Recently, the Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard has been developed in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) as the future wireless communication system. Cell search is a basic procedure of any cellular communication system by which a mobile terminal finds a cell for potential connection to, and then decodes all the information required to register. This paper presents a review of the state of the art solutions an Read More

The contribution deals with the principles of programmed learning, specifically with implementing a new module to Learning Management System Moodle. This study activity allows the construction of a new question type. If a student does not answer correctly, the main question is substituted by a set of easier sub-questions. The order of these subquestions is set by means of question maps suggested by the teacher. All proces Read More

By constructing a matrix-valued unbounded error-function, this paper develops and exploits a new type of recurrent neural networks, named as Zhang neural networks, for the time-varying Lyapunov matrix equation with accuracy and effectiveness. In general, a scalar-valued norm-based energy function is defined for the design and development of the conventional gradient-based neural networks, which could only solve t Read More

Digital watermarking technology remains an active area of study and development by a number of companies and institutions since mid ‘90s. This area fetches more and more attention as one of the key technology components for copyright protection, content management, and copy control of digital contents. This paper discusses the different patents procured by Digimarc Corporation during the period between March 2012 Read More

This study develops a power-managed method for mobile devices, which employs mobile power banks constructed on an Android-based power control system. Combined with self-developed power bank monitoring and control software, this study developed a multi-functional battery charging control system. The design also considers and integrates external electronic devices and mechanisms, and provides additional Read More

With the development of the economy, the construction and real estate industries have gradually become basic industries related to the people's livelihood and they play an important role. Because of their special characteristics in investment and financing structure, construction and real estate companies are faced with enormous pressure of financial risk, which urgently needs some effective models to send out early war Read More

Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) is recently being used as a new, reliable, accurate and robust optimization technique scheme for global optimization over continuous spaces. However, the algorithm suffers from premature convergence, slow convergence rate and large computational time for optimizing the computationally expensive objective functions. Therefore, an attempt to speed up TLBO is consid Read More

Over the next decade, cloud computing has a good chance of becoming a widely used technology. However, many challenges face the cloud to be overcome before the average user or business team will trust their vital information with a cloud server. Most of these challenges tie into developing sound security measures for the cloud. One of the largest security obstacles is how to defend against a Denial-of-Service (D Read More
