In recent times, derailments due to uprooting rails on a railway track has become a banal and noteworthy occurrence in Bangladesh due to different reasons such as political unrest, mass protest, etc. However, the railway tracks in Bangladesh are yet to ...

Industrial robots have been employed worldwide in the manufacturing sector for performing tasks quickly, repeatedly and accurately in relatively static environments for over 30 years. In recent years, close physical interaction between industrial robots ...

Data communication between the devices with different mechanisms for connection is impossible. Two devices, one having USB port but do not have Wi-Fi connectivity and another device having Wi-Fi connectivity but having no USB port or the two devices ...

Social media have been employed to assess public opinions on events, markets, and policies. Most current work focuses on either developing aggregated measures or opinion extraction methods like sentiment analysis. These approaches suffer from ...

We propose a novel object detection approach that combines the discriminative power of object category classifiers with a simple pixel level focus of attention mechanism. The pixel-level foreground/background detectors evolve to classify each pixel as ...

In this paper we propose a real time face recognitionmethod that combines face matching and identity verificationmodules in a feedback loop, exploiting the temporalefficiency of matching and the performances of SVM classifiers. Our approach represents ...

Computer-based protection, distributed measurement, and control for fast reconfiguration of power systems are all strongly dependent from the performance of the communication network at the point that the performance of the power system are directly ...

Task scheduling is an essential aspect of parallel processing system This problem assumes fully connected processors and ignores contention on the communication links However, as arbitrary processor network (APN), communication contention has a strong ...

This paper presents a case study on the implementation of IFPUG FPA and COSMIC software measurement methods for a small real-time system. The two methods were applied separately to measure the functional size of the same software. The main objective of ...

The objective of this article is to improve the performance of a transaction in a real time distributed system comprising of heterogeneous networks. For this purpose we have developed a Queue Sensing Distributed Real-time Commit Protocol (QSDRCP) which ...

Paper present brief description of qB - Distributed Control System designed for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle - UAV. Concept is a result of few years development and was created to fulfill requirements pointed by the market. Described Embedded System operates ...

Standard technique for simulation like resistive companion or state equation require simulation time that are too big for real time simulation and for an efficient design process of really large and complex system. The purpose of this paper is to ...

Energy consumption has become an increasingly important consideration in many real-time systems. Therefore, the design and analysis for energy-efficient processor management techniques is an important and widely open research field. In this paper, I ...

Climate control in indoor environments like operation theatres, homes and offices can be done using a PIC microcontroller. The availability of an in-built 12C module, power saving SLEEP mode and the low power consumption of the PIC microcontroller makes ...

We investigated the problem of supertasking in Pfair-scheduled multi-processor systems. In this approach, a set of tasks (component tasks) is grouped together to form a supertask, which is then scheduled as an ordinary Pfair task. Whenever a supertask ...

This study presents comparative results of real time implementing of three methods for control a multivariable process with nonlinear static characteristics. The first two methods are classic and are based on decentralized control and respectively, on ...

The paper proposes a combined feedforward and feedback control scheme with nonlinear compensators as a solution for multivariable nonlinear processes. This is developed based on classic decentralized control approach for multivariable processes. The ...

This paper is about a fuzzy logic based driver aid which helps drivers perform flawless parallel parking. The tool gets its input from two low resolution cameras placed strategically outside the vehicle. The images are processed by an on-board CPU and ...

Cratering and fragmentation of terrain due to eXplosions are the behaviors of interest in this effort. We propose a physically-based approach to model the eXplosion event and the process of terrain fragmentation resulting in the formation of craters. ...

This paper proposes a practical method of tracking pointing gesture in 3D space for wearable visual interfaces. We integrate dense depth maps and contour cues to achieve more stable tracking performance. A strategy of fusing information from selective ...
