In the wearable electronics field for biomedical applications, smart textiles are very attractive as sensing devices. They can be fixed with dedicated indicators in order to detect physical quantities which could otherwise be difficult to measure with standard methods. This paper presents the development of a novel platform that using smart textiles, retrieves the information about the pH value by measuring color, which is easily manageable by a readout electronic system. The pH meter consists of a cotton fabric, with a color indicator sol gel fixed on it, in association with an extremely low-power and high-sensitivity electronic system. The device main blocks were fabricated and characterized, with the aim to obtain a wearable sweat pH-meter. The paper discusses the electronic readout innovative features, from the standpoints of performance and sensing properties.","PeriodicalId":101720,"journal":{"name":"2012 Ninth International Conference on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129880277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When two or more BANs are co-located and operate on the same channel, active periods can overlap and transmissions can conflict. This phenomenon, that drastically reduces performances and reliability of BANs, is known as BAN-BAN interference. In order to solve this issue, it is possible to employ techniques such as channel switching. However, channel switching is not suitable if the amount of channels is lower than the amount co-located BANs and, considering that interferences of Zigbee/802.15.4 networks with other technologies like 802.11 or Bluetooth reduce the amount of channels available for communication, an alternative approach is required. This paper introduces a BAN-BAN Interference Reduction System (B2IRS) which reschedules beacon packets in order to avoid active period overlap, reducing the interferences between distinct BANs. This approach is complementary to channel switching since it works with single-channel interferences, that arise when no free channels are available anymore. Experimental results, conducted comparing our methodology with the original IEEE 802.15.4, show that B2IRS is able to effectively reduce BAN-BAN interference, making it possible to almost maintain the same performance and energy consumption of an ideal situation (without interferences).","PeriodicalId":101720,"journal":{"name":"2012 Ninth International Conference on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115163492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
