The topic of paralysis has gained a lot of interest among scientist over the last years. Therefore, many projects were made for patients suffering from paralysis, yet none has succeeded in achieving an effective way to give these patients the ability to control their paralyzed body parts. This paper proposes a robotic upper-limb exoskeleton guided using 3D object detection and recognition and controlled via Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The proposed system is dedicated to patients with complete monoplegic, hemiplegic and quadriplegic paralysis. The main objective of the system is to give these patients the ability to move their upper-limb, and control a wheelchair using their thoughts, which offers them independence, better life quality and assist them in leading active roles in the society. This system consists of four main components, namely, EEG module, infrared (IR) depth camera, 3D printed upper-limb exoskeleton and a motorized wheelchair. The former two are used as inputs to the system and the collaboration between them shows the uniqueness of the proposed approach. EEG signals are segmented and classified through Fuzzy Logic technique and the results are used for choosing the desired object for grabbing from the surface of a table. Movement to the desired object is executed based on the 3D coordinates obtained from the IR depth camera, while inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor is placed on the arm as a feedback element to ensure accurate movement and proper safety measures. System prototype showed sufficient results for the proposed idea.

Network-on-Chip (NoC) has emerged as an innovative solution to the communication bottlenecks of the System-on-Chip (SoC) designs. Being an emerging technology, this field requires an extensive research to cope up with the design challenges of the on-Chip networks. In this research work, we have developed and proposed a unified simulation framework named as ENoCTweak for the simulation and analysis of the important parameters such as latency, throughput. energy and power of the NoC system. This framework is mainly an enhanced and updated version of a well-known simulator NoCTweak with additional performance parameters and integration of different NoC components and simulation platforms. Important components from NOCMAP and ReliableNoC simulators are also integrated into the framework of the proposed ENoCTweak simulator. In this platform, we have embedded different mapping algorithms, like Branch & Bound (BB), Simulated Annealing (SA), Segmented Brute-Force Mapping (SBMAP), Branch & Bound based Exact Mapping (BEMAP), and Optimized Near-optimal Mapping (ONMAP) algorithms, in addition to the existing NMAP and Random algorithms. An External Mapping (EXMAP) setup is also developed to evaluate the mapping results of the existing NoC simulation platforms. In addition to the 2D mesh, other topologies like torus and folded torus are implanted to improve the simulation capabilities of the ENoCTweak simulator. Bit energy model along with the CMOS energy models are added to the simulation framework to enhance the characteristic performance of the simulator.

This paper proposes a novel approach that classifies the images of various marijuana/cannabis leaves into their respective classes of strains and types. The proposed architecture works on a two-fold technique which when implemented in the requisite sequence delivers phenomenal results to the classification problem statement. The first fold, being the segmentation or foreground extraction in the images, focuses on extracting the RDI (Region of Interest) using a robust segmentation algorithm which can suitable separate the foreground from the image; and the second fold, being the Deep Learning aspect focuses on the result classification task. This literature gives a quantitative analysis of implementing this classification problem vide a transfer learning paradigm (for application instances with less training data in hand) & training the entire CNN archetype from scratch (for application instances with sufficient training data in hand). Thus, altogether the proposed methodology distinctively deploys ConvNets for the posed classification problem having dual aspects of approaches & implementation wiz: a) Transfer Learning & b) Training the entire CNN from scratch. The novelty of the proposed work can be counted upon as the construction of a robust algorithm very first of its kind in this respective application domain which is potent enough to render the correct class label of the strain/type of marijuana or cannabis leaf image when fed to the system for classification.

