this paper demonstrates performance comparison between two Ultra-wideband (UWB) pulse shapes in the IEEE802.15.3a channel model using different RAKE Receiver types in presence of Multiple-User-Interference (MUI). System models used in this paper are based on both Direct-Sequence (DS) and Time-Hopping (TH) as spreading techniques for the UWB Pulses. UWB System presented in this paper studied in the presence of MUI and Gaussian-Noise using RAKE Receiver with different number of RAKE Fingers. The analysis and simulation has been run using two types of narrow (Sub-nanoseconds) UWB Pulse Shapes with same power; first- the second derivative of UWB Gaussian pulse ( Gaussian Doublet), and second- the 6th derivative of UWB Gaussian pulse which is the Main Case-study concerns this paper. The analysis and results show and clarify that both; the used UWB pulse-shape and also the number of RAKE fingers has an obvious impact on the SNR and consequently the BER performance in the IEEE802.15.3a channel model. Finally, the paper conclude that the proposed 6th derivative UWB pulse is more suitable for both; fulfilling the FCC power regulation requirements, and BER performance in MUI environment since increasing derivative order consequently increases the peak emission frequency but decreases signal Bandwidth.

This paper presents the design of a system with the ability to control the frequency with which they are stimulated laser diodes used to analyze samples in any physical states. It is common that the modulation of the laser diode is performed in amplitude, this for the analysis of samples using photothermal techniques. Our system was developed considering the electrical characteristics of each of the laser diodes such as current operating power, wavelength and operating voltage. We developed a kind of driver, with it is possible the amplitude modulation of the, but at the same time performing a frequency sweep of this, this without neglecting the optical power of each of the laser diodes used, and to ensure that the beam from each diode is suitable for this application. We take the design´s driver of the bipolar transistor configuration that allows the current flowing through the base of the transistor is that encourages each of the laser diodes, this applied separately to each diode used.

the field programmable gate array (fpga) is an integrated circuit designed to be configured after manufacturing. The fpga configuration is generally specified using a verilog hardware description language (vhdl), similar to that used for an application-specific integrated circuit (asic). Fpgas can be used to implement any logical function that an asic could perform. Fpgas contain programmable logic components called "logic blocks", and a hierarchy of reconfigurable interconnects that allows the blocks to be "wired together"—somewhat like many (changeable) logic gates that can be inter-wired in (many) different configurations . Logic blocks can be configured to perform complex combinational functions, or merely simple logic gates . In most fpgas, the logic blocks also include memory elements, which may be simple flip-flops or more complete blocks of memory. There are numerous options for designers in selecting a hardware platform for custom electronics design, ranging from embedded processors, application specific integrated circuits (asics), programmable microprocessor, fpgas to programmable logic devices (plds). The decision to choose a specific technology such as an fpga should depend primarily on the design requirements. Therefore, if the hardware requirements require a higher level of performance, then the fpga offers a suitable level of performance. [4] The definition of the behavior of the fpga is performed by programming it by a very high speed integrated circuit hardware description language (vhdl).[1] This paper deals with using the fpga as a means for petrol pumping .the embedded system based on the fpga is programmed to offer safe pumping .the fpga senses the conditions of the petrol pumping pipes in order to offer secure pumping .wireless smart sensors are mounted on the petrol pumping pipe. The aim of the design is to mainly avoid pipes damage or explosion due to mal functions of pumping.

Models' describing the steady state behavior of the fluidized bed reactor for catalytic cracking of gas oil has been presented. The four-lump kinetic scheme was used to describe the cracking reactions occurring in the reactor while the two-phase hypothesis comprising of the bubble and the emulsion phases of Kunii and Levenspiel was used to describe the fluidized bed models. The model equations consisted of sets of non linear first order differential equations and sets of quadratic equations. The differential equations were integrated numerically using the fourth order Runge-Kutta algorithm while the quadratic equations were solved using formulae method. Results predicted by the model were validated using data obtained from a operating plant, deviations of -21.99%, 9.85%, 5.27%, and 4.12% were obtained for the conversion of gas oil, yields of gasoline, gases and coke respectively. The results shows that plug flow- plug flow combination of the fluidized bed gave a higher conversion of gasoil than the plug flow-CSTR model. Sensitivity analyses showed that superficial velocity, bubble diameter, catalyst bed height, reactor temperature, catalyst-to-gasoil ratio and the diameter of reactor are important process variables that affect the yield of the products.

