This article presents a multi-layer hexad-polarization compatible reconfigurable square shaped patch antenna. With an intent to use in the sub–6 GHz spectrum, the proposed antenna’s polarization can be switched among horizontal linear polarization (LP), vertical LP, slant ±45° LP, right-hand circular polarization (RHCP), and left-hand CP (LHCP) by controlling PIN diodes in switchable feed network. By incorporating two orthogonal aperture-coupled switchable feed networks and a 180° phase shifter, the proposed antenna can operate at single or dual feeding mode. The horizontal and vertical LP can be attained by exciting single port. On the other hand, slant +45° LP, –45° LP, RHCP, and LHCP can be achieved by switchable dual port excitation. Low cross-polarization and high isolation in each mode make the proposed antenna more attractive for wireless applications. The proposed antenna has 10-dB impedance bandwidth of 1.19% for LP, 0.89% for LHCP, and 1.19% for RHCP. Moreover, 3-dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth of 5.97% for RHCP and 7.19% for LHCP are attained. Better isolation characteristic (

Human action recognition (HAR) is a computer vision technique used to understand the activity of the action performed in the scene. computer vision technology has become popular and is applied in various areas like surveillance systems, robot vision, satellite imaging, etc. However, using computer vision in human activity recognition is still challenging due to the dynamic movement of human motion, noise, occlusion, complex background, variable dressing style, varying illumination, and others. Various research has been conducted to address these problems, yet they remain challenging. In this study, we applied human action recognition techniques to interpret the meaning of Tekele Zemamie's actions in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. Tekele Zemamie is church choirs' most common activity during stage ceremonies and other events. To carry out the research experimental work we have prepared 900 video clip datasets. The dataset was recorded in a 2.5-meter distance using a 48MP Camera. From the dataset, 80% was used for training and the remaining 20% was used to test the model's performance. We applied skip frame selection techniques to a single video by selecting 30 frames and we applied spatial and temporal feature extraction techniques. To overcome the stated problems and to develop the recognition model experimental works have been examined using two deep-learning models CNN_LSTM and CNN_Bi-LSTM, and we achieved 95% and 97% recognition accuracy respectively. From the proposed models, CNN_Bi-LSTM works better than the other model.

Advancing memory circuitry has heightened the performance criteria for memory in diverse chip applications. Decoders, serving as peripheral circuits to memory devices, have be a prominent area of academic interest. The new NAND/NOR gate circuits are proposed using pass-transistor logic (PTL) and transmission gate logic (TGL). The two hybrid-logic design schemes of high-performance and low-power (HPLP) and HPLP inverting (HPLPI) utilizing PTL and TGL gate in combination with static CMOS logic for decoders are proposed, while achieving fewer transistors, faster speed, lower power dissipation as compared to conventional circuits. Experiments are conducted in TSMC 7nm FinFET process for hybrid-logic decoders. The simulation results indicate that, in comparison to conventional decoders, the proposed hybrid-logic 3–8 decoder demonstrates improvements, with the HPLP design reducing delay by over 19% and power by over 71%, and the HPLPI design reducing delay by over 17% and power by over 48%.

Non-intrusive Appliance Load Monitoring (NALM) is essential for efficient electricity consumption tracking in households, promoting eco-friendly practices, and cost reduction. Privacy concerns in real-world NALM implementations can be addressed using federated learning. However, challenges persist, such as limited training data, edge model customization, and resource constraints. We introduce a practical federated learning framework for NALM, leveraging cloud-based model compression, collaborative data collection, and personalized edge and multi-task learning models through unsupervised transfer learning. Our advanced load monitoring model offers precise energy disaggregation through real-world experimentation, making it a leading solution for non-intrusive appliance load monitoring on edge devices. It maintains excellent learning performance and user privacy. Future research should aim to enhance federated learning efficiency and tackle remaining challenges in practical NALM implementations

This paper proposes PredictiveSLAM, a novel extension to ORB-SLAM2, which extracts features from specific regions of interest (ROI). The proposed method was designed with the risk posed both to humans and robotic systems in large-scale industrial sites in mind. The ROI are determined through an object detection network trained to detect moving human beings. The method detects and removes humans from feature extraction, predicting their potential future trajectory. This is done by omitting a specific ROI from extraction, deemed to be occluded in consecutive time steps. Two masking methods -static object and moving object trajectories - are proposed. This approach improves tracking accuracy and the performance of SLAM by removing the dynamic features from the reference for tracking and loop closures. The method is tested on data collected in a laboratory environment and compared against a state-of-the-art ground truth system. The validation data was collected from real-time experiments which aimed at simulating the typical human worker behaviours in industrial environments using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). This study illustrates the advantages of the proposed method over earlier approaches, even with a highly dynamic camera setup on a UAV working in challenging environments.

The effective maintenance of Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) in high-voltage (HV) substations is essential for ensuring system reliability and minimizing unplanned downtime. The percentage Health and Importance Indices (%HI and %ImI) are key metrics used to assess the criticality of various factors influencing GIS performance, such as equipment age, maintenance history, insulation quality, environmental conditions, and operational performance. This research performs a sensitivity analysis on the weighting factors applied to the %HI and %ImI, examining how changes in these weightings affect the indices. Using a weighting and scoring technique, the analysis investigates the impact of varying each parameter’s weight on the overall %HI and %ImI, identifying the most sensitive factors that influence maintenance decisions. The actual data for both the conditional factors and importance criteria are applied in these calculations. Subsequently, the actual scores of six units GIS are computed using ten different weighting sets. The results demonstrate that the weighting values follow a linear approach, where higher weight values indicate a greater influence on the respective criterion. In addition, the sensitivity of the weighting factors significantly impacts the process of adjusting the range for %HI and %ImI, ultimately affecting GIS health and importance identification and informing maintenance planning.

In this contribution, ramifications of the greenhouse effect on a closed vehicle exposed to solar radiation are discussed. The Earth's atmosphere-the vehicle is considered a system which physical background of energy transfer and transformations are analyzed. Based on the physics presented, a product is proposed: barium sulphate window covers that would minimize the effect. Such covers are easy to assemble, can be DIYed, preserve vehicle interior, and lover fuel consumption due to air-conditioning temperatures, which have the second most negative effect on the fuel economy.
