Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (LVCSR), which is characterized by a high variability of the speech, is the most challenging task in automatic speech recognition (ASR). Believing that the evaluation of ASR systems on relevant and common speech corpora is one of the key factors that help accelerating research, we present, in this paper, a benchmark comparison of the performances of the current state-of-the-art LVCSR systems over different speech recognition tasks. Furthermore, we put objectively into evidence the best performing technologies and the best accuracy achieved so far in each task. The benchmarks have shown that the Deep Neural Networks and Convolutional Neural Networks have proven their efficiency on several LVCSR tasks by outperforming the traditional Hidden Markov Models and Guaussian Mixture Models. They have also shown that despite the satisfying performances in some LVCSR tasks, the problem of large-vocabulary speech recognition is far from being solved in some others, where more research efforts are still needed.

In this paper hybrid method, Modified Nondominated Sorted Genetic Algorithm (MNSGA-II) and Modified Population Variant Differential Evolution(MPVDE) have been placed in effect in achieving the best optimal solution of Multiobjective economic emission load dispatch optimization problem. In this technique latter, one is used to enforce the assigned percent of the population and the remaining with the former one. To overcome the premature convergence in an optimization problem diversity preserving operator is employed, from the tradeoff curve the best optimal solution is predicted using fuzzy set theory. This methodology validated on IEEE 30 bus test system with six generators, IEEE 118 bus test system with fourteen generators and with a forty generators test system. The solutions are dissimilitude with the existing metaheuristic methods like Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm-II, Multiobjective differential evolution, Multi-objective Particle Swarm optimization, Fuzzy clustering particle swarm optimization, Nondominated sorting genetic algorithm-II.

The consequence of disproportionate distribution and placement of Doctor in Indonesia is affecting people who live in rural area. Patient have to travel to city to receive medical treatment and must encounter another different problem such as: patients often have to wait a long time in the doctor's office even sometimes do not get the service because of holiday or rejected because the queue is full. Medical record in some cases may lost due in Indonesia mostly medical record recorded manually (paper based). Therefore doctor treatment is not optimal because doctor can no longer inspect patient illness history and any treatment that have been conducted before. This research proposes a new concept to help people who live in rural area to get better medical treatment. People could register and monitor doctor service queue via smart phone. System expanded with medical record management facilities to improve service quality of patient. Research object was doctor service in Sulawesi, Indonesia. This research indicates system could increase time efficiency, energy, and cost efficiency for patient and also the doctor. Additionally current system will be optimal if supported with stable internet network.

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.

Generally, for remote places extension of grid is uneconomical and difficult. Off-grid hybrid power systems (OGHPS) has renewable energy sources integrated with conventional sources. OGHPS is very significant as it is the only source of electric supply for remote areas. OGHPS under study has Induction generator (IG) for wind power generation, Photo-Voltaic source with inverter, Synchronous generator (SG) for Diesel Engine (DE) and load. Over-rated PV-inverter has capacity to supply reactive power. SG of DE has Automatic voltage regulator for excitation control to regulate terminal voltage. Load and IG demands reactive power, causes reactive power imbalance hence voltage fluctuations in OGHPS. To manage reactive power for voltage control, two control structures with Proportional–Integral controller(PI), to control inverter reactive power and SG excitation by automatic voltage regulator are incorporated. Improper tuning of controllers lead to oscillatory and sluggish response. Hence in this test system both controllers need to be tune optimally. This paper proposes novel intelligent computing algorithm , Enhanced Bacterial forging algorithm (EBFA) for optimal reactive power controller for voltage control in OGHPS. Small signal model of OGHPS with proposed controller is tested for different disturbances. simulation results are compared with conventional method , proved the effectiveness of EBFA.

Audio, image and video signals produce a vast amount of data. The only solution of this problem is to compress data before storage and transmission. In general there is the three crucial terms as, Bit Rate Reduction, Fast Data Transfer and Reduction in Storage. Rate control is a vigorous factor in video coding. In video communications, rate control must ensure the coded bitstream can be transmitted effectively and make full use of the narrow bandwidth. There are various test models usually suggested by a standard during the development of video codes models in order to video coding which should be suffienciently be efficient based on H.264 at very low bit rate. These models are Test Model Number 5 (TMN5), Test Model Number 8 for H.263, and Verification Model 8 (VM8) for MPEG-4 and H.264 etc. In this work, Rate control analysis for H.264, MPEG-4 performed. For Rate control analysis test model verification model version 8.0 is adopted.

In recent years, the use of high brightness LEDs has become increasingly accepted as light sources in mainstream vehicles. However, they are semiconductor devices and their electrical characteristics are completely different to the traditional lamps. The output luminous flux of an LED is determined by the forward current running through it. Hence they cannot be powered directly from the automotive battery using the conventional driving techniques. They require specialised driving circuits which can respond to the changing needs of the LEDs as their electrical properties change, while maintaining the uniform brightness. This paper discusses the importance of dimming for LED based automotive lighting applications. A boost type DC-DC switching converter with pulse width modulated (PWM) dimming control has been proposed. MATLAB/Simulink simulation package has been used to verify the theoretical predictions hence to provide a useful guide for design engineers and researchers.

In this paper, the performance of Linear Antenna Array Element (LAAE) has been evaluated at the Base Station (BS) with a different number of elements for Unmanned Air Vehicle UAV application. The Switched Beam (SB) and Phase Array (PA) have been used as a steering beam mechanism. The beam steering tracker is based on the GPS points of the UAV and the BS. In addition, the Misalignment angle has been analyzed for SB and PA corresponding to the maximum speed of the UAV. The compression between SB and PA in term of Bit Error Rate (BER) vs. Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and BER vs. Misalignment angle have been examined by using Matlab. The results show that the PA has better performance than SB in both terms under Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel with an interference signal. When the number of the elements is eight provides longer distance than four by the factor (1.5 in SB case and 2 in PA case) and wider Misalignment angle range than twelve by factor (2 in SW case and 3 in PA case). Therefore, it is becoming a useful option for many applications.