Gulong oilfield lies in the intersection of provenance of western peripheral Song liao Basin, where the reservoir permeability is low and the mud and calcic is high, resulting in the complicated calculation in water saturation. The common saturation computation model for shaly reservoirs can not get a better application in the field scale development due to more parameters .Based on the classic Archie formula, the formula of water saturation for the shale and calcareous reservoirs is derived to fit for field scale development,and the obtaining value methods of change value which is related to formation depth and porosity are respectively established guided by geochemical field theory and classification statistics at the same time aiming at two difficulties, which are the value of formation water resistivity in the Archie formula is difficult to obtain and the rock-electro parameters are greatly affected by pore structure. The relative error of the result of the established model is 5.38% compared with the actual sealing core data, and the effect is good. It is shown that the model and the parameter value decision methods have guiding significance in scale development for low permeability reservoirs with high mud and calcic content.

Abstract: The paper deals with the design of remote control system based on Short Message Service (SMS) for displaying publicity on Liquid Crystal Display (LCD's). The control center is supplied with Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) for SMS transmission and reception. The GSM receiver is connected to a microcontroller which decodes the messages and accordingly sends commands. The microcontroller issues orders to display advertisements as required by the message. The control system includes two separate units; the control center and the control unit. Therefore there are two operating environments. The control center operates indoors whereas the control unit operates outdoors .The indoors electronic devices are within the temperature and humidity limits for proper operation of the hardware. The outdoor units must be fully enclosed and protected from the climate changes for the safety of the hardware

Abstract: Prosopis cineraria and prosopis glandulosa torryana wildly growing trees in Thar Desert Pakistan exude gum in appreciable quantities. The climatic conditions of desert catalyze gum exudation from trees and may affect their quality characteristics. No research work has been carried out to characterize these valuable gums and evaluate their potential for commercial exploitation. In the present study 135 samples (16kg) of P.glandulosa gum and 87 samples (9kg) of P.cineraria gum were collected and studied for their physicochemical properties. P. cineraria gum was sorted in three classes as amber, light yellow having dull luster and transparent golden yellow shades. P.glandulosa gum samples were sorted as dark brown and light brown samples. Among the physicochemical characteristics studied, moisture content of all classes of gums varied between 8-14%, ash 3-9%, protein 10 -21%, insoluble matter 0.8 - 1.9%, and the tannin content of transparent golden yellow samples of p.cineraria gum as 0.3-0.6%. The tannin content p. glandulosa was found to be fairly high making it unsuitable substitute of gum for food applications. All the samples were found to be dextrorotary and showed lower pH values. The intrinsic viscosity of gum samples ranged between 10.6-13.6 ml/g and the values were used to calculate viscosity average molecular weight of gum samples. All the samples were found to be rich in amino acid content having Hydroxyproline between 300-380, tyrosine 270-326, aspartic acid 170-210, and serine 170-195 residues per 10000 residues. Cationic composition of ash of gum samples revealed calcium magnesium sodium and potassium as major cations whereas no presence of toxic metals lead cadmium and mercury was detected. Comparative assessment of data indicated that P.cineraria gum was of better quality as compared to that of P. glandulosa and that the application of classification procedure has marked effect on gum quality and potential to make p. cineraria gum as suitable substitute of gum arabic.

Abstract: Multipath propagation is a fact of life in any terrestrial radio scenario. While the direct or line of sight path is normally the main wanted signal, a radar receiver will receive many signals resulting from the signal taking a large number of different paths. These paths may be the result of reflections from buildings, mountains or other reflective surfaces including water, etc. that may be adjacent to the main path. Additionally other effects such as ionosphere reflections give rise to multipath propagation as does tropospheric ducting .The multipath propagation resulting from the variety of signal paths can give rise to interference in a variety of ways including distortion of the signal, loss of data and multipath fading. This paper deals with the processing of the received signals in the radar receiver in order to minimize the effects of the multipath signals. The line-of-sight (LOS) echo is considered the main signal to represent the target.
