Energy Minimization for Real-Time Data Gathering in Wireless Sensor Networks

This paper studies the challenging problem of energy minimization for data gathering over a multiple-sources single-sink communication substrate in wireless sensor networks by exploring the energy-latency tradeoffs using rate adaptation techniques. We consider a real-time scenario for mission-critical applications, where the data gathering must be performed within a specified latency constraint. We first propose an offline numerical optimization algorithm with performance analysis for a special case with a complete binary data gathering tree. Then, by discretizing the transmission time, we present a simple, distributed on-line protocol that relies only on the local information available at each sensor node. Extensive simulations were conducted for both long and short-range communication scenarios using two different source placement models. We used the baseline of transmitting all packets at the highest speed and shutting down the radios afterwards. Our simulation results show that compared with this baseline, up to 90% energy savings can be achieved by our techniques (both off-line and on-line), under different settings of several key system parameters     

Efficient Legendre moment computation for grey level images

Legendre orthogonal moments have been widely used in the field of image analysis. Because their computation by a direct method is very time expensive, recent efforts have been devoted to the reduction of computational complexity. Nevertheless, the existing algorithms are mainly focused on binary images. We propose here a new fast method for computing the Legendre moments, which is not only suitable for binary images but also for grey level images. We first establish a recurrence formula of one-dimensional (1D) Legendre moments by using the recursive property of Legendre polynomials. As a result, the 1D Legendre moments of order p, L_p=L_p(0), can be expressed as a linear combination of L_p-1(1) and L_p-2(0). Based on this relationship, the 1D Legendre moments L_p(0) can thus be obtained from the arrays of L₁(a) and L₀(a), where a is an integer number less than p. To further decrease the computation complexity, an algorithm, in which no multiplication is required, is used to compute these quantities. The method is then extended to the calculation of the two-dimensional Legendre moments L_pq. We show that the proposed method is more efficient than the direct method.

Shape optimal design of an engine exhaust manifold

An engine exhaust manifold made of cast iron cracks during thermal shock testing. The test process is simulated by finite element analysis. The manifold is formulated as a linear heat transfer and thermoelasticity problem in a variational form. Analytical expressions for shape design sensitivities of general three-dimensional problems are presented, using the material derivative approach. A hybrid approach is described and used during the optimization process. This approach takes advantage of the direct and the adjoint variable methods and is the most efficient in calculating the sensitivity of the structural responses. After the finite element model is verified by comparing the results with those from testing, the engine exhaust manifold is optimized with respect to its geometry.
