Made Sudarma
Script writing art in the lives of Balinese people has a very important function, particularly in terms of writing a sacred script such as writing an inscription on copper plate, bronze, silver, and gold, by using a penknife which required a persistence, patience, skill and experience by itself, since not all Balinese people is able to do this very complicated work.  Considering the difficulty in writing a script on papyrus and the rarity of script writer experts, therefore the researcher gives appreciation on papyrus preservation and conservation. In the present time, sophisticated technology has replaced manual equipments which required a lot of manpower to be operated. Maybe also the inscription writing model with ancient language and writing has been done so many times with computer technology by using the printer as the interface for printing.  In this research the Balinese script printing tools will be designed namely a penknife using robotic technology which mimicking human hand’s motion when writing a script on papyrus. Thought the script tool printer design through robotic technology in order to write a script on palm leaves is an important role of technology as an innovation strategy that is able to create new thinking, new ideas and inovation creative products. Eventually is also expected to satisfy the user as consumer and a new creative market.

Design and Implementation of Performance Metrics for Evaluation of Assessments Data

10.11591/ijere.v5i3.4545
Irfan Ahmed , Arif Bhatti
Evocative evaluation of assessment data is essential to quantify the achievements at course and program levels. The objective of this paper is to design performance metrics and respective formulas to quantitatively evaluate the achievement of set objectives and expected outcomes at the course levels for program accreditation. Even though assessment processes for accreditation are well documented but existence of an evaluation process is assumed. This work provides performance metrics such as attainment, student achievement, and x-th percentile for the evaluation of assessment data at course and program level. Then, a sample course data and uniformly distributed synthetic data are used to analyze the results from designed metrics. The primary findings of this work are twofold: (i) analysis with sample course assessment data reveals that qualitative mapping between marks obtained in assessments to the defined outcomes is essential for meaningful results, (ii) analysis with synthetic data shows that higher values of one metric does not imply higher values of the other metrics and they depend upon the obtained marks distribution. In particular, for uniformly distributed marks, achievement < attainment for meanOfUniformDistr. < averageMarks < passingT hreshold(α). Authors hope that the articulated description of evaluation formulas will help convergence to high quality standard in evaluation process.

Queue management system is designed in organizing queues at service sectors like banks and post offices, which expected to have a large number of customers daily. Conventional ways of managing queues like issuing paper tickets printed with queue number, leads to several problems such as paper tickets littering and also long queueing or waiting time. Therefore, this paper presents the development of a system to manage queues more efficiently and eco-friendly. The proposed system consists of a Graphical User Interface (GUI), which is used to obtain customers’ mobile phone numbers and the processing unit, which generates the queue number and initiate the ticket to be sent to customers’ mobile phones via SMS, thus replacing the utilization of papers. Moreover, this system additional features allow customers to remotely obtain their queue number just by sending request to the system through SMS, and also reminding the upcoming customers that their turns are nearly arriving, a feature which is very useful especially for those who are waiting outside the premise. Simulations and experimental tests were conducted to ensure the reliability and the efficiency of the proposed system. The proposed system is supporting the development of sustainable green technology, and the expected increase of system efficiency may contribute in improving customers’ satisfaction.

Currently, ultrasonography device become an important equipment for supporting diagnosis in diesases. Unfortunetaly, a lot of ultrasonography images do not provide enough information for supporting diagnosis especially images produced by low-resolution ultrasonography. It is caused by image quality that has been produced is inadequate because of noise. This research aims to improve image quality by modifying brightness and contrast to the edge detection algorithms. By modifying the brightness and contrast will cause the value of standard deviation of the ultrasonography image is lowered. Raising setting values will cause deviation standard value becomes smaller, and also the result of standard deviation is inversely proportional to the value of RMSE.  The results show that this modification can improve image quality by reducing noise significantly.

This paper describes the design and implementation of H-infinity controller applied to the AR.Drone to follow a given trajectory. The trajectory will be achieved by using two control signals, pitch and roll. Pitch and roll of the AR.Drone models are obtained by assuming that the transfer function of internal control for pitch and roll is the second order system. Two schemes of H-infinity controller designed for pitch and roll. H-infinity control for x-position has exogenous input of the x-reference, xref, control input of pitch value, exogenous output in the form of x-position and process output as error x. While H-infinity control for y-position has exogenous input of y-reference, yref, control input in the form of roll value, exogenous output of y-position and process output as error y. The results of simulation and implementation show that drone can follow multiple references of trajectories given.

Dish-Stirling concentrating solar power systems is an efficient and reliable source of renewable energy. In this paper, the proposed model showed the idea of Parabolic Dish (PD) systems with control system model which vary the amount of working gas in the Stirling engine. The control systems were designed using Matlab /Simulink 2012a. Based on the developed linearized model, an improved temperature controller with transient droop characteristic and Mean Pressure Control (MPC) has been proposed. This temperature controller was effective in reducing the temperature and improving performance of the PD system. The overall performance of the system improved more than 78% in output power and energy. Besides, the system improved in term of sensitivity compared with the PD system without compensated. In addition, thermal losses decreased to 97.6% which is directly have significant improvement for the output efficiency to the system. The analysis shows that the PD system is feasible in term of technical but not economically feasible in the Malaysia environment.

