This paper presents the performance of gas sensors as electronic nose coupled with pattern recognition method for gases identification. In fact, the implementation of the electronic nose in a characterization process is based on two fundamental phases: a learning phase and a phase of identification. That is why we need an accurate extraction method in order to obtain performant classification. In this study, we propose to extract transient parameters in a dynamic mode: derivate and integral. The performance of these features is validated by the analysis method: principal component analysis (PCA) and K nearest neighbors (KNN), which present 98, 74% rate classification.

On-line handwriting analysis and synthesis have become a topic of great interest over the last years and identified as a still-open research issue in various fields, including Artificial Intelligence. This paper proposes an artificial simulator for the analysis and synthesis of cursive handwriting signals based on the beta-elliptic model. The beta equation used for this model describes the velocity profile in the kinematics domain which, in turn, is represented by an elliptic arc that characterizes the handwriting trajectory in the static domain. The beta-elliptic model is used to develop a simulator model that produces both movement kinematic profiles, such as velocity and acceleration, and position patterns of the approximated handwriting trajectory. The model consists of three interconnected sub-systems constructed via the Matlab-Simulink tool. In order to test the performance of our proposed enhanced model and simplify the control and simulation of handwriting features, including movement amplitude, duration, and size, experimental cases were performed under ideal and noisy conditions. The results demonstrated the efficiency of the enhanced model in producing handwriting signals and its robustness in handling the variation of handwriting features.

This work makes use of the entropy in order to propose a wavelet transformation algorithm to detect the odd peaks. Furthermore, this algorithm has been used to enhance the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system performance based on combatting the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) problem. Three main stages are used to fulfill the process requirements; OFDM signal transformation based on the wavelet structure, thresholding process based on a predetermined criterion, and the filtration stage based on the moving filter. The proposed algorithm performance has been checked and validated not just numerically but also by a MATLAB conducted simulation. Furthermore, to check the simulation results, a comparison has been made to the literature; and shows promising results under the same bandwidth occupancy and systems limitations.

Network on chip (NoC) is the new efficient interconnection structure of nowadays complex system on chips. The performance of NoC in terms of latency, throughput and power consumption should be optimized. Since buffers consume around 60% area and 30% power of the whole router, the relationship between network performance and memory resources has to be considered. In this paper, we propose a new router architecture enabling an adaptive virtual channels sharing among different input ports. This router solves the problem of virtual channels underutilization; it improves the area and power consumption performance without affecting the latency.

Aquaculture is a growing multi-billion pound industry facing many challenges. Traditional fish feeding mechanism in today's aquaculture farms stands behind a variety of challenges, including fish welfare, fish growth distribution, environmental effect especially in open ocean cage fish farms, and production cost efficiency. Adaptive smart fish feeder based on fish behaviours is proposed in this paper in order to minimize the effect of the traditional feeding mechanisms. The proposed feeding mechanism interacts, recognizes and responses to fish activities. The proposed smart fish feeder feeds fish based on their request regardless the time of the day. The smart fish feeding aims to minimize food waste and maximize the food conversion ratio (FCR). The proposed system is expected to cause uniform fish growth among individuals within the tank as the feeding depends on fish requests. Fish welfare is expected to be enhanced since there is no food competition and food waste is expected to be less making water good quality last for longer. This paper proposes hardware design of the smart feeder and smart software algorithm. Preliminary results will be discussed in this paper.

In this paper, we propose an experimental study for hybrid voting algorithm based on observer and robust control design for two mechanical sensor faults. The proposed strategy is applied for the induction motor speed drive of electrical vehicle powertrain. To adopt the best performance method for electrical vehicle application, we illustrate the effectiveness of the hybrid voting algorithm approach with the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) speed profile. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed Input/Output FTC architecture.

Enhancing the speech quality is the aim of noise reduction techniques. In order to have a desirable speech signal, it is necessary to eliminate the hearing fatigue and enhance the quality and intelligibility of speech signal. The present of additive noise causes the signal to degrade where the noise reduction techniques intend to remove the effect of noise on speech signals. However, removing the noise should not harm the speech signal when the signal is going to be heard. In this regard, Wiener filter can be used to promote the quality and intelligibility of the noisy signals. This paper explores the performance of multi-channel Wiener filter accompanied by Warped FIR filter.

Zebrafish has becomes a popular biological model for studies in pain, stress and welfare. However, automated assessment of nociceptive thresholds in larval zebrafish remains a challenge for biomedical researchers. This paper presents a new automatic pattern detection method for behavioral analysis of zebrafish larvae. The proposed method divides each arena in the test-bed mesh into an inner and outer zone with the aim of detecting patterns of fish behavior in the outer zones (also called thigmotaxis or wall hugging) that is considered one of the most common behavioral patterns studied in anxiety models. Three distinct groups of fish larvae are used as test subjects in this study. These groups are exposed to electric stimulation using different voltage levels. Poststimulation behaviors of the subjects under test are recorded using an infrared sensitive camera and analyzed. The obtained results demonstrated a noticeable change in the larval behavior in terms of the number of detected patterns in the outer zones of the arena cells. These findings confirm the validity of the proposed pattern detection method as a new metric to assess nociceptive thresholds for behavioral analysis of larvae.

Most of the hospitals, medical centers and outpatient clinics in Jordan have made major investments in transferring their manual health records to electronic health records (EHRs). However, heterogeneity and lack of appropriated middleware made these EHRs inaccessible on the national level despite the availability of advanced telecom infrastructure in the country. This paper presents a new central middleware architecture that enables seamless and secure exchange of data and services between the local EHRs and a remote national EHR database system. The proposed middleware tackles a standing interoperability problem between these distributed healthcare entities and thus enables the caregivers to access EHRs of their patients on the national level without restrictions of time or geographical location. This is achieved by developing a structured form of interoperability between distributed clients and servers and the central EHR database server that simplifies the integration process and shifts the complexity towards the central middleware system. The developed pilot middleware prototype has demonstrated seamless and secure exchange of data and services.
