Electrochemical Fabrics
In article number 2106088, Liang An, Li Li, and co‐workers design an innovative textile‐based monitoring system, which is formed by weaving pH, strain, humidity, temperature, and UV light sensing fibers into an electrochemical fabric, to provide a reliable and integrated solution for the conservation of valuable yet fragile textile relics.
Textiles and apparel archaeology is an indispensable part of history and archaeology. As most unearthed textile relics are silk, soft and multi‐layered in nature, their frangibility poses enormous difficulties in their transportation, storage and exhibition. Traditional methods may not be suitable for accurately monitoring their condition under various external situations, due to the particularity...
This paper presents a real-time, low-cost, wireless, AC and DC monitoring system based on an ATmega328P-PU microcontroller. The proposed system is composed by different client nodes, which have the task to measure the main electrical quantities involved in the system, and a server node that collects the data and send them to a display device. The system is well suited for a good accuracy monitoring...
One of the most important issue that must be addressed in designing communication protocols for wireless sensor networks (WSN) is how to save sensor node energy while meeting the needs of applications. Recent researches have led to new protocols specifically designed for sensor networks where energy awareness is an essential consideration. Internet of Things (IoT) is an innovative ICT paradigm where...
The ability of monitoring a laboratory scale power system is crucial for research and educational purposes. This paper proposes the development of a low-cost real-time platform for monitoring a laboratory scale power system. The design and development of this novel monitoring system is based on a TMS320F28335 microcontroller of Texas Instruments. The microcontroller reads voltage and current measurements...
The proposed system can optimize the management and efficiency of street lighting systems. It uses ZigBee-based wireless devices. It also uses a sensor combination to control and guarantee the desired system parameters. A monitoring system based on the embedded Internet technology for street light is designed and implemented. The mode adopted in this monitoring system is the Browser/Server mode. The...
Wireless sensors network (WSN) is changing the interactive modes between human-beings and the natural world. ZigBee technology, as a newly-developed technology, has the advantages of low power consumption and latency. Combined with internet, ZigBee provides a new way to monitor biological information that is closely related to people's lives. In this paper, we build a biological information monitoring...
A volcano monitoring system plays a key role for launching emergency early warning, and the use of alternative technologies have proven their effectiveness in this setting, which is the case of wireless sensor networks. For surveillance systems, the real-time requirement is mandatory due to the need for immediate access to the signals derived from a natural disaster where the goal is safeguarding...
In order to overcome the disadvantages of boarding bridge's collapse and scraping the plane without early warning, a design of wireless fault early warning and monitoring system combining ZigBee wireless communication technology and variable sensors which are used to detect vibration, position, and faults, was proposed. The structure of network, the design of hardware and the software modules of the...
In this paper, we present an improved version of a recently-developed monitoring circuit devised to measure the operating voltage and current, the open circuit voltage, and the short circuit current of string-connected photovoltaic (PV) panels. The system can substitute the junction box, is fully self-powered, and does not require additional cables thanks to a wireless communication. An extensive...
While wearable sensor systems are now widely used to monitor vital signs in hospitals and at home, most such systems are designed for bedridden patients. In contrast, the use of wireless sensors to capture physiological data from patients for long term health monitoring is becoming increasingly popular although some previous studies recorded complaints from users about discomfort when wearing these...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are expected to be deployed in various areas in the future for monitoring and interacting with the physical environment. The sensors are constraint devices, so 6LoWPAN is proposed by IETF to adapt IPv6 into the WSNs environment. However, due to the use of short address and compression, IPv6/IPv4 enabled devices cannot support the 6LoWPAN adaptation layer as well as...
An analysis of placed onboard several spacecraft TID sensors measurements is presented. Flight data are compared with other monitoring systems data and with ground measurements.
The management procedures governing the economic activities are not useful unless they are accompanied by sustainability principles related to environmental preservation and social welfare. The proposed project, as presented in this article, will allow the optimization of environmental inspections of areas whose preservation is of paramount importance, especially in cases like the edges of hydroelectric...
Rain fall induced landslides are a common cause of damages to life and property in the Western Ghats region in south India. Work have been in progress to develop a monitoring system to predict the landslides to reduce the loss of human life. We have developed and deployed a Wireless Sensor Network to monitor rainfall induced landslide, in Munnar, South India. A successful landslide warning was issued...
This paper aims to show the necessity, requirements and development of an affordable monitoring and telecare system for patients with chronic heart failure. It presents Health @ Home1, a project partly co-funded by the European Ambient Assisted Living Programme (AAL) which has the purpose to provide an integral solution for the societal problems related to the provision of healthcare services for...
Process industries require supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA) or distributed control systems (DCS) depending upon geographic distribution of the plant instrumentation. Remote operation of the hazardous field needs quite a good amount of instrumentation support for control as well as monitoring purposes. The various parameters to be monitored are pressure, flow, level, displacement,...
This paper presents a monitoring and forecasting system for Grid resources, based on Java and agent technologies. Performance monitoring, measurement and forecasting of Grid resources is an active research area, several researches and projects are studying and developing Grid information systems in order to provide users or schedulers with services necessary to determine which grid resource fulfills...
According to electromagnetic coupling relationship between metal wear debris and inductive coil, a novel inductive wear debris sensor and the monitoring system are designed. The testing rig of in-line wear debris monitoring is applied to test the detection capability and conformity of the sensor. The experimental results show that the sensor has effective detection capability for ferromagnetic wear...
Conceptualization and development of a novel device to monitor mobilization of fingers of a patient suffering from post-traumatic stiffness of the tendons is presented in this paper. Effectiveness of the treatment depends largely on this component of recovery and is unfortunately beyond the scope of continuous vigil by the doctor. The major post-operative procedure is to keep flexing and extending...
