In this paper we present an augmented reality system for mobile devices that facilitates 3D brain tumor visualization in real time. The system uses facial features to track the subject in the scene. The system performs camera calibration based on the face size of the subject, instead of the common approach of using a number of chessboard images to calibrate the camera every time the application is installed on a new device. Camera 3D pose estimation is performed by finding its position and orientation based on a set of 3D points and their corresponding 2D projections. According to the estimated camera pose, a reconstructed brain tumor model is displayed at the same location as the subject’s real anatomy. The results of our experiment show the system was successful in performing the brain tumor augmentation in real time with a reprojection accuracy of 97%.

The N-Queens problem has been studied for over a century. The N-Queens problem may be solved using a variety of methods including backtracking algorithms and mathematical equations such as magic squares. We propose a more efficient approach to the most used technique, backtracking, by removing the threatened cells in order to decrease the number of trial and error steps.

Grid-connected energy storage systems have been implemented in ac power systems as uninterruptable power supplies (UPS). Batteries and bi-directional power converters provide electrical power when off-grid and recharge when grid-connected. In this paper, a packed U cells (PUC) seven-level inverter has been selected as the grid-interface due to the lower cost and fewer number of components compared to other bi-directional topologies. Additionally, the PUC has higher power quality when compared to the traditional H-bridge. Compared to the traditional PI controller, Model Predictive Control (MPC) is attracting more interest due to its good dynamic response and high accuracy of reference tracking. Through the minimization of a user-defined cost function, the proposed MPC technique can simultaneously achieve unity power factor, low total harmonics distortion of the grid-side current and balance the PUC capacitor's voltages at the grid side, and control bi-directional power flow in the batteries-PUC system. The presented topology and proposed control technique are verified by simulating a 600 W reduced-scale prototype. The theoretical principles are validated by implementing the controller on the prototype using dSPACE 1007 platform.
