Sleep quality is an important factor for human physical and mental health, day-time performance, and safety. Sufficient sleep quality can reduce risk of chronic disease and mental depression. Sleep helps brain to work properly that can improve productivity and prevent accident because of falling asleep. In order to analyze the sleep quality, reliable continuous monitoring system is required. The emergence...
The implementation of a low-cost electro pneumatic bank from an existing educational pneumatic equipment is exposed. The proposed bank operates with a PLC. To demonstrate its advantage, a stamping machine is simulated using Ladder and Grafcet language. This demonstration can simulate any machine or process requiring up to four electro pneumatic cylinders.

Materials and devices employed at the large CERN High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments and accelerators need to be first evaluated for their tolerance to radiation damage. IRRAD is one of the facilities used for this purpose at CERN. In IRRAD, samples are exposed to a Gaussian 12×12mm2-wide high-energy proton beam (24GeV/c) to given fluence levels. Custom-made Beam Profile Monitor (BPM) detectors...
With increasingly sophisticated experiment, online Data Quality Monitoring (DQM) is of a significant importance for the detector and operation efficiency. Most experiments use their own Event Data Model (EDM) for data taking and built a dedicated monitoring system on top of it. This leads to a strong dependency to the data format and storage, making the reusability of the system for another experiment...
An independent monitoring system aiming for the detection of deviations from the prescribed treatment in hadrontherapy is presented. The system is based on prompt gamma-ray detection via scintillation detectors and the use of time-of-flight information. Test measurements at cyclotrons show the influence of degraders used in passive beam delivery systems. A dedicated data acquisition card has been...
Agricultural sector has been facing great challenges in order to feed the increasing number of population living in the world. In the future, it will be very difficult to rely on traditional farming to produce food. Some researchers and industry experts have begun developing smart farming by utilizing information technology. This paper presents the conceptual model and system design for decision support...
A data acquisition and monitoring system of machine tools is designed, which is based on Zigbee and GPRS wireless communication technology. The monitoring and alerting about the safety status of the machine tools operates via the acquisition of such physical parameters as temperature and noise.

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...
In this paper, a self-powered lightning current sensor based on the electromagnetic induction principle has been proposed. The sensor whose signal coil and power harvesting coil are nested in lightning channel (such as grounding wire of lightning arresters) can be triggered and powered by the lighting current. The signal acquisition is realized by the signal coil, and the polarity and peak value of...
