Speech coding algorithms have been developed for years to digitalize human voice to a few binary bits as possible while maintaining reasonable quality. Codec2 vocoder algorithm is one of an efficient sinusoidal coding with very high compression rate down to 450 bit/s. In this paper, an efficient hardware architecture of Codec2 decoder is proposed to increase the performance of voice decoding process and reduce comprehensive tasks from a host processor. Although the sinusoidal decoding algorithm is complicated with many arithmetic operations such as the arithmetic of complex numbers, FFT, FIR filter, division, trigonometry, exponential and logarithm functions, several techniques were explored to optimize and parallelize a datapath of the proposed hardware. The implementation on Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA revealed that the proposed architecture could reduce the processing time up to 20 times, compared to the conventional Cortex-M4 CPU running with the original software.

Pollution from municipal solid waste has been a problem in Thailand for a long time. People generate waste in every minute. Ineffective waste segregation does increase difficulties in solid waste management. The Pollution Control Department of Thailand provides segregation guideline for municipal solid waste. Household wastes should be separated into four types—general waste, compostable waste, recyclable waste and hazardous waste. This paper explored performance of CNN-based waste-type classifiers (VGG-16, ResNet-50, MobileNet V2 and DenseNet-121) in classifying waste types of 9,200 municipal solid waste images. Waste type can be identified directly from waste-type classifier or derived from waste-item class. Derived classifiers outperformed their corresponding direct classifiers in the experiment. The highest waste-type classification accuracy was 94.86% from the derived ResNet-50 classifier.

3G and 4G wireless communication technology, which requires broad network resources and large amounts of available electricity, was designed for high-speed Internet usage. Most narrowband-Internet of Things (NB-IoT) devices do not require high-speed Internet because most IoTs work by sending commands to and receiving commands from a server only. NB-IoT is a low-power wide area (LPWA) technology that was developed to accommodate a broad variety of new IoT devices. A low-power wide area network (LPWAN) uses narrow frequencies that support the use of devices in the 900 MHz frequency range that are inexpensive and that can be used in both buildings and wide areas. NB-IoT devices can also be used to assist medical patients, the elderly, and disabled people that are susceptible to falling. Our newly developed monitoring system has the ability to immediately recognize a fall, and then automatically alert up to 4 contacts via the LINE application. If dispatch of a medical unit is required, the patient's location is automatically available without the need for voice contact by the patient.

The interpretation of dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is one of the most important procedure to identify the incipient fault which may occur in transformers. Various interpretation methods can be used; however, they may identify different fault types for the same investigation case. This paper aims to study the performance of DGA interpretation, i.e., IEC Ratio, Duval Triangle and Duval Pentagon, and Doernenburg Ratio. The performance of the DGA interpretation techniques is evaluated from twenty-four fault cases obtained from both academic references and problem investigated transformers utilized in an electrical power plant in Thailand. It was found that the Duval Pentagon method provided the highest consistency DGA interpretation compared with other methods. Duval Pentagon also has the capability to distinguish the normal aging of the insulation system from other fault types.

The research use dominant attribute two things such as average of RSS and fluctuation analysis (FA) to cover efficiency of the presentation measure RSS from the implementation of four activities by using the supervised learning in order to spread the pattern of recognition from the test data obtained from the experiment three locations for the distance between a transmitter and a receiver at 5 meters for line-of-sight (LOS) case, this approach can provide accuracy not less than 90% [1]. On the average in the canal Obstructed-Line-of-sight (OLOS) give the lower accuracy compared to the case LOS but still give more than 80% in the case of test canal by implementation changing people found that the average result is 88.75%, in the case use another AP the average result is 90.63% and also in the case test NLOS. Finally, from exploratory experiments the proposed technique shows as a potential scheme to be adopted in activity-based recognition for many future applications like intrusion detection for home security, elderly personal surveillance, etc.

Brain cancer is caused by the population of abnormal cells called glial cells that takes place in the brain. Over the years, the number of patients who have brain cancer is increasing with respect to the aging population, is a worldwide health problem. The objective of this paper is to develop a method to detect the brain tissues which are affected by cancer especially for grade-4 tumor, Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). GBM is one of the most malignant cancerous brain tumors as they are fast growing and more likely to spread to other parts of the brain. In this paper, Naïve Bayes classification is utilized for recognition of a tumor region accurately that contains all spreading cancerous tissues. Brain MRI database, preprocessing, morphological operations, pixel subtraction, maximum entropy threshold, statistical features extraction, and Naïve Bayes classifier based prediction algorithm are used in this research. The goal of this method is to detect the tumor area from different brain MRI images and to predict that detected area whether it is a tumor or not. When compared to other methods, this method can properly detect the tumor located in different regions of the brain including the middle region (aligned with eye level) which is the significant advantage of this method. When tested on 50 MRI images, this method develops 81.25% detection rate on tumor images and 100% detection rate on non-tumor images with the overall accuracy 94%.

This paper presents the design and construction of a multi-channel surface electromyograph for monitoring intra-dialytic cramp to help medical staffs in the care of patients on hemodialysis. The developed system consists of two main parts: EMG circuits, and a processing circuit. The EMG circuit detects the myoelectric signal from the surface electrodes placed on the skin over the muscle, or the sEMG signal ($S_{EMG}$), and process the detected $S_{EMG}$ to obtain a signal of which the amplitude represents the peak amplitude of the $s$ EMG signal ($V_{EMG}$). Each EMG circuit is composed of a biopotential amplifier, a bandpass filter, a full-wave rectifier, a peak detector, and a low-pass filter. The processing circuit acquires the $V_{EMG}$ data from the EMG circuits, and provides the alarm if the $V_{EMG}$ increases higher than the level of the reference voltage ($V_{ref}$) set by the user. The experiments were held by making the measurement at the gastrocnemius muscle and performing the voluntary muscle contraction to imitate the muscle cramp. The results showed that the EMG circuits can effectively detect and process the $S_{EMG}$ in order to provide the $V_{EMG}$ in response to the muscle contraction, and the processing unit can provide the alarm correctly when the gastrocnemius muscles are contracted.

This paper deals with a voltage-mode multifunction filter using only single newly defined active element labeled as voltage differencing gain amplifier (VDGA), and four passive elements. The presented circuit has one input and three outputs, and can realize highpass, bandpass and lowpass biquadratic filtering functions simultaneously without altering the circuit topology. Apart from these characteristics, the circuit also exhibits the desirable features such as high impedance for the input voltage signal and orthogonal adjustment of the natural angular frequency and the quality factor, and low sensitivity performance. The filter exhibits high-input impedance terminal. The operation of the proposed filter is evaluated through simulation results based on $0.25-boldsymbol{mu}mathbf{m}$ CMOS technology from TSMC.
