In the world, roughly more than 3 million people are affected by muscle power loss diseases which cause lack of communication. Further, this lack of communication is a severe problem with hunger and stress, which sometimes proves to be fatal. It is essential to monitor physical parameters such as hunger and mental stress of the patient. To observe hunger and stress, galvanic skin response (GSR) sensor is a most preferred method because it measures the conductance of skin due to sweating. We have designed new hunger and stress monitoring system (HS-MS) that helps patients and their caretakers to monitor stress and hunger level. HS-MS is two electrodes system that attaches to two fingers (index and middle) of the patient and monitors starvation and tension. According to the response of the sensor, caretakers can identify hunger and even the mental stress conditions of the patient. In all, 35 patients were examined using HS-MS system and 20 of them were used as a control. Overall system accuracy was found out to be 86.6% and response time of HS-MS 5 seconds. Sensitivity with respect to hunger and stress was about 99.9% and 73.3% respectively. Thus HS-MS can be identified as a helpful tool to provide comfort to the patient easily and can be used in hospitals or homes with lonely elderly people.

Ku-Band signal is often used for satellite communication mainly for direct to home (DTH) broadcasting. One of the major issues using this band is that the signal will be affected by raindrops. Raindrops absorb and scatter signal that operates at a frequency of more than 10 GHz. However, studies have been done to predict and measure the rainfall rate and rain attenuation. The rain attenuation in Ku-Band range and the rain rate were measured at satellite receiving dish, pointed towards the orbital slot 91.5 E over a one-year period in 2013. The cumulative distribution of rain rate obtained as well as a cumulative distribution of rain attenuation obtained are presented and compared with the rain prediction models. The aim is to get the best model to be used for the purpose of software development. It was found out that the DAH prediction model is fairly equitable when compared to direct satellite dish receiving measurements in Malaysia. The model provided a suitable baseline in developing a user interface software for weather prediction.

Arithmetic unit is the most important component of modern embedded computer systems. Arithmetic unit generally includes floating point and fixed-point arithmetic operations and trigonometric functions. Multipliers units are the most important hardware structures in a complex arithmetic unit. With increase in chip frequency, the designer must be able to find the best set of trade-offs. The ability for faster computation is essential to achieve high performance in many DSP and Graphic processing algorithms and is why there is at least one dedicated Multiplier unit in all of the modern commercial DSP processors. Tremendous advances in VLSI technology over the past several years resulted in an increased need for high speed multipliers and compelled the designers to go for trade-offs among speed, power consumption and area. A novel modified booth multiplier design for high speed VLSI applications using pre-computation logic has been presented in this paper. The proposed architecture modeled using Verilog HDL, simulated using Cadence NCSIM and synthesized using Cadence RTL Compiler with 65nm TSMC library.The proposed multiplier architecture is compared with the existing multipliers and the results show significant improvement in speed and power dissipation.

This paper presents the evaluation of AdBlock technique implementation for enterprise network environment. This study has presented the impact of web browsing activities where it is the most active traffic where is consumed the highest inbound bandwidth usage in enterprise network environment. We can conclude that DNS AdBlock is the best solution for enterprise network environment in term of blocking advertisement compare to extension adblock. Adblock technique also reduce network data request by comparing front-end solution (browser extension AdBlock) at client web browser and networks level adblock. The parameters such as HTTP request, TCP connection and network bandwidth are being examined to measure the effectiveness of blocking online advertisement. Both techniques perform the reduction of traffics and bandwidth utilization. The result shows that DNS AdBlock is the most effective in blocking online advertisement using the examined parameters. DNS AdBlock can sustain the usage of web browsing activity for enterprise network and also generate substantial saving across several fonts. This study has identified current web browsing trends traffic in enterprise network where it consumed 50 percent in average. This number increased when industries are moving to cloud web-based consumption. However, industries such as educational sector, web browsing traffic is one of connectivity that enterprises network should be investing to support openness and heavy traffic from educational users.

