measurement for shrimp growth on a large population is a tedious and difficult task. Underfeeding results to lower growth rate, and overfeeding results to environmental pollution. Automated, continuous, and non-invasive methods therefore such as computer vision are being increasingly employed. However, existing researches of vision-based measurement of growth parameters are not yet incorporated to shrimp feed management. This paper presented an Artificial Neural Network-based decision support system of classifying feed type whether starter, grower or finisher using area, length and weight derived from image processing techniques. The neural network was trained using scaled conjugate gradient back propagation. The decision support system exhibited promising results in feed type classification.","PeriodicalId":6733,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 11th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management ( HNICEM )","volume":"23 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":"88241292","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 study, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference (ANFIS) approach is used to determine the breakpoint set for directional overcurrent relays of a given 3-bus network. The two most influential input variables from 15 inputs affecting breakpoint set are determined by Exhaustive Search. The reduced inputs are then used to design the Sugeno type ANFIS.

Among the many draw solution recovery methods, the stimuli-response regeneration technique emerged to be one of the most promising in terms of energy efficiency. However, a material with an excellent capacity to absorb water would be needed for this type of process. This study investigated the water adsorption properties of 4-crosslinked polyacrylamide membrane (PAM) by means of density functional theory and Monte Carlo calculations for potential application in draw solution recovery. A geometrically optimized, stable, and energy minimized 4-crosslinked PAM model was prepared and allowed to be immersed to different amount of water molecules. The adsorption energies of water molecules on PAM were calculated. Results indicate that water molecules are most likely to be adsorbed on the amide groups of 4-crosslinked PAM. It was shown that the addition of lower number of water molecules had the highest probability of water molecules adsorbing on PAM. It was found that the 4-crosslinked PAM can adsorb a minimum of 75 and a maximum of 145 water molecules. Results of the study would be useful as a guide for the synthesis and further characterization of PAM for draw solution recovery in forward osmosis systems, specifically in microalgae dewatering.","PeriodicalId":6733,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 11th International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment, and Management ( HNICEM )","volume":"19 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":"87542419","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 project, Internet-of- Things were utilized to design an automatic waste segregation system. Specifically, we developed a trash bin equipped with sensors, which can intelligently segregate waste system that provides monitoring report of waste collection.

This study developed an assistive device for persons with hearing/speech impairment. The system was designed to interpret their signs or gesture into a corresponding message which were preloaded in the device. The device produced a voice-based message through the audio module and displays the message in LCD. This study was basically a glove based system and a microcontroller based system. Flex sensors, Gyroscope and Accelerometer were incorporated in a glove that can identify the sign language and an Arduino Nano microcontroller unit converted these gestures into voice and text output.

This work aims to supply power in Microsemi’s ZL70250, a wireless sensor network transceiver. Extraction of high DC voltage from rectifier block is always a serious bottleneck for energy harvesting. Consequently in this work, a simple mechanism to eliminate (Vth) of the MOS transistor by adding an auxiliary Pmos is proposed. Also, an additional capacitor (Cs) has been split into two capacitors that have been connected to the differential output. For analysis and comparison, the traditional and proposed voltage multiplier circuit is simulated and implemented with 3 stages with load capacitance of 100pF. The proposed voltage multiplier obtains a higher voltage conversion ratio (Gv) of 3.96, much higher than the reference voltage multiplier. The Gv and the generated boosted rectifier output voltage was obtained from 0.5V single PV. The modified architecture is integrated in indoor photovoltaic energy harvesting circuit.

There are three input variables and one output variable. Triangular Membership function (MF) was used to both variables, the Mamdani System was used in the Fuzzy Inference System, and to obtain the crisp output the centroid defuzzification was considered. The outcome scores show that only one section achieved satisfactory performance, and the rest are under poor performances, although the instructor had completed the course outline.
