Item Computer Vision Based Industrial and Forest Fire Detection Using Support Vector Machine (SVM)(IIUC Central Library) Rahman, Md Abdur; Hasan, Sayed TanimunBurning issue is a very serious issue nowadays in our garments and industries sector. The workers are facing the problem and losing valuable life. On the other hand, investors are losing their hope in this sector. In this paper, we have propounded a vision-based system which is capable to detect fire. We have developed a pipeline model consisting of Background Subtraction, Color Segmentation, Special Wavelet Analysis & a Support Vector Machine which will detect real-time fire and smoke.For SVM model we have trained the dataset in two ways. One is the different kind of fire image and other is the image that looks like fire but it’s not fire. If the situation is breaking out of fire then the system will immediately raise an alarm and an automatic SMS and email will be sent to the authority and nearby fire station. In this study, the proposed strategy works on a very large dataset of fire videos that have been collected both in real life situations and from the internet.In this SVM pipeline model shows the maximum accuracy is is 93.33%. The system can fulfill the precision and detect faster real-time fire detection. Its industrial application will aid in the early detection of fires, as well as emergency management, and so greatly contribute to loss prevention.Item Reduction and Utilization of Emitting CO2 by Using Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC) Stack for Sustainable Development in Bangladesh(IIUC Central Library, 2017-12-14) Rahman, Md. Matiur; Rashid, Minhaz UrReduction of the CO2 emission from the existing natural gas and coal based power plant is a great challenge. Existing power plants of Bangladesh emit CO2 at a concerning rate. Meanwhile, that causes serious greenhouse effect. But Bangladesh government cannot afford to simply stop producing power from the existing power plants just because they are harmful to the environment. In this research work molten carbonate fuel cell implementation with the existing power plant has been proposed. This proposed hybrid power supply system not only reduces CO2 emission but also produces power by utilizing that CO2. Meanwhile, it makes the existing power plant environment friendly as well. After observation from MATLAB Simulink and COMSOL results it can be concluded that this proposed hybrid power plant is able to reduce CO2 emission by 70% from existing power plant and at the same time by using the reduced CO2, MCFC stack can produce power with an efficiency of 41.19% for a cell number of 1000. In the inverter section for discrete time operation, the maximum efficiency was found to be 59.81%. Again, from the mathematical analysis it was seen that Ghorashal and Ashuganj have the capability of producing 53.46 MW and 16.16 MW respectively. Meanwhile, considering 1 KW to be the maximum demand of each house it is possible to supply 53000 and 16000 houses respectively by using CO2 from both Ghorashal and Ashuganj power plant. Finally, this proposed hybrid power supply system would be a solution to ensure CO2 reduction, utilization and sustainable development in Bangladesh.Item Comparative Analysis on Tropospheric Scintillation Prediction Models over Bangladesh Climate(IIUC Central Library, 2018-09) Hossain, Md.

HumayunNowadays, Energy Efficiency (EE) has become a buzzword for future wireless communication systems. Consequently, Massive Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MMIMO) technology have attained a great attention for Multi-User Communication scenario. MMIMO systems are crucial to maximizing energy efficiency (EE) and batterysaving technology. Achieving EE without sacrificing the quality of service (QoS) is increasingly important for mobile devices. We first derive the data rate through three linear precoding: Maximum Ratio Transmission (MRT), Zero-Forcing (ZF), and Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE). Performance EE can be achieved when all available antennas are used and when taking account of the consumption circuit power ignored because of high transmit power.The aim of this work is to demonstrate how to obtain maximum EE while minimizing power consumed, which achieves a high data rate by deriving the optimal number of antennas and number of users in the massive MIMO system. The consumed power of the system includes transmitting power, circuit power consumption, and idle power consumption. The circuit power consumption dominates the system power consumption when the transmitter is equipped with the massive number of antennas. Hence, to analyze this problem, we propose a power consumption model. Maximized EE depends on the optimal number of antennas and determines the number of active users that should be scheduled in each cell. The results show the optimization of Energy with respect to the number of functioning mobile users, number of assigned base stations and launch input power in the system respectively.Item Design and Performance Evaluation of a Campus Network Based on Different Routing Protocols(IIUC Central Library, 2018-09) Refat , Chowdhury Mohammad MasumA Campus Area Network (CAN) can be characterized as a Local Area Network (LAN).

