To counter such errors, numerous software-implemented techniques have been proposed to detect either one of them. However, there exist few techniques that are designed to detect both types of errors. This paper aims to fill that gap by proposing a software-implemented technique that has been designed to detect both data flow and control flow errors, called Data and Control Flow Error Detection (DCFED). We verified the technique using a fault injection campaign and compared the measured results to those of a similar technique, called Software Implemented Error Detection (SIED). The results show that DCFED achieves a higher error detection ratio.","PeriodicalId":306452,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE XXVIII International Scientific Conference Electronics (ET)","volume":"359 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114706094","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 not only leads to physical and mental burden for the elderly residents, but also to an increased workload for care personnel. In order to lower this imposed workload, numerous technologies exist to support incontinence care. These systems, however, are expensive for the nursing homes and inconvenient for the residents. To solve these problems, we propose a new sensor system now attached to the bed that is able to monitor and detect incontinence events. Using Bluetooth Low Energy and the time-based database InfluxDB a prototype was built. The sensor data can be stored in real-time and can be made available to other systems for further processing. In future systems, security measures can be added, and energy measurements can be done to make the system fully portable.","PeriodicalId":306452,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE XXVIII International Scientific Conference Electronics (ET)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128245162","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}
