In Indonesia, the amount of nursing home continues to increase due to aging population. There are some downsides in keeping the elderly stay in there, such unwanted incidents, reluctantness of sharing their conditions to the guardians, and also the old-fashioned means of monitoring the elderly. This paper proposes a smart wearable technology for monitoring the elderly in a nursing house. A wristband is used to monitor health conditions (heart rate and body temperature) as well as information such a sudden unwanted movement occurs. With several network-connected access points (APs), the wristband will provide information about the position of the elderly. This information will be displayed on the (website) server, so the guardians can monitoring each person continuously and evaluate a condition of the elderly easily. Based on our observation, our systems shows promising result that it can detect the occurrences, then send notifications and related information to the server for further actions taken by the guardians.

A lot of research has been done targeting differential equations and state space of cardiac pacemakers while very few authors have discussed the circuit of the van der Pol oscillator. This paper aims at developing the van der Pol oscillator using RLC circuits with non-linear resistance. This was done by representing the modified forced van der pol oscillator with non-linear resistance using piecewise S curve obtained through an operational amplifier. The state space has been obtained, using 20-Sim software, followed by its differential equation. The phase portrait of the modified forced van der Pol oscillator has also been developed. In this paper, the behavior of real cardiac pacemaker has been reproduced in time domain and a comparison of the real and the reproduced cardiac pacemaker has been made.

This paper presents modeling and simulation of an entirely renewable energy based microgrid in MATLAB/Simulink environment for a chosen sample number of population at St. Martin's Island in Bangladesh. The proposed microgrid system consists of Doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind turbine farm, solar PV array farm and AC loads. The wind turbine farm is interfaced to the microgrid along with PV farm while the PV array is connected via an inverter and a boost converter with a maximum power point tracking system. The microgrid system is tasked with meeting the peak load demand power and primary load demand power for the community, entirely from solar PV and wind farm, whereas in present the region is dependent on diesel generators for fulfilling electricity demand. The overall stability of the microgrid is maintained by employing a small portion of generation mean using redundant diesel generators to meet minimum power requirement of the community for a time being when it's acute and beyond favorable conditions to produce power from renewable energy sources. Finally, simulation study of the microgrid is carried out for various operating conditions and proposed microgrid's feasibility and functionality are observed as tasked earlier.

This paper presents the performance analysis of an integrated renewable energy based power generation system with DC micro grid setup. The designed system comprises of wind generator (WG) system, photovoltaic (PV) panels, battery, charge controllers and DC loads as its major components. PV panels have the major contribution of supply hence it is the primary source for the designed system. WG acts as a secondary source because of its lower contribution in the supply. Lead acid battery is used as an energy storage system (ESS) to make the system more reliable by fulfilling the supply demand gap between the source and load. The proposed system presents a low cost, simple design integrated system based on basic electronic components with key features of stable voltages at load terminals, overvoltage and low voltage protection for load, back feed power flow protection for sources and overcharge and discharge protection for the battery backup. Real time results have been presented and proved that voltages have been maintained at the load terminals with small variation of 10–12%. This makes the system efficient and does not create much adverse effects on the load performance. The proposed system is suitable for off-grid remote areas facilities which offers reliable, cost effective and efficient system that maintains the voltage stability and improves the battery life.

This paper presents a technique for accurate measurement of small capacitive changes. This is based on selecting the most linear part of the curve obtained by charging the capacitor undergoing changes through a known resistor value. This measurement is part of the design of a system for measuring blood glucose content non-invasively. The technique is based on measuring ultra-low low glucose levels in the blood as capacitive changes converted into RC timing constant optimized using a circuit set to trigger at an appropriate time activating a counter. The measured data is captured instant later, selecting the most linear part of the charging curve. The results so obtained are compared with the ones obtained through RC-timing standard procedure. The technique reported is with a remarkable low error of about 2.25% as against 11.78% by the standard RC-timing technique.

