Home-Automation System for Renewable Energy Self-Consumption Optimization
Abstract: AbstractOne of the largest problems regarding the distributed production of renewable energy is that the effective employment of the produced energy. Usually, this energy is reintroduced within the grid with an obstacle for the producer. During this scenario, we propose an approach that aims at exploiting the whole energy production reintroducing into the grid only the part in excess.

Topic Detection in Tweets using Hashtags
Abstract: Data clustering is a common technique used for topic detection and identification in text. In this paper we propose tokenizing of hashtags as an effective and efficient way of generating bags of words for tweets (text messages on Twitter). The document- term matrix generated using these terms is smaller and more relevant compared to the full text tokenization. Tweets from the 2018 Oscars event tagged with #oscars hashtag were collected …

Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Readout Integrated Circuit for Imaging Applications
Abstract: In this paper presents a novel continuous-time simultaneous-readout scheme for active imaging systems based on orthogonal modulation of photo detector signals. The superimposed-continuous-time approach presented here differs from the conventional scheduled-discrete-time scheme in that the photo detector signals are summed in a common bus concurrently and then converted to voltage levels for digitization. We illustrate that our proposed architecture may be profitable. Predominantly, in solicitations, the bandwidth necessities for a …
