Internet of Things (IoT) devices, which have different characteristics in mobility and communication patterns from traditional mobile devices such as cellular phones, have come into existence as a new type of mobile devices. A strict mobility management scheme for providing highly mobile devices with seamless access is over-engineered for IoT devices’ mobility management. We revisit current mob...

Reconfigurable hardware devices make it possible to change the topology of electronic circuits at runtime. Using reconfigurable devices as a platform for Evolvable hardware (EHW) is well suited for real-time adaptive systems. This paper contains a novel approach on how to evolve the parameters for an adaptive digital filter. Both the filter as well as the evolution is implemented in a single Fi...

BACKGROUND Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) likely derive from clones in the primary tumor, suggesting that they can be used for all biological tests applying to the primary cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS The ScreenCell® devices are single-use and low-cost innovative devices that use a filter to isolate and sort tumor cells by size. RESULTS The ScreenCell® Cyto device is able to isolate rare, f...

High quality filters are essential part of vocoders. By means of filter banks structures we can combine modem DSP algorithms with hardware realizations having many parallel identical devices. This paper proposes digital filter realization based on filter bank structure suitable for hardware realization.

Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are becoming increasingly important implementation platforms for digital circuits. This paper focuses on the implementation of Adaptive Infinite Impulse response (IIR) filter on an FPGA using Modified Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Algorithm. The proposed Filter is capable of finding the global optimum solution for system identification problem in less ...

Network devices can filter traffic in order to protect end-user computers against network worms and other threats. Since these devices have very limited memories and cannot deploy filters against every known worm, the traffic can be forwarded to other device during so called filter delegation. In this contribution we present two negotiation based algorithms looking for a good filter delegation ...

We propose this wireless system to send information to people with disabilities (especially deaf people).The most effective...

Introduction: Application of point-of-use (POU) drinking water treatment units is expanding across the world due to the increased concerns about the adverse health effects of water pollution. The main treatment systems of these devices are mostly activated carbon and nano-filter or reverse osmosis. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of using POU units on phy...

Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) are a useful tool for power system stability improvement and control. This research developed new algorithm optimal placement of FACTS devices named the Filter Feeding Allogenic Engineering (FFAE) inspired by filter feeding motile behaviour Engineers.Kenya’s 87-Bus, 25-Generator, 132 kV 220 transmission network was used as test case in Ma...
