By linking common things to the internet and enabling them to interact and carry out diverse tasks, the Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the globe. A huge rise in data has resulted from this connectedness, and the need for energy to power these gadgets is also rising. As the number of IoT devices continues to rise, it is essential to find effective and sustainable ways to power them. By transforming ambient energy into usable electricity, energy harvesting provides a workable answer to the energy dilemma. It is possible to consume the captured energy right now or to store it for later. The practice of capturing minute amounts of renewable energy that would otherwise be lost is known as energy scavenging and it includes a variety of energy sources, including thermal, kinetic, and photovoltaic energy. A two-dimensional numerical simulation investigates the potential of harvesting energy from flow-induced vibrations using different geometrical configurations and harvester dimensions. The Ansys program is utilized to model the flow, combining the shear stress transport model with the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation. The simulation involves TENG to describe the V-Q-x relationship, while piezoelectric transducers employ Euler Bernoulli beam theory. Three tests are conducted for each strategy, utilizing a rectangular prism-shaped bluff body. Results from the numerical simulation, conducted using MATLAB, reveal that the piezoelectric transducer produces a total output power of 84.5 mW, the electromagnetic transducer yields 92.8 mW, and the TENG performs the best, reaching a total output power of 107.0 mW. These findings showcase the potential of energy harvesting techniques for powering IoT devices in a sustainable and efficient manner.

Published: July 2024

With the current trend of individuals seeking more advanced and intelligent devices in their daily lives, artificial intelligence (AI) chips have become the primary focus for numerous industries. To create smarter AI chips, more computing power is often required, which can lead to an increase in power consumption. This paper describes a low power design of the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) using single voltage power gating methodology to reduce power dissipation without affecting ELM's functionality. This is realized by applying power gating and state retention techniques in logic synthesis and physical design of ELM. First, a register transfer level (RTL) ELM was designed in Verilog based on the C code of ELM. Then, its functionality was verified by the testbench using VCS. Subsequently, Design Compiler (DC) tool, which was set-up with the inclusion of libraries containing power gating components, was used to synthesize the RTL into a netlist. The hotspot module was identified by compiling the design along with testbench, and timing constraints. The hotspot is where the power gating was implemented after it was described in Unified Power Format (UPF). Then, power analysis was done in PrimeTime tool. By switching power switch on and off, the total power was decreased from 0.1127V to 0.0784V which is 30.43% reduction. In physical design of ELM, power switches are synthesized in array style. Other physical layout design flow such as floorplan, power network synthesis, placement, and clock tree synthesis (CTS) were also performed.

Published: July 2024

One of the challenging research in real-time applications like video surveillance, automated surveillance, real-time tracking, and rescue missions is Human Action Recognition (HAR). In HAR complex background of video, illumination, and variations of human actions are domain-challenging issues. Any research can address these issues then only it has a reputation. This domain is complicated by camera settings, viewpoints, and inter-class similarities. Uncontrolled environment challenges have reduced many well-designed models' performance. This paper aims to design an automated human action recognition system that overcomes these issues. Redundant features and excessive computing time for training and prediction are also issues. We propose hybrid model having four modules: the first one is Encoder-Decoder Network (EDNet) need to extract deep features. The second one is an Improved Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (iSIFT) needs to reduce feature redundancy. The third one is Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA) algorithm to reduce feature redundancy. The fourth one is the Weighted Fusion strategy to merge properties of different essential features. The proposed technique is evaluated on two publicly available datasets, including KTH action dataset and UCF-101, and achieves average recognition accuracy of 94% and 90%, respectively.

