Nearly 20 million premature and Low Birth Weight infants are born each year in developing countries, 4 million die within their first month. These deaths occur due to the unavailability or unreliability of traditional incubators. Moreover, although Telemedicine is helpful in rural areas, the shortage of healthcare providers have made it inaccessible in both basic healthcare. Thereby, traditional preterm...
Condition monitoring (CM) of gearbox is a crucial activity due to its importance in power transmission for many industrial applications. Monitoring temperature is an effective mean to collect useful information about the healthy conditions of the gearbox. This study investigates the use of a novel wireless temperature node to monitor and diagnose different faults on a gearbox transmission system under...
The article considers the issue of the possibility of applying the phase-measuring method in inclinometric systems of geotechnical monitoring. The main problems with use of the inclinometric systems of geotechnical monitoring. The causes, causing the occurrence of angular measurement errors. The factors affecting the accuracy of inclinometric control. A new approach of construction for inclinometric...
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive thermal ablation technique. Ablating malignant tissue entirely while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible is challenging, requiring real-time monitoring for optimal results. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the current gold standard for HIFU monitoring, providing reliable temperature information in real-time. However, MRI has several...
Temperature monitoring of medicines is essential for product quality and patient safety. Product quality is influenced by temperature perturbations and time delays in interventions. Thanks to Internet of Things (IoT) considerable progress has been made in recent years in the improvement of temperature monitoring devices. However, temperature monitoring in medicine Cold Chain remains challenging. In...
Internet of Things (IoT) and its various application domains are radically changing the lives of people, providing smart services which will ultimately constitute integral components of the living environment. The services of IoT operate based on the data flows collected from the different sensors and actuators. In this respect, the correctness and security of the sensor data transported over the...
The aim of this study was to develop a temperature-sensing USB I/O sensor platform system based on graphical monitoring and control techniques. Simple installation, built-in signal conditioning, and free supporting software make our USB I/O interface extremely easy-to-use. Additionally, this paper shed light on the contribution of applying the platform system for teaching students to understand the...
In tourism industry, a challenge is how to handle emergency situations during a journey. Although most of the tourism travel agencies focus on generating travel plans, an important part that has been ignored is to provide a creative emergency travel plan when a user meets an unforeseen situation during the journey. Thus, in order to address problems like this, the study to build a system that can...
Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) take advantage of the effect of process variation on hardware to obtain their unclonability. Traditional PUF design only focuses on the analog signals of circuits. An arbiter PUF, for example, generates responses by racing delay signals. Implementations of such PUFs usually employ large area and power consumption while providing very low throughput. To address...
This paper presents two different ways of identifying possible defects for electronic components in order to achieve predictive maintenance. The analysis is performed on the components of a power station used in telecommunication. In the first part of the paper is performed a defect analysis based on fuzzy graphs. This leads to the components causing the most accidental stops. In the second part an...
Cold chain is a term related to the equipment and processes used to keep the correct temperature, in which the products, such as food, vaccines, blood, tissues, amongst others, should be stable to be preserved. Any change in temperature can cause a damage in the specific properties in products. Because of that, it is mandatory to constantly monitor temperature and log it to offer traceability. Furthermore,...
In order to accurately predict the working temperature of isolation switch contact, the 110kV isolation switch for substation in Wufeng country of Zhaotong City, Yunnan province is regarded as the research object. The working temperature of isolation switch contact for passive wireless sensor acquisition is regarded as measured value, using linear neural network and BP neural network to respectively...
Water bodies have seen a rise in chemical pollutants in recent years. Therefore quality testing has become an essential part of treatment. Currently in India, monitoring of water quality is done by physically going to water bodies and collecting samples which are then sent to be tested in laboratories. This is time consuming and inefficient method. To automate this process, water quality monitoring...
The proposed system is based on the automation of boiler in paper manufacturing industry. In paper mills, the parameters of the boiler should be maintained constant for manufacturing paper from wood pulp and other raw materials. The high pressure cinerator, that are afford with enhanced heat transfer areas for its rated duty require some of the unique operating parameters to be controlled closely...
This paper introduces the design, calibration, and validation of a low-cost portable sensor for the real-time measurement of dust particles within the environment. The proposed design consists of low hardware cost and calibration based on temperature and humidity sensing to achieve accurate processing of airborne dust density. Using commercial particulate matter sensors, a highly accurate air quality...
This paper analyses the effects of temperature on the hysteresis of a parallel connection of LiFePO4 cells. Within an automotive battery the cells exhibit different temperatures depending on their position. Due to this the cells behave differently on charging and discharging. To quantify the effect of temperature we analyze the Open Circuit Voltage hysteresis for three different temperature differences...
Carbon-based latent heat storage systems represent a powerful class of thermal management materials that allow for the dissipation of heat produced during peak electronic output operation. The composite materials unite the good thermal conductivity of carbon, usually in the form of graphite, with the thermal characteristics of phase change materials (PCM). Applications are found in automotive systems,...
Hypoglycemia event most found during intensification glycemia control, continuously monitoring blood glucose may decrease risk of hypoglycemia but invasive procedure and high cost. The aim of this study is design the novel system to monitor hypoglycemia system in diabetes patient to prevent severe hypoglycemia event and decrease frequency to check the blood glucose level of use Pathophysiology hypoglycemia...
A BSN (Body Sensor Network) is a network designed to operate autonomously to connect the various medical sensors and implants located inside and/or outside of the human body; which offers flexible operation and cost saving options to both healthcare professionals and patients. This work illustrates the design and implementation of a smart health monitoring system. Here, a patient can be monitored...
This article describes experimental measurements of a skin temperature in vicinity of a surgical wound. Measurements were carried out in collaboration with the orthopedic department of the University Hospital Olomouc, Czech Republic. A system used for sensing, transmission and visualization of physiological parameters was developed at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen. A main goal of measurements...
