KOH wet etching is widely used in realizing MEMS diaphragm due to its low cost, safe and easy handling. However, wet etching process parameters need to be studied thoroughly in order to realize the desired shape and size of MEMS devices. This paper presents the numerical study and optimization of KOH etching process parameters using the response surface method (RSM). Face central composite design (FCC) of RSM was employed as the experimental design to analyze the result and generate a mathematical prediction model. From the analysis, the temperature was identified as the most significant process parameter that affects the etching rate, thus affecting the thickness and size of the diaphragm. The results of RSM prediction for optimization were applied in this study. Particularly, 45% of KOH concentration, temperature of 80°C, 1735 µm2 of mask size, and 7.2 hours of etching time were implemented to obtain a square MEMS diaphragm with thickness of 120 µm and size of 1200 µm2. The results of RSM based optimization method for KOH wet etching offers a quick and effective method for realizing a desired MEMS device.

Global Solar Radiation (GSR) data is important for all solar energy based applications, mainly to forecast the output power of solar PV system in case of renewable energy integration in to the existing grid. The solar radiation components are measured using pyranometer, solarimeter, pyroheliometer and so on. It is not practically possible to install this radiation measuring instruments at all the locations due to the cost and difficulty in measurements. Hence the availability of solar radiation data is limited to few meteorological stations especially in the developing country like India. Therefore, it is necessary to develop mathematical models to predict the solar radiation to eliminate the costly pyranometer. In this paper, the review of mathematical models using trigonometric functions for the prediction of global solar radiation is presented. The mathematical models are applicable wherever the radiation data is unavailable. From the review results, it is concluded that mathematical model with both sine and cosine wave equation gives good prediction accuracy with correlation coefficient of 0.95

In this article a novel circularly polarized (CP) rectangular dielectric resonator antennas (RDRA’s) array has been designed. A unique conformal feeding strip has been used to excite the RDRA’s having a distance of λ/2. Various techniques are investigated to reduce mutual coupling (MC). Different formations, comprise of reorientation of the antennas have been employed to suppress MC and to enhance CP bandwidth. By the unique orientation the mutual coupling has been reduced by ~ 14 dB. A broadband circular polarization over a bandwidth of ~ 18.8% in conjunction with an impedance matching bandwidth of ~ 11.3 % has been achieved. The design has been modeled and simulated using computer simulation technology (CST). Two different simulation techniques i.e. finite integration technique (FIT) and Finite element method (FEM) have been used to compute and validate the results respectively. A significant resemblance in results have been observed.

There is huge number of disease which is caused through water drinking that being polluted was supplied to the consumer. This is something that cannot be underestimate because it can cause high cost of treatment or death. Its not only cause troubles to the consumer which is human, it is also included all aquatic life and surrounding ecosystem. There is way to overcome this problem that created before which is take the sample of water to the lab. The result of water being polluted or not will be released by the lab. But this system going to take lot of times because there are few process that should be followed. This system is not suitable anymore because it is not portable, easy and fastest. It should be upgraded to the IoT system because it can cut times, internet base and people will be more alert to the quality of water. Therefore, a real-time water quality monitoring system is proposed in this research to reduce number of fatality happened from water.

Cost allocation of highly non-linear transmission loss is complex and essential in competitive electricity market. In most of the existing transmission loss/cost allocation approaches, real power loss depends on selection of slack bus and hence the cost of transmission losses which are allocated to the generators and the loads also varies. In this paper, a complete analysis on the impact of slack bus selection on transmission loss allocation with and without mathematical loss is made. One of the existing approaches, proportional generation and proportional load (PGPL) method is taken to illustrate the impact. Mathematical loss is the loss without generation and load in the network and can be obtained from power flow solution by taking generation and load as zero. The cost incurred for this mathematical loss is allocated to the transmission lines while the cost of transmission loss due to bilateral contracts is allocated among the sources and the consumers. These loss/cost allocations with and without considering mathematical loss is shown using an IEEE 30 bus, 57 bus, 75 bus and 118 bus systems. The simulation results are obtained using MATLAB R2014a.

