- PublicationPengelog data untuk multi-meter digital(2004-03-01)Lai, Thiam HeeA normal multimeter is used to measure the voltage and current of certain circuits and also the resistance across certain lines. As the world of electronics evolves, multimeter evolved from analog to digital. But how to incoporate the data measured from a digital multimeter into a computer? The answer to the above question is the datalogger of the digital multimeter. The datalogger is connected into the digital multimeter so that the data measured can be stored into its memory. Before the era of datalogger, some latest digital multimeters have serial interface ready. By linking the interface to the computer, one can get the recording of oscilloscope for slow signals. On the downside, the computer has to be present at the measurement location, and left running all the time. Besides, the digital multimeter occupies the serial port during the entire measurement. These disadvantages certainly points to wastage of computer resources. The datalogger designed will be free of these disadvantages. It can automatically captures the discrete measurement values supplied by the digital multimeter and puts them into permanent storage. When the need arises, the contents of the datalogger will then be downloaded into computer for data manipulation.

- PublicationFrekuensi radio identifikasi(2005-03-01)Kamal Adzham, Ahmad NizarRadio Frequency Identification or RFID is a new technology and building its reputation rapidly. This system is widely use in our daily lives. For an example is ‘Smart Tag’ lane on high ways. The gate automatically opens during the entry of our vehicle. Another example of RFID system is security alarm at shops entrance. The entire product is label with tag and the alarm would be triggered if the product is stolen or brought out passing through the doors. The main objective of this project is to write a program for the microcontroller for the RFID reader so that it could be use for personal purpose, but because it is hard to purchase the tag a 1-bit RFID circuit is designed to give a basic overview on how RFID works. The reader circuit and the tag is said to be resonating at a specific frequency. In industry the frequency that is used is 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz. But in this project the frequency used is 1MHz because of the capability of the equipment (audio generator) used in this project. One of the main problems faced during the development of this project is tuning the antenna to resonant at 1MHz. This is solved easily by using Network Analyzer. For the future student who intent to continue this project could improve the memory of the tag and the reading distance of the tag so that the RFID technology could be improve to a whole new level.
- PublicationPengaruh arus harmonik terhadap pembacaan meter kwh analog(2005-03-01)Koay, Boon KitThis final year project deals with effect of harmonic current on reading of analogue kWh meter. In the project, derivation of complex mathematic equation is not included but analysis is made based on the experimental results. A rectifier (which has adjustable capacitor and adjustable resistor connected in parallel as the load) is connected with kWh meter. The meter is then connected with pure sinusoidal voltage source, 50Hz, 240V. The rectifier represents the non-linear loads we use in daily life. When changing the resistance and the capacitance of the loads, the magnitude of the current and the value of total harmonic distortion will change as well. In the situation where the RMS current is not being changed, the change of active power when total harmonic distortion is increased is being compared. The active power refers to that of theoretical active power and that of sensed by the kWh meter. Besides that, the error percentage of kWh meter reading when total harmonic distortion is increased is studied too. In this project, voltage source is assumed not polluted with harmonic content.
- PublicationTeaching stethoscope(2005-03-01)Palaniappan, SivakumarTeaching Stethoscope is one of the latest biomedical gadgets which have been constructed in this project. This project is implemented by constructing hardware and software design. Basically, this project is divided into three categories which are signal amplification, wireless transmission and computer display. The components that involve in constructing hardware are stethoscope, microphone, instrumentation amplifier, buffer, integrator, low pass filter, audio amplifier and speaker. This part is the heart of the project whereby the signal will be captured through microphone and amplified with the instrumentation amplifier. It will be then filtered by an integrator and low-pass circuit below 200 Hz to reduce the noise. There will be two approaches of displaying the signal in the computer which is MATLAB and Microcontroller 89C51. This analog signal will be converted to digital signal by ADC before it is sent to the microcontroller. By using microcontroller 89C51 as data connection heart pulse are shown in LABVIEW software. The second option will be connecting the hardware to computer through microphone jack and display it through MATLAB in a pulse form. Wireless transmission involves the implementation of FM transmitter and FM receiver. Finally, output signal from the FM receiver will be amplified by using audio amplifier to be heard through the speaker.

