Air and Water are the most important resources of the planet that we use daily for sustaining life. Air quality affects all living creatures, from trees and plants to animals and people. Air quality, especially in the trend of more industrialized cities and with a rapid growing population of cars, is degrading. Continuous monitoring allows the national administrations to take measures in order to...
This paper presents and discusses the performance evaluation, monitoring and analysis of a Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system in a residence in Saudi Arabia. The installed air conditioning (A/C) system operates in extreme and severe weather conditions. The local area is characterized by a high level of ambient temperature, high irradiation, high humidity and frequent dust storms...
In order to improve device management level and ensure device operation stabilization, a device control and manage system (DCMS) and its application method is proposed in this paper. The DCMS and its application method are made up of four essential parts: scheme design, data acquisition, data upload and transfer, applications. The details of each part have been illustrated comprehensively. Finally,...
In order to reduce the influence of wire drawing process on the quality of cable and realize remote monitoring, an intelligent monitoring system for the quality of wire was designed. This system uses the concentrator with STM32 as the main control chip to get wire drawing data during the wire production from each acquisition terminal through the Modbus communication protocol, and then sends data to...
This is an experimental study for acquisition, measurement, processing and display of human health parameters like ECG, Body temperature as well as Saline status. Primarily ECG signal is detected using surface electrodes. As the signal is very feeble in amplitude so an instrumentation amplifier is designed to amplify the acquired ECG signal. Second order Butterworth filter is used to remove the noise...
This paper describes the realization, calibration process and initial experimental data analysis of the prototype version of adaptive weather station. The device relays on an ultra-low power micro architecture and adaptive power distribution mechanism. It is dynamically reconfigurable for working in high performance, real time transfer mode with direct operator control; and ultra-low power, fully...
On-line monitoring of function and condition parameters and the efficiency of the cooling system are key elements in determining the working condition of transformers. This paper presents the implemented hardware and software solutions for carrying out the winding temperature on-line monitoring system using fiber optic sensors. The actual winding temperature is a measurand which defines the condition,...
In recent days, our way of living has been changed more, lead to health consciousness, so health monitoring system is most important part of our life. In this proposed method, an RTOS based Wireless Sensor Network architecture has been developed for the health monitoring. One node acts as central and the others will be a slaves which are used for data acquisition. Data acquisition node uses the Peripheral...
The industrial environment contains various kinds of motors. For various applications we have to control its parameters like speed, position, temperature and also we have to keep watch on environment where they are working. This paper presents various techniques to access the motor parameters remotely over web with the help of Virtual Instrumentation tools in LabVIEW. So using LabVIEW we can develop...
Railway is one of the most used means of transportation. For the railway system to operate flawlessly constant monitoring and inspection of railway tracks is required. Currently railway track inspection and monitoring is done manually which is time taking and not accurate, due to the high chance of human error occurrence. Moreover, practically it is impossible to inspect and monitor the railway track...
The Heavy Photon Search (HPS) experiment at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) will search for heavy photons, which are new hypothesized massive vector bosons. The experiment consists of an electromagnetic calorimeter and Silicon Vertex Tracker (SVT). The SVT Data Acquisition System (DAQ) supports readout and processing of signals from 36 silicon strip sensors of the SVT. It also...
Developing a reliable online condition monitoring prognostic indicator tool for MV cables is of great importance as it can predict and prevent upcoming failures of the distribution cable circuits. This paper introduces a thermal prognostic model for MV underground cable terminations based on a support vector regression algorithm. The model is shown to predict the likely temperature along the cable...
Athletes participating in competitive physical activity are susceptible to injury and overexertion. Due to the invasiveness of some monitoring devices, lack of durability, and discomfort when worn, most health monitoring devices are not suitable for athletes to wear during sports-based practices or games. The TCNJ Athlete Tracker was designed to monitor impact forces on the body, dehydration levels,...
Induction motors are popularly used as an electric drives are the critical component in industrial systems. In the industrial application a large rating of induction motors are used which produce a significant heat. The heat is produced in the motor due to the different types of losses inside the motor. Hence, a proper cooling system is required to dissipate the heat and keep motor temperature within...
Health monitoring is crucial for the survival of the ill and fragile infants admitted at the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in a hospital. However, the adhesive electrodes and wires used for monitoring cause discomfort to such patients and hamper the parent-child interaction. In this paper we propose the application of wireless transmission technology for neonatal monitoring at NICU. To achieve...
In recent years control room environment is one of the highly required place in process automation industries. The user will get the information about the process station only on the control room. Here my proposed work will provide the information about the surrounding process parameters to the user instantly on his smart phone along with alarming feature so user can interact with the field parameters...
In the EC funded GROUND-MED project, a geothermal heat pump has been installed at the University of Oradea for heating and cooling a building used by the Department of Visual Arts. The operation of the system automated and the operating parameters are continuously monitored, the data being transmitted to two servers, one in Athens at the Center for Renewable Energy Sources and Savings (project coordinator),...
CES-NUST has installed Pakistans first GTL (Gas to Liquid) pilot plant based on Fischer Tropsch synthesis. SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) for Fischer Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) is concerned with the monitoring of the vital parameters of bench scale plant. In the present paper the physical parameters are obtained from sensors, processed and displayed by using graphical user interface...
In this paper improved design of previously developed system for temperature and relative humidity measurement and data acquisition is described. Hardware of the system is extended with Arduino Uno and Ethernet Shield boards. SHT11 sensor is used for obtaining information about air temperature and relative humidity. Storing the results is on the micro SD card in CSV file. Main software improvement...