Imtiaz; Haque, Kazi Mazharul5th generation cellular network is the upcoming revolution in the cellular communication world. It tends to operate in millimeter wave frequency to increase the usage for the next decade. While the researcher focuses on optimising spectral efficiency and increases bandwidth for incredible demand, only the mmWave spectrum have capability that can accommodate the ever-expanding consumption for the wireless network. The 28 GHz frequency band is a serious candidate for mmWave communication with more than 3 GHz of available bandwidth. The line of Sight (LOS) is a direct line between the radio transmitter and receiver and many types of radio transmissions depend on it. Unfortunately, for arbitrary transmission networks, obstacles are commonly caused by non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions. This thesis presents a proper number of selection antenna element in 28 GHz frequency in NLOS and LOS environment and their characteristics by analysis of different channel parameter in Urban microcell scenario for Dhaka city. This thesis also discusses the radio propagation mechanisms that impact the performance of the network in the form of time delays, received power, azimuth AoD, Elevation AoD, Azimuth AoA, Elevation AoA, path-lost and RMS delay in LOS and NLOS environments.Item Design a Grid Connected PV Solar System for IIUC Female Academic Building(IIUC Central Library, 2015-11) Tipu, Md.Ohidul Alam; kanungo, BiswajitThis study aims at developing a standard procedure for the design of a grid connected PV solar system for IIUC campus using rooftops of those building which are favorable to the sunlight and other system is car parks. Bangladesh is facing an acute shortage of energy. Natural gas is the main source of electricity generation in Bangladesh. But the limited gas reserves cannot fulfill the necessities of both domestic requirements and industrial and commercial demands, especially demands for electricity generation for long. Due to this shortage of electricity, not only we are facing load shedding across the country but also the industrial sector is badly affected. Since load shedding occurs, the campus faces so many problems due to absence of continuous power. To ensure continuous power supply, we have chosen solar power as our second way to fed power which will be grid connected. This will be beneficial way to make up the power crisis. A grid-connected photovoltaic power system will reduce the power bill of our campus as it is possible to sell surplus electricity produced to the local electricity supplier. These are comparatively easier to install as they do not require a battery system. Grid interconnection of photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems has the advantage of effective utilization of generated power because there are no storage losses involved. A photovoltaic power system is carbon negative over its lifespan, as any energy produced over and above that to build the panel initially offsets the need for burning fossil fuels. Even though the sun doesn't always shine, any installation gives a reasonably predictable average reduction in carbon consumption.Item Design and Development of a Smart Wheelchair Prototype for Physically Disabled People.(IIUC Central Library, 2017-12-14) KHAN, MD. SALMAN; HOSSAIN, MD. SHAKHAWATBangladesh is a developing country with a large number of people. Every year, a large number of people become lame due to road accident and unable to walk normally. Wheel chair is the best assistive device used by elder and differently abled people who cannot walked normally. The driving and controlling of traditional manual wheel chair are much harder task. So our aim is to build a powerful wheel chair which helps the handicapped (lower half of the body is paralyzed) people to travel without depending others. The bone for physically challenged people is a wheel chair. The wheel chair is developing day by day. The modern wheel chairs come equipped with a self-motor to help run the wheel chair by a joystick. The joystick controlled wheel chair is a bit difficult for certain people to operate. Mainly for old and weak people. Again, the voice controlled wheel chair is not suitable at all situation because of noisy environment and sound. It is also difficult to give command for old or weak people. Moreover this wheelchair is costly. So our proposal is to make such a cost effective electronic gesture based wheel chair which will be easy to operate rather than the joystick input. In our proposal, we will show to control a wheel chair using in build gesture function of a smartphone and touch sensor. A special feature of our wheel chair is that, obstacles in front of the way of wheel chair can be detected which can avoid the collision between chair with that detected obstacle. Another feature of this chair is to use an IP camera that gives visual and acoustic information to the guardian of the riding people. The aim of this developed electric wheelchair is to provide easy and comfortable life for the handicapped people whose lower half of the body is paralyzed.Item Design and Implementation of an Astronaut Assistive Mining Robot(IIUC Central Library, 2017-08-18) Meraz, Mohammad Aman Ullah; Thosan, Abhik NathIn this era of science and technology robotics is a very popular field of research.

AsrafulA microgrid is a part of a distribution network embedding multiple distributed generation systems like photovoltaic panels, small wind turbines etc. and storage systems. This paper focuses on the islanded operation of microgrids. In this mode of operation, the micro-sources are required to operate autonomously to regulate the local grid voltage and frequency. To make voltage and frequency stable, there have several control method in microgrid. The conventional droop control is typically used to achieve this autonomous voltage and frequency regulation. But conventional droop control has real and reactive power sharing limitations. To share the load accurately in proportion to their power ratings two condition should have met. The condition are the droop controllers must have same per unit output impedance and have same voltage set-point for the inverters. But it is difficult to meet in practice. In this paper, the inherent limitations of the conventional droop control scheme are revealed. That’s why robust droop controller is proposed which can share the load accurately without meeting the above conditions. It also help to reduce voltage drop due to load effect and droop effect. The robust works against numerical errors, disturbances, parameter drifts and component mismatches. In simulation part, the output shows the proportional load sharing among inverters.Item Optimization, Simulation And Control Strategy Of Hybrid Renewable Power System For Base Transceiver Station (BTS) In Bangladesh(IIUC Central Library, 2014-06) Hossain, Md. Emran; Siddiquee, S.M. ShahnewazBase Transceiver station (BTS) is a set of telecommunication network that organized as tower with transmitter and receiver antennas. The function of BTS is power amplification so it can connect the telecom operator networking with customers. Power is the main issue for telecom operators to set up cellular network coverage in remote or isolated areas.

Jashim; Chowdhury, Md. Shoyaibur RahmanA wireless multi meter is an instrument used to measure the current, voltage, frequency and power at a load from a distance. In this project a wireless multi meter was designed which consisted of two major parts: 1) Measuring Section Module and 2) Remote Display Module. Measuring Section Module consisted of three major section which are i) signal input, ii) Micro controller, iii) RF transmitter whereas the remote display module also consisted of three parts i) RF Receiver, ii) Microcontroller and iii) LCD Display Module. At first the signal under measurement, was converted to a 6 volt signal through a transformer and was fed to the microcontroller (ATmega8A) input. After all relevant calculations the dc voltage produced by the micro controller was sent through an RF Frequency transmitter module (BX-R433A) having an omnidirectional antenna. The RF receiver module (KSTRX806E), situated at a maximum distance of 150 meters from the transmitter, received the transmitted data and the microcontroller next to it was used to decode the signal intercepted by the receiving antenna. The result of the calculations is then displayed through a 16-bit LCD display module (TM162A). This multi meter was found to measure the values of the voltage, current, power and frequency ranging from (0-250) V, (0-20) A, (0-5000) VA and (0-125) KHz respectively. The main attraction of our designed circuit was the simplicity of the circuit, easiness of implementation and the availability of components required in our country.