The Karst Hoogsteen theory, that bases can also pair up in many different ways, opens up another door of research for scientists. It is found that nucleotide sequences having continuous guanines (G-stack probes) form unusual structures called G-Quadruplex structures due to guanine-guanine (G-G) bindings. Researchers have found that some abnormal behaviors are seen on microarray particularly on Affymetrix GeneChip® and they associated these abnormal behaviors with the formation of G-quadruplex structures due to the presence of G-stack probes. Hence, G-stack probes were suggested unreliable for gene expression measurement. This left another question that if G-G can affect GeneChip® then interaction among other bases like A-A, T-T and C-C may also be problematic for GeneChips®. The main objective of this research is to analyze the effects of T-T binding at probe level data of Affymetrix GeneChip®. Data of HG_U95C GeneChip® designed for Homo Sapiens (Human) is downloaded from NCBI-GEO repository. The abnormal behavior of G-stack probes was shown as the G-stack probes were not correlated with their other member probes while they were correlated with each other regardless of their genes/probe sets. Similarly, the correlation among the T-stack probes is calculated to verify if they are behaving like G-stack probes. The results suggest that thymine-thymine binding does not affect the human chip. Hence it is all fine if T-stack probes are present on any GeneChip® design.

Visiting theme park is one of the most popular activities for spending holiday. However, there is always a long and time-consuming queue which is contradictory to the vacation goal. The previous studies have discussed about how to lessen this queuing problem. Using the classic queuing machine for instance, where book-and-wait approach is used and also the use of more advanced technology such as NFC card reader. Similar ideas can be applied as long as the system can identify the parameter of visitor's number, rides, and the scale of customer satisfaction of queuing. A research implies that redesigning a queuing system using technology has great impact to reduce waiting duration and increase the customer satisfaction. In this paper, a novel about wearable-based system named QBLE is proposed as a reference to solve the queuing problem mentioned above. QBLE enables the visitors to reserve the rides by tapping the wrist-band in the reservation station in order to let the system calculate the queue number and or estimated time. The information will be shown to the user so that they can decide whether enjoying or booking another ride without queuing in one particular line. The system has been tested through hybrid simulation to handle up to 3000 visitors of 16 rides in the period of 9 hours. The evaluation has been done and it shows a positive result.

This paper aims to present how to improve power generation capacity in the State of Kuwait through simulation analysis for maximizing the usage of renewable energy applications. Power demand in Kuwait increases every year by 6% that causes load-shedding problems in the national utility grid system. An effective solution is proposed in this paper to enhance the power demand shortage which leads to reduce the effects of load demands excesses, by employing some solutions in the field of solar energy system. The on-grid solar energy system to be spread on roof of buildings connected to utility grid in Kuwait is a fantastic solution for backing up the increasing power demand. In this paper, the research work is directed towards the study of new approach by adopting power generation system based on PV on-grid systems installed on rooftops of commercial and residential buildings. The system performance analysis is carried out by choosing Mono crystalline PV modules using PSIM software simulation. This simulation covers the analysis of power generated by the PV system as an input passing through a selected maximum power point tracker (MPPT) to achieve the maximum energy output. A control algorithm for power regulation has been developed with maximum power generation of enhanced AC power grid with power factor close to unity. A reliable tracker for the power output was shown by the simulation results generated by the model.

This research proposes an interactive three-dimensional (3-D) application which can be used for modelling and manipulating interior architectural environments. This incorporates the concept of Virtual Reality [1] (VR) giving the user a real world experience. Virtual Reality is a trending technology which is gaining popularity due to the user experience it gives and its effectiveness. The proposed system consists of 4 major components. The user can add objects to the environment either using a description given in natural language or by giving a hand drawn sketch of the objects to be added. Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques will be used to extract object details from the user description and Image Processing techniques will be used to extract object details from the hand drawn sketch. The user can control the 3D environment either by using hand gestures or voice commands. The hand gestures will be captured using a web camera and the voice commands will be captured using a microphone and Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques will be used in order to extract the user's command. The 3-D application will be developed using VRML [2] (Virtual Reality Markup Language) which is a language for describing three-dimensional (3-D) image sequences and possible user interactions to go with them. Using the application developed using VRML, the user can interact with the virtual environment by viewing, navigation, moving and rotating objects within the environment thus it gives the user a feeling as actually living in the environment.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques will be used to extract object details from the user description and Image Processing techniques will be used to extract object details from the hand drawn sketch. The user can control the 3D environment either by using hand gestures or voice commands. The hand gestures will be captured using a web camera and the voice commands will be captured using a microphone and Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques will be used in order to extract the user's command. The 3-D application will be developed using VRML [2] (Virtual Reality Markup Language) which is a language for describing three-dimensional (3-D) image sequences and possible user interactions to go with them. Using the application developed using VRML, the user can interact with the virtual environment by viewing, navigation, moving and rotating objects within the environment thus it gives the user a feeling as actually living in the environment.","PeriodicalId":228333,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Engineering Technologies and Social Sciences (ICETSS)","volume":"8 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132364411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