Research was conducted at a company that manufactures automotive components for both two- wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles which are made from aluminum as the raw material. The processes in this company are die casting, machining, assembly, & painting. In this research, the author focuses on examining the die casting process. The OEE value in May, June & July 2023 did not reach the target of 85% of the target set by the company and the forecast for 2024 could not be met. This research discusses how to increase productivity so that the output from the die casting process increases and increases the OEE results on machines no. 2 and no. 6. Then the value, semi-value and non-value movements were classified using theoretical value production (TVP) and the results of discussions with experienced people in their fields through focus group discussions, obtained a cycle time of 40 seconds with a value movement of 9.95 seconds, semi-value of 23.08 seconds, and non value of 6.91 seconds. Meanwhile, for machine no. 6, the cycle time value obtained was 37 seconds with a movement value of 7.99 seconds, semi value of 22.40 seconds, and non value of 6.61 seconds. PDCA analysis was carried out on non-value movements through focus group discussions. The results of the PDCA analysis provide improvement ideas based on improvement categories with eliminate, combine, re- range, simplify (ECRS). From the results of the repair simulation, it was found that the cycle time on machine no. 2 was reduced by 6.91 seconds to a total of 33.03 seconds with a productivity of 1.27. Meanwhile, for machine no. 6, it decreased by 6.61 seconds to a total of 30.39 seconds with a productivity of 1.29. This research provides very useful insights and can be implemented on all machines in the company.

Subdural empyema (SDE) is an intracranial collection of purulent material located between the dura and the arachnoid mater. It is a serious central nervous system infection which can cause neurological sequelae and high mortality. We report one of the rare cases of SDE secondary to Neisseria meningitidis to underline the interest of evoking this diagnosis especially in patients not responding to standard antimicrobial therapy.

Agriculture in Kenya is the backbone of the economy. One of the general objectives of teaching Agriculture in our Kenyan secondary schools is to enable students and teachers to take part in national development through Agricultural activities. The main objective of this study was to establish the influence of teacher post-training skills enhancement on the implementation of the Agriculture curriculum in public secondary schools in Kimilili sub-county of Bugoma Kenya. The study used functional curriculum theory and adopted a descriptive survey design. The researcher used questionnaires to obtain data on teacher factors in the implementation of the Agriculture curriculum. The study's targeted population was 49 public secondary schools that included 49 secondary school principals, 49 heads of department, 49 Agriculture teachers, and 784 Agriculture students. The study employed the Gay formula to calculate the sample size of 187 respondents including 10 secondary school principals, 10 heads of department, 10 teachers of agriculture and 157 students of Agriculture. The study employed simple random sampling to get the number of school principals in Kimilili Sub County; purposive sampling was used on students of Agriculture, teachers and heads of department. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected using questionnaires. Quantitative data was analyzed by descriptive statistics such as frequencies percentages and means. the study established that post-training skills enhancement had a significant positive effect on the implementation of the Agriculture Curriculum

The education system will undergo radical change during the next decade. There will be a lot of people leaving and a lot of new people coming in, mostly because of retirements caused by people becoming older. New professional standards are being established to address the difficulties of the information society, and with that comes stricter criteria and higher expectations for educators. "The challenge is to avoid generational self-renewal," says Mayer. "The challenge is to be unconstrained by old or re-worked notions of what it means to be an Australian teacher." The MCEETYA Teacher Quality and Educational Leadership Taskforce (TQELT) commissioned a study of the teaching workforce in March 2003 to prepare for these changes and to help address the challenge, focusing on teachers in their first ten years of employment in public, Catholic, or independent schools.

A wide range of abilities, such as the capacity to observe, communicate, collaborate, make sound judgements, and make decisions, are required in educators. Finding concrete ways that teachers might utilise to promote greater reflective thinking is the primary goal of this research. This will be accomplished by contrasting the amounts of reflective thinking abilities held by veteran educators with those of recently licensed educators. Two new tools, the Reflective Thinking Attributes (RTA) and the Profile of Reflective Thinking Attributes (PRTA) instruments, are developed to evaluate teachers' capacity for reflective thinking. The researchers set out to do just that by providing a detailed account of the choices made by both seasoned educators and those just starting out in the subject as they planned and led two different forms of PE classes. The students' natural inquisitiveness was the primary tool that inexperienced educators used to maintain order in the classroom.
