Path Planning Control for 3-Omni Fighting Robot Using PID and Fuzzy Logic Controller

This paper addresses a comparison between some control methods of three Omni wheels firefighting robot due to the variety of maneuverability. To achieve path planning for firefighting robot to reach a specific point with the shortest path, a kinematics model of omni wheel robot is applied with some control algorithms based on PID controller, Fuzzy logic controller and self-tuned PID using fuzzy

Carbon-dot-loaded CoxNi1−xFe2O4; x = 0.9/SiO2/TiO2 nanocomposite with enhanced photocatalytic and antimicrobial potential: An engineered nanocomposite for wastewater treatment

Water scarcity is now a serious global issue resulting from population growth, water decrease, and pollution. Traditional wastewater treatment plants are insufficient and cannot meet the basic standards of water quality at reasonable cost or processing time. In this paper we report the preparation, characterization and multiple applications of an efficient photocatalytic nanocomposite (CoxNi1

Merits of photocatalytic and antimicrobial applications of gamma-irradiated Co: XNi1- xFe2O4/SiO2/TiO2; X = 0.9 nanocomposite for pyridine removal and pathogenic bacteria/fungi disinfection: Implication for wastewater treatment

In this paper, we report a layer-by-layer approach for the preparation of a concentric recyclable composite (CoxNi1-xFe2O4/SiO2/TiO2; x = 0.9) designed for wastewater treatment. The prepared composite was investigated by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) supported with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy

A 26.24uW 9.26-ENOB Dynamic RAM Based SAR ADC for Biomedical Applications

This work introduces a new successive approximation register circuit (SAR) for SAR analog to digital converter (ADC) based on Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) cells. Based on the proposed DRAM based SAR ADC and a differential capacitive DAC, a 10-bit 2V ADC is designed in 0.18um CMOS technology. The proposed SAR is compared to traditional SAR to verify that the proposed SAR decreases the power

Fractional-order Memristor Emulator with Multiple Pinched Points

The paper proposes voltage-controlled first-and second-order memristor emulators. The emulators are designed using an operational-transconductance amplifier (OTA) and voltage multiplier blocks plus a fractional-order capacitor. The presented second-order emulator provides two pinched points controlled by order of the employed fractional-order capacitor. Numerical and PSPICE simulation results

Enhanced hardware implementation of a mixed-order nonlinear chaotic system and speech encryption application

This paper introduces a study for the effect of using different floating-point representations on the chaotic system's behaviour. Also, it offers a comparison between the attractors at three different orders, (integer, fractional, and mixed-order). This comparison shows the minimum number of bits needed for all parameters to simulate the chaotic attractor in each case. Numerical simulations using

A Queueing Theory Approach to Small-Cell Assisted IoT Traffic Offloading

Massive numbers of Internet of Things (IoT) connections represent an essential component of the next-generation wireless networks. However, catering for such unprecedented numbers via cellular networks significantly increases the network congestion and degrades the achievable quality of service (QoS). Hence, traffic offloading has been proposed to alleviate the expected high growth rate in

Odd clipping optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing for VLC system

The Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has emerged as one of the promising techniques because of its robustness to multipath fading with high-speed data transmission. Classical bipolar OFDM cannot be used in intensity modulated with direct detection (IM/DD) optical communication systems, as visible light communication (VLC), so many optical modulation techniques as asymmetrical

Single-Transistor Second-Order Allpass Filters

This paper presents two CMOS designs of a second-order voltage-mode allpass filters (APFs) for high-frequency applications. Each of the proposed filters is based only on a single transistor and four surrounding impedances. The first proposed allpass filter is an RL filter while the second proposed one is an RLC filter.

Fractional X-shape controllable multi-scroll attractor with parameter effect and FPGA automatic design tool software

This paper proposes a new fractional-order multi-scrolls chaotic system. More complex systems and flexible ranges of the chaotic behavior are obtained due to the extra parameters added by the fractional-order. The proposed system has novel complex chaotic behaviors. The effect of changing the system parameters on the system behavior is investigated and their bifurcation diagrams have been provided
