The system consists of a number of precision wireless thermometers which are conceived and realized to measure the patients' body temperature in hospitals and the intensive care units (ICUs). Each wireless thermometer incorporates an accurate semiconductor temperature sensor, a transceiver operating at 2.4 GHz and a microcontroller that controls the thermometer functionalities. An array of two thermometers are implemented and successfully evaluated in different scenarios, including free-space and in vivo tests. Also, an in-house developed computer software is used in order to visualize the measurements in addition to detecting rapid increase and alerting high body temperature. The agreement between the experimental data and reference temperature values is significant.","PeriodicalId":378414,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Smart Sensors and Application (ICSSA)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134624826","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}

Since power consumption becomes the highest concern in many devices thus the main focus in this research is to obtain low actuation voltage for RF MEMS switch. The switch simulated in this research was using electrostatic actuation method. COMSOL Multiphysics software been used to simulate the switch. Different designs and parameters such as the air gap, cantilever thickness and Young Modulus value depends on different material have been chosen for analysing the actuation voltage. From the simulation results, analysis been done for the lowest actuation voltage. The designed switched with the lowest spring constant and smaller air gap had obtained 6.89V. Thus, these two main criteria gave the lowest actuation voltage and this result aligns with the physical equation.","PeriodicalId":378414,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Smart Sensors and Application (ICSSA)","volume":"271 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116422233","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}

Studies showed that LED light is such a promising light source after fluorescent light (FL). Light spectrum from LED can be narrowed to enhance growth as well as save time too. This paper reports a new approach on shoot production of in vitro plant growth of Rossa spp. The experiment was carried out by cultured in MS (Murashige and Skoog, 1962) medium supplemented with 3% (w/v) of sucrose, 0.25% Gelritetm (Duchefa), 1.5 mg/L of BAP hormone for growth and 1.0 mg/L of Kinetin, 100mg/L myo-inositol and 100mg/L of Ferrum.

However, the equivalent capacitance (Ceq) of the FET sensor undergoes a slow, monotonic change due to hydration of the insulator layers leading to a threshold voltage drift which ultimately manifest as a drift in the drain current. This paper presents a drift compensation technique for neural recording systems that use open-gate FET sensors by employing feedback to the bulk of the FET. The efficiency of this technique has been validated by simulating a sensor system with practical drift parameters. While the current drift without a feedback was found to be more than 5% of the drain current before hydration, the simulation results show that the current drift is less than 0.042% when there is an active feedback. In general, this technique is applicable to other systems that use open-gate FET based sensors such as the ISFETs.","PeriodicalId":378414,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Smart Sensors and Application (ICSSA)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128277080","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 paper simplifies the existing parameter-transformation presented in the literature, which is used for transforming the denominator-coefficients of the transfer function of a variable-recursive-filter into another set of new parameters. Such a parameter-transformation enables all the new parameters to take arbitrary values while without affecting the stability of the variable-recursive-filter. That is, the variable-recursive-filter is guaranteed to be stable for arbitrary parameter values. Based on this parameter-transformation, we can simplify the variable-recursive-filter design problem subject to stability-guarantee condition (constrained non-linear minimization problem) as an unconstrained non-linear minimization problem, and any non-linear minimization solver can be applied to the design of a stable variable-recursive-filter. Most importantly, when this parameter-transformation is applied to the variable-recursive-filter design where all the filter coefficients are frequently updated, based on the proposed parameter-transformation, each variable-recursive-filter coefficient is represented as a different function of the spectral parameter, the stability of the obtained variable-recursive-filter is theoretically guaranteed.","PeriodicalId":378414,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Smart Sensors and Application (ICSSA)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116069644","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}
