Title: Realization of Enhanced Phase Locked Loop using Raspberry Pi and LabVIEW
Real-time data is gaining more importance in engineering. With archived data and the real-time data, utilities are making systems more robust by developing new methods for controlling and monitoring. Frequency information of the system is one of the key factors for better controlling and monitoring purpose. So acquiring real-time frequency information at a low cost is really important. Raspberry Pi based frequency data acquisition is one of the solutions to get data remotely. This paper discusses two main topics: (i) The complete procedure for acquiring the real-time data using Raspberry Pi, Multi-chip package 3008 and LabVIEW. (ii) Modeling of Enhanced Phase Locked Loop (PLL) and its integration with the data acquisition system for processing the real-time data to extract the frequency and amplitude information.  more » « less

    Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a common cause of death and disability. However, existing tools for TBI diagnosis are either subjective or require extensive clinical setup and expertise. The increasing affordability and reduction in the size of relatively high-performance computing systems combined with promising results from TBI related machine learning research make it possible to create compact and portable systems for early detection of TBI. This work describes a Raspberry Pi based portable, real-time data acquisition, and automated processing system that uses machine learning to efficiently identify TBI and automatically score sleep stages from a single-channel Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal. We discuss the design, implementation, and verification of the system that can digitize the EEG signal using an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) and perform real-time signal classification to detect the presence of mild TBI (mTBI). We utilize Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and XGBoost based predictive models to evaluate the performance and demonstrate the versatility of the system to operate with multiple types of predictive models. We achieve a peak classification accuracy of more than 90% with a classification time of less than 1 s across 16–64 s epochs for TBI vs. control conditions. This work can enable the development of systems suitable for field use without requiring specialized medical equipment for early TBI detection applications and TBI research. Further, this work opens avenues to implement connected, real-time TBI related health and wellness monitoring systems.

    Spectroscopic image data has provided molecular discrimination for numerous fields including: remote sensing, food safety and biomedical imaging. Despite the various technologies for acquiring spectral data, there remains a trade-off when acquiring data. Typically, spectral imaging either requires long acquisition times to collect an image stack with high spectral specificity or acquisition times are shortened at the expense of fewer spectral bands or reduced spatial sampling. Hence, new spectral imaging microscope platforms are needed to help mitigate these limitations. Fluorescence excitation-scanning spectral imaging is one such new technology, which allows more of the emitted signal to be detected than comparable emission-scanning spectral imaging systems. Here, we have developed a new optical geometry that provides spectral illumination for use in excitation-scanning spectral imaging microscope systems. This was accomplished using a wavelength-specific LED array to acquire spectral image data. Feasibility of the LED-based spectral illuminator was evaluated through simulation and benchtop testing and assessment of imaging performance when integrated with a widefield fluorescence microscope. Ray tracing simulations (TracePro) were used to determine optimal optical component selection and geometry. Spectral imaging feasibility was evaluated using a series of 6-label fluorescent slides. The LED-based system response was compared to a previously tested thin-film tunable filter (TFTF)-based system. Spectral unmixing successfully discriminated all fluorescent components in spectral image data acquired from both the LED and TFTF systems. Therefore, the LED-based spectral illuminator provided spectral image data sets with comparable information content so as to allow identification of each fluorescent component. These results provide proof-of-principle demonstration of the ability to combine output from many discrete wavelength LED sources using a double-mirror (Cassegrain style) optical configuration that can be further modified to allow for high speed, video-rate spectral image acquisition. Real-time spectral fluorescence microscopy would allow monitoring of rapid cell signaling processes (i.e., Ca2+and other second messenger signaling) and has potential to be translated to clinical imaging platforms.

    Modern real-time systems face increasing vulnerabilities to cyber-attacks, particularly those that use multi-core chips, where safety-critical and non-safety-critical tasks execute concurrently. Existing solutions for multicore systems often lack either determinism or cost-efficiency. This paper introduces an offline analysis technique that computes all feasible schedules for real-time tasks running on multi-core platforms. Our proposed technique isolates compromised tasks while ensuring a fail-operational system and supports low-cost, reconfigurable scheduling. The analytical models presented in this paper guarantee the hard real-time constraints of safety-critical tasks while allowing bounded deadline misses for some non-safety-critical tasks during an attack to enhance security. We name our scheme RESCUE. We conduct a comprehensive design-space exploration and evaluate its real-world efficacy using a UAV autopilot system case study deployed on a quad-core platform (Raspberry Pi). Results show that the proposed scheme introduces minimal recovery overhead, measured in microseconds on a Raspberry Pi, and achieves 100% coverage in reconfiguration responses to compromised tasks in synthetic test cases.

    We present the design of a multiuser networked wireless system to remotely configure and control the lighting of multiple webcam users at different locations. This system makes use of a Raspberry Pi and a wireless DMX transmitter as the wireless interface that can be used to control the DMX webcam lights. A lighting control software called OLA is used on the Raspberry Pi. A web interface is designed to issue commands to OLA API running on the Raspberry Pi to control DMX lights associated with Raspberry Pi. Multiple wireless interfaces, each for a specific user at a different location, can be simultaneously configured and managed using the web interface. The interactive web interface can be used to control the intensity and color of the DMX lights. The web interface follows a model controller view design and makes HTTP calls to the OLA software running on Raspberry pi. The proposed system enables an operator to provide optimum and artistic lighting effects for a group of online presenters.

    Smart speaker voice assistants (VAs) such as Amazon Echo and Google Home have been widely adopted due to their seamless integration with smart home devices and the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. These VA services raise privacy concerns, especially due to their access to our speech. This work considers one such use case: the unaccountable and unauthorized surveillance of a user's emotion via speech emotion recognition (SER). This paper presents DARE-GP, a solution that creates additive noise to mask users' emotional information while preserving the transcription-relevant portions of their speech. DARE-GP does this by using a constrained genetic programming approach to learn the spectral frequency traits that depict target users' emotional content, and then generating a universal adversarial audio perturbation that provides this privacy protection. Unlike existing works, DARE-GP provides: a) real-time protection of previously unheard utterances, b) against previously unseen black-box SER classifiers, c) while protecting speech transcription, and d) does so in a realistic, acoustic environment. Further, this evasion is robust against defenses employed by a knowledgeable adversary. The evaluations in this work culminate with acoustic evaluations against two off-the-shelf commercial smart speakers using a small-form-factor (raspberry pi) integrated with a wake-word system to evaluate the efficacy of its real-world, real-time deployment.
