    Development of a flexible electronic control unit for seamless integration of machine vision to CAN-enabled boom sprayers for spot application technology
    (Elsevier B.V, 2024-12-01) Mozammel Bin Motalab; Ahmad Al-Mallahi
    This research work aimed to develop an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to establish a flexible bridge between machine vision and boom sprayer to control nozzles individually for pesticide spot application based on the Controller Area Network (CAN). The ECU consisted of two electronic entities. The first used UART protocol to parse machine vision messages, detect pest areas, and convert them into binary arrays for nozzle activation. The second received these arrays and generated nozzle controller CAN frames which were broadcast to control the sprayer nozzles on the implement bus. The ECU was tested in four scenarios involving combinations of three machine vision systems and two nozzle systems. The lab tests confirmed, assuming accurate detections, the ECU successfully sent spray commands to all targets across various camera-nozzle ratios. However, at specific ratios (1:3 and 1:6), some nozzles opened in unintended patterns. In the fourth scenario conducted in the field at a 1:2 ratio, all targets were sprayed regardless of their dimensions and distribution in the field. In this scenario, the sprayer operated at speeds of 3.22 km/h, 6.44 km/h, and 9.66 km/h, demonstrating real-time spraying with 55° angled nozzles, where the ECU sent CAN messages every 10ms and issued 400 ms spray commands upon detection, achieving a minimum spray length of 345 mm per detection.

    Cloud Computing and the Business Consequences of ERP use
    (2011-08-31) Shohag, Shoyeb Al Mamun
    A Cloud Computing system is intended to improve and automate the controlling single point operations. By using a single point of control, this goal is accomplished through the elimination of duplicate entries and the contribution of data integrity, detailed drill down, simple training, manageable support, minimal IT maintenance, easy upgrades and reduced costs. Overall, the advantages of cloud computing usage fulfill the original intentions of business as it allows process manufacturers to manage their business as simply and efficiently as possible. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software is designed to improve and automate business process operations. However, there are many unnecessary administrative, and procedural costs and delays often associated with this practice. Examples include duplicate data entry, data corruption, increased training, complicated supplier relations, greater IT support and software incompatibilities. The purpose of this system is Single Point of Control, Duplicate Entry Elimination, Data Integrity, Detail Drill Down, Basic Training, Manage Support, Security, Minimal IT Maintenance, Easy Upgrades, and Reduce Costs etc.

    An Observation and Analysis of IPTV and Multicasting Traffic
    (2011-09-30) Motalab, Mozammel Bin
    IPTV is the short form of Internet protocol television. It’s the technology that allows us to get television services via internet protocol over computer networks instead of the traditional cable TV medium. The multicasting technology used in IPTV to send one packet that is being originated from one station to multiple stations at a time is referred to as broadcasting of the internet version. This paper describes the functionality of IPTV protocol and Multicasting with a short background of it. We also have studied various compression techniques of audio and video file and formats. Our main intention was to observe how various protocols work with IPTV services like Protocol independent module (PIM), Internet group messages protocol (IGMP), and Cisco group management protocol (CGMP) when packets are interchanged within the router, switch, video server and clients. To observe these, lab work on IPTV has been conducted and the findings have been discussed.

    Analysis the Impact of Game theory (Pay-off Matrix, Nash Equilibrium) in the High Tech Industry AI – Digital Assistant
    (2019-12-31) Motalab, Muktadir Bin
    This paper focuses to discuss and analyzing the formal application of game theory which require the identity of independent actors, their preferences, their knowledge, and the strategic acts they are allowed to make. Each independent actor is assumed to be coherent. This game theory is not limited to case analysis but rather psychology, a tag of war, business, economy etc. The focus is to use the game theory in information technology more specifically in Artificial Inelegance, Digital Assistant solutions. Analysis of the outcomes of game theory to determine the strategy for market penetration. The study however reveals some challenges such as affordance, access to information, cost advantage and subsidy or support or funding that change the total game of the deployment plan in order not to exacerbate the problem of the digital divide.
