Non-intrusive load monitoring takes place in residential and industrial contexts to disaggregate identify loads connected a distribution grid. This work studies the applicability effectiveness for AC railways, considering highly dynamic behavior of rolling stock as an electric load, immersed varying moving loads. Both voltage–current diagrams harmonic spectra were considered identification extr...

In developing effective energy management mechanisms, new concepts have been developed to provide approaches. Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) is an approach that was originally allow the occupants of a room identify contribution each appliance total electricity consumption through single point measurement device. The aim customers with information will enable them act as `` ` consum'actors...

Better water consumption decisions benefit from detailed use information. Easily installed non-intrusive vibration sensors provide a “no-fuss” retrofit solution for detecting the operation of water consuming appliances. The sensors measure pipe vibration, which are revealed to be a rich source of information for identifying loads. Vibration is processed to extract power spectral density based f...

A software system is comprised of parts, which interact through shared interfaces. Certain qualities of integration, such as loose-coupling, requiring minimal changes to the software and fine-grained localisation of dependencies, have impact on the overall software quality. Current general-purpose languages do not have features that target these integration qualities at the instance level, henc...

Activity recognition in smart environments and healthcare systems is gaining increasing interest. Several approaches are proposed to recognize activities namely intrusive and non-intrusive approaches. This paper presents a new fully non-intrusive approach for recognition of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) in smart environments. Our approach treats the activity recognition process as an inform...

Abstract This paper introduces on the scene a new type of non-canonical question, dubbed non-intrusive, exemplified by interrogatives marked particle oare in Romanian. It does so providing an account distribution and interpretation this using updated version context components F?l?u? & Laca (2014), elaboration general assumptions Faller (2002). The intuition captures is that marking interro...

Speech captured from an in-ear microphone (IEM) under an intra-aural device is beneficial in extremely noisy environments as it maintains a relatively high signal to noise ratio. Due to its limited bandwidth, speech enhancement is required in order to obtain a more natural speech. Consequently, quick and practical measurement of speech quality is important. In this paper, we compare the perform...
