There exist applications that require position measurements between two moving targets. The focus of this work is to explore the viability of using clusters of COTS GPS receivers for relative position measurements to improve their accuracy. An experimental study was performed using two clusters, each with five GPS receivers, with a fixed distance of 4.5 m between the clusters. Although the relative position was fixed, the entire system of ten GPS receivers was on a mobile platform. An expensive RTK GPS system, accurate to the centimeter level, was also fixed to the mobile platform and used for comparison. Data was recorded while moving the system over a rectangular track with a perimeter distance of 7564 m. The cluster data was post processed and yielded approximately one meter accuracy for the relative position vector between the two clusters. Furthermore, the 2σ and RMS values were decreased by approximately 13 fold from a worst case scenario.","PeriodicalId":309610,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium Proceedings","volume":"1265 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133842086","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}

Engine instrumentation and monitoring requires a number of different sensors, including temperature, pressure, RPM, and vibration.

The required area to micromachine the air pit for the μHP of a single sensor is several times more than the actual area required by the sensor itself. The feasibility of implementing low power and ultra dense gaseous sensor array is investigated by developing a new μHP structure using recessed silica aerogel. In comparison with the conventional μHP structure, the recessed aerogel not only has decreased the utilized area of the chip almost ten folds (181 × 181 μm2 vs. 573 × 573 μm2) to maintain a temperature of 360 °C but also has decreased the power consumed by each μHP more than two folds (1 mW vs. 2:1 mW). As the number of sensors increases in a sensor array, the saved area of the chip increases quadratic by using the new structure. Moreover, the power consumed by the new designed structure reduces drastically.","PeriodicalId":309610,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium Proceedings","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134007913","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}

By employing the concepts of Compressive Sensing (CS) theory it is possible to reconstruct a sparse signal with a certain number of random linear measurements, which is much less than the number of measurements necessary in conventional signal reconstruction techniques. In this study, we built an energy dissipation model to quantitatively compare the energy dissipation characteristics of CS and conventional signal processing techniques. This model is used to construct a Linear Programming (LP) framework that jointly captures the energy costs for computing and communication both for CS based techniques and conventional techniques. It is observed that CS prolongs the network lifetime for sparse signals.","PeriodicalId":309610,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium Proceedings","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122419346","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, limited power storage, which requires battery replacement, remains a major technical challenge that hinders the deployment of wireless sensor networks, despite the many advantages of using them for structure monitoring. Thus it is very attractive for wireless sensor nodes to be able to harvest energy from the ambient environment to provide power for the sensing, processing, and communications operations. In the paper, we studied the ambient energy harvesting problem of wireless sensors for bridge monitoring and how to achieve complete self-sustainability. The available energy resources were investigated for the bridge monitoring application. A wireless sensor system was implemented and test results on its energy consumption profiles were provided. With careful budgeting it is feasible to achieve complete self-sustainability for some applications with ambient energy harvesting.","PeriodicalId":309610,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium Proceedings","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117003676","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 re-designed sensor head detects electromagnetic changes caused by the presence of ferromagnetic tags attached to target pathological and bioterrorism agents (zoonotic microorganisms) both in liquid or gaseous specimens. The system circuits then transform the measured magnetic effects into digital data used to count the number and type of organisms present. The advanced one piece wiring inductor in the conical shape acts as the sensor head. Most important is that the wire geometry achieves ultra-uniformity of the magnetic field magnitude, which ensures a high level of the system accuracy since the randomly located particles will produce nearly the same magnetic flux change over the surface of the sample container. A 3D model is used to simulate organisms tagged with iron nanoparticles being sensed in the system, and the results indicate a maximum difference in effect of 7% when a single biological is moved to various locations across the sensing container surface.","PeriodicalId":309610,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium Proceedings","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124275840","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}
