Numerical analysis of velocity magnitude on wave energy converter system in perforated breakwater

Waves are an alternative energy source that can be used for electricity generation. Wave Energy Converter (WEC) system in perforated breakwater is potentially applicable WEC system for coastal area. The magnitude of wave energy generated is determined by the volume of sea water inside the perforated breakwater. This volumetric flow rate is calculated using the flow velocity at perforated holes on the structure slope. Therefore, this research aims to study the velocity magnitude by analyzing the interrelation among wave steepness, wave run-up and relative velocity. The method used consists of applying numeric 3D flow model in the perforated structure of the breakwater with the variation of wave height, wave period and structure slope. The result shows that, the steeper the structure, the bigger is the relative run up (Ru/H). The higher the relative run up, the higher are the relative run-up velocities (V/Vru). As the velocity increase, the volumetric flow rate inside perforated breakwater will be higher, which leads to higher wave energy. Hence, it can be concluded that the higher the velocities (V/Vru), the higher is the wave energy generated

A novel algorithm for human fall detection using height, velocity and position of the subject from depth maps

YesHuman fall detection systems play an important role in our daily life, because falls are the main obstacle for elderly people to live independently and it is also a major health concern due to aging population. Different approaches are used to develop human fall detection systems for elderly and people with special needs. The three basic approaches include some sort of wearable devices, ambient based devices or non-invasive vision-based devices using live cameras. Most of such systems are either based on wearable or ambient sensor which is very often rejected by users due to the high false alarm and difficulties in carrying them during their daily life activities. This paper proposes a fall detection system based on the height, velocity and position of the subject using depth information from Microsoft Kinect sensor. Classification of human fall from other activities of daily life is accomplished using height and velocity of the subject extracted from the depth information. Finally position of the subject is identified for fall confirmation. From the experimental results, the proposed system was able to achieve an average accuracy of 94.81% with sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 93.33%.Partly sponsored by Center for Graduate Studies.

Electronic structure of fluorides: general trends for ground and excited state properties

The electronic structure of fluorite crystals are studied by means of density functional theory within the local density approximation for the exchange correlation energy. The ground-state electronic properties, which have been calculated for the cubic structures $CaF_{2}$,$SrF_{2}$, $BaF_{2}$, $CdF_{2}$, $HgF_{2}$, $\beta$-$PbF_{2}$, using a plane waves expansion of the wave functions, show good comparison with existing experimental data and previous theoretical results. The electronic density of states at the gap region for all the compounds and their energy-band structure have been calculated and compared with the existing data in the literature. General trends for the ground-state parameters, the electronic energy-bands and transition energies for all the fluorides considered are given and discussed in details. Moreover, for the first time results for $HgF_{2}$ have been presented

Fabrication of Tm2O3/Al2O3-silica preform by improved MCVD-chelate delivery system

The fabrication of Tm/Al-doped silica preforms by an improved MCVD method with metal chelate precursors is discussed. Two fabrication techniques are employed, namely; simultaneous soot-dopant deposition (or standard MCVD) and stepwise soot-dopant deposition. The preforms are characterized by refractive index profiler and EPMA. The results show that the stepwise soot-dopant technique has a higher incorporation of Al2O3 and Tm2O3 as compared to the simultaneous soot-dopant method. This is due to the drawbacks of our chelate delivery system such as the temperature gradient and flow design. For the stepwise technique, the measured index difference of the preform is 0.006 with 0.8 wt% (maximum) Tm incorporated in the core
