Author(s): Dušan Knežo,Miriam Andrejiová,Zuzana Kimáková,Svetlana Radchenko / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2016

Paper deals with the operations and equipment of the machine in the process of organizing production. During operation machines require maintenance and repairs, while in case of failure or machine wears it is necessary to replace them with new ones. For the process of replacement of old machines with new ones the term renewal is used. Qualitative aspects of the renewal process observe renewal theory, which is mainly based on the theory of probability and mathematical statistics. Devices lifetimes are closely related to the renewal of the devices. Presented article is focused on mathematical deduction of mathematical renewal models and determining optimal lifetime of the devices from the aspect of expenditures on renewal process.

Advancing Pole Arc Offset Points in Designing an Optimal PM Generator

Advancing Pole Arc Offset Points in Designing an Optimal PM Generator

Author(s): Cemil Ocak,İlhan Tarımer,Adem Dalcalı / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2016

In this study, the offset points which locate at the pole arc of the designed 1 kW direct-drive permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) have been changed based on parametric approach, and a performance rise for the designed generator has been observed by changing offset parameters. In order to obtain efficient physical sizes and electrical values of the designed generator, the pole arc offset points have been taken forward gradually by using finite element methods. The effects of different offset points on the generators performance have been simulated and interpreted graphically. It has been shown that changing pole arc offset sizes has decreased harmonics distortion and magnet weight in designing 1 kW PM generator. As a result, the 1 kW PM generator has been obtained with high efficiency, less harmonic distortions at sinusoidal wave and less PM weight at whole generator weight.

An Innovative RFID-Based Solution to Secure Parking Spots for Physically Challenged

Author(s): Sami Miniaoui,Enes Sukic,Nejdet Doğru / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2016

Using RFID Technology is increasingly integrated in our daily life. We are presenting in this paper the secured parking spots for physically challenged -SPSPC- system implementing the RFID technology for managing parking slots of physically challenged. We demonstrated using scenarios (car with tag, car with expired date tag, car without tag) that the -SPSPC- system is able to recognize not only cars equipped with tag -then send accordingly welcoming SMS -but also cars without tags by checking with a step tag fixed in the wall. Operational mode of the -SPSPC- system is illustrated as well as main components, methods, snippets of code and interfaces are presented and commented. In addition, we demonstrated how the -SPSPC- system is providing the tracking of people committing repetitively these violations -by reporting them to the authorities- and generating statistics on parking occupancy rates helping in providing sufficient slots.

CUDA Based Speed Optimization of the PCA Algorithm

CUDA Based Speed Optimization of the PCA Algorithm

Author(s): Salih Görgünoğlu,Kadriye Öz,Abdullah Çavuşoğlu / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2016

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is an algorithm involving heavy mathematical operations with matrices. The data extracted from the face images are usually very large and to process this data is time consuming. To reduce the execution time of these operations, parallel programming techniques are used. CUDA is a multipurpose parallel programming architecture supported by graphics cards. In this study we have implemented the PCA algorithm using both the classical programming approach and CUDA based implementation using different configurations. The algorithm is subdivided into its constituent calculation steps and evaluated for the positive effects of parallelization on each step. Therefore, the parts of the algorithm that cannot be improved by parallelization are identified. On the other hand, it is also shown that, with CUDA based approach dramatic improvements in the overall performance of the algorithm arepossible.

Internet of Persons and Things inspired on Brain Models and Neurophysiology

Author(s): Fernando Luís-Ferreira,Ricardo Jardim-Goncalves / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2013

Living in the twenty first century and being part of a modern society entails being entirely acquainted with the Internet. Business success, research and study rely on intense usage of the Internet, doing most of the activities based on information gathered at the Internet and using diverse kind of services available. The recent development in devices and services, either for computational or mobile operations, has revealed a diversity of paths for the Internet to have impact in our lives, either professional or personal. Without notice, every activity we do is becoming somehow connected to the web in multiple forms that can range from the search of information, the communication between people and information storage at the cloud. Everything seems to be so useful and so destined to promote our life and supply our needs for work, learning or recreation activities. As for the social aspects, Internet has a multitude of opportunities to communicate, to share ideas and to get feedback or news, as it happens, with online newspapers, the blogosphere and social networks. With this pervasive and sometimes implicit integration of the Internet in our lives, we are migrating from traditional way of life to an Internet supported lifestyle with many daily Internet based activities executed by each human being. However, despite this movement of almost putting us in the innards of Internet, we didn’t yet notice a structural change in such infrastructure to cope withour human nature and, in particular, with the way we perceive and feel the world. This article exposes the vision of the authors for a possible shift in Internet paradigms towards effective support of the human nature.
