In today’s world, Distributed Generation (DG) has become an outstanding solution to cater to power system challenges caused due to the exponential growth of load demand. Many researchers have used various optimization techniques for the optimal planning of location and the size of the DGs. However, premature convergence, precision of the output and complexity are few major drawbacks of these optimization techniques. In this paper, Multi-Leader Particle Swarm Optimization (MLPSO) is utilized to determine the optimal locations and sizes of DGs with the intention of active power loss minimization. Thus, the primary drawback of premature convergence in existing optimization techniques is suppressed. A comprehensive performance analysis is carried out on IEEE 33 bus system. The findings reveal a 67.40% reduction of loss by integrating three DGs with unity power factor. The comparison of the results with other optimization techniques has demonstrated the effectiveness of MLPSO Algorithm.

In this paper, a deep learning method is used to make a system for traffic sign recognition. You Only Look Once (YOLOv3) is used as it has a quick response in terms of real-time data reliability followed by high accuracy and robust performance. This study applies image preprocessing for better decision making for the recognition system in a different environment which includes lighting and weather. This is to ensure that the approach used is safe to be installed in autonomous vehicles. A comparison of images trained and tested will be demonstrated.

Polypropylene (PP) has recently been proposed as a good alternative to cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) in the field of dielectrics due to PP’s beneficial properties to withstand higher thermal endurance of up to 150°C along with its ability to be recycled with ease, when compared with XLPE. However, PP is much stiffer than XLPE, making it unsuitable to be extruded as a high voltage cable insulation. Furthermore, PP has poor thermal conductivity under room temperature when compared with XLPE, which will otherwise result in inferior dielectric performances. Therefore, PP needs to be modified to alter its physical as well as electrical properties. In the current work, ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) was proposed to be combined with PP to produce a PP blend with reduced overall stiffness. To increase the thermal conductivity of the PP blend, nanofillers were proposed to be added to the PP blend. For these reasons, the structure of the proposed materials was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

Visually impaired person facing difficulty in shopping, running business and activities that dealing with handling banknote. This paper presents a Malaysian banknote reader targeted for visually impaired person to allow them identifying Malaysian banknotes value and dealing with dealers that performing business transaction in Ringgit. This paper proposes a Malaysian banknote reader for visually impaired person using perceptual hashing based image searching and fuzzy logic algorithm. the banknote image captured by the reader will be sent to cloud/internet server for image processing, via Wi-Fi to eliminate the bulky size reader problem. A server in cloud is set up to receive the captured image and return the analysis results after running the image processing algorithm. This will eventually reduce the costs and size of the banknote reader. The banknote reader reached about 95% accuracy by testing 600 different worn, torn and new Malaysian banknotes. The proposed reader managed to recognize banknotes at about 480ms to 560ms for single-sided recognition, after image taken by the reader’s camera. The test of the reader was also run with both visually impaired and visually good participants to recognize 100 pieces of different Malaysian banknote. The result shown that the recognition responses is comparable, only with slight difference of 1.0908 second per banknote reading time.

Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology has encountered the challenges in scaling beyond 5 nm in recent years, hence, limiting further performance improvement. The carbon nanotube field-effect transistor (CNFET) has potential to replace the metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) due to its similar electrical properties and fabrication processes, with better performance. In this paper, we present an optimum design of a two-stage CNFET operational amplifier (op-amp) in 10 nm technology. The optimum design is achieved considering the analog performance metrics such as the open-loop gain, gain bandwidth, power dissipation, and output resistance. The structural parameters of the CNFET, the number of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) N, CNT diameter DCNT, and inter-CNT spacing S were altered and simulated against the performance metrics to observe the variation of the performance metrics. Based on the simulation results, higher value of structural parameters offers higher performances without at the cost of higher power dissipation. In this work, the achieved optimum value of N, DCNT, and S of 11, 1.7 nm, and 20 nm, respectively.

A novel microwave technology-based biosensor operating at 36 GHz is developed for liquid-sensing properties for 5G applications. The metamaterial resonator in the designed biosensor consists of a single ring connected by two microstrip lines. The overall dimensions of the biosensor are $5 times 8$ mm2. The simulated results demonstrate the resonant frequency drops as the MUT of higher permittivity value is introduced in place of the gap of the ring resonator. Therefore, the proposed metamaterial ring resonator can provide good sensitivity when sensing the MUT that are resonant in mm-W for 5G applications.

Electronic gadgets are more and more demanding nowadays. When the users are difficult to reach the grid or have no charger along with them, aside from conventional power bank, thermoelectric generator (TEG) can be another choice to charge up their electronic gadgets. Most of the TEG can only generates low voltage which is not enough to charge up the electronic gadgets. So, the voltage needs to be stepped up. Boost converter with voltage sensor or switching regulator is considered and both are compared in terms of efficiency performance, stability, and reliability by using software. In low voltage application, a switching regulator is more suitable to be used to step up TEG voltage for charging mobile devices compared with self-constructed boost converter.