A magnetorheological brake (MRB) is a device to dissipate rotational energy using magnetorheological fluids (MRF). MRB can change its braking torque quickly in response to external magnetic field strength. The brake is rotational, utilizing the MRF in shear mode. In this study, the geometrical design of the MRB, magnetic circuit and MRF flow path is addressed. Mathematical models are presented that describe the braking torque of the MRB. A novel prototype is introduced combining T-shape rotor model with serpentine flux magnetic circuit configuration. The rotor member is selected to direct the flux concentration at that location. Serpentine flux configuration is selected to achieve higher torque without increasing the size of MRB by activated more surface area of MRF with the magnetic flux. The finite element method is used to evaluate the magnetic flux density in MRB using FEMM 4.2. FEMM results showed that this novel design could provide sufficient magnetic flux along MRF flow path. Finally, the influence of input current to the MRB on braking torque is investigated. It is found that the braking torque in MRB increases with the increase of the input current. The prototype is formulated as foot-drop prevention orthotic. The MRB would be further integrated into ankle-foot orthoses for post-stroke patients. The design is formulated as a preliminary geometrical design, aiming to obtain the minimum required braking torque.

The rapid development of internet and network technology followed by malicious threats and attacks on networks and computers. Intrusion detection system (IDS) was developed to solve that problems. The development of IDS using machine learning is needed for classifying the attacks. One method of the classification is Self-Organizing Map (SOM). SOM able to perform classification and visualization in learning process to gain new knowledge. However, the SOM has less efficient in learning process when applied in Big Data. This study proposes Restricted Growing SOM method with clustering reference vector (RGSOM-CRV) and Parallel RGSOM-CRV to improve SOM efficiency in classification with accuracy consideration to solve Big Data problem. Growing process in RGSOM is restricted by maximum nodes and growing threshold, the reupdate weight process will update unused reference vector when map size already maximum, these two processes solve the consuming time of regular GSOM. From the results of this research against KDD Cup 1999 dataset, proposed method Parallel RGSOM-CRV able to give 91.86% accuracy, 20.58% false alarm rate, 95.32% recall or detection rate, and precision is 94.35% and time consuming is outperform than regular Growing SOM. This proposed method is very promising to handle big data problems compared with other methods.

Reducing electric field stress near the energised end of surge arresters is very important because it may increase the lifetime of the highly stressed ZnO column in vicinity of the high voltage electrode. Most of previous works were based on manufacturers’ procedures and trial and error method to improve the surge arrester designs. In this work, optimisation of ZnO surge arrester design models using Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) and Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) is proposed. The surge arrester models were developed using finite element analysis (FEA) and used to determine the electric field distribution. The optimisation methods were used to determine the arrester design parameters which yield the minimum electric field stress surrounding the energized end of the surge arresters. GSA is less complex since it requires only two parameters to be adjusted i.e. mass and velocity while ICA demonstrates faster convergence and better achievement of global optimum. The performance of the proposed methods was then compared with the manufacturer’s test data and previously developed methods.

In the present study, hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanorod structure were grown on fluorine doped tin oxide coated glass substrate via sonicated immersion approach with variation of annealing temperature (350˚C – 600˚C) in one-hour treatment. The impact of varying the temperature of annealing treatment on crystalline phase, structure morphology, optical properties and humidity sensing performance of hematite were examined. X-ray diffraction pattern disclosed a rhombohedral structure with α-phase diffraction peaks. The surface morphology images taken from field emission scanning electron microscopy revealed that the hematite nanorod arrays were grown uniformly in all samples and the average diameters of nanorods were measured in the ranges between 55 and 80 nm. Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy measurement spectra show that all samples exhibited good optical properties. The hematite humidity sensor sample annealed at 400°C has demonstrated the highest sensitivity response (S=177.78) to humidity range between 40%RH to 90%RH.

The atmospheric air pollution is a major concern in modern cities, especially in developing countries like Malaysia. In this paper, we have reported an effective implementation for Internet of Things used for monitoring the level of air pollution based on Malaysia Air Pollution Index (API). The low-cost and real time system would be able to monitor regular air quality pollutants including Particulate Matter (PM) of PM2.5, PM10 and Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas as well as the temperatures and humidity of the surroundings. The system has capability to detect Good, Moderate, Unhealthy, Very Unhealthy and Hazardous API status. Based on 5 weeks of experimental API monitoring result on specified test location, the system was able to demonstrate promising results in providing a reliable real time monitoring of the air quality condition.
