Deafness is an unfortunate issue of our society impairing many people. Around 3 million people in Bangladesh suffer from partial or complete deafness. One key challenge for these individuals is communicating with regular people. Various sign languages are available but very few people are knowledgeable about it. Keeping this issue in consideration this project has been developed. The smart Arduino glove allows the user to express their ideas by translating their fingerspelling as well as the gestures into comprehensible messages. The system also allows identification of common sentences by identifying simple gestures. The suggested system if applied in daily life can bring a positive change in the lives of deaf-mute individuals.

Most advanced control methods require a sufficiently accurate model of the system to be controlled. These models are becoming increasingly difficult to generate due to the increasing complexity of the underlying systems. To address this problem, data-driven models can be used. These kind of models are trained based on data of the dynamic system. They can be used for controller design and also be applied directly to control the system. In this work, a stochastic model predictive controller (SMPC) with a Gaussian process model (GP) is utilized. The main advantage of GPs is the construction of a dynamic system model with the possibility of determining the uncertainty of its own prediction. In this contribution, three different utilizations of prediction uncertainty in SMPC are compared. Additionally, two different implementations of dynamic GPs, nonlinear autoregressive exogenous GPs (GP-NARX) and a state-space model based on GPs (GP-SSM), are considered. All six test cases are compared based on an evaluation criterion that describes the resulting control performance. A simulated inverted pendulum, a benchmark for nonlinear and unstable systems, is used as test system. In this work, the combinations of different dynamic GPs and the application of their uncertainty prediction in SMPC are evaluated and compared.

Automatic or semi-automatic recognition of selected emotions using Machine Learning (ML) algorithms requires practical, fast and accurate implementation of the steps involved in acquiring the actual signals (e.g. speech, facial expression, posture and body movements), recording them in the form of an optimal feature vector/matrix, correctly interpreting the above data and reproducing and generalising this process within the ML system. Depending on the accuracy and speed required and the degree of its ‘invasiveness’ (e.g. by attaching sensors to the user’s body), single or multi-modal interpretations of biometric signals associated with different groups of emotions are possible. This group of studies, despite their relative non-invasiveness, requires the caution prescribed by the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act and RODO Act and the possibility of being replaced (if necessary) by alternatives. This article aims to analyse the opportunities and risks associated with this group of technologies, with a particular focus on directions for further development.

The fundamental issue with high switching power converters is electromagnetic interference. The converter design must be electromagnetically compliant for an operation to be secure. Filters play a crucial role in mitigating electromagnetic interference (EMI) within three-phase systems. This paper presents examining the electromagnetic interference associated with a three-phase inverter interconnected to the grid. The reported measurements were taken after the filter and applied with three-phase adjustable drive system for 9-150kHz frequency ranges. Therefore, experimental evidence supports the EMI filter's noise attenuation. In conclusion, the presented study fills in the gaps measuring uncertainties for three-phase emissions, assisting engineers in the design of three-phase converters.

The reduction of fatigue loadings in wind turbines to increase their lifetime has become of special interest from a control viewpoint. Individual Pitch control (IPC) is a well-known approach used to mainly mitigate periodic blade loads, and it is usually implemented with the assistance of the multi-blade coordinate (MBC) transformation, which transforms and decouples the measured blade load signals from a rotating frame into a non-rotating tilt-axis and yaw-axis. Nevertheless, these axes still show coupling between them in practical scenarios adversely affecting the system performance. Previous studies have demonstrated the benefits of including an extra tuning parameter in the MBC, the azimuth offset, in improving the performance achieved by the IPC. However, the tuning of this parameter and its real improvements that can be obtained compared to the IPC without this offset require more research. Here, two 1P+2P IPC, with and without additional azimuth offset, are designed and applied to the 5 MW reference turbine model developed by NREL using the FAST software as a simulation platform. The controller parameter tuning is formulated as an optimization problem that minimizes the blade fatigue load according to the Dirlik index and that is resolved through genetic algorithms. To fairly analyze the improvement entailed by the addition of the azimuth offset, both optimized IPC schemes, with and without azimuth offset, are compared qualitatively and quantitatively using a classical controller as the baseline case. From the simulation results, it can be stated that the optimal IPC scheme with azimuth offset compared with the IPC scheme without offset achieves improvements of around 11% in load reduction and pitch signal effort.

In this paper we investigate the design of optimal spatially distributed controllers for a linear and spatially invariant reaction-diffusion process over the real line. The controller receives state measurements from different spatial locations with non-negligible delays. In this set-up and for the class of proportional spatially invariant state feedback controllers, the optimal control synthesis problem is equivalent to a feedback gain optimization for a spatially distributed delay system. We show that the spatial locality of optimal feedback gains is affected not only by diffusion and reaction coefficients, but also by the parameter representing communication time-delay that causes a sharp flattening of the control gains. In the expensive control regime, the optimal controller is solved analytically, yielding some practical design guidelines.

Environmental monitoring plays a crucial role in understanding the impact of human activities on our ecosystems. However, the cost and complexity of traditional monitoring systems often hinder widespread deployment, especially in resource-constrained regions. This research paper explores the feasibility and effectiveness of employing Arduino Internet of Things (IoT) modules as a low-cost alternative for environmental research monitoring. The study focuses on designing and implementing an Arduino-based environmental monitoring system capable of gathering real-time data on key environmental parameters, such as temperature, humidity, air quality, and soil moisture. The hardware setup comprises Arduino microcontrollers interfaced with a range of environmental sensors and connectivity modules for data transmission. To assess the system's reliability and accuracy, a series of field experiments were conducted in diverse environmental settings, including urban areas, agricultural zones, and natural habitats. The collected data was compared against measurements from conventional monitoring equipment to validate the Arduino-based system's performance. The research demonstrates that the Arduino IoT modules can effectively monitor and transmit environmental data with a reasonable level of accuracy and stability, making them suitable for various environmental research applications. The low-cost nature of Arduino components and the open-source ecosystem facilitate customization and scalability, enabling researchers and organizations to develop tailored monitoring solutions for specific environmental contexts. Additionally, the paper discusses the challenges and limitations encountered during the deployment of Arduino-based monitoring systems, including power constraints, sensor calibration, and data processing techniques. Furthermore, it explores potential avenues for improvement and optimization to enhance the system's capabilities and data accuracy. In conclusion, this research
