10.11591/ijece.v8i2.pp658-665
Ahmed Younes Shdefat , Moon-Il Joo , Sung-Hoon Choi , Hee-Cheol Kim
In this study, we are proposing a practical way for human identification based on a new biometric method. The new method is built on the use of the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal waveform features, which are produced from the process of acquiring electrical activities of the heart by using electrodes placed on the body. This process is launched over a period of time by using a recording device to read and store the ECG signal. On the contrary of other biometrics method like voice, fingerprint and iris scan, ECG signal cannot be copied or manipulated. The first operation for our system is to record a portion of 30 seconds out of whole ECG signal of a certain user in order to register it as user template in the system. Then the system will take 7 to 9 seconds in authenticating the template using template matching techniques. 44 subjects‟ raw ECG data were downloaded from Physionet website repository. We used a template matching technique for the authentication process and Linear SVM algorithm for the classification task. The accuracy rate was 97.2% for the authentication process and 98.6% for the classification task; with false acceptance rate 1.21%.

Service Time Analysis For Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

10.11591/ijece.v8i2.pp818-824
Junghoon Lee , Gyung-Leen Park
This paper analyzes electric vehicle charging patterns in Jeju City, taking advantage of open software such as MySQL, Hadoop, and R, as well as open data obtained from the real-time charger monitoring system currently in operation. Main observation points lie in average service time, maximum service time, and the number of transactions, while we measure the effect of both temporal and spatial factors to them. According to the analysis result, the average service time is almost constant for all parameters. The charging time of 88.7 % transactions ranges from 10 to 40 minutes, while abnormally long transactions occupy just 3.4 % for fast chargers. The day-by-day difference in the number of charging transactions is 28.6 % at maximum, while Wednesday shows the largest number of transactions. Additionally, geographic information-based analysis tells that the charging demand is concentrated in those regions having many tourist attractions and administrative offices. With this analysis, it is possible to predict when a charger will be idle and allocate it to another service such as V2G or renewable energy integration.

A CMOS temperature sensor circuit with programmable temperature range is proposed for biomedical applications. The proposed circuit consists of temperature sensor core circuit and programmable temperature range digital interface circuit. Both circuits are able to be operated at 1.0 V. The proposed temperature sensor circuit is operated in weak inversion region of MOSFETs. The proposed digital interface circuit converts current into time using Current-to-Time Converter (ITC) and converts time to digital data using counter. Temperature range can be programmed by adjusting pulse width of the trigger and clock frequency of counter.

A Novel Three Phase Multilevel Inverter with Single Dc Link For Induction Motor Drive Applications

10.11591/ijece.v8i2.pp763-770
A. Ramesh , O. Chandra Sekhar , M. Siva Kumar
All industrial drives need a controlled output and it can be achieved by controlling the input supply. In this regard, the inverter circuit plays an important role in the applications of industrial drives. The industrial drives are operated at high rated power and the conventional inverters cannot be applicable for high power demands because of the large dV/dt (rate of change of voltage) and more switching losses. Therefore, multilevel inverters are introduced for high power-medium voltage applications. For all AC drives the MLIs are reliable in operation. This MLI topology also reduces the harmonics and bearings stress of a motor with low dV/dt. In most applications multilevel inverters are used because we can get more number of voltage levels. To increase the number of voltage levels, circuit needs to have more switches. But, we have to optimize the switch count and switching operations. The power level of the inverter is limited due to high currents and stress. In this paper, we proposed a new circuit topology which enables the switches to be active at different voltage levels, causes reduction of the switching losses and also increases the efficiency of the inverter. In this we have presented two configurations for an eleven level MLI for three phase induction motor drive application. In this an individual DC source is connected for each bridge circuit of each phase in one configuration and only one common DC link is used for three phases in another configuration. With this the size, cost and complexity could be decreased. In both the configurations the controlled output of the inverter is connected to the induction motor drive. The circuits are modeled using Matlab/simulink software and corresponding output waveforms are analyzed for both configurations.

Multi Units of Three Phase Photovoltaic using Band Pass Filter to Enhance Power Quality in Distribution Network under Variable Temperature and Solar Irradiance Level

