This work is related to unsupervised automatic speech segmentation. An experiment was carried out on the Frame Distance Array (FDA) algorithm with a main goal of the algorithm parameter tune-up. The experiment was carried out by applying the algorithm on TIMIT corpus and by using MFCC as the speech signal features. The parameters tuned up in this work are the frame length, the frame increment, the number of test frames and the test frame step size. The best combination of values was chosen based on the observations on the detection rate, the miss rate and the false boundary rate. The best parameter tune-up found at 23 ms, 1.5 ms, 9 frames and 2 frames for the frame length, the frame increment, the number of test frames and the test frame step size respectively.

In this paper we evaluated the electric field and self-heating temperature of 3D 3C-SiC/Si MOSFETs. Using the numerical analysis simulator Silvaco Atlas, this device was found to have a critical electric field of 6.68×106 V/cm at a breakdown voltage close to 312V. Using COMSOL program, self-heating effect was investigated, and found that the temperature reached 866K at VDS=312V and VGS=5V.

Ultrasonic imaging applications require real-time acquisition and processing of huge volume of data. Subsequently, reducing the data storage becomes an essential requirement for applications involving ultrasound technology. Compression of the acquired data significantly reduces the storage and also helps in faster data processing. Furthermore, computationally efficient data compression enables real-time data transfer to remote locations for expert analysis. In this study, an efficient implementation of ultrasonic data compression based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is realized on GeForce GT 750M NVIDIA graphical processing unit (GPU) using Open Computing Language (OpenCL). Execution of OpenCL program on GPU allows parallel computing of the compression algorithm to accelerate the computational performance. This study demonstrates that OpenCL implementation of ultrasonic compression algorithm on GPU requires only 0.29 seconds for compressing 33 Mbytes of ultrasonic data into 6.6 Mbytes (80% compression), which makes it suitable for real-time ultrasonic imaging applications.

The goal of this research is to focus and adopt a fast, accurate and reliable fault detection technique and classification method for the high voltage transmission line. The proposed method reduces the outage time and hence this eliminates any possible damage to the other parts of the system. First, detection of the fault is carried out using a new proposed technique that combines three type of relays. Second, the technique isolates the faulty part in a very fast time frame. Finally, classifying the fault is carried out by data recorded using Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based on different ways. The input training data of the recording devices was sampled using Digital Signal Processing (DSP). In this research the data collected from the recorders will be used to classify the fault only because the time is not an important factor as in fault detecting and clearing. Also, all types of faults are investigated for the fault classification. Three methods are used (Phase Current sampling, Phase Shift of the Phase Voltage sampling and Phase Voltage sampling) to evaluate the efficiency, accuracy and the analysis the mean square error.

We describe using auralization to monitor process stack and netstat status on a server or small group of servers. Using the auditory channel is especially useful for monitoring because it can be done without taking much attention. Our contribution is to suggest generating noise-like sounds that more naturally fade into the background, and are less fatiguing over long monitoring sessions. Although our noises are not musically or tonally interesting, they are nevertheless semantically identifiable and succeed in indicating changes of state.

This paper considers a variant of the connected dominating set (CDS) problem in a unit disk graph G = (V, E). The considered problem consists in minimizing the number of CDS vertices that belong to a subset V' ⊆V. As far as we know, this problem has not been treated in the literature. Nevertheless, its resolution would be useful in many communication network applications, such as the selection of relay nodes in heterogenous wireless ad hoc networks where only a subset of powerful nodes (e.g., energy or memory rich nodes) may form the network backbone act as relays, or where it is preferable to select relays from these nodes and minimize the number of non-powerful nodes that act as relays. Replacement of non-powerful nodes might be necessary either at the initialization (after deployment), or during the network lifetime, which justifies the need to minimize their number. The problem is first modeled and reduced to the minimum weighted connected dominating set (WCDS) problem in a vertex weighted graph, and then it is resolved by taking advantage of the simple form of the weight function using integer linear programming (ILP). A heuristic is also proposed for large scale resolution. Simulation results confirms closeness of the proposed heuristic to the optimal solution obtained by the ILP, and scalability of the heuristic.

In this paper, we consider the impact of spectrum fragmentation along the optical single-/multi-path routing transmission on the efficiency of the elastic optical networks. Using O-OFDM multicarrier transmission as a promising technique makes it possible to choose just an adequate portion of available spectrum to satisfy the requested capacity. This involves focusing on the work to reduce the fragmentation effects by dynamically updating and controlling the minimum bandwidth allocation granularity. We investigate the concept of “minimum bandwidth allocation granularity adaptation” to replace using one fixed minimum bandwidth granularity allocation to serve the light path requests over multipath networks. We adopt a dynamic adaptation mechanism that is proportional to the optical link/path bandwidth fragmentation status. Simulation results show that the minimum bandwidth granularity dynamic adaptation based on the optical path fragmentation status offers improved performance over fixed minimum bandwidth allocation granularity with respect to the bandwidth blocking probability, the number of path splitting, and the throughput.

To remain competitive, the manufacturing industry is always innovating and developing new cost-efficient ways to produce goods. That is why today, extensive automation is applied in nearly every type of manufacturing and assembly processes. Automation improves productivity, quality and robustness of products. It also increases the predictability of production lines mainly constituted of asynchronous machines. These machines, however, need regular maintenance. Time-based maintenance is labor-intensive, ineffective in identifying problems that develop between scheduled inspections, and is not cost-effective. For these reasons, researchers and companies are now investigating new methods to develop what is called preventive maintenance. It involves the use of sensors (vibrations, load cells, electrical, etc.) placed on the machine to monitor its actual state in order to detect engine failures. For some years, works presenting interesting methods and results [1-35] have been published, but few of these investigated effective preventive maintenance capable to clearly characterize the type and the importance of failures. In this paper, we propose a new computational approach for detection and characterization of stator faults of asynchronous machines based on electrical signal analysis. Our method is able to detect, locate, and quantify the severity of a failure. To do so, we use the frequency characteristics [6, 7] for simple detection, the currents [6] and the performance speed of the induction machine for localization and quantification of the failures. Moreover, we exploit hyper-volumes in the model of defective asynchronous machines. We present an experiment conducted on a model which shows promising results.

Irradiation introduces some electronic energy levels within the forbidden energy gap of semiconductors. In this paper, the effects of energy levels caused by proton irradiation with different fluences on the device performance of a 4H-SiC Schottky barrier ultraviolet photodiode is investigated. The modeling for resulting energy levels is carried out by a 2D device simulator. Results for electrical and optical properties of the irradiated photodiode compared to the unirradiated one is obtained by simulation. In this paper, it is demonstrated that series resistance changes from 28.8 mΩ for the unirradiated photodiode to 47.8 mΩ for the irradiated photodiode at highest fluence exposure. A significant reduction in quantum efficiency is observed for the photodiode at wavelengths longer than about 270 nm as the irradiation fluence increases.

Thermal stress is known to be a major factor in deteriorating the human performance. The aim of this work is to prototype a data-acquisition system that can accurately record real-time temperature measurements for racecar drivers. The system has to be compact and portable to be accepted by the racecar drivers and league officials. The proposed solution is mixed-signal data acquisition system that integrates a temperature-to-voltage conversion sensor with an analog signal conditioning circuit and a digital data storage component. The system is battery powered and the data points stored in the memory can be easily retrieved and displayed in a spreadsheet application. The results show that created system can store more than 2000 data points with a temperature resolution of around 0.016 °C.
