Gas detectors have come a long way since the first commercial detector; yet, some though safe and efficient, they are expensive or pose high maintenance cost, others are simple and cheap but lack safety, mobility and efficiency. Gas Ascertainment via Smartphone (GAS) is the recommended detector that is far more advanced, and offers safety, mobility and accuracy, and is affordable by average factory owner. It is a combination of a smartphone application and a small robot. Running on an Android smartphone, the mobile application communicates with a single-board computer placed within the robot. The application's purpose is to receive a live camera stream from the robot, and alerts the user when the gas sensors detect dangerous concentrations. The user controls the movement of the robot through touch buttons found on the smartphone's screen. GAS is expected to make factories and storage departments safer. In addition to being affordable, the user can control the robot's movement via smartphone, over Wi-Fi, from a safe distant, far from the harmful gases. In addition, the user does not need to have any technical background or undergo training to operate the said detector. Moreover, in the future many features can be added to the system to make it satisfy the users' need, such as transmitting data over the Internet, porting the mobile application to other mobile operating systems, and making the robot follow the gas' leakage source.

This research paper is devoted for discussing a Vision-Based Collision Avoidance System that aims to provide the driver with a “third eye” to help him/her to detect obstacles and estimate distance between them and the host vehicles. It is based on a monocular approach of image processing that has one camera, which continuously captures images of the frontal view of the vehicle. Then the captured images are processed in order to detect obstacles, then estimate their distances from the host vehicle and, finally, take decisions to avoid them. The detection algorithm depends on detecting the shadow of the obstacles, as an invariant feature for all types of obstacles. Watershed segmentation technique is used to detect objects and triangulation technique is used to calculate the distance between the host vehicle and the detected obstacle. The proposed system can automatically control electric vehicles.

Providing fair service to users in cellular networks is of significant importance to mobile operators. However, the geographic variability of network coverage and irregularity of user demand in space and time has made consistent fair service provisioning a challenging problem. Therefore, vehicular users traversing small cells experience significant service fluctuations. In this paper we investigate how rate predictions of mobile users can be utilized to improve long-term fairness. We use the α-fair utility function to formulate a predictive long-term resource allocator that improves fair user service over multiple cells. The α-fair utility provides the flexibility to obtain the desired long-term tradeoff between fairness and throughput. Numerical results indicate promising fairness-throughput gains over schemes that do not incorporate user rate predictions.

Integration of distributed generations (DGs) to electrical power systems is now being increasingly applied to act as an auxiliary source of energy with the main power feeder. For the nowadays trend of relying on the renewable energy resources as solutions for environmentally sustainable energy production, Photovoltaic (PV) generators - which are considered a type of inverter-based distributed generators - are considered as one of the promising solutions. In this paper, power flow analysis is presented to assess the performance of a distribution system with grid connected DGs. Multiple load flow solution is used to find the optimal location of DGs while monitoring the network losses and voltage profile at different cases of DGs' locations within the distribution system.

Principal aim of this work is to present a HVDC/FACTS control devices implementation framework for multipurpose on the GCC (Qatar, KSA, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait and UAE) power grid. This framework architecture encompassed of five layers of FACTS control devices (STATCOM, SSSC, and UPFC). This five-layer architecture is designed for its future growth and reusability so that more complex GCC power system problems are addressed within control architecture. This five layers framework-architecture named “FACTS-FRAME” which demonstrates how various FACTS devices are communicating to each other and controlling at different location on the GCC power grid in order to address complex power system issues which are persisting. The FACTS-FRAME is designed to handle and implement distributed control system which has the capability to control and adjust the devices operations as per needs. Based on distributed control the FACTS-FRAME has the capacity and capability to address poor voltage quality, poor load flow control, limited power transfer capacity and power system stability issues through parallel operations of various FACTS devices at different location on the GCC power grid. In order to prove and implement FACTS-FRAME method, numerous mathematical models are derived by considering current operational and safety scenarios to indentify and determine errors between the models how these are communicating to each other for control purposes. Distributed power flow algorithms are also developed in order to understand and implement FACTS devices as appropriate. Conclusively, very much promising results are obtained by establishing integrated multiple FACTS devices “FACTS-FRAME' network on the GCC power grid.

This paper presents a three-to-three phase bidirectional partial resonant AC Link converter. The converter is modeled in MATLAB/SIMULINK software. The converter has three phase fixed input supplying a three phase load at variable voltage and variable frequency. The converter topology uses two bi-directional switches for each leg of the converter resulting in a total of 12 switches. The high frequency charging and discharging of the link inductor is the main criteria for power transfer from input to output. In each cycle a small interval is allocated for resonances which enables the switches for soft zero voltage turn on and turn off. The converter has the ability for buck and boost operation. Simulation and real-time results are shown for the verification of the proposed converter.

Cooperative communication is one of the important basics of the future wireless networks. It is used to improve communication reliability and enhance spectrum efficiency. However, the co-channel interference is still the major problem in degrading transmission performance. Thus, it becomes essential to propose an efficient technique to overcome this interference. In this paper, we introduce a novel cooperative communication scheme with interference management based on the combination of two cooperative techniques: Best Available Relay Selection (BARS) and Best Relay and User Selection (BRUS). This scheme maximizes the received signal to noise ratio (SNR), either while minimizing the interference by selecting an optimal time slot for users or while keeping the interference levels below a certain threshold. We derive exact closed form expressions for the outage probability, ergodic capacity, average consumed power and average Bit Error Probability (BEP) for the introduced cooperative scheme. Then, a comparison between the three techniques is established. Simulations are used to validate the analytical results, as well as to confirm the advantage behind this combination in enhancing interference management and improving system performance.

In forensics, the handedness detection or the classification of writers into left or right-handed helps investigators focusing more on a certain category of suspects. However, only a few studies have been carried out in this field. Classification of handwriting into a demographic category is generally performed in two steps: feature extraction and classification. In this study, we propose a system which extract characterizing features from handwritings and use those features to perform the classification of handwritings with regards to handedness. Classification rates are reported on the QUWI dataset, reaching almost 70% for Left and right Handwriting.

In this paper, a five-phase induction motor drive system supplied using a PWM Voltage source Inverter (VSI) with output LC filter is discussed. The design and performance of drive system with LC filter connected at the output terminals of the PWM inverter is elaborated. The purpose of the filter is to eliminate both high-frequency harmonics of the voltage and current waveforms from the five-phase output voltages of the inverter, reduce the Total harmonic distortion (THD) and smoothing the voltage and current waveforms. Comparison is done between three-phase and five-phase induction motor drive with and without LC filter. The paper shows the simulation results using the MATLAB/SIMULINK of the three-phase and five-phase induction motors before and after adding the LC filter at the output of VSI. Experimental results for Five Phase drive system with LC Filter is presented to validate the simulation results.
