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...
This paper deals with the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) problem. The main objective is to limit it by controlling the main reasons that may lead to it. Sudden infant death syndrome is the death without specific reason of a healthy newborn, usually during sleep. Although the causes are unknown, SIDS may be related to abnormalities in the infant's brain that controls breathing and arousal from...
The river pollution has become a prominently environmental problem to human survival. Thus it is in urgent demand for real-time monitoring of river water. However, traditional methods have some disadvantages such as complicated instrument, high cost and cumbersome operation. Herein, we developed wireless conductivity sensor, which forms a monitoring network system based on ZigBee. The node of the...
Because sensor's and electrical techniques is progressing, some physiological instruments, like pulse oximeter oxygen saturation, electrocardiograph, body temperature, and heart rate monitor, have been developed as the wearable apparatuses. Now, the electrical blood pressure monitor all uses a cuff to measure the blood pressure. If the electrical blood pressure monitor wants to become a wearable apparatus,...
As the number of devices (things) connected to the Internet (Internet of things: IoT) is growing, achieving robust security and privacy (S&P) is becoming increasingly challenging. With the heavy use of medical things (MT), the S&P in the medical domain poses a serious issue that continues to grow. Due to the criticality and sensitivity of the data in the healthcare domain, ensuring...
The general structure of the electric traction system highlights the complexity and diversity of electrical equipment from the power supply. The return circuit, part of electric traction railway, consists of the running rails, the joint coils and the return feeder to the traction substation. Monitoring of the electrical equipment, existent in the electric traction railway, is a newest concept. The...
The paper describes how different parameters from vacuum circuit breaker influence the closing and opening time. Operational voltage, ambient temperature or hydraulic pressure can introduce delays in opening and closing the circuit breaker. These parameters are motorized through sensors that send all the data to a control unit. The control unit calculates the decision/(time) when to make controlled...
As technology evolves, the Internet of Things (IoT) is gaining more importance for constituting a foundation to reach better connectivity between people and things. For this to happen, certain strategies and processes are considered to enhance and grant optimal interoperability between the heterogenous devices of a typical IoT network. Two major key aspects of these networks are autonomous error recovery...
Subsea power cables forms a major part of tidal energy systems and are damaged easily due to drag of the ship anchors and fishing trolls. This paper addresses both structural health of subsea cable as well as a multi-sensor monitoring techniques for a robust defect detection system. The paper addresses the dominant failure modes and the parameters to identify through appropriate sensor-signal method...
Real-time monitoring system of effluent discharge of Sewerage Treatment Plant (STP) has received attention and interest in the context of providing an accurate and continuous waste water quality information by following the minimum criteria of water quality as applied in the Department of Environmental (DOE) and Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) practice. The system not only can be monitored, but also...
High-performance processors utilize embedded thermal sensors to continuously monitor the temperature of the chip during runtime. However, the overheating locations change temporally and spatially, depending on the various workloads running on the chip. Moreover, on-chip thermal sensor readings are highly affected by noise due to fabrication variations and randomness, which make the task of thermal...
High-level university technology can enhance student learning with hands-on experience, but the complexity of these tools can also create challenges for users. This study investigates the benefits and challenges of laboratory tools in high school settings through the lens of a project-based learning model. Participants in the investigation are stakeholders in a university outreach program known as...
The online temperature measurement technology is analyzed and verified in this paper based on power supplied by the inductive current and wireless communication technique combined with the structure and principle of disconnector, solving problems in the online temperature measure system such as wireless data transmission, sensor operating supply and equipment high reliability in an environment of...
Soil and nutrient depletion from intensive use of land is a critical issue for food production. An understanding of whether the soil is adequately treated with appropriate crop management practices in real-time during production cycles could prevent soil erosion and the overuse of natural or artificial resources to keep the soil healthy and suitable for planting. Precision agriculture traditionally...
Over the last few decades, minimally invasive treatments have gained large interest as alternative to surgical resection. Among others, thermal treatments have broad clinical acceptance for treating a number of solid tumors. In this context, the knowledge of temperature during the treatment may be useful to improve the clinical outcomes. The aim of this work is to assess the feasibility of two multipoint...
This article describes a monitoring system that uses wearable devices for vital signs monitoring through clothes and transferring them wirelessly to an Android mobile interface. Allowing emissions of emergency signals when vital signs exceed the nominal values. The reliability of the implemented clothing has been determined with collected data on experimental tests and compared with values from medical...
The concept of quality of life is used as a measure of the welfare of a society, highlighting the relationship between the environment and health, mainly associated with pollution. Hence the importance of monitoring and communicating its results, in a timely manner, to the community. But often the last part of the process fail, there is a lack of communication between data, information and community...
There are a large number of switch stations that are discretely distributed in the power distribution network. Traditional inspection methods cannot detect heating hazards and partial discharge inside the switchgear in time, and cannot accurately identify the operation conditions of the switchgear. It lacks effective means to manage switch station equipment. This paper designs a rail-robot based remote...
In order to meet the needs of safety, durability and reliability for the battery management system, the data monitoring and diagnosis for the battery management system platform is researched and developed. The platform based on the CAN bus technology, in the VC++6.0 development environment, implement the battery management system running state monitoring, fault diagnosis, parameter configuration,...
This paper proposes the two-stage control structure which is composed of battery management unit and central management unit in order to improve the monitoring and management technology of integrated power supply in power system. The paper presents a battery management system (BMS) design scheme. We designed its hardware circuit and verified in the laboratory conditions. The results show that the...
