This research extend the INTERACTION project by developing an Arm Usage Coach (AUC), which stimulates the patients affected arm to be used more often at home. The results of a usability evaluation showed high scores in usability, but some design and wear ability problems were found. An open loop evaluation of Stroke patient data showed how different decision criteria parameters, for applying feedback to the patient, resulted in different outcomes of feedback given.

Manyam","doi":"10.1109/ICSENST.2015.7438408","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICSENST.2015.7438408","url":null,"abstract":"Ball nose milling is most commonly used in computer-controlled sculpture surface machining using computer numerical control (CNC) machines. Tool condition monitoring (TCM) for the ball nose milling by CNC machines will significantly improve machining efficiency, minimize inaccuracy, minimize machine down time, and maximize tool life utilization. Central to TCM is tool wear monitoring, and wear monitoring of ball nose milling poses new challenges compared with the conventional machining. This paper presents a model-based approach to estimate and track the tool wear profile along the cutting edge for ball nose milling based on the cutting force against it. The model-based approach uses a geometric model and a cutting force model to characterize the ball nose milling process and estimate the tool wear profile. The geometric model is used to determine the geometric features, such as the chip load along the cutting edge, and friction length for given tool path direction and the cutting parameters. The mechanistic cutting force model is developed using the chip load about the cutter rotation axis and the cutting coefficients. The chip load is derived from the geometric model, while the cutting coefficients are determined using the chip load and experimentally measured cutting force when machining on an inclined plane. To verify the proposed tool wear estimation models, experiments were conducted on a hemispherical work piece with different sequence of cutter path directions to simulate variable contact between the ball nose cutter and the work piece surface as encountered in sculptured machining. The tool wear profile was measured and compared with the estimated tool wear profiles from the models. Two variations of the model-based approaches are also compared with the proposed approach for tool wear profile estimation and the best and robust match has been observed for the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":375376,"journal":{"name":"2015 9th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115719251","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 standard lithographic procedure, the sensors are fabricated applying different photoresist materials that give rise to the variable characteristic profile of the fabricated product. Single crystal p-doped Silicon wafer was used as a substrate material due to its advantageous properties over Germanium. Heidelberg system was used for the maskless lithographic patterning of the new interdigital sensors on a silicon substrate. The process was carried out in a clean room in the absence of ultraviolet light at a fixed temperature. The fabricated sensors were used for inflammable gas sensing application. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy was applied to read the resistive and capacitive impedance measured by the sensor. The results proclaimed that the fabricated sensors own better performance in LPG detection as compared to its commercial counterparts.","PeriodicalId":375376,"journal":{"name":"2015 9th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"296 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116874581","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 usage of LED sources for optical absorption spectroscopy, such systems have a high potential to replace commonly used electrochemical sensors, even in low-cost applications. Depending on the gases, they can provide higher sensitivity, selectivity and dynamical response. Background of this paper is the optical gas concentration measurement by usage of LEDs, which are matching the specific absorption lines of different gases. The paper describes in detail a laboratory device, developed for high precision, multispectral (up to 8 wavelengths), referenced (20-bit, two-channel simultaneous sampling) measurement system with temperature stabilized LED sources. While the described system was developed for laboratory purposes with high precision and flexibility in mind, the key components (ADC/LED-Driver) are very low-cost and the system could also be driven by a simple microcontroller.","PeriodicalId":375376,"journal":{"name":"2015 9th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126186711","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 will result in small-size, low-power wearable devices that are not obtrusive to the users and yet provide sufficiently accurate pedestrian localization and tracking within. At this stage, most of the recent INS-based indoor pedestrian positioning systems still have to interface with other computing machines such as a laptop or smartphone to perform computationally demanding algorithms. Most of the existing techniques operate in off-line and not real-time mode. In this paper, we propose a real-time indoor pedestrian dead-reckoning system based on embedded INS. The results show that our system successfully track the distance travelled by pedestrians up to an error of three percent with a position update interval less than a second.","PeriodicalId":375376,"journal":{"name":"2015 9th International Conference on Sensing Technology (ICST)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123504858","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}

When the “acceptance” is passed through the coil, the output voltage e8 in the figure-eight coil equals zero. It is judged as an acceptance certainly.
