ABSTRACT Communication Protocols are the key tools for data transmission; most of them were defined for asynchronous data transport. Underpinning the Internet is the Internet Protocol (IP), which, has offered an ideal pathway for general Information Technology convergence with its capability of carrying large variety of signals (audio, control, voice, video, data, etc.). This thesis is on “the Design and Simulation of Audio Over IP (AoIP) frequency modulated broadcast studio system”. Usi...
Abstract Safety is crucial in oil and gas industries, it is normal practice to collect incident reports daily. The volume of such reports is always very huge, as a result, the interpretation poses a great challenge. Consequently, there is an urgent need for techniques that can intelligently assist in transforming such vast amount of data into useful information and knowledge. Data mining is part of the knowledge discovery process that offers ways of extracting non-trivial, previously unknown...
ABSTRACT Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the dominant transport protocol in the Internet and supports many of the most popular Internet applications, such as the World Wide Web (WWW), file transfer and e-mail. The recently developed advanced wireless networks, such as GPRS, are known to cause delay spikes in packet transfer which causes unnecessary TCP retransmission timeouts. In order to find solutions to this effect, packet losses across wireless links should be distinguished from c...
ABSTRACT A tool for the simulation of stream processing tasks on two dimensional processor arrays is developed in this work. The tool, a Many-core Energy and Latency Estimator (MELE) has provided abstractions from the many design constraints facing application developers on Many-core platforms. A set of models have been designed to improve the programmer’s ability to iteratively map data flow applications to the target machine. Included in the model set are; an application model, which pre...
ABSTRACT Recommendation systems play a vital role in boosting the organization’s profit, especially for ecommerce platforms such as Amazon. These systems focus on targeting specific products to users and predicting user preferences and interests. However, recommendation systems are plagued with many challenges, such as adapting them to changes in user preferences and taste, and the effectiveness of recommendations made also determines the ability to retain and engage new users, as new user...
ABSTRACT Class imbalance problem is prevalent in many real-world domains and as such has become an area of increasing interest for many researchers. In binary classification problems, imbalance learning refers to learning from a dataset with a high degree of skewness to the negative class. This phenomenon causes traditional classification algorithms to perform woefully when predicting positive classes with new examples. Data resampling is among the most commonly used techniques used to deal ...
ABSTRACT Attendance is typically a list of people present at a particular event. Manual approach of attendance taking has not been very effective due to difficulty in keeping the attendance list over a long period of time, unnecessary time wastage during writing or signing, improper documentation, students forgetting to write or sign-the attendance paper among others. The aim of this project is to develop a technology assisted attendance system that will enhance efficient and effective means...
ABSTRACT Counting is a very common activity in our daily lives and when inaccurate results are produced, it could cost us dearly in terms of loss in production, profit and finances. This inaccuracy is very common with the manual method of counting due to fatigue from task repetition over a long period oftime. This project develops an automated counter system to solve the challenge of packaging items below or above advertised quantity to customers by many small scale business organizations wi...
ABSTRACT Yoruba language is gradually going into extinction because most speakers don't know how to write it despite that it is being taught in Primary and Secondary schools in Nigeria. This therefore call for the need of modern day processing tools such as machine translators for the language to catch up with the technological growth the world is experiencing. ln the face of rapid globalization, the significance of Machine translation cannot be overemphasized because it can translate the co...
ABSTRACT Nowadays, most of the conventional home automation systems are designed for special purposes but this system proposes an all-in-one general purpose home automation system that can be easily be implemented in new and existing homes. 'The aim is to develop a reliable, compact, fast and low cost smart home automation system, based on Arduino Uno (microcontroller). Various devices such as LEDs, DC Servo motors, passive infrared sensor have been incorporated in the system to demonstrate ...
ABSTRACT Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) leakage poses great danger in this era where its use has become an important source of energy for industries, homes and vehicles alike. A means of avoiding dangers associated with LPG leakage is to install LPG leakage detectors at susceptible areas. The objective of this proposed project therefore is to design and implement a microcontroller based LPG leakage monitoring, detection and control system. The system will be able to detect LPG leakage using M...
ABSTRACT Vehicle routing involves searching for efficient routes for vehicles along transportation networks in an attempt to reduce travel time, route length, service cost. For vehicle drivers, the idea of getting to their destination in the shortest time possible is very appealing especially by taking the shortest path to their destination but the shortest route may not always be the optimal route. Drivers might need multiple and distinct good (near optimal routes) options which are based o...
ABSTRACT The challenges of the manual method of taking attendance include difficulty in keeping the attendance list over a long period of time, time wasting during writing or signing, students forgetting to sign and students signing illegally for an absentee. This manual process has a lot of problems which may affect the productivity and management of schools. The aim of this project is to develop a radio frequency identification attendance system. The RFID attendance system utilises a micro...
ABSTRACT The security of our homes and properties are of utmost importance as various individuals and engineers have worked on ways to improve the security of our homes. This project which is "Development of a door lock security system based on speech recognition" is aimed at introducing maximum security and assurance to individuals and their properties in their various homes. This project was developed based on the use of the MATLAB software, which is progra1runed to recognize certain users...
ABSTRACT Fire disaster is a great threat to lives and properties, and it accounts for over 70% of total loss of properties and about 20% of total loss of lives every year in Nigeria. Although some conventional fire preventive systems have been developed which are not enough to take prompt action during fire, save properties, and ultimately save lives. Hence, the need to develop an automatic wireless-based fire monitoring, detection and alarm system which is accurate, scalable and energy effi...
