Quaternion wavelet (QW) is of some superior properties compared to discrete wavelets, such as nearly shift-invariant wavelet coefficients and phase based texture presentation. So we aim to exploit the excellent performances of speckle reduction in quaternion wavelet domain (QWD) based on the soft thresholding method. The algorithm uses quaternion wavelet transform (QWT) to decompose the ultrasound images, and then apply five typical criterions to set threshold for QW coefficients. Furthermore, we conduct two experiments on a synthetic speckle image and a real ultrasound image. The performance of the proposed speckle reduction algorithm, using QWT with soft thresholding, is demonstrated superior to that using wavelet transform (WT) and classical algorithms.","PeriodicalId":387839,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference Proceedings","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128984067","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}

University of Bergen is responsible for the design and development of the detector layers and readout electronics for the MXGS instrument. The principal objective of the instrument is to detect Terrestrial Gamma ray Flashes (TGFs), which are related to thunderstorm activity. The digital pulse processing scheme used in the MXGS BGO detector gives it a significantly higher rate capability than what has been achieved in other instruments used in the study of terrestrial gamma flashes. The front-end electronics for the BGO detector layer in MXGS system also uses fewer components compared to conventional analog front-ends for BGO detectors, thereby increasing its reliability and projected lifetime in the harsh space environment. The MXGS instrument is expected to see about 1000 TGFs in a time period of one year.","PeriodicalId":387839,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference Proceedings","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122342722","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}

Significant design results include the extension of the useful amplifier bandwidth from a few Hz up to about one hundred Hz with a gain boost from 201 to 1001. With the new approach, a residual offset in the order of a few tens of nV is obtained which allows us to classify the system as a nanovolt amplifier.","PeriodicalId":387839,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference Proceedings","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122362186","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}

For this purpose, high frequency inductive sensors are being used in recent years. In this paper, a fixed post-processing technique for PD pulse waveforms will be used to discriminate between discharges from electrical noise for two inductive sensors: a commercial High Frequency Current Transformer and a newly developed inductive loop sensor. Results will prove that this novel inductive loop sensor is able to discriminate PD from electrical noise for several test objects.","PeriodicalId":387839,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference Proceedings","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132081993","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 universal method to detect remnant particles is particle impact noise detection (PIND). Random vibration can be introduced to the PIND system to improve the detecting performance, and it can also provide acoustic and acceleration signals. In this paper, a new feature extraction method for remnant particles based on Non-negative Tensor Factorization (NTF) is proposed. The proposed method combines different kinds of tested signals, which not only promotes the detection performance but also figures out the material and weight of the remnant particles. We perform a set of experiments.

Sensors such as pressure sensitive mats have been used to monitor symmetry and timing of a sit to stand transfer to establish a mobility trend. In an uncontrolled setting, the timing and symmetry measurements for sit-to-stand transfers may be affected by friends, family and caregivers providing assistance during such transfer. It is of significant importance to differentiate assisted and unassisted transfers in order to accurately establish a mobility trend. This paper will use unobtrusive ultrasound sensors in order to monitor the presence of another person during the sit-to-stand transition. This paper will examine different sensor placements in order to optimize the detection area and minimize the undetected cases. A lab simulation was performed in a controlled setting comparing the different configurations. The optimal solution was verified in a hospital setting to maximize the detection of assisted vs. unassisted transfers. The results show an 86.2% coverage of the hospital room and an 80% successful detection rate of a third party. This allows for detection of assisted sit-to-stand transfer if the third party is present within this coverage area. We also demonstrate how passive infrared sensors (PIR) can be integrated in the proposed system to enhance room entry and exit detection.","PeriodicalId":387839,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference Proceedings","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125339143","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 intended application is occupancy and belt detection in removable vehicle seats. The final aim is to maximize the powering distance and minimize the influence of the metallic structures, which was achieved by using resonant networks and magnetic core materials for the coils. First, a theoretical analysis was carried out in order to identify critical parameters. Then, simulations were performed at a frequency of 130 kHz with three different coil types, two with ferrite-core coils and one with an air-core coil. Numerical results show that ferrite-core coils, in especial that with an ETD-core coil, are less affected by the presence of metallic structures. Finally, both the maximum achieved distance and the effect of a nearby metallic plate were assessed experimentally. Without the metallic plate, the air-core coils provided the maximum powering distance, thanks to its much larger winding diameter. However, with the metallic plate present the transferred power with the air-core coils to the load was insufficient for the intended application. On the other hand, the ferrite-core coils barely noticed the presence of the metallic plate, achieving the ETD-core coils the highest powering distance, around 3 cm.","PeriodicalId":387839,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference Proceedings","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126616006","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 presents design and realization of an intelligent sensor node, which can help to construct energy-aware wireless sensor networks (WSNs). An energy-efficient scheme, which aims at minimizing communication energy of the WSN in two aspects: the node level and the network level, is proposed. To minimize the transmission energy consumption of a sensor node, the distance between the transmitter and the receiver is estimated before available transmission, and then the lowest transmission power needed to transmit the measurement data is calculated and determined. Furthermore, the energy saving can be achieved through estimating the energy consumption within the whole network under different schemes, and then choosing the most energy-efficient one.","PeriodicalId":387839,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference Proceedings","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126617139","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 basic architecture of the vocal analyzer is described, which is based on a sensor that is worn by the person under monitoring. Two alternative sensors are investigated: an accelerometer and an Electret Condenser Microphone (ECM). While the former would be characterized by a low sensitivity with respect to air-borne effects, the latter would provide a larger bandwidth, thus allowing parameters related to the vowel quality to be estimated. Particular attention will be paid towards traceability assurance and uncertainty estimation and a calibration procedure for each of the estimated parameters will be proposed.
