We have proposed and demonstrated a novel remotely powered sensor network over the existing CATV infrastructure composed of coaxial cables, splitters and so on. The proposed sensor network has been implemented by using the wasted bandwidth of the coaxial cable (VHF and UHF bands) of the conventional CATV network without any change of the existing infrastructure. Furthermore, it supports a convenient remote power feeding from a central node to end nodes (sensor nodes) by using coaxial cable. We have developed transceiver for the wired sensor network matched the characteristics impedance of the coaxial cable of the CATV network. We also have developed protocol stack of the transceiver to interface with wired cable instead of air and to support the remote power feeding to the end nodes. We have confirmed the performance of the proposed sensor network by measuring the packet error rate (PER) for various data rates when the end nodes were remotely powered. The maximum transmission distance between the central node and the end node of the wired CATV network was about 265 m when the 128 sensor nodes were joined the network at the operating data rate of 250 kb/s.","PeriodicalId":236486,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics -Berlin (ICCE-Berlin)","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123559191","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 movie content is described at different levels of details. To some extent, summary and skimming features are both embodied in this tool. Adding audio samples to accompany key frames significantly increases effectiveness of this tool.

The previous noise reduction approaches assumed that the noise sources are stationary. However, in real environments PPG signals often get corrupted by nonstationary movement noise. To reduce such noise, we propose to estimate the desired signal from corrupted signals by using a particle filter. In computer experiments using real PPG signals acquired from a wristwatch-type PPG array sensor, the proposed algorithm is shown to effectively reduce the movement noise and improve emotion recognition accuracy absolutely by 12.7 % and 10.9 % in the situations where users move arms and walk on a road, respectively, compared with the conventional normalized least-mean-square (NLMS)-based algorithm. The output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is also improved by 4.5 dB on average in the same situations.","PeriodicalId":236486,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics -Berlin (ICCE-Berlin)","volume":"214 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132195156","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}
