Defects in integrated circuit (IC) packaging are inevitable. Several factors can cause defects in IC packaging such as material quality, errors in machine and human handling operations, and non-optimized processes. An automated optical inspection (AOI) is a typical method to find defects in the IC manufacturing field. Nevertheless, AOI requires human assistance in the event of uncertain defect classification. Human inspection often misses very tiny defects and is inconsistent throughout the inspection. Therefore, this study proposed a low-cost IC packaging defect classification system using edge impulse and ESP32-CAM. The method involves training a deep learning model (i.e., convolutional neural network (CNN)) using a dataset of non-defective and defective ICs on Edge Impulse. For defective ICs, the top surface of the ICs is deliberately scratched to imitate the cosmetic defects. ICs with scratch-free on their top surfaces are considered non-defective ICs. A successfully trained model using Edge Impulse is subsequently deployed on ESP32-CAM. The model is optimized to fit the limited resources of the ESP32-CAM. By using the built-in camera in ESP32-CAM, the trained model can perform a real-time image classification of non-defective/defective ICs. The proposed system achieves 86.1% prediction accuracy by using a 1,571 image dataset of defective and non-defective ICs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Respiration-related disease refers to a wide range of conditions, including influenza, pneumonia, asthma, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and the latest outbreak, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and many other respiration issues. However, real-time monitoring for the detection of respiratory disorders is currently lacking and needs to be improved. Realtime respiratory measures are necessary since unsupervised treatment of respiratory problems is the main contributor to the rising death rate. Thus, this paper reviewed the classification of the respiratory signal using two different approaches for real-time monitoring applications. This research explores machine learning and deep learning approaches to forecasting respiration conditions. Every consumption of these approaches has been discussed and reviewed. In addition, the current study is reviewed to identify critical directions for developing respiration real-time applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Breast cancer is one of the life-threatening cancer that leads to the most death due to cancer among women. Early diagnosis might help to reduce mortality. Thus, this research aims to study different approaches to the deep learning neural network model for breast cancer early detection for better prognosis. The performance of deep learning approaches such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Convolution Neural Network (CNN) is evaluated using the dataset from the University of Wisconsin. The findings show ANN achieved high accuracy of 99.9 % compared to others in detecting breast cancer. ANN can deliver better results with the provided dataset. However, more improvement is needed for better performance to ensure that the approach used is reliable enough for early breast cancer diagnosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
