“…In these circuits, the electron acts as the main carrier of the charge, and all the behavior of the circuit depends on the movement of the electrons. These circuits are also very useful in the eld of human health [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. With the advancement of technology and the acquisition of optical circuits, it is predicted that in the future, optical circuits can replace electronic circuits.…”

This study aimed to design and construct a bracelet system to measure the skin temperature, range, heart rate of the patients, wirelessly, which can be implemented at the lowest expense and the high cost of attending patients in health centers is reduced. Therefore, a complete automation system can be implemented, which includes review processes, alerts, warnings, contacting patients, dispatching to the site, and patient transfer. In this research, a camera is also embedded in the car to check either the eyes of the driver are closed or open, which detects driver drowsiness and distraction and activates the vibrator in the bracelet. The system is also equipped with a graphical interface on the cell phone during the exercise or at home in order to display the measurements of the above quantities and alert when the quantities are higher than or equal to the desired limit.

Optical encoders are widely used circuits that are used in digital circuits. One of the most critical features of an optical encoder is the power values in two logic states, low and high. The difference between these two values is expressed with the Contrast Ratio (CR) parameter. In this research, an optical encoder with four inputs and two outputs based on a two-dimensional photonic crystal has been designed and simulated. The results show that the proposed structure has low power in low mode and high intensity in high mode. This difference in two logical modes has caused the proposed encoder to have CR = 19.8dB, which is improved compared to previous works. Also, the proposed structure has a very small size, equal to 96.88 µm2. This encoder can be used in optical integrated circuits with low error according to the obtained values.

“…The proposed methodology reflected the process of natural selection where the fittest individuals are selected for reproduction to produce the next generation. Although still widely applied nowadays [4], GAs, together with simulated annealing (SA) [5] or hill-climbing methods [6], have shown slow convergence towards sub-optimal solutions [7]. Though GA and SA are related to biological evolution and physical proprieties of materials, respectively, the first algorithm based on swarm intelligence was proposed to mimic the finding of good paths by ants [8].…”

In the last decades, several swarm-based optimization algorithms have emerged in the scientific literature, followed by a massive increase in terms of their fields of application. Most of the studies and comparisons are restricted to high-level languages (such as MATLAB®) and testing methods on classical benchmark mathematical functions. Specifically, the employment of swarm-based methods for solving energy-based acoustic localization problems is still in its inception and has not yet been extensively studied. As such, the present work marks the first comprehensive study of swarm-based optimization algorithms applied to the energy-based acoustic localization problem. To this end, a total of 10 different algorithms were subjected to an extensive set of simulations with the following aims: (1) to compare the algorithms’ convergence performance and recognize novel, promising methods for solving the problem of interest; (2) to validate the importance (in convergence speed) of an intelligent swarm initialization for any swarm-based algorithm; (3) to analyze the methods’ time efficiency when implemented in low-level languages and when executed on embedded processors. The obtained results disclose the high potential of some of the considered swarm-based optimization algorithms for the problem under study, showing that these methods can accurately locate acoustic sources with low latency and bandwidth requirements, making them highly attractive for edge computing paradigms.
