OMR, or optical mark recognition, is the automated analysis of human-marked documents. Presently, many competitive examinations rely on multiple-choice questions, and the answers to these questions are recorded in OMR sheets. In this study, we present an automated answer detection system from an OMR sheet image using computer vision techniques. Typically, evaluating an OMR sheet from an image involves scanning, extracting data, and interpreting the results through various image processing techniques. However, traditional approaches have limitations. They cannot detect empty responses or recognize multiple choices properly without a specified layout or total number of questions stated. We took a unique approach by employing an object detection model, YOLOv8n, to detect and classify OMR marks. To address overlapping bounding boxes, we implemented the DBSCAN clustering algorithm to effectively group the columns and determine question order. Our system is designed to work with multiple layouts, as it can detect columns through clustering. Furthermore, it can identify unanswered questions as well as multiple marked options. To train and evaluate our model, we created a custom dataset with five different OMR sheet layouts. We achieved a remarkable precision of 96.5%, a recall of 99.8%, and an mAP (mean average precision) of 97.3%. These results demonstrate the efficacy of our approach to OMR sheet analysis.

Visible light communication (VLC) technique is well developed and proved to be a practical solution for real-time indoor tracking application, especially in hospitals where radiofrequency (RF) wireless technologies are forbidden due to potential interference hazards. As a continuous work for the LED-based VLP/PLC hybrid indoor tracking system, a fully integrated system-on-chip (SoC) design for the optical transceiver is proposed and discussed in this paper. The SoC integrated with transmitter, receiver and power supply circuits was designed on a commercial 45nm CMOS integrated circuit technology enabling the modulation and demodulation process for multiple frequencies. This work validated the feasibility of developing an efficient and low-cost tracking system using LED VLC technology for future smart hospitals.

The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the significance of accurately predicting patient survival in order to promptly administer efficient medical care. The augmentation of biological and healthcare service data volume has been found to enhance the precision of disease prognosis, survival prediction, and other clinical assessments. Numerous biological characteristics serve as the underlying factors contributing to the etiology of numerous diseases. Therefore, it is imperative to have precise medical data that possesses appropriate characteristics in order to facilitate an analysis that exhibits exceptional clinical accuracy. In order to effectively analyze data, it is imperative to employ a machine learning model that is both exact and accurate in predicting sickness or survival outcomes. An expeditious and accurate assessment of the disease's magnitude is crucial during a particular phase of a pandemic, such as the Covid-19 outbreak. The primary aim of this research is to employ machine learning methodologies in order to forecast the survival outcomes of individuals diagnosed with COVID-19. This will be accomplished by using a publicly available dataset comprising various medical attributes pertaining to 383,499 COVID-19 patients, which was collected and made accessible by the Directorate General of Epidemiology, Secretariat of Health in Mexico. Various machine learning techniques, including Regression methods, Artificial Neural Networks, Random Forest Classifier, Support Vector Machine, AdaBoost, and XGBoost, are employed on the dataset that has undergone diverse preprocessing procedures. The experimental findings demonstrated that the system yielded numerous advantages in comparison to previous efforts in the same field.

The strategic planning of transmission expansion is paramount in ensuring the reliability and efficiency of power systems, particularly in the context of growing electricity demand and the integration of renewable energy sources. This paper investigates the utilization of unconventional high surge impedance loading (HSIL) lines in transmission expansion planning (TEP) and offers a comparative analysis of their performance against conventional line-based TEP methods. Commencing with a 17-bus 500 kV test system known for its robust operation under normal and all single contingencies at different loading scenarios, the objective is to connect a new load at a new location. Meticulously examining and comparing the number of lines and right of way (ROW) required for both methods while maintaining uniform conductor weight per circuit, the effectiveness of unconventional HSIL lines within the TEP context is assessed.

Test vector generation for a TRAnsistor-level Programmable (TRAP) fabric faces a number of feasibility and efficiency challenges. The former are caused by (i) the use of bi-directional pass transistors, which are beyond the capabilities of commercial Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) tools, and (ii) the design specifics of TRAP, which result in certain stuck-at faults not being logically testable and calling for a quiescent current-based test solution instead. The latter are caused by the fact that ATPG tools are oblivious to (i) the difference between programming bits and regular inputs, which results in lengthy test application times, and (ii) the role that different modules in the architecture of TRAP play in establishing logic circuits, which results in lengthy unguided exploration of a very large functional space to establish appropriate vector justification and response propagation paths. To address these challenges, we explore an array of solutions including (i) employing TRAP instances where bi-directional transistors are replaced by uni-directional ones, (ii) generating custom IDDQ tests, (iii) expressing test application time as the optimization objective of an Integer Linear Program (ILP) formulation, and (iv) leveraging design knowledge, resulting in perfect stuck-at fault coverage of TRAP and an order-of-magnitude savings in test application time.
