Both TiO2 and Au-TiO2 based gas sensors were exposed to low concentrations of CO gas in synthetic air at a temperature range between 230degC and 320degC and their electrical conductivity were measured. It has been observed that the device sensitivity is much greater for the Au-TiO2 based gas sensor. The response time of the sensor is shorter than that of commercial conductometric CO sensors.","PeriodicalId":233838,"journal":{"name":"2006 5th IEEE Conference on Sensors","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131266797","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 spite of the fact that the realization of robots with high cognitive capabilities that understand natural instructions as humans is quite difficult, there is a high potential for introducing voice interfaces for most of the existing robotic systems. Although there have been some interesting work in this domain, usually the scope and the efficiency of natural language controlled robots are limited due to constraints in the number of built in commands, the amount of information contained in a command, the reuse of excessive commands, etc. We present a multimodal interface for a robotic manipulator, which can learn both from human user voice instructions and vision input to overcome some of these drawbacks.

The WRNs act as IEEE 802.11 b/g. The application network uses the same radio channel as the relay network. This paper describes the experiments and simulations of the wireless sensor system. We propose that IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.11 b/g use the same channel in the 2.4 GHz band, and then propose controlling traffic of IEEE 802.11b/g and adjusting IEEE 802.11 b/g MAC protocol in order to prevent interchannel interference between IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.11 b/g.