Narrowband balun structure is designed for input of RF signal and LO signal.Air core inductor is used for balun design.The analysis of LT5516 cannot be done because the connection between the LT5516 pads and printed circuit board cannot be done so that the test circuit cannot function without the connection of this LT5516 IC.The LT5516 IC cannot be soldered on printed circuit board because the size of the IC is too small (4mmx4mm). The soldering method used is not effective but I still used this method because there are no other technology in this campus. LT5516 pads are connected to printed circuit board using wire-wrap as the conductor.Wire-wrap is soldered to LT5516 pads and connected to PCB pads but lastly IC LT5516 cannot be soldered on PCB because the IC pads are small and resulted the soldering joint.To solve this problem I decreased the amount of solder but the wire wrap could not stick on IC pads.Other components are soldered on PCB pads but the analysis still cannot be done without this IC LT5516. Aluminium box is designed for this test circuit .The aluminium box isdesigned to avoid radiation that will effect the output signal.The calculation for band pass filter and low pass filter are include in this report even they cannot be applied because the circuit not function and cannot be analyze.The suggestions also include at the end of the report to ensure that the direct conversion receiver can function well and can be analyze to see the performance of direct conversion receiver.
- PublicationSemi-automatic features extraction of cervical cells(2005-03-01)Mohanadas, VeerayenThis project is entitled ‘Semi-automatic Features Extraction of Cervical Cells’. The project is aimed to create a user friendly software which can be able to analyze Pap smear images via image processing. Cytological screening using the Pap smear test is the most effective strategy for the detection of precancerous state and consequent control of cervical cancer. Cytological samples that are taken from Pap smear test will undergo further analysis to detect the degree of abnormality of the cervical cells. The results of the abnormality of the samples can be inaccurate since some types of the medical images are blurring and highly affected by unwanted noise. Those bottlenecks in the medical images are believed that can be reduced via implementations of an adaptive fuzzy c-means (AFCM) and moving k-means (MKM) clustering techniques. These clustering techniques were used to segment the Pap smear images and later the features of the cells were extracted using region growing based feature extraction (RGBFE) technique. The performance of AFCM and MKM were analyzed based on the segmentation results of 6 Pap smear images. In overall, MKM was produced much better images than AFCM. Although the results have revealed that AFCM was suffering from centre redundancy and poor final centres in most of the cases, but it has also shown an advantage over MKM where AFCM was not sensitive to initial centres.
- PublicationRekabentuk sistem perlindungan kilat(2005-03-01)Mohd Fadzil, Mohd FazliLightning strike is one of the phenomenons that can cause damage of properties, badly injury, and also the death. Cause of that, all the buildings which have more than 3 floors, must equip with the lightning conductor. For this project, one investigation have made to the area of Sport Centre of University Science Malaysia, Engineering Campus which doesn’t have the lightning protector. From that investigation, football field 1, football field 2 and rugby field have a high risk of lightning strike. In addition, these fields always full with the student everyday and definitely it is so dangerous. In this project, I have designed the lightning protection system which will protect the people who play at the fields of Sport Center. This system is divided by two sections. First section will responsible to protect the goal side. It is designed with 20 m high of iron net along the field wide. The second section will protect the center of the field. It has 20 meter high of two flag-poles at each side of field. Those flag poles and the iron net are equipped with the earth system for the over-current when the lightning strike occurs. From this project, the risk of lightning strike to people is less and safe for people to play at any time and any weather.

- PublicationAn analysis of two dimensionality reduction techniques on the performance of neural network classifiers(2005-03-01)Ong, Siok LanThis project involves an analysis of the effectiveness of two dimensionality reduction techniques, i.e., Principal Component Analysis as the standard approach and Random Projection as a recent technique. The study is based on the performance of two supervised neural network classifiers i.e., Standard Backpropagation and Fuzzy ARTMAP. A set of benchmark and real medical databases are used to evaluate the performance of the neural network models. The performance indicators used are percentage of correct classification, purity, and collective entropy. The Student’s two-tailed paired t-test is used to compare the significance of differences of the results. Based on the estimated 95% confidence intervals, a strong decision which eventually leads to a convincing conclusion on the performance of the dimensionality reduction techniques can be obtained. The perceived experimental results especially from the real medical data sets are encouraging enough to prove that Random Projection exhibits good performance as a dimensionality reduction technique. Surprisingly, Random Projection is effective on low dimensional data, and the outcomes are as good as Principal Component Analysis. A discussion on generalization of the results obtained is included, and a conclusion ensues. Recommendations are also included for further improvements and enhancements in the analysis of dimensionality reduction techniques.
