Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Development of Sensor Based Traffic Light SystemA. Albagul, M. Hrairi, Wahyudi, M. F. HidayathullahThe main object of this study was to design and implement a suitable algorithm and its simulation for an intelligent traffic signal simulator. The system developed is able to sense the presence or absence of vehicles within certain range by setting the appropriate duration for the traffic signals to react accordingly. By employing mathematical functions to calculate the appropriate timing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 6 Mar 2006 · 8,863 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFault Reconstruction Using Sliding Mode ObserversK. Hakiki, B. Mazari, A. Liazid, S. DjaberIn this study, a nonlinear sliding observer is proposed to explicitly reconstruct fault signals. The novelty lies in the application of the equivalent output injection concept. Previous work in the area of fault detection has used disruption of the sliding motion to detect faults. The aim of the present study was to design a robust observer that slides in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,680 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Compressing Ultrasonic Data Algorithm Based on WaveletsMounir Hergli, Jamel Baili, Faouzi Bouslama, Kamel BesbesIn this paper, we propose a novel and effective algorithm for compressing large volumes of data recorded in underwater applications, using a laboratory designed experimental setup. This data represents samples of ultrasonic signals acquired at different geometric positions of a water tank. The proposed algorithm was based on Wavelets and consists of two processing phases including a prefiltering stage using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,000 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeaker Recognition Using Spectral Cross-correlation: A Fast AlgorithmZoubir HamiciThis study presents an original algorithm for computing the cross-correlation function applied for speech recognition A spectral correlation estimation algorithm based on the comparing the magnitude spectrum of the two signals is presented. The number of samples is reduced by a factor of two, after eliminating the image spectrum. A moving average filter is used to smooth the magnitude spectrum … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 19 Oct 2005 · 5,013 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Bit Error Rate Performance of Multi Tone Channel Utilising De-OQPSK and De-Off Set 16 QAM with Guard IntervalIbrahim A.Z. QatawnehDigital communications systems use Multi tone Channel (MC) transmission techniques with differentially encoded and differentially coherent demodulation. Today there are two principle MC application, one is for the high speed digital subscriber loop and the other is for the broadcasting of digital audio and video signals. In this study the comparison of multi carriers with OQPSK and Offset 16 QAM … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,847 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntensity Position Modulation for Free-Space Laser Communication SystemF. Faghihi, A. JangjooIn this study a novel analog modulation-demodulation technique for free-space laser communication system called Intensity Position Modulation (IPM) is carried out. According to TEM00 mode of a laser beam and by linear fitting on the Gaussian function as an approximation, the variation of the linear part on the reverse biased pn photodiode produced various currents. Our simulated results show fine … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2005 · 6,601 accessesView PDFCite
