Abstract

Learning how to speak in order to communicate with others is part of growing up. Like a normal person, deaf and mutes also need to learn how to connect to the world they live in. For this purpose, an Electronic Glove or E-Glovewas developed as a teaching aid for the hearing impaired particularly children. E-Glove makes use ofthe American Sign Language (ASL) asthe basis for recognizing hand gestures. It was designed using flex sensors and an accelerometer to detect the degree of bend made by the fingers as well asa movement of the hand. E-Glove transmits the data received from the sensors wirelessly to a computer and then displays the letter or basic word that correspondsto a gesture made by the individual wearing it. E-Glove provides a simple, accurate, reliable, cheap, speedy gesture recognition and user-friendlyteaching aid for the instructors that are teaching sign language to the deaf and mute community.

Abstract

The traditional approach for quality assessment of rice is done by a human inspector manually which leads to inconsistencies and uncertainties in the assessment due to human error. To address this problem, researchers develop rice classification systems applying different methods. The development of these kinds of applications will contribute to the larger objective of maximizing the production of global food. This study introduced a new method of rice seed classification that applies hashing techniques pre-processing of image prediction and its precision rate is 93.06 percent, with a speed of 8.31 seconds per image. The developed application in this study was evaluated using ISO/IEC 25010 with total mean scores of 4.31 for functional suitability, 4.31 for performance efficiency, 4.58 for compatibility, 4.31 for usability, 4.58 for reliability, 4.51 for security, 4.28 for maintainability, and 4.42 for portability.

Abstract

Many diseases are associated with excess abdominal fat like cardiovascular diseases. Monitoring and controlling abdominal fat led to one of the many factors that can change the status of a person’s health. Awareness of the waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) can be a guide to adjusting to a person’s lifestyle and maintaining a normal WHtR value. This study developed the WHtR assessment device that automatically calculates the WHtR value, displays the health status, and suggests the ideal waist circumference. The device is composed of a microcontroller that interconnects the other components of the device. A touchscreen liquid crystal display component was used as an input and output unit at the same time. The several testing that was conducted revealed accurate WHtR value calculation. The device is effective in assessing the health status of all age groups. The ideal waist circumference from the device was compared to manual computation and found that the success rate is one hundred percent (100%).
