A thermostatic control strategy based on multi-sensor data fusion and fuzzy-PID method is proposed in this paper to improve the accuracy. Firstly, the basic frame of HMP system and the installation of sensors are expounded. Then the data fusion based on modified Bayes estimation is carried out to weaken the possible measurement error, resulting from the sensor faults and noise interference. Specially, the better error-recovery ability is proved in the cascaded Bayes algorithm. Secondly, the fuzzy and the fuzzy-PID (Proportion Integration Differentiation) controller are adopted respectively according to the difference of temperature-deviation. Here the former is designed to offer the control variation of compressor needed while the latter is to gain three control coefficients of PID algorithm. The dynamic and static tests indicate that the thermostatic control result meets the need of patients although it is also affected by some extra factors, such as the external temperature, flow speed of solution and working modes.","PeriodicalId":297617,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"09 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128528441","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}

Inside wireless transceiver, Viterbi decoder (VD) is needed to improve the decoding performance of the transceiver. In this paper, we propose a low complexity Viterbi decoder algorithm for wireless sensors that aim to support Internet of Thing (IoT) applications. Our algorithm is named as K-min Viterbi decoder because only K nodes with minimum distance at each layer of the decoder are selected for processing. To evaluate packet error rate (PER) performance of the algorithm, we develop an 802.11ah simulator that uses 64-state VD. The PER performance of our K-min VD in relation with several factors such as channel type, decoder's trace-back length, and modulation type, has been evaluated. Our analysis shows that the proposed K-min VD achieves the same PER performance as the conventional VD does, while its complexity is smaller by approximately 12.8 times to 21.3 times. Therefore, K-min VD is suitable for IoT wireless sensors which must be small size, low-cost, and low-power consumption.","PeriodicalId":297617,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133707945","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}

This raises an emerging clinical demand for transformative tools/biosensors that can measure the biochemical and biological markers to understand the dynamical response of the patient status in a rapid and accurate manner. Nanoplasmonic biosensors have shown great promise to enable such phenotypic measurements with high precision, sensitivity, specificity and simplicity. In this paper, we present a gold nanorod based opto-microfluidic sensing platform for monitoring functional immune response and their translation in clinical applications towards precision medicine. Specifically, we show a label-free, barcode LSPR nanoplasmonic biosensor for high-throughput, multiplex detection of cytokine biomarkers in a complex serum matrix and patient serum samples. Our strategy of monitoring immune functions using optofluidic nanobiosensors achieved high accuracy and sensitivity with much less sample volume and shorter assay time than that of the conventional methods, which provides new insight into disease severity and therapeutic response and offers great potential in future medical treatment for personalized medicine.","PeriodicalId":297617,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"23 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133719900","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}

Due to simple and rugged low cost construction, Bourdon tube is still used for local pressure monitoring system. The key challenge of this elastic-mechanical pressure sensor is its non electrical output. In this paper, a secondary element, Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) is attached with the C-type Bourdon tube which act as primary sensing element to get electric signal as output. The sealed tip of the Bourdon tube is mechanically coupled with the core of the LVDT. The applied input pressure causes defection of the tip of the Bourdon tube. This deflection is sensed by LVDT and produce electric signal proportional to the applied pressure. The signal after conditioning converted to 4-20mA DC signal for industrial compatibility. This current signals can drive loop powered digital indicator, universal controller and remote telemetry system. This modified pressure measurement system shows the higher accuracy with a dynamic range of 15 psig. The experimental data follows good static characteristics with acceptable linearity and repeatability.","PeriodicalId":297617,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115355584","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}