In view of the improvement measures of the optimization control algorithm for the ignition system of the hydrogen-fueled engine, the L-M neural network algorithm, Powell neural network algorithm and the traditional BP neural network algorithm are used to optimize the ignition system. The results showed that L-M algorithm not only can accurately predict the hydrogen-fueled engine ignition timing, but also has high precision, high convergence speed, a simple model and other outstanding advantages in the training process, which can greatly reduce the workload of human engine bench tests. Only a small amount of engine bench test is carried out, and the obtained sample data can be used to predict the ignition timing under the whole working conditions. The mean square error of the optimization results based on L-M algorithm arrives at 0.0028 after 100 times of calculation, the maximum value of absolute error arrives at 0.2454, and the minimum value of absolute error arrives at 0.00426.

Various standard in digital television broadcasting system has been developed in the world, one of which is the Digital Terrestrial Multimedia Broadcasting, or abbreviated as DTMB that currently used by China and Hong Kong. DTMB has several standard configurations and parameters. In this research, DTMB system was designed and the results was validated through simulation using computer program, named Simulink. The parameters used in this research is the FEC with code rate of 0.4, 4QAM modulation, interleaver mode 1 and using a single carrier transmission mode. Stream format used in the simulation was MPEG2-TS as the input for DTMB system. Parameters selection was based on low implementation complexity, but with good results. Two important things in DTMB system is the existence of FEC and TDS-OFDM. FEC consists of cascaded BCH as the outer encoder/decoder (codec) and LDPC as the inner codec. The reason of using TDS-OFDM because it provides better picture quality when the receiver is in motion. The test results have shown that for static video, DTMB was able to receive video with identical quality compared to the original video, when the value of SNR=11dB and SNR=12dB for dynamic video. It is shown that after going through the process from LDPC to BCH, the number of bit errors decreased while the value of SNR increased.

Real time applications delivering multimedia data over wireless networks still pose many challenges due to high throughput and stringent delay requirements. Overlay networks with multipath transmission is the promising solution to address the above problems. But in wireless networks the maintenance of overlay networks induce additional overheads affecting the bulky and delay sensitive delivery of multimedia data. To minimize the overheads, this work introduces the Error Compensated Data Distribution Model (ECDD) that aids in reducing end to end delays and overheads arising from packet retransmissions. The ECDD adopts mTreebone algorithm to identify the unstable wireless nodes and construct overlay tree. The overlay tree is further split to support multipath transmissions. A sub packetization mechanism is adopted for multipath video data delivery in the ECDD. A forward error correction mechanism and sub-packet retransmission techniques adopted in ECDD enables to reduce the overhead and end to end delay. The simulation results presented in this paper prove that the ECDD model proposed achieves lower end to end delay and outperforms the existing models in place. Retransmission requests are minimized by about 52.27% and bit errors are reduced by about 23.93% than Sub-Packet based Multipath Load Distribution.

Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) which exhibit unique and tremendous optical properties have been undergoing quick growth in recent years. Studies on the characteristics of various types of PCFs have been reported. However, characterization on erbium-doped PCF has not previously been investigated. Therefore, in this paper, an erbium-doped core PCF having 7 rings of hexagonal air holes has been modeled. A perfectly matched layer (PML) is modeled within the PCF structure and simulated using Finite Element Method (FEM) using COMSOL software. The PML is optimized by varying the radius and thickness of the layer. Modal properties of the PCF have been investigated in terms of its effective index of the supported fundamental mode, confinement loss and thickness of the perfectly matched layer. This erbium-doped PCF has a confinement loss of 1.0E-6 at 1500 nm and a maximum effective refractive index of 1.476. This paper gathers useful data, which could be used for studying the characteristics of a PCF.

Chinnapettai Ramalingam Balamurugan , S.P. Natarajan , T.S. Anandhi
The multi level inverter system is habitually exploited in AC drives, when both reduced harmonic contents and high power are required. In this paper, a new topology for three phase asymmetrical multilevel inverter employing reduced number of switches is introduced. With less number of switches, the cost, space and weight of the circuit are automatically reduced. This paper discusses the new topology, the switching strategies and the operational principles of the chosen inverter. Simulation is carried out using MATLAB-SIMULINK. Various conventional PWM techniques that are appropriate to the chosen circuit such as PDPWM, PODPWM, APODPWM, VFPWM and COPWM are employed in this work. COPWM technique affords the less THD value and also affords a higher fundamental RMS output voltage.

The reliability of satellite data communication can be enhanced by designing two subsystems involving data communication among subsystem and data communication between satellie and Ground Station (GS). In this paper, Error Control Coding (ECC) is applied in satellite data communication with Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) method. Further, bit error checking uses the calculation of 15 bit Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) Controller Area Network (CAN) standard. The calculation of CRC is attached in CAN frame over IP communication protocol between primary OBC and secondary OBC. OBC is designed by implementing Triple Modular Redundant system on a Linux-based operating system. The CAN frame over IP simulation with manual input is found to correct all corrupted data. When the simulation uses NetEM, the system corrects 100 % data with 0-10 % value of corruption with maximum time transfer of 84.472 seconds. ION DTN is also found to correct all corrupted data with values from 0 to 2 % and maximum delay at an altitude of 50,000 kilometer orbit using NetEm for TMTC mission. The testing results show that the system will keep carrying out its mission as long as a fault does not occur on all three OBC at the same time.
