The uncertainty propagation through the polynomial nonlinearity can only be estimated through numerical simulation or linearization approximation according to the Guide to the expression of Uncertainty in Measurement. This paper developed a general cookbook style guide to derive the analytical expression of uncertainty propagating through the polynomial regression models. The proposed method can be easily incorporated into any computer algebra system for reliable and fast evaluation. Specific expressions are derived explicitly for some of the most commonly used low order polynomial regression models. The framework is applied to a few recently published sensor and measurement system models.","PeriodicalId":125872,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium (SAS)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114877292","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}

In this paper, an FSF fiber laser with an output spectrum in the 777.5 nm range is presented. The cavity of the laser works in the 1555 nm range, enabling the use of cheap standard telecom products. Since a wavelength of 1555 nm is not detectable with silicon semiconductor devices, the output of the laser is frequency-doubled by a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal, which shifts the output spectrum from 1555 nm to 777.5 nm. It could be shown that frequency doubling is a feasible way to shift the output spectrum of the laser to a range which is detectable by silicon, without destroying the special properties of the FSF laser.","PeriodicalId":125872,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium (SAS)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121832381","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}

Results of fluid testing show sensitivity to changes in fluid height of less than 0.25in. An RF-DC harvesting circuit was developed, which delivers up to 5dBm of input power through a remote radio frequency (RF) source. Testing was conducted in a loaded reverberation chamber to emulate the fuel tank environment. Results demonstrate feasibility of the remote source to power the sensor with less than 1W of maximum transmit power and under 100ms dwell time (100mW average power) into the tank. This indicates adequate coverage for large transport aircraft at safe operating levels with a sample rate of up to 1 sample/s.","PeriodicalId":125872,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium (SAS)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129049680","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}

These sensors detect optical reflectance to derive spectral vegetation indices, such as the normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI), and are subsequently calibrated to measure plant parameters e.g. biomass. However, research has demonstrated the accuracy of the derived measurements can often be improved by including both a spectral index and a corresponding measure of plant height. This paper describes an active, optical sensor that integrates modulated reflectance sensing with the ability to measure (range) the distance between the source and a target surface. Two ranging techniques are evaluated; one based on the inverse square law (ISL) of reflected radiation and another based on a position-sensitive detector (PSD). Both ranging methods proved capable of reliably delineating target distances out to 4.0 m from the source. Over this range, the PSD detector exhibited a distance-invariant RMSE of ± 2.6 cm whilst the ISL method exhibited an almost linear increase in error of ± 25 % of the measured distance to a spectralon target. Application to a vegetative target (Kikuyu grass), demonstrated the ISL ranging method to yield an average RMSE of ± 3.0 cm in the range of 0.60-1.40 m, while the average RMSE of the PSD over a range of 0.50-1.10 m was observed to be ± 10.0 cm. Despite superior accuracy, target reflectance variations may prove problematic in the use of a PSD ranging sensor and requires further investigation.","PeriodicalId":125872,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium (SAS)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132515232","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}

In this preliminary study, we designed a flexible patch type sensor that can measure electrical and mechanical signal simultaneously on a single unit. The Ballistocardiogram-Electrocardiogram patch (BEpatch), integrated with flexible circuit and attached to chest, can successfully measure fine electrocardiogram (ECG) and BCG signals simultaneously.

This work describes BlurSense, a tool that provides secure and customizable access to all of the sensors on smartphones, tablets, and similar end user devices. The current access control to the smartphone resources, such as sensor data, is static and coarse-grained. BlurSense is a dynamic, fine-grained, flexible access control mechanism, acting as a line of defense that allows users to define and add privacy filters. As a result, the user can expose filtered sensor data to untrusted apps, and researchers can collect data in a way that safeguards users' privacy.","PeriodicalId":125872,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium (SAS)","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124314221","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}
