We focus on systems with rectilinear quantization where only some of the outputs are quantized either by limited sensor precision or data rate constraints and the rest of the output is sent to the controller without quantization. We call these systems partly-quantized feedback systems. Aside from the rectilinear boxes that we know output resides in, we determine moving hyperplanes in output space such that exact value of output has to lie on these planes too. Using the intersection of rectilinear boxes and hyperplanes, we find the best estimate of output to be used in linear feedback controllers and hence we reduce the maximum quantization error and find a smaller invariant region around origin. A simulation of the proposed controller is also presented.","PeriodicalId":6299,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Sensing Technology","volume":"62 1","pages":"278-283"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82092621","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}

Pulse wave velocity (PWV) in the blood vessel is a basic and common parameter in the hemodynamic. Blood pressure (BP) and blood flow wave traveling in arteries are important because the PWV is affected directly by the condition of blood vessels. However, there is no standardized method to measure the PWV and it is difficult to measure. The conventional PWV measurement uses manual calculation of the pulse wave transmission time between coronary arterial proximal and distal points on a strip chart on which the pulse wave and ECG signal are recorded. In this study, a pressure sensor consisting of strain gauges is used to measure the BP of arteries in invasive method and regular ECG electrodes are used to record the ECG signal. The R-peak point of ECG is extracted by using a reference level and time windowing technique and the ascending starting point of BP is determined by using differentiation of the BP signal and time windowing technique. The algorithm proposed in this study, which can measure PWV automatically, shows robust and good results in the extraction of feature points and calculation of PWV.","PeriodicalId":6299,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Sensing Technology","volume":"36 1","pages":"539-542"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86776655","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}

These surface modified ZnO films showed larger sensitivity to H2S gas (100 ppm) than pure ZnO film at 300degC. Nano silver on the surface of the film shifts the reactivity of film from CO to H2S gas.

Modeling the complex trench structure as a multilayer optical film stack with effective medium approximation (EMA) allows the determination of both trench depth and width from Fourier-transfer infrared (FTIR) reflectance spectrum. In this paper an algorithm combining artificial neural networks (ANN) and Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) is proposed to extract the geometric parameters from the measured reflectance data. An initial estimate of the geometric parameters is obtained by the ANN, and then it is used as an input for the LM algorithm which converges to a final solution with a few iterations. The combined algorithm has been implemented on our own experimental platform, and it has been demonstrated to achieve very high accurate results as well as fast enough computation ability.","PeriodicalId":6299,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Sensing Technology","volume":"50 1","pages":"234-237"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90919697","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}

Here, the need for pervasive, reliable and accurate monitoring systems has pushed the research towards the realization of credible deployments able to survive in harsh environments for long time. Design an effective WSN requires a good piece of engineer work, not to mention the research contribution needed to provide a credible deployment. As a matter of fact, to solve our application, we are looking for a monitoring framework scalable, adaptive with respect to topological changes in the network, power-aware in its middleware components and endowed with energy harvesting mechanisms to grant a long lifetime for the network. The paper addresses all main aspects related to the design of a WSN ranging from the -possible- need of an ad-hoc embedded system, to sensing, local and remote transmission, data storage and visualization; particular attention will be devoted to energy harvesting and management aspects at the unit and network level. Two applications, namely monitoring the marine environment and forecasting the collapse of rock faces in mountaineering areas will be the experimental leitmotiv of the presentation.","PeriodicalId":6299,"journal":{"name":"2008 3rd International Conference on Sensing Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86223539","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}
