This paper proposes an intelligent regenerative braking control of hybrid buses through a neuro-fuzzy controller (NFC) by combining the fuzzy logic algorithm and the artificial neural networks. The braking torque distribution between the integrating starting generator (ISG) and the friction disc brake is addressed through the proposed NFC. The results of simulation and validation show that the ...

Frequency lowering technologies offer an alternative amplification solution for severe to profound high frequency hearing losses. While frequency lowering technologies may improve audibility of high frequency sounds, the very nature of this processing can affect the perceived sound quality. This article reports the results from two studies that investigated the impact of a nonlinear frequency c...

Near Field Communication (NFC) as an emerging technology is currently leveraged by large standardization efforts and tries to find a suitable ecosystem. NFC enabled mobile devices with integrated smart cards introduce compelling opportunities and new business models. Development of new standards such as secure element (SE), smart card, secure channel, as well as JavaCard enables creating new ec...

In future ubiquitous communication environments, users expect to move freely while continuously interacting with the available applications through a variety of devices. Interactive applications will therefore need to support migration, which means to follow users and adapt to the changing context of use while preserving state. This paper focuses on the scenario of migration between two devices...

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a technology that enables a device to communicate with another at a maximum distance of around 20cm or less. Currently, mobile phone manufacturers , financial organisations and mobile network providers are attempting to apply this technology to Smartphones and other handheld devices because of the opportunity to enable the consumer to use commercial services mo...

DASH7 and NFC (Near Field Communications) complement each other extremely well, as their features and functionality are completely different, but their technologies are suprisingly similar. This whitepaper describes the technical feasibility of integrating DASH7 components with NFC components and touches upon the functionality afforded by such an integrated solution. © Copyright 2012 Haystack T...

Near Field Communication (NFC) is an RF-based proximity coupling technology allowing transaction within a range of up to 10 cm. Whereas the physical and the data link layer of NFC are already standardized by ISO, ECMA and ETSI, it’s the NFC-Forum’s task to get a common agreement on data protocols, security measures and layers above. The NFC-Forum is a non-profit industrial consortia cooperating...

—Near Field Communication (NFC) is deemed to be a future technology with a lot of potential in many areas. One of those areas, learning and teaching, will be covered in this article, showing possible usages of NFC with teaching and learning materials. With a lot of new NFC capable devices presented recently, this technology can be utilized in many areas, including the arbitrarily growing field ...
