Flat-quasi type of linear permanent magnet generators (LPMGs) have been considered to be applied for several applications, such for wave energy conversion and free piston combustion engine. One of the important issues concerning LPMG is the permanent magnets configuration, due to its effects to the generator’s excitation performance. In this paper, a 1 kW flat-quasi LPMG would be designed and built. During the process, optimum permanent magnets configuration was required and researched. The optimum configuration considered the output power and resulted cogging force. Invetigation was then conducted by modifying several variables, including poles’ arrangement, pole length, number of pole, and pole skewing angle. The modification constraints were total permanent magnets’ volume and generator dimension. The results showed that permanent magnet configuration with halbach arrangement, pole length equals 55% of the slot pitch length, and 61.19o skewing angle produced the optimum output values.

Weak features of ultrasonicnondestructive test signals are usually immersed in noisy signals. So, in this paper, we proposed an improved scheme for noise reduction and feature extraction based on discrete wavelet transform. The basis of the mother wavelet was selected to be matched to a given signal. Three different constraints were presented to minimize the error between the denoised and the given signal. It should be mentioned that such an optimum wavelet can represent the signal more compactly with a few large coefficients which can be considered as the signal features. Standard signals and simulated ultrasonic echo were used to evaluate the performance of the presented algorithms. Signal to error ratio was used to compare the designed wavelet performance with that of standard wavelets. Simulation results revealed that the proposed method outperformed the other presented methods and even standard wavelets. The results also has shown that the signal-based noise reduction algorithms make the feature extraction more reliable. Finally, the performance of the proposed algorithm was compared with other methods from different literatures.

Increasing power consumption in information and communication access networks is one of the major cause of greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions are harmful to life on earth. Passive Optical Networks (PONs) are energy efficient but the broadcast nature of downstream traffic may cause of huge unnecessary processing of frames by the optical network units and result in significant energy wastage. Bi-PON technique tried to solve this problem by changing the XGPON / GPON frame structure to an interleaved pattern but also required additional hardware changings at the optical network units. In this study, we have tried to achieve the same objective by making a few changings in the GPON frame structure without modifying the existing hardware structure. The simulation results show that 25.25% processing energy of an ONU can be saved by incorporating these changes.

In indoor environment WSN nodes are deployed randomly and do not know the accurate position. Find the node position with the help of anchor nodes is known as localization. CRB algorithm selects the best anchor nodes which gives high accuracy. In this paper distributed PSO algorithm with optimum selection of reference nodes using CRB is proposed to find accurate node position. The proposed method performs better in comparison with other algorithms like PSO, RLS, LMS and GPS in terms of position accuracy, latency and complexity.

In content-based image retrieval, relevant feedback is studied extensively to narrow the gap between low-level image feature and high-level semantic concept. In general, relevance feedback aims to improve the retrieval performance by learning with user's judgements on the retrieval results. Despite widespread interest, but feedback related technologies are often faced with a few limitations. One of the most obvious limitations is often requiring the user to repeat a number of steps before obtaining the improved search results. This makes the process inefficient and tedious search for the online applications. In this paper, a effective feedback related scheme for content-based image retrieval is proposed. First, a decision boundary is learned via Support Vector Machine to filter the images in the database. Then, a ranking function for selecting the most informative samples will be calculated by defining a novel criterion that considers both the scores of Support Vector Machine function and similaritymetric between the "ideal query" and the images in the database. The experimental results on standard datasets have showed the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents an optimal energy management for PV/battery stand-alone system. The system comprises photovoltaic array, battery, inverter and AC loads. PV array is an uncontrollable source due to the variations in irradiations and temperature. To deliver the highest point to the load a maximum power point tracking technique is used. In synchronization with battery bank the system becomes controllable. Modes of operation of the system are defined by the battery bank. Modes of operation are based on the difference between supply and load demand. This paper project proposes an optimal energy management strategy to improve the performance of the PV system. The anticipated system performance is evaluated for varying loads in MATLAB/simulink.

Virtual Reality is a computer-generated, mock environment that can allow people to interact with it in a seemingly real way by using certain types of specialized equipment. It is mainly used for training or educational purposes and allows for “real-life” training in a safe and monitored environment. Virtual training can be used in many different fields such as medical, military, biomedical research, aviation, and many others. However, this paper reviews the most cited publications related to the application of virtual reality for training in the United States Military. As a result, researchers can find research venues based on the challenges, risk, and infrastructures.

In general, the compression method is developed to reduce the redundancy of data. This study uses a different approach to embed some bits of datum in image data into other datum using a Reversible Low Contrast Mapping (RLCM) transformation. Besides using the RLCM for embedding, this method also applies the properties of RLCM to compress the datum before it is embedded. In its algorithm, the proposed method engages Queue and Recursive Indexing. The algorithm encodes the data in a cyclic manner. In contrast to RLCM, the proposed method is a coding method as Huffman coding. This research uses publicly available image data to examine the proposed method. For all testing images, the proposed method has higher compression ratio than the Huffman coding.

Every student has their own learning style. Some students may prefer to read the learning material while some other students may prefer to discuss with their colleagues to help them understanding the information more effectively. One of the learning materials is Unified Modeling Language or UML. UML is an industry standard language to specify, visualize, construct, and document the artifacts of software systems. Today, many UML online learning sites are designed to give added information to students other than face-to-face interaction in the classroom. However, most of UML materials provided by the online learning resources are limited to text-based material which is suitable only for students with verbal learning styles. This research aims to identify and analyze the needs before developing a prototype of an adaptive online module. The research is also driven by the need to develop a prototype of adaptive online module that is based on the student's learning style categories in order to help students understand UML better. The result of this research is a prototype of adaptive online module which will identify students' learning styles and lead the students to learning environment that suits their learning style.
