In the mobile communication via satellite, received systems are mounted on the mobile device such as ship, train, car or airplane. In order to receive continuous signals, received antenna system must be steered in both the azimuthal and elevation angle to track a satellite. This paper proposes the improved step-tracking algorithm using for mobile receiver system via satellite Vinasat I. This paper also presents the results of study, design and manufacture of the discrete-time controller system for the fast tracking of a satellite by applying an improved step tracking algorithm with fuzzy proportional integral derivative proportional integral derivative controller. Simulated and experimental results indicate that the system performances obtain from applying the improved step tracking algorithm and the fuzzy controller was better than traditional control systems.

Several challenges are associated with online based learning systems, the most important of which is the lack of student motivation in various course materials and for various course activities. Further, it is important to identify student who are at risk of failing to complete the course on time. The existing models applied machine learning approach for solving it. However, these models are not efficient as they are trained using legacy data and also failed to address imbalanced data issues for both training and testing the classification approach. Further, they are not efficient for classifying new courses. For overcoming these research challenges, this work presented a novel design by training the learning model for identifying risk using current courses. Further, we present an XGBoost classification algorithm that can classify risk for new courses. Experiments are conducted to evaluate performance of proposed model. The outcome shows the proposed model attain significant performance over stat-of-art model in terms of ROC, F-measure, Precision and Recall.

Time of Use tariff is introduced to motivate users to change their electricity usage pattern. Commonly the tariff is high during peak hours and relatively low during off peak hours, to encourage users to reduce consumption during peak hours or shift it to off-peak hours. This tariff scheme provides opportunities for building owners to reduce their electricity bill provided that their electricity usage patterns of various spaces in that building at every hour are known. In practice, the kWh meter installed by the utility can only provide the overall hourly electricity consumption pattern. To know the usage pattern of different spaces or rooms, separate individual meter need to be installed in each space/room, which is costly and impractical. This paper presented the disaggregated electricity bill method based on user utilization factor and time of use (ToU) tariff. It estimates hourly electricity bill of each appliance at each space/room. Utilization factor is used to represent the electricity usage behavior of the occupants. The proposed method is applied on practical load profile data of a university building.

Low-Density-Parity-Check (LDPC) code has become famous in communications systems for error correction, as an advantage of the robust performance in correcting errors and the ability to meet all the requirements of the 5G system. However, the mot challenge faced researchers is the hardware implementation, because of higher complexity and long run-time. In this paper, an efficient and optimum design for log domain decoder has been implemented using Xilinx system generator with FPGA device Kintex 7 (XC7K325T-2FFG900C). Results confirm that the proposed decoder gives a Bit Error Rate (BER) very closed to theory calculations which illustrate that this decoder is suitable for next generation demand which needs high data rate with very low BER.

In this paper a new technique is presented to improve the jitter performance of conventional phase frequency detectors by completely removing the unnecessary one-shot pulse. This technique uses a variable pulse-height circuit to control the unnecessary one-shot pulse height. In addition, a novel charge-pump circuit with perfect current-matching characteristics is used to improve the output jitter performance of conventional charge pumps. This circuit is composed of a pair of symmetrical pump circuits to obtain a good current matching. As a result, the proposed charge-pump circuit has perfect current-matching characteristics, wide output range, no glitch output current, and no jump output voltage. In order to verify such operation, circuit simulation is performed using 0.18 μm CMOS process parameters.

This paper proposes soft computing technique Big Bang-Big Crunch (BB-BC) to address the main issue of deployment of wireless sensor networks. Deployment is the main factor that significantly affects the performance of the wireless sensor network. This approach maximizes the coverage area of the given set of sensors. We implemented our approach in MATLAB and compared it with ABC approach and found that the proposed approach is much better than the said approach.

Comparison of voltage vector control in various forms of tetrahedron that result from switching combination on three-phase four-leg system active filter is presented especially asymmetric tetrahedron shape which is a projection pqr-coordinate into αβ0-coordinate. Parameter tetrahedrons such as modulation boundary-line, reference vector, switching duration time and duty cycle are described. Duty cycle analysis conducted on the Shen’s model, the Zhang’s model, the Perales’s model and asymmetric’s model are presented. The characteristics results showed that switching combination of each IGBT conductor especially its reviews on the neutral wire. Asymmetric tetrahedron can be proposed as control technique in three-phase four-leg system active filter.

The objective of this paper is to develop an educational toolbox using GUI for analysis of transformers for students and lecturers. GUI figure file is developed for Open Circuit & Short Circuit Test, Sumpner’s Test, All day efficiency (Energy efficiency) of transformer and parallel operation of two transformers. All this kinds of problems consists of various methods of mathematical calculation which is difficult to perform by using manual calculation (formula and calculator). The existence of this educational toolbox will help the user to calculate the parameter hence the calculation become faster and easier. The user can enter the data and obtained the results quickly in the form of data or figures. The students can also observe the effect of variation of input parameters on performance of transformer. This educational toolbox was developed by using MATLAB software.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v4i3.5213

A baby feels uncomfortable in a wet diaper and it can cause health issues such as diaper rash. Diaper rash can be avoided by changing the diaper as soon as the baby urinates or passes stool. In this project, a smart wearable gadget is developed which sends an automatic notification to a caregiver’s smartphone whenever the baby urinates. The proposed wearable detects urination event noninvasively by sensing the temperature rise on the outer surface of the diaper and quantifies the event using a decision tree and a midpoint based k-nearest neighbor (KNN) hybrid classification algorithm. The gadget is a small size, low power, low cost and reusable electronic device that is attached externally to the outer surface of the diaper. The gadget can be used with any disposable diaper, thus no change in the diaper production process or price increase is required. The smartphone app shows the diaper change urgency score and logs all the urination events. This record can facilitate treating diseases where accurate records of urination are required. A prototype of the hardware gadget and a smartphone app is developed and tested.

In a rail gun system the armature accelerated due to the Lorentz force caused by the current which is diffused in to the rails. The entire system depends on the inductance gradient of the rail which is directly connected to the accelerating performance and efficiency of railgun. Hence, the exact analysis of inductance gradient is extremely significant for the railgun design. Since short duration of current pulse is applied to the rails determination of inductance gradient is very difficult. The inductance gradient varies with the geometric dimensions of the rails and armature. And it can be calculated with analytical method and numerical methods. In this paper inductance gradient of the rail has been computed and compared with the different rail cross-sectional models using Ansoft Maxwell Eddy current solver uses finite element technique to calculate the field distribution in a space. The current density, magnetic flux density, repulsive force acting on the rails also computed to analyze the performance of rail gun.
