The Sensor output needs to be made digital, hence the need for a microcontroller and the signal is displayed in a PC as output voltage, sensed parameter, x. A frequency and voltage output are obtained, showing how a small change in differential value of the resistor can bring galloping effect on the signal path. This transducer comprises diodes, resistors, capacitor and 555 Timer, that would produce an analog output, which is then converted to digital by the use of a microcontroller. Thus, at this stage, the output signal would then be interfaced with a GSM/GPRS modem called KLS-RUP-200-Pms3–300 module to be received by cellular mobile phone. The errors and the non-linear path of the transducer response curve are compensated for at the output stage. At various stages, different codes are written for the interfacing process. Analysis of the resulting signal is done using various engineering software such as Matlab, Orcad Pspice, GUI etc. The device also finds applications in areas of liquid level characterization, sensing the bent in a bimetallic strip also detects the expansion and contraction of the muscles. PIC16F877 is used which has the capability of monitoring up to 8 analog channels (from the Sensor/Transducer) simultaneously. All measured data would be serially transferred to a PC via RS232 before sending through the GSM modem. Through experiments, frequency and duty cycle responses are obtained to show that the proposed telecommunication system is robust and reliable.","PeriodicalId":376337,"journal":{"name":"2011 4th International Conference on Mechatronics (ICOM)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127037202","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}

As a result, the focus and effort of researchers is on designing better routing algorithms for a given application and network architecture of interest. Flat-based routing protocols have been found to be less advantageous to clustering routing protocols when their performance are compared in a large-scale wireless sensor network scenario. This is due to the fact that clustering operation reduces the amount of redundant messages that are transmitted all over the network when an event is detected. This paper is an investigation of cluster-based routing protocols for wireless sensor networks.","PeriodicalId":376337,"journal":{"name":"2011 4th International Conference on Mechatronics (ICOM)","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133406606","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}

Often, mass-spring system is used to reduce such vibrations. The mass-spring system can either serve as absorbers or dampers. Usually, such system is tuned to absorb or damp a single frequency of excitation or resonance frequency respectively. However, ability to vary the absorber's natural frequency would allow broadband vibration absorption. In this paper, an Active Mass Damper (AMD) is presented to eliminate broadband vibration. The lowest frequencies are the main interest as they cause larger displacement. The AMD is tuned actively to match the first three resonance frequencies of a three story building model thus making it effective for a broadband vibration control. The tuning of AMD's natural frequency is done using piezoelectric patch that effectively change its stiffness. Simulation studies on the performances of the AMD are shown. The optimal location of the AMD is also identified. The findings of this study shows reduction in all response of the individual floors at the resonance frequencies.","PeriodicalId":376337,"journal":{"name":"2011 4th International Conference on Mechatronics (ICOM)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122223564","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}
