In general, the extraction of the vehicle plate is a previous step of plate recognition, and it actively studied for several decades. Plate localization is used in various security and traffic applications. In this paper, the proposed method is efficient to localize a plate for the multinational countries. The proposed method consists of three levels. The first level is the preprocessing that contains several steps. The digital camera capture images have been taken about twenty meters from the car with zooming two to three meters. Images are resampled using the zooming technique (bilinear interpolation) that makes the dimension of image (1024 x 768) pixels. The resampled images are resized to (940x 730). These images are converted to grayscale (green channel), and the bilateral filter is applied for removing noise. The second level is plate detection that adopts morphological operations, image subtraction, and vertical edge detection (Sobel). At the last Connected component analysis and Hough transform are used. The third level is the Deskew plate that notifies the plate may skew so that Hough transform is used to detect the largest line segment. Then, the images are rotated using bilinear interpolation. About 860 images are tested for different countries (Iraq, Belarus, Armenia, Hungary), and the accuracy is 98.99 % for extraction of the plate and 100% for the Deskew plate. Thus, the proposed system shows high efficiency in achievement.

This paper focuses on the study of the asynchronous generator self-excited during operation in isolated mode. It concerns the analysis of a robust control of the asynchronous machine in order to improve the quality of the electrical energy produced in different environmental circumstances, and to promote the use of renewable energies in rural areas to improve education, the supply of drinking water, livestock and agriculture, access to information and communication. The present work concerns the description and modeling of the various mechanical parts of the wind turbine. It also tackles the steady-state and transient modeling of the asynchronous generator under self-excitation conditions. The practical results and the simulation ones have shown the influence of the self-excitation capacity on the output quantities of the wind system (voltage, current and torque) in vacuum and under charge (resistive and inductive). In the case where the asynchronous wind turbine is connected to a network, it imposes amplitude, waveform and frequency. But in the case of isolated sites, the asynchronous machine has a low power factor, what means it requires reactive energy. To correct this irregularity, we can improve the power factor by using variable capacitors. The excitation current (reactive power) must be permanently supplied according to the load connected. This requires an intelligent system that regulates the electrical energy produced.

Maintaining the quality of the water quality is one of the important aspects that play a substantial effect on the aquaculture industry especially in the tilapia industry. The quality of the water needs to be continuously monitored as any deviation from the allowed critical parameters such as water temperature and potential of hydrogen (pH) can cause unwanted scenarios such as disease, stress, higher mortality rate and profit loss. Currently, the monitoring process adopted by most fish breeders is done manually by using a portable sensor. This approach is found to be very tedious, ineffective use of manpower and time consuming particularly for the large-scale aquaculture industry. Hence, this research focuses on developing a simple, low-cost automated water quality monitoring system for the tilapia industry via LabVIEW software. The developed system will be able to monitor the parameter in real-time continuously with the capability of record and analyze each reading in a more efficient way. A data acquisition (DAQ) of NI myRIO-1900 is used as an interface between sensors and a monitoring station equipped with LabVIEW. Additionally, the developed system is equipped with an alarm system to alert the user when any deviation of the parameters occurs. Result shows that the system has a small range of average relative error of 4.28% and 6.22% for temperature and pH level respectively as compare to the portable sensor. Note that the errors are down to the selection of sensors. Furthermore, the developed prototype of the monitoring system has advantages in terms of its flexibility in extending the system with more sensors and allows a longer period of data collection without human intervention. The system is also upgradable with the integration of a control element to control the parameter when the monitored parameter is exceeded the threshold value. Succinctly, the system offers lots of advantages to the aquaculture industries with further improvement leads to better performance.