10.11591/ijece.v8i2.pp806-817
Adiananda Adiananda , Agus Kiswantono , Amirullah Amirullah
The paper proposed power quality enhancement on three phase grid of point common coupling (PCC) bus due to integration of multi units of photovoltaic (PV) to 380 volt (phase-phase) 50 Hz low voltage distribution network under variable temperature and irradiance level. The band pass filter models (single tuned and double tuned) were installed to improvement power quality on the conditions i.e. without filter, with single tuned filter, and with double tuned filter. Multi units of PV generator without filter, with single tuned, and with double tuned filter at all temperatures and irradiance levels resulted in relatively stable phase voltage (308 and 310 volt), so able to generate an unbalanced voltage of 0%. The maximum phase current for the system without filter at all temperatures and radiation levels of 9.8, 12.5, and 10 ampere respectively, resulted in an unbalanced current of 16.10% . Under the same condition, single tuned and double tuned filters were able to balance phase current to 10.45 A and 10.44 ampere respectively, resulting in an unbalanced current of 0%. Implementation of single tuned and double tuned filters was able to reduce unbalance current according to ANSI/IEEE 241-1990. At constant temperature and irradiance increased, both average voltage and current harmonics also increased. Double tuned active filter was the most effective to suppress the 11th and 13th harmonics so that capable to migitate average voltage and current harmonics better than system using single tuned filter which could only reduce 5th harmonic within IEEE 519-1992.

Recently, people's interest in health is deepening. So health-related systems are being developed. Existing exercise management systems provided users with exercise related information using PC or smart phone. However, there is a problem that the accuracy of the algorithm for analyzing the user's body information and providing information is low.In this paper, we analyze users' body mass index (BMI) and basal metabolic rate (BMR) and we propose a system that provides the user with necessary information through recommendation algorithm. It informs the user of exercise intensity and momentum, and graphs the exercise history of the user. It also allows the user to refer to the fitness history of other users in the same BMI group. This allows the user to receive more personalized services than the existing exercise management system, thereby enabling efficient exercise.

Service Request Scheduling based on Quantification Principle using Conjoint Analysis and Z-score in Cloud

10.11591/ijece.v8i2.pp1238-1246
R. Arokia Paul Rajan
Service request scheduling has a major impact on the performance of the service processing design in a large-scale distributed computing environment like cloud systems. It is desirable to have a service request scheduling principle that evenly distributes the workload among the servers, according to their capacities. The capacities of the servers are termed high or low relative to one another. Therefore, there is a need to quantify the server capacity to overcome this subjective assessment. Subsequently, a method to split and distribute the service requests based on this quantified server capacity is also needed. The novelty of this research paper is to address these requirements by devising a service request scheduling principle for a heterogeneous distributed system using appropriate statistical methods, namely Conjoint analysis and Z-score. Suitable experiments were conducted and the experimental results show considerable improvement in the performance of the designed service request scheduling principle compared to a few other existing principles. Areas of further improvement have also been identified and presented.

Suriza A.Z. , Sharmin Akter , M. Shahnan
Visible light communication (VLC) is an emerging and promising new technology in optical wireless communication (OWC). However, dimming has an adverse effect on the performance of visible light communication system. In visible light communication (VLC) system, illumination and communication both are provided simultaneously using a light emitting diode (LED). The specification for lighting is application specific for which dimming control is required. There are different modulation techniques for dimming control in visible light communication. In this thesis, NRZ-OOK modulation method and 4-QAM-OFDM modulation techniques are investigated for different dimming range, transmission distance, beam divergence angle and bit rate. The result shows that for 13m link range, 5Gb/s data speed is achievable for the 4-QAM-OFDM scheme. The analysis of this research is executed only based on system parameters. The scope of this research excluded the following parameters which are shadowing, mobility, multipath interference and inter-symbol interference for multicarrier modulation. These are the related research topic which can be investigated for future work.

Multilateration system estimates emitter position using time difference of arrival (TDOA) measurement with a lateration algorithm. The position estimation (PE) accuracy of the system depends on several factors such as the number of ground receiving station (GRS)s deployed, the reference station used and the type of lateration algorithm. In this paper, the 3-D PE accuracy of a four-GRS linear lateration algorithm combined with a GRS reference pair selection (GREPS) technique is determined and compared with two different five-GRS linear lateration algorithms. The two five-GRS linear lateration algorithms chosen for comparison are based on single reference total least square (SF-TLS) and multiple reference least square (MF-LS) approaches. Monte Carlo simulation result comparison shows that the four-GRS linear lateration algorithm with the GREPS technique outperformed the SF-TLS and MF-LS with a reduction in horizontal coordinate PE error of about 50% and 30% respectively, and with a 90% reduction in the altitude error

Madhu Chandra G. , Sreerama Reddy G. M.
Majority of the existing commercial application for video surveillance system only captures the event frames where the accuracy level of captures is too poor. We reviewed the existing system to find that at present there is no such research technique that offers contextual-based scene identification of outliers. Therefore, we presented a framework that uses unsupervised learning approach to perform precise identification of outliers for a given video frames concerning the contextual information of the scene. The proposed system uses matrix decomposition method using multivariate analysis to maintain an equilibrium better faster response time and higher accuracy of the abnormal event/object detection as an outlier. Using an analytical methodology, the proposed system blocking operation followed by sparsity to perform detection. The study outcome shows that proposed system offers an increasing level of accuracy in contrast to the existing system with faster response time.