In order to analyze the behaviors of human, significant extent of work has been carried out in the video surveillance applications. While considering the crowded scenes, the adopted features are crafted manually which have a great side to detect anomaly. It requires prior information and is hard to extract from complex video scenes and also it involves huge computational costs. In this paper, we are proposing multi-observational detection and tracking approach (MoDTA) that is based on observational filter. The MoDTA initially acquires people location in an image, so that is can detect conviction value at pointed locations which generally increases with respect to people density. In the phase of tracking, MoDTA computes the multiple observed weight values and individual features, also advection particle is used at motion model in order to facilitate the dense scenario tracking. Coefficient of correlation is used as template detector and the function of template detector is to estimate the upcoming object. Our proposed MoDTA is compared with other existing detection and tracking methods in order to evaluate the system performance.

This paper adopted a thermal network method (TNM) based on Motor-CAD software, and Matlab/SIMULINK, with finite element method (FEM) based on Flux2D software to perform a thermal analysis of a totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC), squirrel cage, three-phase induction motor. The thermal analysis is achieved based on a precise knowledge of the test motor geometry, materials, and heat sources (losses). The estimation of heat distribution inside the test motor by this three software is done successfully with a good agreement between its results. The proposed triple-software methodology for this work can be adopted from the motor designer instead of using an experimental test based on a real motor.

This paper presents an approach for acquiring a magnetic particle imaging (MPI) signal, by utilizing the second harmonic detection of the magnetic nanoparticles tracers. An MPI signal with high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is crucial for high spatial resolution images that reveals the distribution of the tracers in a target area. Samples of Resovist and Perimag nanoparticles tracers were prepared in liquid and immobilised form, which were placed at some distances under the receiver coil of the single-sided MPI scanner. The samples were exposed to the excitation magnetic field generated at 22.8 kHz and a static gradient field generated with a direct current of 2 A. The non-linear magnetization response of the tracers for each spatial position is recorded in the form of voltage signal by a gradiometer pickup coil, with the second harmonic signal being extracted by a resonance circuit. The results obtained revealed that a sufficient signal from the tracers is recorded at up to 25 mm under the pickup coil, with Perimag samples inducing higher signals as compared to Resovist. The dependence of the DC gradient field on the second harmonic signal shows that the peak signal amplitude for Resovist and Perimag particles as ±5 mT and ±6 mT respectively. Additionally, the second harmonic signal amplitude increases exponentially with an increase in the excitation magnetic field. Thus, the results obtained shows the potential of this approach in acquiring high SNR MPI signals at low excitation frequency, which could be vital in reconstructing the contour images of the tracers, particularly in sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for breast cancer diagnosis.

Sign Language Recognition System (SLRS) is a system to recognise sign language and then translate them into text. This system can be developed by using a sensor-based technique. Some studies have implemented various feature extraction and classification methods to recognise sign language in the different country. However, their systems were user dependent (the accuracy was high when the trained and the tested user were the same people, but it was getting worse when the tested user was different to the trained user). Therefore in this study, we proposed a feature extraction method which is invariant to a user. We used the distance between two users’ skeleton instead of using the users’ skeleton positions because the skeleton distance is independent to the user posture. Finally, forty-five features were extracted in this proposed method. Further, we classified the features by using a classification method that is suitable with sign language gestures characteristic (time-dependent sequence data). The classification method is Dynamic Time Wrapping. For the experiment, we used twenty Indonesian sign languages from different semantic groups (greetings, questions, pronouns, places, family and others) and different gesture characteristic (static gesture and dynamic gesture). Then the system was tested by a different user with the user who did the training. The result was promising, this proposed method produced high accuracy, reach 91% which shows that this proposed method is user independent.
