The main objective of the project is to provide a facility to implement the…

To reduce the time necessary for determination of tsunami source parameters it is proposed to optimize the location of sensors system and to use only a part of the measured wave profile. Based on computation, it is possible to balance the number of sensors in use and the time period after the earthquake needed to…

In this work we discuss a special technique for powering of sensor systems, based on a low-power primary cell consisting of two electrodes, made from different metals, with water (lake, rain or tap water) used as an electrolyte. Once placed into an aqueous solution, the primary cell generates a small electric current, which may be…

A sensor fusion concept integrating the optical and microfabricated eddy-current sensor for the non-destructive testing of the grinding burn is reported. For evaluation, reference grinding burn with varying degrees are fabricated on 42CrMo4 tool steel cylinder. The complementary sensing nature of the proposed sensors for the non-destructive testing of the grinding burn is successfully achieved,…

The presence of urban parks and green spaces in the city can play a role in maintaining urban residents’ quality of life. Parks in Manila are located near main thoroughfares. Since people usually go to parks for recreation and relaxation it is important to have an idea of the concentration of criteria pollutants at these…

This paper aims to design an accurate and robust algorithm for counting the steps based on the smartphone’s accelerometer for indoor applications. Different daily activities have been considered in the experimental scenarios, including normal walking with various smartphone positions and running activities. The detection process’s accuracy is ensured by setting an appropriate segregation approach and…

Caregivers experience lower back pain due to their awkward postures while handling patients. Therefore, a monitoring system to supervise caregivers’ postures using wearable sensors is being developed. This study proposed a postural recognition method for caregivers during postural change while handling a patient on a bed. The proposed method recognizes foot positions and arm movements…

A gas sensor array is used for gas analysis to aid in an inspection. The signals from the sensor array are fed into machine learning models for learning and classification. These signals are characterized by time series fluctuating according to the environment or drift. When an unseen pattern is entered, the classification may be incorrect,…

Internet of Things provides a virtual view of real-life things by guiding challenges faced by persons in daily life. It is reforming our world with trillions of sensors and other IoT enabled devices by creating a smart environment. Effective use of IoT sensors in various smart IoT applications is very important. After analyzing different sensor…

In this research human gait database is collected using different possible methods such as Wearable sensors, Smartphone and Cameras. For a gait recognition accelerometer data from wearable shimmer modules and smartphone are used. Data from different sensors location is compared to know which sensor location have better recognition rate. Different walking scenarios like slow, normal…

The objective of this paper is to provide a new simulator framework for mobile WSN that emulate a sensor node at a laptop i.e. the laptop will model and replace a sensor node within a network. This platform can implement di?erent WSN routing protocols to simulate and validate new developed protocols in terms of energy…

With the advancement of technology intelligent devices are fast approaching the realm of necessity from the status of luxury. With limited energy resources, it is the need of time to revolutionize the traditional methods of counting visitors inside hotels, recreational places, meeting rooms and cinemas to control the electrical appliances. Moreover, the improved living standards…

Gas leakage caused by various causes poses significant risks to public safety. To address this problem, an intelligent model is proposed for the accurate monitoring of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) distribution based on the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and Business Intelli- gence (BI) technologies. Through the use of sensors and actuators, it seeks…

The solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation industry has experienced substantial, ongoing growth over the past decades as a clean, cost-effective energy source. As electric grids use ever-larger proportions of solar PV, the technology’s inherent variability—primarily due to clouds—poses a challenge to maintaining grid stability. This is especially true for geographically dense, electrically isolated grids common…

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a substantial death toll throughout the world. The pandemic has created a threat to public health, the economy, food systems, and the workplace. An increased reprioritization of health expenditure towards COVID-19 vaccines will impact on allocations to other medical facilities. In developing countries, hospitals shortage the infrastructure to facilitate patients.…

The “Electronic Nose” approach, which is exclusive to gas measurement systems, uses gas sensors as odor detectors. Design faults exist in the existing electronic nose (e-nose) chamber, such as its large volume, difficult construction, etc. In order to obtain measurements in a satisfactory state, we want to create a gas chamber that can provide favorable…

In Senegal, agriculture has always been seen as the foundation on which the socioeconomic development of the country rests. However, in the rural world, agriculture remains traditional at a time when the challenges of food self-sufficiency to accompany emergence are launched. In the southern part of Senegal commonly called Casamance, the abundance of rain makes…

In this paper, we investigate the utilization of three effective detection methods to identify potential threats of insects in date palm trees. The detection techniques presented here are the application of infrared radiation, microwave antennas and metamaterials based sensors. Experimental trials using IR radiation took place in a local farm. Moreover, the second sensing system…

Technical safety and health are especially important for mining-extracting industry.