The proliferation of mobile computing and communication devices are driving a revolutionary change in our information society. Among all the applications and services run by mobile devices, network connections and corresponding data services are without doubt the most demanded services by mobile users. A MANET is a continuously self-configuring, infrastructure-less network of mobile devices connected without wires, which makes it ideal for the present scenario. But, due to lack of any centralized infrastructure and access to trusted authorities, the security in MANET poses a huge threat. The prominent routing protocols we know are generally designed for environments where the nodes within a network are non-malicious. Due to the vulnerable nature of the mobile ad hoc network, there are numerous security threats that disturb its development. We propose a routing protocol called Acceptability Based Clustering Routing Protocol (ABCP) for MANETs, which ensures secure routing through the network: by electing a Cluster head on the basis of Acceptability score, after which a node only communicates to that secure Admin node. This selection of secured admin nodes results in mitigation of various threats. We have evaluated our proposed protocol by simulating and comparing in GloMoSim 2.03.

This paper proposes a solution to facilitate on-orbit satellite communication data integrity and security by utilizing blockchain technology. A proliferating demand has created a growing reliance on satellites for communications, GPS, imagery, and other uses. The decreased cost of entry into the space industry has increased the number of entrants and also the number of satellites and the amount of space debris. These orbital debris pose a serious threat to spacecraft. Therefore, tracking these objects is crucial. Blockchain technology offers a unique solution to this problem by utilizing functions, processes, and information already incorporated into satellites while maintaining a maximum of forty-eight hours of data. The use of blockchain provides a high level of trusted positional data that can be used to predict and avoid collisions which will save billions of dollars and valuable time. This paper provides a technological design, rational, and risk analysis of this proposal.

The demand-controlled ventilation as an advanced control approach is one of the recent developments in smart building technologies. The aim is the optimization of energy consumption, occupant comfort and air quality based on cost-effective, flexible, scalable, and low-power wireless sensor and actuator networks that facilitate monitoring and control of the building automation system. However, the device nodes and communication routes are error-prone due to various types of faults. When a fault arises in the network or in the nodes, the sensor nodes may produce erroneous data and the actuator nodes' behavior can differ from their expected action on the physical plant. Therefore, this study successfully explicates a novel fault injection framework as a tool that scholars can simply monitor the behavior of this system in the occurrence of different types of faults which are artificially injected or add their own desired type of fault to this framework. Then, authors indicate the fault-error-failure propagation model in component level and system level. The final aim of authors is to use this framework for their future research of testing fault detection and diagnosis methods. This demand-controlled ventilation and heating system is created based on wireless sensor and actuator networks which is more compatible with reality as the wireless communication is very prevalent nowadays and this wireless model is validated by the previous cabled model. The literature research by the authors indicates the excellence of the ZigBee protocol for building automation. In the result section, some samples from the behavior of the system in healthy-mode and faulty-mode in the format of temperature signals as the controlled variable and the comparison of energy consumption of heating system in healthy mode and different faulty modes are shown.

The main objective of this research work is to design a multiband reconfigurable patch antenna for millimeter wave applications. In this paper, a slotted circular patch antenna is designed on Polymide substrate material with dielectric constant 3.5. To reconfigure patch antenna, two MEMS switches are placed within slots inside the patch and are investigated under four different conditions by alternatively turning ON/OFF MEMS switches. The different performance parameters such as return loss, gain and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) are measured and it is found that the proposed antenna is efficiently resonating on three frequency bands by tuning the switches with effective gain and VSWR. The proposed reconfigurable antenna is resonating on important frequencies such as 30GHz, 35GHz, 45GHz and 60GHz with effective gain and VSWR without changing the dimension of patch antenna. This antenna can be used for millimeter waves based high speed short range wireless communications, sensing and security applications.

Modern paradigm of Software Defined Networking (SDN) inspired researchers to solve many of the network and security challenges in crucial fields such as the Smart Grids. However, integrating SDN within Smart Grid context raised many challenges in terms of network and security management such as the optimal design of SDN controller's placement. Recent researches proposed the Controller Placement Problem (CPP) to determine the optimal number and locations of SDN controllers in extremely wide area networks. In this paper, we present a solution to the CPP problem within Smart Grid context. Our simulation results demonstrate the optimal SDN controller(s) placement considering the preferred metrics and the trade-off computation between these metrics.
