To overcome this we propose in this work, the design, optimization and simulation of a MEMS quartz mass (QCM) sensor array. A circular mass sensor placed in an array of four sensors with working electrode radius, r = 100μm and centre to centre distance between electrodes, s=2.5mm was designed. Based on COMSOL simulations, resonance frequency of 10.40MHz and mass sensitivity of 0.223 Hz.cm2.ng−1 in liquids was obtained. Simulations indicate the best placement of the quadruple MEMS sensors in an array such that their signals do not interfere with each other. Low degradation of resonance frequency up to 40 kHz was observed based on simulation results.","PeriodicalId":137841,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 4th International Conference on Smart Instrumentation, Measurement and Application (ICSIMA)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131875570","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}

This emerging technology is gaining interest from sensor manufacturers as well as academicians across the globe. The concept of employing EH module must be cost effective and practical. In such, the use of EH module type besides RF is more realistic due to the size of the scavenger module, the availability of the resources and conversion efficiency. Most of the oil and gas plants have some drawbacks in scavenging RF from surrounding (i.e. router, Wi-Fi, base station, cell phone) due to its placement in remote area and thus limited energy sources could be a threat in this application. Multiple sources, including co-channel interference (CCI) in any constraint nodes is a feasible way of scavenging several wastes from ambient RF energy via wireless mesh topology. In this paper, a 3-node decode-and-forward (DF) model is proposed where the relay node is subject to an energy constraint. Multiple primary sources and CCI are added in the system model known as Multiple-Source and Single-Relay (MSSR). A mathematical model is derived in Power Splitting Relaying (PSR) schemes to obtain an average system throughput at a destination. Numerical simulation with respect to the average throughput and power ratio was performed and compared with the Single-Source and Single-Relay (SSSR) and ideal receiver. By applying multiple sources and CCI as an energy enhancement at the constraint node, the optimal value of EH ratio for PSR is increased by 10% as compared to the ideal receiver with better system capacity.","PeriodicalId":137841,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 4th International Conference on Smart Instrumentation, Measurement and Application (ICSIMA)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130779267","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}

A vision-based imaging technique, that gives a practitioner a new perspective for the needle infusion procedure, is introduced. The idea behind of this process is to use the IR camera to capture video sequences of the arm and then compute the effect of electromagnetic wave imprint on each pixel. Then trace the vein location by locating the NIR illumination that is absorbed by the blood in the vein and highlighting it in comparison to the surrounding tissue. Interestingly, this can lead to other applications for the developed system like locating abdominal bleeding, stroke inducing clots in veins near the skin surface and body part vein map-based individual identification biometric to name a few.","PeriodicalId":137841,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 4th International Conference on Smart Instrumentation, Measurement and Application (ICSIMA)","volume":"455 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134408772","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}

The designed circuit has a low number of components and managed 4 types of sensors for 4 parameters that are necessary to maintain the Real-Time analysis of PV performance. The circuit has only XBee RF module as an active circuit components, several passive (resistors and capacitors) for PV voltage, current, and those for signal conditioning, temperature and irradiance sensors were also involved.

The proposed RCPS is designed using six slots, in which each slot has the capability to accommodate only one car. The trigonometric approach is used to derived the equations, in which the RCPS mechanism achieved using different angle, including 0°–90°, 90°–166°, 166°–180°, 180°–194°, 194°–270° and 270°–360°. In this paper, two equations were derived to determine the optimum coordinate positions and the minimum power required.

As India is doing good in enhancing its economy due to which it has raised the living standards of people in India, so most of the people prefer to travel through their car and not by public transport. This has increased the chances of road accidents, jams and traffic imbalance. Along with this, as cars are the closed cabinet which traps air and not allows fresh air to get inside on excessive usage of AC and blower. It makes car environment suffocating due unburnt hydrocarbons and release of harmful gases from AC and blower. This leads to death when trapped inside the car for longer duration, as in state of suffocation mental power retards. There are instances of brake fail that increases the car speed or sudden fire that increases car temperature, leads to threatening situations. Our project is a solution to these problems; we are monitoring the real-time environment conditions through different sensors and updating it to user on an android app with environment specific action taking notification. If at a point, when person does not take any action after getting notification an auto generated message is also be sent to important people or nearby hospital and police station by the help of GPS and GSM technologies. Along with this by the help of vehicular networking, we are also passing on the information to other vehicles on-board to update them with traffic details to avoid accidents (GPS to calculate speed level of different cars).

However RSS is highly affected by a range of factors including slight changes in the environment (e.g. the presence of obstacles and multipath) and equipment used. These factors contribute to large variations in the RSS and consequently lead to inaccuracy in distance estimation. In this paper, the variations in the RSS due to the environment and equipment uncertainties and its impact on the distance estimation from the measurements point of view were investigated. Measurements using high performance equipment in a controlled environment of an anechoic chamber were conducted. More specifically, distant-independent (DI) RSS measurements where distance between the transmitter and receiver are kept constant were carried out at different locations in the chamber and the results are compared with measurements using varying distance (distant-dependent (DD)) RSS measurements. The analysis carried out show that DI method gives a more accurate RSS measurement in the environment and consequently better distance estimation than DD at 12cm error for 95% of samples as compared to 35cm error for DD measurements.","PeriodicalId":137841,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 4th International Conference on Smart Instrumentation, Measurement and Application (ICSIMA)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116896453","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}
