High Speed, Approximate Arithmetic Based Convolutional Neural Network Accelerator

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms have been widely used in many applications especially for image recognition. However, the growth in CNN-based image recognition applications raised challenge in executing millions of Multiply and Accumulate (MAC) operations in the state-of-The-Art CNNs. Therefore, GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs are the feasible solutions for

Gripping Force Modeling of a Variable Inclined Air Pillow Soft Pneumatic Actuator

Soft pneumatic actuators grasping tasks is one of the essential rules in robot manipulation methods. The grasping forces can be adapted to handle delicate and hard objects without leaving any damages on the object surfaces. This paper investigates the influence of the inclination angle of the soft pneumatic actuator (SPA) on its gripping force at its end tip. A range of inclination angles for SPA

Extracting Optimized Bio-Impedance Model Parameters Using Different Topologies of Oscillators

This paper demonstrates the possibility of extracting the single-dispersion and double-dispersion Cole-bio-impedance model parameters using oscillators (sinusoidal or relaxation). The method is based on replacing selected components in the oscillator structure with the biological sample under test and then using the Flower Pollination optimization Algorithm (FPA) to solve a set of nonlinear

Neural Knapsack: A Neural Network Based Solver for the Knapsack Problem

This paper introduces a heuristic solver based on neural networks and deep learning for the knapsack problem. The solver is inspired by mechanisms and strategies used by both algorithmic solvers and humans. The neural model of the solver is based on introducing several biases in the architecture. We introduce a stored memory of vectors that holds up items representations and their relationship to

Swarm intelligence application to UAV aided IoT data acquisition deployment optimization

It is feasible and safe to use unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as the data collection platform of the Internet of things (IoT). In order to save the energy loss of the platform and make the UAV perform the collection work effectively, it is necessary to optimize the deployment of UAV. The objective problem is to minimize the sum of the lost energy of UAV and the loss of data transmission of Internet

Communication-The Ragone Plot of Supercapacitors under Different Loading Conditions

The power-energy performance of supercapacitors is usually visualized by the Ragone plot of (gravimetric or volumetric) energy density vs power density. The energy is commonly computed from E = CV2/2, and the power from P = E/Δt, which assume RCbased models. In this study, we investigate the energy-power profiles of two commercial supercapacitors discharged with three different types of loads: (i)

Combined effect of wind speed and covering irrigation canals on water quality parameters

Wind has a considerable effect on many water quality parameters. Some of the parameters are directly affected by the wind, while others are influenced by other physical water parameters like the velocity, temperature. etc. that are affected by wind and hence transfer their effect to water quality parameters. As the wind has an effect on water quality parameters, also covering waterways has a great

Extraction of bioimpedance phase information from its magnitude using a non-uniform Kramers–Kronig transform

A novel non-uniform Kramers–Kronig Transform algorithm for bioimpedance phase extraction is proposed and tested in this work. The algorithm error is studied and compared with a previously proposed phase extraction technique, also based on the Kramers–Kronig transform. Results using simulated datasets and experimental datasets confirm the excellent performance of the algorithm. © 2020, European