Smart home appliances scheduling, employing optimization optimization algorithms to reduce utility costs, is gaining traction under the introduction of time-of-use tariffs and the development of internet of things (IoT). The prior electricity cost reduction scheduling algorithms, however, causes substantial discomfort to users for restricting users from using the appliances at their desired times. To address the problem, a novel versatile systematic method is proposed by pricing the mismatch of proposed schedule with users’ usage preference pattern to quantify discomfort, coupled with comfort-cost weight factor. The method employing customizable user preference patterns, user-perceived pricing of mismatch and user-specified comfort-savings weightage, not only captures the complex dependence of comfort to individual preference, but the evolution with time by continuous user survey. The proposed method, formulated to be simple enough to be applied on an Excel spreadsheet, demonstrates substantial reduction of electricity cost and users’ discomfort simultaneously. Studies on the algorithm found it to be robust against of fluctuations of parameters, with optimization performance comparable to prior work. The work demonstrates that despite the complex nature of comfort to users’ behaviors and perception, simple pricing surveys can be used to accurately quantify, compare and optimize users’ comfort together with economic savings.

The continuous flourishing of boarding schools in Malaysia have prompted a need for the development of outing systems that can manage the outing activities of students whilst ensuring their safety and security. In this project, a smart outing and attendance system that accurately records the details of all students and their respective outing activities is proposed. The development of this system via the XAMPP platform allows the information regarding students’ outing activities to be saved in an online database, whereby it is closely monitored and managed by the school authorities. Students who attend authorized outing activities have to scan their student ID card at an RFID reader which is installed at the main entrance of the school compound, where the information regarding their departure and arrival time at the school will be transmitted via an Arduino controller to the database. At the same time, this system sends a notification in the form of a WhatsApp message to the phone number of all the students’ parents. The system is a well-rounded approach to adequately manage the outing activities of students as each activity has to be registered beforehand with its implementation undergoing strict monitoring by the school authorities.

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is an inorganic material which has been introduced in polymeric insulation to improve the thermal and electrical properties of insulation. In this research, a comparative study was performed between unfilled polypropylene (PP) and PP nanocomposites containing 5 wt% of CaCO3 nanofiller. The electrical breakdown performances of unfilled PP and nanocomposites were investigated. The chemical content of the material was carried out using fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The findings showed that the introduction of CaCO3 to the PP altered the chemical bonding of the material, where two additional characteristic absorption bands appeared in the FTIR spectra of PP/CaCO3 nanocomposites. In addition, PP/CaCO3 nanocomposites had slight changes on the AC breakdown strength compared to unfilled PP. Meanwhile, the DC breakdown performance of the nanocomposites was apparently lower than that of unfilled PP. These were attributed to the agglomeration of CaCO3.

This paper presents an effective single phase grid connected photovoltaic PV system based on High Efficiency and Reliable Inverter Concept HERIC transformerless inverter. Dc-dc boost converter controlled by incremental conductance IC maximum power point tracker MPPT is employed to achieve the maximum extraction power of the PV panels. Proportional integral PI controller controls the output voltage of the boost converter to meet the utility grid requirements. LCL filter is utilized to keep the inverter voltage very close to sinusoidal shape. Employing the HERIC transformerless inverter reduces significantly the ground leakage current beyond safe limits. Semiconductors losses are studied to investigate the efficiency of the proposed system at different insolation levels. Simulation results verify the high performance of the proposed system when considering leakage current and system efficiency.

Testing and verification of digital circuits is of vital importance in electronics industry. Moreover, key designs require preservation of their intellectual property that might restrict access to the internal structure of circuit under test. Random testing is a classical solution to black box testing as it generates test patterns without using the structural implementation of the circuit under test. However, random testing ignores the importance of previously applied test patterns while generating subsequent test patterns. An improvement to random testing is Antirandom that diversifies every subsequent test pattern in the test sequence. Whereas, computational intensive process of distance calculation restricts its scalability for large input circuit under test. Fixed sized candidate set adaptive random testing uses predetermined number of patterns for distance calculations to avoid computational complexity. A combination of max-min distance with previously executed patterns is carried out for each test pattern candidate. However, the reduction in computational complexity reduces the effectiveness of test set in terms of fault coverage. This paper uses a total cartesian distance based approach on fixed sized candidate set to enhance diversity in test sequence. The proposed approach has a two way effect on the test pattern generation as it lowers the computational intensity along with enhancement in the fault coverage. Fault simulation results on ISCAS’85 and ISCAS’89 benchmark circuits show that fault coverage of the proposed method increases up to 20.22% compared to previous method.
