Testing embedded systems must be done carefully particularly in the significant regions of the embedded systems. Inputs from an embedded system can happen in multiple order and many relationships can exist among the input sequences. Consideration of the sequences and the relationships among the sequences is one of the most important considerations that must be tested to find the expected behavior of the embedded systems. On the other hand combinatorial approaches help determining fewer test cases that are quite enough to test the embedded systems exhaustively. In this paper, an Optimal Mining Technique that considers multi-input domain which is based on built-in combinatorial approaches has been presented. The method exploits multi-input sequences and the relationships that exist among multi-input vectors. The technique has been used for testing an embedded system that monitors and controls the temperature within the Nuclear reactors.

To analyze the performance of the PID controller in a buck type converter implemented in real time. We begin by designing a continuous controller using the analytical method for calculating PIDs. Pulse width modulation is then used and bifurcation diagrams analyzed to reveal some problems of switching and sampling time. The model converter is then implemented with a PID controller in dSPACE. The experimental results provide detailed requirements of sampling frequency and switching speed, and show the performance of the PID controller. Converters are used in power generation solar systems and conmuted power sources for feed telecommunication devices, smart grids, and other applications.

Difussion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) plays an important role in the diagnosis of brain stroke by providing detailed information regarding the soft tissue contrast in the brain organ. Conventionally, the differential diagnosis of brain stroke lesions is performed manually by professional neuroradiologists during a highly subjective and time- consuming process. This study proposes a segmentation and classification technique to detect brain stroke lesions based on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). The type of stroke lesions consists of acute ischemic, sub-acute ischemic, chronic ischemic and acute hemorrhage. For segmentation, fuzzy c-Means (FCM) and active contour is proposed to segment the lesion’s region. FCM is implemented with active contour to separate the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) with the hypointense lesion. Pre-processing is applied to the DWI for image normalization, background removal and image enhancement. The algorithm performance has been evaluated using Jaccard Index, Dice Coefficient (DC) and both false positive rate (FPR) and false negative rate (FNR). The average results for the Jaccard index, DC, FPR and FNR are 0.55, 0.68, 0.23 and 0.23, respectively. First statistical order method is applied to the segmentation result to obtain the features for the classifier input. For classification technique, bagged tree classifier is proposed to classify the type of stroke. The accuracy results for the classification is 90.8%. Based on the results, the proposed technique has potential to segment and classify brain stroke lesion from DWI images.

Now a day the power demand has a major problem for developing countries due to the growth of population, industries, IT companies and other needs. In this present situation the fossil fuel-based power generation alone does not support the consumer needs, poor power quality due to nonlinear function and very harmful for environment. The main objective of this paper is improving the power quality of grid connected photovoltaic power system through a new cascade H-bridge multilevel inverter. The proposed research work has been modelled and controlled by ANFIS intelligence in MATLAB simulation environment. The simulation results are analysed under various operating conditions for improve the performance of proposed system. Finally, the proposed system THD value of simulation results is compared with IEEE 1547 standard for prove the effectiveness of proposed research work.

Using an electrical approach in the field of agriculture can be considered as one of the solutions in order to control harmful flying insects. This technique is based on the use of a bio and selective electrical insecticide whose principle consists in attracting insects by the light then get them electrocuted by an electrical discharge. Moreover, There are several parameters that affect the selectivity of electrical insecticide such as: the light, the most efficient, the inter electrode distance, where the insect is exterminated, and the electric current that passes through the insect’s body. In this paper, a simulation study was carried out concerning the distribution of the electric field between two electrodes in presence of particle conductor while focusing on the different body sizes. On the other hand, an experimental study was conducted on live locusts to determine the effect of electrical current on insect’s body taking into account the voltage and frequency. Finally, the results are discussed and analyzed in this paper.

