System On Programmable Chip

For years, DSP has been the dominant tool in implementing gate switching for power inverter. It is a powerful and reliable technology in carrying out complex switching schemes. DSP is still expensive due to its intensive use of resource in chip fabrication. There is no flexibility in making change on hardware once a DSP chip is selected. It is also time consuming in a design development because the learning curve of the DSP is stiff. Recently, a new approach to the problem has emerged. It is called embedded system design. Basically, it is a FPGA system combined with a RISC type microprocessor. This is a robust combination that allows users to pick and choose any functional peripheral devices only as needed. Once the complete hardware platform is decided upon, the circuit is configured and down loaded to a chip. Software codes are then written to run the application. The hardware system is reconfigurable. Designers can always go back to change the hardware with ease in order to improve the performance and to meet the target cost. This is an attempt to utilize the embedded system design also called System on Programmable Chip (SOPC) to perform Space Vector Modulation (SVM) gate switching strategy. The Altera Nios II IDE tool is selected for this task.

Most emergency medical response systems rely on paper triage tags and clipboards to share information during mass-causality incidents (MCIs). However, this procedure has proven labor-intensive, time-consuming, and susceptible to human error. Previous research about electronic triage depend on a small movable device, which can be costly. Therefore, an electronic triage system was developed to facilitate effective patient care during an emergency. In this paper, the design, development, and deployment of an electronic triage system for use by rescuers responding to MCIs and disasters will be discussed. The electronic triage software runs on a small, embedded system with limited memory and computational power that efficiently saves patient records. The software system is easy, user-friendly, can be used with any computer, laptop, or iPhone, and it is applicable in all hospitals. This system includes three interfaces: (1) electronic triage tags depending on the Simple Triage And Rapid Treatment (START) triage protocol; (2) the Sort Triage interface; and (3) the Evacuation interface, which includes hospital information such as the Hospital Treatment Capacity (HTC) and the Hospital Surgical Capacity (HSC). It also includes doctors information and hospitals and doctors can be alerted via e-mail. The system also has a database records file for patients that can be saved then immediately sent to hospitals and rescue centers. The electronic triage system will lay the foundation for reliable and continuously updated network coverage during a MCI. It also will help technologists develop future emergency response systems.

This paper explores the challenges and devised solutions for embedded development which arose during the COVID-19 pandemic. While software development, nowadays with modern tools and services such as git, virtual machines and commu-nication suits, is relatively una˙ected by resource location. That is not the case for firmware and embedded systems, which relies on physical hard-ware for design, development, and testing. To overcome the limitations of remote work and ob-structed access to actual hardware, two ideas were implemented and tested. First, based on inte-grated circuit emulation using QEMU to emulate an ARM core and custom software to facilitate communication with the embedded system. Sec-ond, remote programming and debugging over the internet with a dedicated computer system acting as a middle man between a development environ-ment and physical hardware using OpenOCD de-bugger.

This paper describes the design, development, and implementation of a real-time sensor fusion system that utilizes the classification and weighing plus extended Kalman filter algorithm to derive heading for navigation using inexpensive sensors. This algorithm was previously tested only through postprocessing using MATLAB and is now reprogrammed using Qt and deployed on a Linux-based embedded board for real-time operation. Various data from inexpensive sensors such as global positioning system devices, an electronic compass, and an inertial measurement unit were utilized to ultimately derive a more reliable and accurate heading value. The algorithm flow can be described with the GPS values first being evaluated and classified which are then fused with the EC heading using classification and weighing, whose result is then passed through an EKF to fuse with the IMU data. Real-time tests and trials were done to prove the operational capability of the developed process. The complete setup and configuration processes of the systems for development and deployment via Qt are also provided for those interested to replicate the process.

Abstract Hand transplanting of vegetable seedlings is always been a time consuming and labourious activity which often leads to muscular fatigue. Use of hitech instrumentation increased to achieve precision and automation in agricultural operations. At present the transplanting is done manually which accounts for large amount of hand labour and time. To ensure precision and timeliness in operation, an automatic transplanting based on embedded system for use in seedling transplanters was developed. The developed system consists of feed roller, pro-tray belt, a pair of L-shaped rotating fingers, embedded system, DC and stepper motor. The pro-tray on the belt moves by DC motor whereas, the stepper motor was used to actuate the metering shaft to and from. The ground wheel used to rotate the rotating fingers which eject the seedling from the pro-tray into the delivery box. The performances of the developed system was tested rigorously at four different operating speeds (vf) (1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 km/h) and three angles of pro-tray feed roller (00, 300, 450) for attaining optimum plant to plant spacing in soil bin. The result indicated that percent transplanting and plant to plant spacing was found optimum when speed of operation was 2.0 km/h and angle of pro-tray feed roller was 300. The average plant spacing, transplanting efficiency, furrow closer, angle of inclination and miss planting was 600 mm, 91.7%, 90.3%, 18.30 and 2.1%, respectively. The developed system ensures the precision by sigulating the placement of seedlings at optimum spacing. It also enabled the optimum transplanting rate, the ability to transplant at higher speeds and maintaining proper plant to plant spacing.

The problem and the goal.The urgency of the problem of mathematical description of dynamic adaptive testing is due to the need to diagnose the cognitive abilities of students for independent learning activities. The goal of the article is to develop a Markov mathematical model of the interaction of an active agent (AA) with the Liquidator state machine, canceling incorrect actions, which will allow mathematically describe dynamic adaptive testing with an estimated feedback.The research methodologyconsists of an analysis of the results of research by domestic and foreign scientists on dynamic adaptive testing in education, namely: an activity approach that implements AA developmental problem-solving training; organizational and technological approach to managing the actions of AA in terms of evaluative feedback; Markow’s theory of cement and reinforcement learning.Results.On the basis of the theory of Markov processes, a Markov mathematical model of the interaction of an active agent with a finite state machine, canceling incorrect actions, was developed. This allows you to develop a model for diagnosing the procedural characteristics of students ‘learning activities, including: building axiograms of total reward for students’ actions; probability distribution of states of the solution of the problem of identifying elements of the structure of a complex object calculate the number of AA actions required to achieve the target state depending on the number of elements that need to be identified; construct a scatter plot of active agents by target states in space (R, k), where R is the total reward AA, k is the number of actions performed.Conclusion.Markov’s mathematical model of the interaction of an active agent with a finite state machine, canceling wrong actions allows you to design dynamic adaptive tests and diagnostics of changes in the procedural characteristics of educational activities. The results and conclusions allow to formulate the principles of dynamic adaptive testing based on the estimated feedback.
