to increase agricultural crops’ quality and to minimize losses in the final product and used energy during the drying process, major drying system parameters should be continuously controlled. precise control of such parameters is attained by using automatic control systems. to optimize the overall dryer efficiency in a forced convective solar dryer, a controller was designed, constructed a...

This letter proposes the use of ultrasound computed tomography (USCT) for handwriting by imaging sound velocity changes in a medium caused rod. The rod was used as writing object, and tomographic instrument able to process data over time with temporal frequency 4 frames per second. Tests are carried out various words letters using USCT automatic software. work shows functional capability offere...

Short-range ambiguous clutter can seriously affect the performance of airborne radar target detection when detecting long-range targets. In this letter, a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) array structure elevation filter (EF) is designed to suppress short-range (SRC). The sidelobe level value in region taken as objective function construct optimization problem and optimal EF weight vector ...

We present a model for detecting user disengagement during spoken dialogue interactions. Intrinsic evaluation of our model (i.e., with respect to a gold standard) yields results on par with prior work. However, since our goal is immediate implementation in a system that already detects and adapts to user uncertainty, we go further than prior work and present an extrinsic evaluation of our model...

An automatic handwashing deviceis a devicethat works automatically by utilizing an infrared sensor as hand detector and using the Arduino Uno main controller. In this study, authors discussed design of Automatic Handwashing Devicethat is placed on hand-sanitizer faucet InfraRed (detecting movements) based Uno. This system includes hardware (Hardware) software (Software). Researchers use descrip...

Automatic acquisition of the prosodic phrase boundary detecting rules from the text and speech corpora has always been a difficulty for TTS systems. We collected over 5,000 sentences as the corpus, introduced a method based on the transform-based error-driven learning to get the rules for detecting prosodic phrase boundaries, and then used trees to organize the rules in the TTS system. For usin...

This letter presents a simple method to simultaneously optimize a multiplicity of design parameters for the adaptive automatic repeat request strategy previously reported, and subsequently provides a quantitative measurement that reflects the appropriateness of the selected parameters. An exact analytical expression that allows us to compute the throughput crossover probability between the two ...

In this letter, a type II hybrid automatic repeat request scheme is considered as a retransmission strategy in a direct-sequence code-division multiple-access packet mobile radio network. An analysis based on the Equilibrium Point Analysis is presented to model the behavior of the system in a message-based traffic generation model. A simulation approach is introduced to validate the proposed an...

A promising therapy for ventricular fibrillation--a life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia--is implantation of an automatic defibrillator. A critical component of such a device is the system that detects the presence of ventricular fibrillation. Automatic systems for detecting ventricular fibrillation have been tested with arrhythmias produced by electric shocks in normal canine hearts, but have n...
