Our proposed sensor, called QooPass, measures pressure difference and gradient direction by 25 pressure sensors. For evaluation of potential to measure pressure difference and gradient direction, QooPass was verified in wind tunnel. As a result, our sensor showed similar tendency in all different installing direction. The estimation accuracy was error of 10 degrees. The pressure difference under different wind speeds was able to be detected. Those results were evaluated by observing a change of pressure value. Evaluation showed a potential to measure gradient by our proposed method.","PeriodicalId":344937,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131815965","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}

Therefore, we proposed a method to estimate the degree of interest using the distance between a person and an object. We measured the interest of the subject while changing their distance from the object.

One of the emergent applications of telehealth monitoring is the Internet of medical things (IoMTs). They are used to transfer and monitor medical information in patient-centred systems. Patient's data is very critical, so its secure transmission is of paramount requirement in smart healthcare applications. The current era has witnessed the large-scale usage of cryptographic and biometric systems, and machine learning (ML) approaches for authentication and anomaly detection, respectively, for securing medical systems. In IoMTs, sensor devices have limited power and battery, so to provide a balance between security and resource-efficiency is also an important aspect to consider during deploying IoMT. Therefore, this research aims to present an innovate framework to protect medical information from external threats with the consumption of less possible resources of low-powered medical devices. In this study, the ML-based biometric security framework is proposed in which features are extracted from Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals for the training phase. However, in the testing phase, the user authentication will be verified by utilizing generated unique biometric EIs from the ECG and acquired coefficients from polynomial approximation. The proposed framework has got the scientific as well as economic significance; thus, it could be used for real-time healthcare applications.","PeriodicalId":344937,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"15 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123781256","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 MEMS accelerometer is symmetrically embedded acting as the support of the swing frame to measure the vibration acceleration. The circuit board with perforated processing is directly used as the support of the swing frame. Two wires are used to connect the sensor and the data acquisition system to avoid the interference of cable elasticity on the vibration characteristics of the swing frame. The data obtained from this test system has been processed. The influence of various interference signals in the system on the vibration measurement is identified. Vibration signals generated by imbalances are extracted from complex measurement signals.

Thus, in order to monitor blood glucose level and to prevent life-threatening impact of diabetes, researchers are consistently working on the development of highly sensitive, reliable, rapid and cost-effective electrochemical sensors for glucose detection. In this study, we plan to adopt green chemistry approach to synthesize NiO based composite materials via modified sol gel approach for glucose detection. The crystal structure and surface morphology of the as-synthesized materials were characterized by Powder-X ray diffraction (PXRD), electron microscopy (SEM) and BET surface area analyzer. Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV) methods were employed to investigate the catalytic properties of the fabricated electrode materials for glucose electro-oxidation in alkaline media. The NiO@Si-NPs developed non-enzymatic sensor exhibited excellent performance for glucose sensing with extremely low detection limit (0.08 µM) and an ultrahigh sensitivity of 445 µAm−1cm−2 which could be attributed to the addition of silica nanoparticles on the surface of NiO that offered large surface area for oxidation of glucose. Hence, NiO@SiNps composite electrode materials will serve as a highly promising candidate for the development of efficient electrochemical sensors for reliable glucose detection.","PeriodicalId":344937,"journal":{"name":"2019 13th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129677037","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}
