Using a modular build up of these and additional components such as organic circuitry and/or embedded thinned silicon dies will allow for an almost 2 dimensional design with a variety of resulting products. The emphasis will be given on the design and the fabrication of modules for a pulse-oximeter device and integration into a wireless smart bandage.

The detection of gases found in atmosphere such as: Carbon dioxide, Hydrogen and Methane depend on Taguchi gas sensors by varying the load resistance of each sensor, which can increase sensibility and selectivity of gas detection. This paper provides the measurement setup for gas detection by using variation in load resistance and calibration curves of each gas with different concentrations and different sensors. It also presents the combination of a gas sensor array together with surface response modeling algorithms to detect the concentration of gas and to describe the performance of each gas. To investigate, the performance prediction accuracy of each model type, the predicted results for each empirical algorithm are compared with the actual results. The full quadratic empirical model is considered to be the best with, the least error using different sensors.","PeriodicalId":225041,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130545793","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 fair description of implementation detail is given in the body of the paper while focus is on analyzing the experimental results. Experiments were based on a test capsule transmitting radio frequency (RF) signals pulses at 433 MHz; a Receiver based on microcontroller circuits with ADC capability and a means of transferring the received signal strength intensity (RSSI) voltage converted to digital, from the microcontroller to the personal computer (PC). Primary focus is a unique and practical way of achieving the task of dynamically identifying the location of the capsule in real-time as it traverses the experimental duct. Tracking results for experiments in liquid simulating the electrical behavior of the lower portion of the intestines yielded an average error of about 18.9%. These results were validated with the Bland-Altman plots using manual measurements as gold standard. Overall analysis shows that the end result of the algorithm is quite suitable for tracking ingestible telemetry capsules in the GI tract.","PeriodicalId":225041,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129304917","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}

Using the CSMA/CA protocol, radios compete to reserve the right-to-transmit with relative short control packets, rather than directly competing for data transmissions with relatively long data packets. Once a reservation is made, a single data channel is normally used for the data transmission. The performance characteristics of the reservation MAC protocol with a single data channel is well known. However, its performance for multiple data channels has not been clearly characterized for practical applications. This paper derives the performance achievable by the MAC protocol with multiple data channels, and their relative performance measures are compared. The results can easily be applied by users to assess the system performance achievable against their operational needs.","PeriodicalId":225041,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114097366","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}

Described below is the design, fabrication, and testing of a rapid and inexpensive sensor, involving the use of microelectrodes in a micro-channel, which can be used to detect target antigens electrically (label-free format) in real-time. As a proof of principle, we have successfully demonstrated real-time detection of target antigens by measuring instantaneous changes in ionic impedance. We have also demonstrated the selectivity of our sensors in responding to target antigens while remaining irresponsive to non-target antigens. Using this technique, an array of these sensors can be multiplexed onto a biochip and used to detect the various biomarkers present in a complex mixture.","PeriodicalId":225041,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132751306","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}

Of particular interest are the pitch links, which control the angle of attack of the rotor blades. Because the pitch link is in constant motion, instrumenting these critical components is challenging. Wires cannot be easily run to areas where strains need to be measured. Thus, a wireless system must be able to run for extended periods on internal or harvested power. This places low power consumption as one of the top priorities for all parts of the system. This paper describes recent efforts in our group to design, fabricate and test piezoresitive strain gauges for wireless strain sensing applications. Relevant design parameters will be discussed, and the gauge design presented. Strain gauge test results will show the fabricated gauges response to loads on the order of 10 muepsiv, while dissipating only 14 muW of power.","PeriodicalId":225041,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122564309","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}
