In the field of grey box technique in measurement systems, the focus is directed on a priori information about different complex parts of the process. We often need to model different parts of the process, in sub-models. This approach often results in effective systems, which are more suitable for the application. In this paper two measurement systems based on grey-box technique are shown. The two cases deal with two separate fields of measurements, namely a non-contact temperature measurement approach and a localization problem. Generally, the models are based on physical laws and often involve nonlinearities. In these cases, we deal with a priori information about the processes involved and focus on the existing sensors","PeriodicalId":214056,"journal":{"name":"2005 Sensors for Industry Conference","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125731517","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 sensor detects yaw rate of automobiles. The concept of the sensor design is the open beam structure (OBS). In the OBS, excitation and detection electrodes are open toward exterior bonding pads in a plane. The OBS has high independency between excitation and detection modes. The FEM analysis was carried out and the results showed the OBS was highly independent compared to other structures. This good feature contributed to the stability of vibration mode for the sensor. The OBS also made it possible to wire from the electrodes besides the mass to the exterior bonding electrodes with mono-layer silicon of the SOI. By means of the easy wirings the process and the packaging became simple. The sensor was fabricated by surface micro machining process to miniaturize the size.

Such applications require sensors can provide relative long time, continuous, and accurate measurements in hostile pavement environments. And sensors should be in contact with soils, concrete, asphalt or other pavement material In this paper, a 2.4GHz integrated parallel-plate soil moisture sensor system is presented. The moisture sensor is based on the principle that the phase shift in the transmission line is the function of medium dielectric constant, which is related to the moisture content. Compared with other methods like TDR and microstrip resonator, the phase shift detection method has better performance for these applications. Detailed sensor head design is based on the consideration of sensitivity, linearity, impedance match, dynamic range and power plane requirement. The solution is fully digital with integrated RF synthesizer, micro-controller, phase detection circuitry, baseband signal processing circuits, and digital communication protocol. The system calibration is built in the software program. The power management system reduces power consumption.

Historically, it was restricted to space industry. Manufacturing industries preferred distributed control over direct computer control partly for the fact that the computer were not so reliable and reliable ones were quite expensive to be cost effective. As the computers are becoming more affordable and reliable, the direct computer control systems are being adopted by industry for monitoring and controlling of industrial processes. The process control scheme combines the power of computer processing and convenience of wireless conduit in one control system. We believe that the industrial process can be controlled from a computer over a wireless conduit. We also believe that the wireless direct computer control of an industrial process can be achieved through many of the currently available technologies. In this paper a direct computer control with a dependable wireless conduit for controlling, testing and monitoring of a remotely located rotating electric machine is presented.
