In this study we assess the feasibility of using accelerometer data obtained from a low-power Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) sensor directly placed on the tool, to identify screwdriver tool usage types. We focus on the performance evaluation of several distinct features and machine learning (ML) techniques regarding their accuracy and model size. To establish a comprehensive data set, we first collect data, identify fit-for-purpose usage classes and, subsequently, apply a variety of feature engineering and ML techniques to the established problem. As two distinct usage class groups, we identify, runtime classes (Drilling”, “Screwing” and “Unscrewing”) and the non-runtime classes (“Preparing the Tool “Carrying the Tool “Transportation of the Tool and “No Movement”).The paper proposes two tree-based models Decision Tree Classifier (DTC) and Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM), for which we assess various techniques of automated and handcrafted feature extraction. We design an iterative feature selection method to identify the most important ones from more than 4000 features. Further, we evaluated the neural networks Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN), which process time-series data, and the Minimally Random Convolutional Kernel Transform (MINIROCKET). The experimental evaluation focuses on accuracy and model size.The MINIROCKET is the best-suited model with a balanced accuracy of 94.1% and a model size of 377.5 kB, enabling real-time processing in small micro-controller or even in Bluetooth low energy modules.","PeriodicalId":261827,"journal":{"name":"2023 9th International Workshop on Advances in Sensors and Interfaces (IWASI)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124746798","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 context, the proposed BCI framework aims to realize an integrated system, currently running on the STM32L4 embedded platform (oriented towards headset-level implementation), capable of: (i) analyzing data from 8 dry EEG electrodes, (ii) detecting and correcting spatially uncorrelated deflections in EEG channels caused by external disturbances, and (iii) identifying and fine-tuning hyperparameters of a Fully Connected Neural Network with a user data-driven approach. The implemented embedded system, applied for a feasibility study to a 12-choice P300 speller matrix, demonstrated matrix element recognition accuracy exceeding 80% after only 4 runs, while maintaining an information transfer rate (ITR) of approximately 16 commands per minute under non-optimal usage conditions.","PeriodicalId":261827,"journal":{"name":"2023 9th International Workshop on Advances in Sensors and Interfaces (IWASI)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129845609","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}

However, the design of a suitable detection apparatus represents a technological challenge, mainly because of the unstable nature of the muons. The interaction of the muon decay products with the machine elements, can produce an intense flux of background particles that eventually reach the detector and may degrade its performance. In this contribution, the latest simulation studies performed to optimize the detector design will be presented, together with an overview of the detector technologies that have a potential to match the challenging specifications of a muon collider, with a focus on the ongoing R&D efforts.","PeriodicalId":261827,"journal":{"name":"2023 9th International Workshop on Advances in Sensors and Interfaces (IWASI)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131240940","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 proposed approach overcomes the conventional trade-offs between noise and gain in the design of a TIA with resistive feedback. The proposed architecture makes use of a transconductor in the TIA negative feedback path to achieve impedance multiplication and enable large transimpedance amplification. Moreover, thanks to the dominant pole positioned at the input of the TIA, circuit stability can be disentangled from the gain when different capacitive loads are connected to the input of the circuit. Simulation results reveal that it is possible to design a TIA with programmable transimpedance gain ranging from 5 M$Omega$ (134.1 dB$Omega$) to 5 G$Omega$(194.4 dB$Omega$) and exhibiting a 3dB bandwidth of 1.54 MHz and 23 kHz, respectively when coupled to a current-source with an output capacitance of 20 pF. At the frequency of 20 Hz, the TIA achieves an input referred noise current of 2fA/$sqrt{}$Hz and 20 fA/$sqrt{}$Hz, for the maximum and minimum gain, respectively. Moreover, the programmable TIA is unconditionally stable by design for any input capacitance equal to or larger than 20 pF. The proposed TIA is implemented in a TSMC 65nm CMOS technology node, it requires an area of 0.045 $mu m^{2}$ and consumes 850 $mu$W at a power supply of 1.2 V. Thanks to its high-gain, large bandwidth, low-noise performance and its flexibility with the respect to the input source capacitance value, the proposed solution is best suited for the interfacing highly capacitive sensors or as a versatile first stage for the noise performance characterization of solid-state devices.","PeriodicalId":261827,"journal":{"name":"2023 9th International Workshop on Advances in Sensors and Interfaces (IWASI)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126659615","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}
