Currently, the Database Management System (DBMS) keeps growing and is available on various platforms. The use of various types of DBMS in a system can cause problems with limitations in the synchronization process because each DBMS only provides synchronization methods for similar DMBS. Previous research has examined heterogeneous database synchronization algorithms on mobile devices using the Message Digest 5 (MD5) method. The process of synchronization with this method is done by comparing the hash values of each record data in the source table with the data hash values in the destination table. If a different hash value is obtained, the synchronization process is based on the type of transaction that has been determined. Based on the principle of work, this algorithm requires a long synchronization time for large-scale databases because it has to check the hash values of each data record. This study examined the performance analysis of the DBMS synchronization method using MD5. The testing was performed by observing the parameters of execution time of synchronization ptocess for the MySQL DBMS and PostgreSQL types. The results showed that the execution time of the MD5 synchronization process was proportional to the number of data records that need to be synchronized. This is because the hashing process that must be done on every data record and synchronization mechanism requires all data to be sent to check and compare the hash values of each data record in the destination synchronization database even though the data has not changed.

This paper presents a battery management system on a self-powered smart shoes application. As a mobile device, smart shoes have limited battery reserves and are separated from installed energy sources. The use of batteries must be as save as possible so that the device can still function while in use. Smart shoes can sense heart rate and oxygen levels in blood. Both collected data is encapsulated in a single frame prior to sending it to the database server through wireless sensor network. We developed an energy-saving method to extend battery life through duty cycle. The proposed method used sleep feature, data reduction, wireless transceiver optimization, and fixed network authentication configuration. The sleep feature allows the device active during data acquisition and delivery, the rest it will be going to sleep. The data is reduced to minimize power transmission. Testing energy consumption on devices with proposed battery management is carried out on wireless network ecosystem that uses static addressing. The results are compared with energy consumption from devices with conventional battery management. The results show that the proposed battery management system can reduce energy consumption up to 4.85%. Overall the proposed method has better performance than the conventional method.

Modular reconfigurable robots are touted for their flexibility, as their bodies can assume a wide range of shapes. A particular challenge is to make them move efficiently in 3D without compromising the scalability of the system. This paper proposes decentralized and fully reactive controllers for pose control of 3D modular reconfigurable robots. The robots operate in liquid environments, and move by routing fluid through themselves. Each module uses only two bits of sensory information per face. Additionally, the modules can use up to five bits of information that are exchanged via shared power lines. We prove that robots of convex shape are guaranteed to reach a goal object with a preferred orientation. Using computer simulations of Modular Hydraulic Propulsion robots, all controllers are assessed for different environments, system sizes and noise, and their performances compared against a centralized controller. Given the simplicity of the solutions, modules could be realized at scales below a millimeter-cube, where robots of high spatial resolution could perform accurate movements in 3D liquid environments.

Fifth-generation (5G) forums in ASEAN countries have proposed lower frequency bands for 5G applications at 4.5 – 5.5 GHz and also the fixed-satellite service (FSS) has realised 3.3 – 3.8 GHz in C-band for 5G cellular communication recently, which leads the necessity of proposing antennas for the particular bands. In this paper, a compact ultra-wideband (UWB) patch antenna with dual band-notched characteristics has been proposed for lower 5G bands. The UWB has been achieved with a partial ground plane and further two notched 5G bands have been obtained with a rectangular slot on the patch and by connecting an arc shape open loop (ASOL) on top of the patch. The antenna has achieved a wide – 10 dB bandwidth of around 12.4 GHz (2.91 – 15.3 GHz) and VSWR < 2 except for two notched lower 5G bands of 3.3 – 4.2 GHz and 4.5 – 5.5 GHz. Besides, the proposed antenna has achieved a peak radiation efficiency of more than 80 % for UWB, while at the notched bands as low as 40%. Moreover, the proposed antenna is compact with a dimension of 29×23 mm2 that makes it suitable for lower 5G bands application.

Solving Lur'e equations plays a critical role in addressing linear-quadratic optimal control (LQOC) problems, especially in cases where the control cost matrices are singular. This paper introduces, for the first time, two novel zeroing neural network (ZNN) models—ZNNLE and ZNNLE-LQOC—specifically designed to solve the Lur'e equation system and the LQOC problem, respectively. The proposed models extend the applicability of the ZNN methodology to these challenging scenarios by offering robust and efficient solutions to time-varying matrix equations. Theoretical analyses confirm the validity of both models, while numerical simulations and practical applications demonstrate their effectiveness. Moreover, a comparative study with an enhanced alternating-direction implicit (ADI) method highlights the superior performance of the ZNNLE-LQOC model in solving LQOC problems.

A novel time-domain Doppler tracker and compensator, using shift-orthogonal OFDM pilot sequences, was developed and assessed in simulations and early in-water trials. The objective is to address large Mach numbers like those experienced in the acoustic communications of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV). To start, the Doppler estimator extracts pilots in the received signal to produce Mach number estimates for every received signal sample. Given the large number of estimator samples, a Doppler tracker is proposed to reduce the number and simultaneously track Mach number variations. This novel tracker reduces the computational load on the compensator and makes it possible to implement on AUVs. Then, the Doppler compensator's first stage resamples the received signal using the Mach number estimates from the tracker's output. Since the estimates vary with time, the resampling performed is time-varying. Then, the final stage estimates the residual Doppler shift from the estimator and eliminates it with a phase rotation. The proposed receiver subsystem outperforms most existing compensators as measured through the mean-squared error, is more computationally efficient and addresses higher Mach numbers. Each element of the proposed receiver is tested in simulations and the results are shown to agree with theory. Comprehensive at-sea trials are next.

Molecular dynamics simulation of diffusion welding between aluminum and nickel has been performed and the tensile behavior of the as-welded material has been examined. Two slabs Al-Ni are being contacted directly to introduce diffusion between the two with certain parameters. Diffusion welding was performed at a temperature of 500 K, at the pressure of 10 MPa in the x-direction, and a holding time of 200 ps. The tensile test is performed at a strain value of 2.64e9/s. The results have shown that the displacement of atoms during diffusion welding significantly occurs from the beginning until it reaches about 10 ps. However, the movement of atoms experiencing a plateau stage and less atomic exchange is occurring afterward. nickel slab that has a better strength was able to maintain its fcc crystalline structure during diffusion welding and tensile test than aluminum which has lower strength. The higher melting point of Ni promoting better resistance in the interface to be deformed, while the lower melting point of Al has been promoting better bonding between the two that is promoted by the defects that occur at the interface. During the tensile test, the lower strength of Al made it randomly deformed and crack seems to occur. However, failure of the diffusion-welded Al-Ni has occurred around the interface. The ultimate tensile strength of the diffusion-welded Al-Ni reaches up to 4.166 GPa at a strain value of 0.07128.
