This system contains many signals that are used to control and protect the GT from damage or accidents caused by vibration, speed, and temperature. Moreover, the vibrations of GT at dangerous levels might lead to damages to the system. In this paper, a concerted effort is made to identify the number of the bearing and vibration levels during operations. We designed and compared two types of the Neural Networks (NNs); series and parallel NNs. They are based on the two stages from NN's employed by MATLAB. The results indicated that the parallel NN is better, depending on the time training and the produced error. Moreover, the two stages of NNs can identify the bearing number and vibration situations. The structure of the NNs puts the system in sleep mode until the vibration is in high level, however, sleeping system leads to the reduction of power consumption when designing the hardware system.","PeriodicalId":378414,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Smart Sensors and Application (ICSSA)","volume":"40 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":"133711394","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}

One uses a continuously uncladed multimode optical fiber with uncladded portion equals to the measurement range. The other one uses multimode optical fiber with discretized uncladed portions that equals the measurement range. Differential measurement technique has been adopted to eliminate the environmental affect on the measurand using a reference identical multimode optical fiber for both continuous and discrete sensors. A beam splitter is used to split a laser light emitted from He-Ne laser source to produce two identical beams of rays. These two beams are applied to the sensing fiber and to the reference fiber. The sensing principle is based on the evanescent wave interaction. The output intensity of light through the sensing fiber depends on the change in refractive index due to change in relative length of air and transformer oil in proximity of uncladed portion of the sensors. The outputs light from the sensing and reference fibers are applied to two identical potential divider circuits to convert variation of light intensity in to voltages. The voltages of the potential divider circuits are read by a data acquisition card (DAQ) and analysis is carried out using LabView software. The optical sensor has many advantages which includes low cost and simple design, high sensitivity, light weight, immune to electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference, etc.","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":"131172801","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}

To employ ECIS, the cells need to attach, spread and proliferate on the sensor in the presence of adhesion-promoting protein that mimics the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the cells. For cell attachment, collagen I, Bovine had been used as the coating substrate. In this study, four designs with varying electrode distances had been measured to detect the changes in impedance values of Lung Carcinoma cell lines (A549). The impedance change due to the cell growth and attachment was modeled as an equivalent circuit consisting of resistors and capacitors of both the cell culture media and the cells. The impedance measurements were measured every 8 hours for 120 hours at frequencies of 100Hz to 10MHz using Agilent Precision Impedance Analyzer 4294A. The experimental results have shown that the closest distance of the electrode gave the most optimum impedance value for A549 cancer cell's measurement. The cancer cells were also treated with a chemotherapeutic drug, Taxol and its impedance response was monitored over 5 days. Experimental results show that there is significant reduction in impedance when the cancer cells were exposed to Taxol, indicating that the cells are no longer adherent to the sensor's surface or are dead.","PeriodicalId":378414,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Smart Sensors and Application (ICSSA)","volume":"172 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":"133661664","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}

Several processes which include cleaning, drying, prebaking, laminating, UV exposure and finally post-baking were involved in channel making.

No longer limited to just wearable sensors, embedded environments and 2D camera feed, stereoscopic digital cameras and Infrared imaging has enabled perceivable depth and distance to contribute to geo-location, activity tracking, and automated detection of abnormal events. However, current motion tracking systems have a limited zone of detection and tracking, subjected to environmental lighting, lens occlusion and hardware factors. This study proposes and demonstrates the possibility of complementing these existing sensors with a simple human tracking system that can be used to direct their reorientation in order to maintain the tracked person within their optimal zone of detection. The prototype in this study utilizes an Infrared Camera and an active Infrared marker to track the pan orientation of a person by means of Template Matching - finding a template image match that indicates the angle of marker pan. By knowing the target's angle of pan, a Microsoft Kinect sensor can be autonomously relocated to the front of the person via the shortest path around. This implementation may also be retooled for other systems that have a smaller zone of detection.","PeriodicalId":378414,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Smart Sensors and Application (ICSSA)","volume":"52 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":"123555271","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 proposes a novel selection of hand feature points for pose estimation that improves the pose estimation.
