Smooth Support Vector Machine for Suicide-Related Behaviours Prediction
No full textSuicide-related behaviours need to be prevented on psychiatric patients. Prediction of those behaviours based on patient medical records would be very useful for the prevention by the psychiatric hospital. This research focused on developing this prediction at the only one psychiatric hospital of Bali Province by using Smooth Support Vector Machine method, as the further development of Support Vector Machine. The method used 30.660 patient medical records from the last five years. Data cleaning gave 2665 relevant data for this research, includes 111 patients that have suicide-related behaviours and under active treatment. Those cleaned data then were transformed into ten predictor variables and a response variable. Splitting training and testing data on those transformed data were done for building and accuracy evaluation of the method model. Based on the experiment, the best average accuracy at 63% can be obtained by using 30% of relevant data as data testing and by using training data which has one-to-one ratio in number between patients that have suicide-related behaviours and patients that have no such behaviours. In the future work, accuracy improvement need to be confirmed by using Reduced Support Vector Machine method, as the further development of Smooth Support Vector Machine
An Ultra Low Power CMOS Sigma Delta ADC Modulator for System-on-chip (SoC) Temperature Sensor for Aerospace Applications
No full textIn the current paper, an accurate with low power consumed sigma delta (ΣΔ) analog to digital converter has been designed for the aerospace applications. The sigma delta ADC has been designed in such a way that it works fine with consumption of low power and high accuracy in the system on chip (SoC) temperature sensor where the analog output from the temperature sensor unit will be the fed to the analog to digital converter. To check the robustness, different parameters with variation has been analyzed. The high gain operational amplifier plays a vital role in the circuits design. Hence, a 30 MHz operational amplifier has also been proposed whose unity gain bandwidth (UGB) has been observed of about 30 MHz, 51.1dB dc gain and slew rate (SR) of about 27.9 V/ µsec. For the proper operation of the circuit, a power supply of +1.3V to -1.3V is used. The proposed sigma delta ADC modulator is showing better results over previously designed modulator in terms of power consumption, error and performance. The design and simulation have been tested with the help of cadence analog design environment with UMC 90nm CMOS process technology
BIST Architecture using Area Efficient Low Current LFSR for Embedded Memory Testing Applications Applications
No full textOne of the important block of BIST controller is LFSR and the speed with which BIST operates depends on LFSR systems design. There are methods in implementing LFSR using field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) or digital signal processors (DSPs). BIST controller system speed is then limited to FPGAs and DSPs, which may influence other parameters such as overall area, maximum current, limit and power dissipation. This paper proposes a technique to achieve an efficient BIST controller by redesigning LFSR using GDI based D flip-flops that resulted with low area and low current capabilities. This paper presents three different techniques for implementing flip-flops for an efficient LFSR so that the layout area will be minimized as well as the maximum current drawn will be lower
Android Based Switch Controlling Technique for LED Bulbs Using Bluetooth/Wi-Fi Technology
No full textThis paper presents an efficient approach to switch on/off and control the intensity of an LED bulb from a remote place using Android Applications installed in a Smartphone. As LED household bulbs and lights are energy efficient, drop-in replacements for the incandescent lighting found in homes and offices. These lights produce a warm brightness while providing a significant cost savings over traditional lighting. Bluetooth & Wi-Fi modules are used simultaneously as an interface that make connection between Android Application and the LPC2148 controller by which the generated output can be viewed with the help of an LED bulb and control various other devices, based on the availability in particular areas
A Fault Detection Technique for Series-Compensated Lines by TCSC during Power Swing
No full textThe performance of a distance relay is very susceptible to power swing. In order to avoid generating unwanted trip in such condition, a power swing block function (PSB) is used in distance relays. However, if a fault occurs in power swing condition, the relay should distinguish the fault from power swing and generate trip rapidly. Detection a fault in a series-compensated line by Series Capacitor (SC) during the power swing is more complicated than in an uncompensated line due to complex transients generated by series capacitor and the Metal–Oxide Varistor (MOV) operation. In a series-compensated line by TCSC, it is further complicated due to nonlinear variation of compensation level during power swing and fault, moreover, non-unique application mode of TCSC for different faults which is dependent on fault current. This paper examines a method based on negative sequence current to detecting all types of fault during power swing in a series-compensated line by TCSC. The method is tested for different TCSC-compensated power systems include SMIB and 9-bus 3-machine systems. Different types of faults, i.e., symmetrical, asymmetrical and high resistance faults occurring during a power swing are simulated by MATLAB/SIMULINK to examine the algorithm
Meleagris Gallopavo Algorithm for Solving Optimal Reactive Power Problem
No full textIn this paper, Meleagris Gallopavo Algorithm (MGA) is proposed for solving optimal reactive power problem.As a group-mate Meleagris gallopavo follow their poultry to explore food, at the same time it prevent the same ones to eat their own food. Always the overriding individuals have the lead to grab more food and Meleagris gallopavo would arbitrarily pinch the high-quality food which has been already found by other Meleagris gallopavo. In the region of the mother Meleagris gallopavo, Poults always search for food. In the Projected Meleagris Gallopavo Algorithm (MGA) additional parameters are eliminated, in order to upsurge the search towards global optimization solution.Proposed Meleagris Gallopavo Algorithm (MGA) has been tested on two modes a. with the voltage stability Evaluation in standard IEEE 30 bus test system, b. Without voltage stability Evaluation in standard IEEE 30, 57,118 bus test systems & practical 191 test system. Simulation results show clearly the better performance of the proposed Meleagris Gallopavo Algorithm (MGA) in reducing the real power loss, enhancement of static voltage stability Index and particularly voltage profiles within the specified limits
Resonant Configuration Topology Exploration for Inductive Link Power Transfer
No full textThis paper investigates the performance of circuit topology used in wireless power applications to optimize the level of maximum efficiency. We analyse the series and the parallel resonant topologies for use in an inductive coupling link to derive power transfer efficiency expressions verified using MATLAB. We look into the two topologies into the link under resonant conditions for selectively supplying the device with power. The results are obtained analytically which are verified subsequently by MATLAB simulation. We then analyse the links to see how maximum power transfer efficiency for a given pair of coils can be achieved. The topology at a given tuning frequency is used for powering a selected resistive load. The method is presented using a given pair of coils simulated and the results agree well with the theoretical explanation and derivations

An Effective Pre-Processing Phase for Gene Expression Classification
No full textA raw dataset prepared by researchers comes with a lot of information. Whether the information is usefull or not, completely depends on the requirement and purposes. In machine learning, data pre-processing is the very initial stage. It is a must to make sure the dataset is totally suitable for the requirement. In significant directed random walk (sDRW), there are three steps in data pre-processing stage. First, we remove unwanted attributes, missing value and proper arrangement, followed by normalization of the expression value and lastly, filtering method is applied. The first two steps are completed by Bioconductor package while the last step is works in sDRW
