Assembly Sequence Planning by Probabilistic Tree Transformation
No full textVarious types of computer systems including CAD/CAM systems have been introduced in machine industry. Some of the systems can handle assembly sequence planning, however it requires long time for planning. This paper proposes a method of generating assembly sequences efficiently. This method extracts some parts and/or subassemblies whose possibilities of being removed from a product are strong, and tests whether they can be removed without any geometric interference. By performing these operations repeatedly, the method generates a disassembly sequence of the product, and obtains an assembly sequence by reversing it. The extraction of some parts and/or subassemblies is performed, based on probabilistic tree transformation. The authors present a calculation example by using a software tool integrated with a CAD system
Capacitive Energy Storage (CES) Optimization For Load Frequency Control in Micro Hydro Power Plant Using Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA)
No full textThis research will discuss a strategy of frequency control at micro hydro power plant using Capacitive Energy Storage (CES). CES is a device that can store and release energy quickly. To optimize CES performance, proper tuning is required to optimize CES performance. To obtain optimal CES parameter on micro hydro, artificial intelligence method based on Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) is used. Proportional Integral Derivative Controller (PID) is still a controller that can not be separated from the system, therefore in this research will be combined with CES as the main controller for frequency control on micro hydro. The simulation results show that the application of ICA in optimizing PID-CES parameters, can well improve micro hydro performance. The control models discussed in this research are Proportional Controller (P), Proportional Integral Controller (PI), Proportional Derivative Controller (PD), PID Controller, CES Controller and PID-CES Controller. From the simulation results obtained, P controller overshoot of -0.0001254, with PI Controller -0.000125, with PD Controller -0.0001252, with PID controller -0.0001249, with CES controller -0.0001224, and with PID-CES -1.371e-05. From the results of some of the controller models, it can be concluded that the PID-CES controller proposed in this study has a very significant effect to reduce the frequency oscillation in micro hydro, and it is very suitable to be applied for frequency control at micro hydro
Feature Extraction For Application of Heart Abnormalities Detection Through Iris Based on Mobile Devices
No full textAs the WHO says, heart disease is the leading cause of death and examining it by current methods in hospitals is not cheap. Iridology is one of the most popular alternative ways to detect the condition of organs. Iridology is the science that enables a health practitioner or non-expert to study signs in the iris that are capable of showing abnormalities in the body, including basic genetics, toxin deposition, circulation of dams, and other weaknesses. Research on computer iridology has been done before. One is about the computer's iridology system to detect heart conditions. There are several stages such as capture eye base on target, pre-processing, cropping, segmentation, feature extraction and classification using Thresholding algorithms. In this study, feature extraction process performed using binarization method by transforming the image into black and white. In this process we compare the two approaches of binarization method, binarization based on grayscale images and binarization based on proximity. The system we proposed was tested at Mugi Barokah Clinic Surabaya. We conclude that the image grayscale approach performs better classification than using proximity
Automatic Abstractive Summarization Task for New Article
No full textUnderstanding the contents of numerous documents requires strenuous effort. While manually reading the summary or abstract is one way, automatic summarization offers more efficient way in doing so. The current research in automatic summarization focuses on the statistical method and the Natural Processing Language (NLP) method. Statistical method produce Extractive summary that the summaries consist of independent sentences considered important content of document. Unfortunately, the coherence of the summary is poor. Besides that, the Natural Processing Language expected can produces summary where sentences in summary should not be taken from sentences in the document, but come from the person making the summary. So, the summaries closed to human-summary, coherent and well structured. This study discusses the tasks of generating summary. The conclusion is we can find that there are still opportunities to develop better outcomes that are better coherence and better accuracy
Walking Trajectory Optimization Algorithm For Robot Humanoid on Synthetic Grass
No full textSynthetic grass surface is a new rule in international robot soccer competition (RoboCup). The main issue in the development of the RoboCup competition today is about how to make a humanoid robot walk above the field of synthetic grass. Because of that, the humanoid robot needs a system that can be implemented into the walking algorithm. This paper describes how to maintain the stability of humanoid robot called EROS by using walking trajectory algorithm without a control system. The establishment of the walking trajectory system is combined with a process of landing optimization using deceleration and heel-strikes gait optimization. This system has been implemented into a humanoid robot with 52 cm of height and walking on synthetic grass with different speeds. By adding optimization, the robot walks more stable from 32% to 80% of stability. In the next research, the control system will be added to improve the stability
Study on Thermoelectric Cooler Driven by Solar Energy in Medan City
No full textThe primary purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of thermoelectric cooler driven by solar energy in Medan city, Indonesia. This cooler able to use in a remote area where electricity is still not available. The cooler could be used to store beverage that must be stored at low temperatures to maintain the freshness such as drink cup. The solar thermoelectric cooler is based on the principles of a thermoelectric module or Peltier effect to create a hot side and a cold side. The cold side of the thermoelectric module is utilized for cooling purposes to the cooling space. The heat from the hot side of the module is rejected to ambient surroundings by using heat sinks and fans. The solar thermoelectric cooler was experimentally tested for the cooling purpose. Experimental results showed that the solar thermoelectric cooler could reduce the temperature of the drink cup from 26oC to 15oC in approximately 40 min. The maximum COP of the cooling system during the experiment was calculated and found to be about 0.356. The effect of weather conditions on the COP value was about 85.90%
An Embedding Technique for Language-Independent Lecturer-Oriented Program Visualization
No full textNowadays, programming is a promising skill to be learned; the demand of programmer is increased. To align with such trend, several Program Visualization (PV) tools have been developed. Using such tool, user can learn how a particular program works through interactive and descriptive visualization. However, most of the tools are language-dependent: they use either language-dependent debugger or code to generate visualization. Such dependency may become a problem when a program written in new programming language is incorporated. Therefore, this paper proposes an embedding technique to handle given issue. To incorporate new programming language, it only needs five language-dependent features to be set. In general, our proposed technique works in threefold: embedding some statements to target program, generating visualization states by running the program with console commands, and visualizing given program based on generated visualization states. According to our evaluation, proposed technique is able to incorporate program written in any programming languages as long as those languages provide required language-dependent features. Further, it is practical to be used since it still have the benefits of conventional PV even though it is designed as a language-independent PV
Optimal Design and Cost Analysis of Hybrid Autonomous Distributed Generation System for a Critical Load
No full textOne of the universal targets of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals is affordable and clean energy. It is on this premise that this study presents the integration of PV-wind distributed generation system into an existing diesel generator powered water treatment plant in a suburban town of Wudil, Nigeria. Inadequate and epileptic supply from the grid caused the dependence of the plant on the generator. The optimal design was determined using the Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources (HOMER) software developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Simulation results produce an optimal hybrid system which includes photovoltaic (PV) panels, wind turbines, converter, batteries and a generator with a cost of energy of $0.26 at a renewable fraction of 95%. An analysis also demonstrates that implementing this design will result in low and fairly constant fuel price in the lifecycle of the project. This will, in turn, support sustainable economic development of communities served by the water treatment plant
