Multi-component force sensors have infiltrated a wide variety of automation products since the 1970s. However, one seldom finds full-component sensor systems available in the market for cutting force measurement in machine processes. In this paper, a new six-component sensor system with a compact monolithic elastic element (EE) is designed and developed to detect the tangential cutting forces F...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) present design issues and challenges in both hardware and software platform development. This paper presents the implementation of a hardware-dependent component library that extends TinyOS in order to create an abstraction layer on top of a dynamically reconfigurable hardware architecture. Such hardware architecture is based on a SPARC-compliant processor and it...

Sensor data fusion technology is widely employed in fault diagnosis. The information in a sensor data fusion system is characterized by not only fuzziness, but also partial reliability. Uncertain information of sensors, including randomness, fuzziness, etc., has been extensively studied recently. However, the reliability of a sensor is often overlooked or cannot be analyzed adequately. A Z-numb...

This article describes about an instrument and method for aroma based quality detection of Basmati and other aromatic rice varieties. It comprises few modules such as odour delivery module, sniffing module, water bath module and computing module. Odour handling module helps to deliver odour to the sensor array; a sniffing unit comprising a sensor array module that includes a eight number of met...

Wireless Sensor Network, One of the emerging technology that improved the network procedure of information processing and exchanging in today’s era. Network is collection of the sensor node that scattered spatially. Wireless Sensor network is an assortment of self-organized, self-powered, small and economical nodes connected through wireless channels and work collectively as per application req...
