this paper proposes an efficient network architecture to improve energy consumption in wireless sensor networks (wsn). the proposed architecture uses a mobile data collector to a partitioned network. the mobile data collector moves to center of each logical partition after each decision period. the mobile data collector must declare its new location by packet broadcasting to all sensor nodes. h...

Gradient-descent algorithms have been successfully applied to many applications of computer vision, such as stereo matching, object recognition and medical image registration. Our work focuses on applying these techniques to remote sensing image data with a particular emphasis on data acquired under different conditions, such as multi-temporal or multi-sensor data. While most previous work has ...

Accurate mover position is vital for a permanent magnet tubular linear motor (PMTLM) control system. In this paper, two linear Hall sensors are utilized to detect the mover position. However, Hall sensor signals contain third-order harmonics, creating errors in mover position detection. To filter out the third-order harmonics, a signal processing method based on the extended Kalman filter (EKF)...

A concern with the isolation transformer in a dual active bridge (DAB) dc–dc converter is dc bias magnetization. This article proposes fluxgate-based current sensor to measure component mixed large, high-frequency ac current. Compared commercial Hall effect sensor, proposed significantly reduces measurement error. presents working principle and design considerations. prototype demonstrated for ...

Component-based architectures are the traditional approach to reconcile application specific optimization with reusable abstractions in sensor networks. However, they frequently overwhelm the application designer with the range of choices in component selection and composition. We introduce a component framework that reduces this complexity. It provides a well-defined content-based publish/subs...

The application of a waveguide-ring resonator based on dielectric-loaded surface plasmon-polariton waveguides as a temperature sensor is demonstrated in this paper and the influence of temperature change to the transmission through the waveguide-ring resonator system is comprehensively analyzed. The results show that the roundtrip phase change in the ring resonator due to the temperature change...

We address the sensitive detection and discrimination of gases impacting the environment, such as CH₄, NH₃, SO₂, and CO, using a sensor array and aided by principal component analysis (PCA). A 32-element chemiresistive sensor array consisting of nine different sensor materials including seven types of modified single-walled carbon nanotubes and two types of polymers has been constructed. PCA re...

We describe an automated scene modeling system that consists of two components operating in an interleaved fashion: an incremental modeler that builds solid models from range imagery, and a sensor planner that analyzes the resulting model and computes the next sensor position. This planning component is target-driven and computes sensor positions using model information about the imaged surface...

Based on the piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric quartz crystal, a two-dimensional force sensor with good dynamic characteristics is designed, whose sensitive component is single-cut piezoelectric quartz wafers, and it realizes the measurement of force by measuring the charge which is generated by piezoelectric quartz crystal. This paper analyzes measurement principle of the sensor based on t...

The sensor network is a network technique for the implementation of Ubiquitous computing environment. It is wireless network environment that consists of the many sensors of lightweight and low-power. Though sensor network provides various capabilities, it is unable to ensure the secure authentication between nodes. Eventually it causes the losing reliability of the entire network and many secu...