Spectrum efficiency of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based cognitive radio (CR) systems can be improved by adaptive resources allocation. In resources allocation, transmission resources such as modulation level and transmission power are adaptively assigned based on channel variations. The goal of this paper is maximize the total transmission rate of secondary user (SU). Hence, we investigate adaptive power and modulation allocation to achieve this purpose. For power allocation, we investigate optimal and conventional methods and then introduce a novel suboptimal algorithm to calculate the transmission power of each subcarrier. In addition, for adaptive modulation, we consider two kinds of modulations including multi-quadrature amplitude modulation (MQAM) and multi-phase-shift keying (MPSK). Also, simulation results are indicated the performance of our algorithm.

Traffic lights play such important role in traffic management to control the traffic on the road. Situation at traffic light area is getting worse especially in the event of emergency cases. During traffic congestion, it is difficult for emergency vehicle to cross the road which involves many junctions. This situation leads to unsafe conditions which may cause accident. An Automatic Traffic Light Controller for Emergency Vehicle is designed and developed to help emergency vehicle crossing the road at traffic light junction during emergency situation. This project used Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC) to program a priority-based traffic light controller for emergency vehicle. During emergency cases, emergency vehicle like ambulance can trigger the traffic light signal to change from red to green in order to make clearance for its path automatically. Using Radio Frequency (RF) the traffic light operation will turn back to normal when the ambulance finishes crossing the road. Result showed the design is capable to response within the range of 55 meters. This project was successfully designed, implemented and tested.

The power trading and ancillary services provision comprise technical and financial risks and therefore require a structured risk management. Focus in this paper is on financial risk management that is important for the system operator faces when providing and using ancillary services for balancing of power system. Risk on ancillary services portfolio is modeled through value at risk and conditional value at risk measures. The application of these risk measures in power system is given in detail to show how to using the risk concept in practice. Conditional value at risk optimization is analysed in the context of portfolio selection and how to apply this optimization for hedging a portfolio consisting of different types of ancillary services.

This paper presents performance analysis of Unified Power Quality Conditioner-Battery Energy Storage (UPQC-BES) system supplied by Photovoltaic (PV)-Wind Hybrid connected to three phase three wire (3P3W) of 380 volt (L-L) and 50 hertz distribution system. The performance of supply system is compared with two renewable energy (RE) sources i.e. PV and Wind, respectively. Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) is implemented to maintain DC voltage across the capacitor under disturbance scenarios of source and load as well as to compare the results with Proportional Intergral (PI) controller. There are six scenarios of disturbance i.e. (1) non-linear load (NL), (2) unbalance and nonlinear load (Unba-NL), (3) distortion supply and non-linear load (Dis-NL), (4) sag and non-linear load (Sag-NL), (5) swell and non-linear load (Swell-NL), and (6) interruption and non-linear load (Inter-NL). In disturbance scenario 1 to 5, implementation of FLC on UPQC-BES system supplied by three RE sources is able to obtain average THD of load voltage/source current slightly better than PI. Furthermore under scenario 6, FLC applied on UPQC-BES system supplied by three RE sources gives significantly better result of average THD of load voltage/source current than PI. This research is simulated using Matlab/Simulink.

Today, the surveillance systems and other monitoring systems are considering the capturing of image sequences in a single frame. The captured images can be combined to get the mosaiced image or combined image sequence. But the captured image may have quality issues like brightness issue, alignment issue (correlation issue), resolution issue, manual image registration issue etc. The existing technique like cross correlation can offer better image mosaicing but faces brightness issue in mosaicing. Thus, this paper introduces two different methods for mosaicing i.e., (a) Sliding Window Module (SWM) based Color Image Mosaicing (CIM) and (b) Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) based CIM on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The SWM based CIM adopted for corner detection of two images and perform the automatic image registration while DCT based CIM aligns both the local as well as global alignment of images by using phase correlation approach. Finally, these two methods performances are analyzed by comparing with parameters like PSNR, MSE, device utilization and execution time. From the analysis it is concluded that the DCT based CIM can offers significant results than SWM based CIM.
