Measurements were made using the waveguide cell technique covering the frequency range of 2.3 to 6.5GHz. This has shown that for the desired contrast between heartwood and Sapwood to be achieved the imaging system must operate above 4GHz. Additional work was undertaken to establish a method to correct these measurements for variations in basic density and EarlywoodLatewood banding, giving rise to a potential moisture content estimation error of 0.63%.

On the one hand, the level of security of a territory is increased by deploying several monitoring cameras and sensors able to detect meaningful events. On the other hand, all these monitoring and alerting systems deployed by different companies or organizations are independent from each other. An integration mechanism is still missing, but it can represent a very strategic approach to provide strong Homeland Security services. Cloud Computing may provide a valid support to merge contributions of several heterogeneous sensing infrastructures interconnected through the Internet. In this work we introduce a new Cloud architecture able to virtualize different types of sensing infrastructures in virtual sensing elements, logically belonging to Cooperating Clouds. It represents a very flexible solution, which offers seamless, secure and advanced services to support Homeland Security. The description of a Use-Case, that is the Transportation of Dangerous Goods, helps us to better describe our Cloud architecture, highlighting its features and peculiarities.","PeriodicalId":202062,"journal":{"name":"2011 Fifth International Conference on Sensing Technology","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115454986","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, we present a review on metal oxide nanostructures synthesized by arc discharge demonstrating that arc discharge is a fast and inexpensive synthesis method which can be used to produce high quality metal oxide nanostructures for chemical sensing measurements.

The gas sensing performances of various gases were tested. The thick films showed highest response to NH3 (100 ppm) at 300°C. The film was modified by dipping in 0.1M CdCl2 solution for the time intervals of 5, 10, 20 and 30 minutes and surface morphology was observed by SEM technique. The sensitivity and selectivity to different gases was tested and first time it was investigated that the film showed highest response to H2S gas at operating temperature 300°C by dipping technique. The sensitivity and selectivity may be further enhanced by Cd doping. The quick response and fast recovery time was recorded.","PeriodicalId":202062,"journal":{"name":"2011 Fifth International Conference on Sensing Technology","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115067934","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}

Especially old buses can be upgraded with the Onboard-Unit to monitor and inform the bus driver about his driveability. The driver can adapt his driveability to improve the vehicle safety and reduce the fuel consumption. Since CAN-Bus access is often not available in old buses wireless measurement unit such as GPS and the rotational measurement unit are used to measure the bus velocity and the rotational speed of the engine respectively. Furthermore a laser scanner measures the distance to the vehicle ahead. The sensor peripheries and the components for the Onboard-Unit are analyzed and selected for easy installation. The Onboard-Unit logs the sensor data and creates a driver profile. The bus operator can monitor the real time driveability of the bus on a web interface connected to the Onboard-Unit through a GSM-Module.","PeriodicalId":202062,"journal":{"name":"2011 Fifth International Conference on Sensing Technology","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128477673","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}

{"title":"Application of an FBG sensors system for structural health monitoring and high performance trimming on racing yacht","authors":"C. Vendittozzi, G. Sindoni, Cécile Paris, P. P. del Marmo","doi":"10.1109/ICSENST.2011.6137057","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICSENST.2011.6137057","url":null,"abstract":"Real time Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a requirement in all fields of engineering and is aimed at assuring the safety of the structures themselves and of the people who use them or move around them. This leads to the need for a monitoring system, stable and effective, which allows long term measurement campaigns, even throughout the whole lifetime of a structure; such a system, integrated with the structure to be monitored in real time, shall be invisible, durable (more of the structure itself), but should not interfere with the physical characteristic being measured (strain, acceleration, temperature, etc). The same requirements are also present in many sports: motor racing (cars and motorbikes), aerobatics and also yacht racing (regattas), where a monitoring system helps checking the status of the structure (car, bike, airplane, boat), for the safety of people on board, and for improving performance by making real time variation on aerodynamic and mechanical components (such as spoilers, wings, winglets, brakes, suspension), as it is now being done for over thirty years with the telemetry. Telemetry has been a key factor in modern motor racing: engineers analyze the vast amount of data collected during a test or a race (accelerations, temperature, speed of the wheels and displacement of suspensions) and use them to tune the car for optimizing performance. In this paper a monitoring and trimming system for racing yachts based on fiber optic FBG sensors integrated inside the structure itself is presented. Several applications are described where sensing system has been installed on the boat mast, either glued externally or embedded inside the material (carbon fiber reinforced composite, CFRC) during manufacturing, and on the sails. The same system can be used to monitor hull, keel, rudder, etc. Prevention of serious damage on a racing yacht might be achieved by monitoring the loading conditions and by inspecting the structural integrity, but if it is not easy to estimate loads (generally due to waves and winds) it could be easier to check the structural integrity in real time.","PeriodicalId":202062,"journal":{"name":"2011 Fifth International Conference on Sensing Technology","volume":"194 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128710858","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}
