The idea of this project comes into the picture from various uses of sensors that are present in our surroundings. So, we can actually play with them by using two or more sensor mechanisms that end up as new inventions. Therefore, we are keen to look forward to one of the highly scoped and well-furnished sensors i.e., Gyroscope Sensor with an element of Light Sensor. This sensor is capable of measuring the orientation of the body and the angular velocity of the object. In our android project, we embedded the flashlight feature in the Gyro sensor’s angle alteration logic. This mechanism successfully leads to the flashlight of the camera getting ON & OFF when the device is tilted or shifted along the reference angle. This collaboration of sensors plays an important role for a device that does not have that feature.

The development of sensors for water quality monitoring is crucial to protect water quality, aquatic biota and human health. Traditional sensor manufacturing methods have significant drawbacks, such as low fabrication freedom, limited material choice and expensive manufacturing cost. As a possible alternative method, 3D printing technologies are increasingly popular in sensor development due to their high versatility, fast fabrication/modification, powerful processing of different materials and ease of incorporation with other sensor systems. Surprisingly, a systematic review examining the application of 3D printing technology in water monitoring sensors has not yet been conducted. Here, we summarized the development history, market share and advantages/disadvantages of typical 3D printing techniques. Specifically focused on the 3D-printed sensor for water quality monitoring, we then reviewed the applications of 3D printing in the development of sensors’ supporting platform, cell, sensing electrode as well as all-3D-printed sensors. The fabrication materials and processing, and the sensor’s performances regarding detected parameters, response time and detection limit/sensitivity, were also compared and analyzed. Finally, the current drawbacks of 3D-printed water sensors and potential directions for future study were discussed. This review will substantially promote the understanding of 3D printing technology used in water sensor development and benefit the protection of water resources.

Surface thermistors are being currently used in patient monitoring, including temperature monitoring among neonates. However, these thermistors are reported as being mechanically rigid. This review article aims to provide researchers with a guide to better design a flexible neonatal temperature monitoring sensor. A literature search was conducted to obtain available literature on temperature sensors with specific attention to designing flexible temperature sensors. The achievement of a flexible type thermistor for neonates requires a basic understanding of the thermistor. Also, the conducting polymer material being used and the rationale for their placement. The updated technology in thermistors should be made flexible for the ease of neonates during monitoring. Careful considerations for the design and conduct of flexible temperature sensor research as outlined in this review would help to enhance the quality and comparability of future research studies. Considerations for efficient neonatal temperature monitoring and protection include accuracy, sensor's size, weight, material, and sensor placement. Flexible sensors could be the alternative to conventional bulky and stiff temperature sensors.

Full textAbstract:
The development of vehicle tracking using sensor fusion is presented in this paper. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are becoming more popular in recent years. These systems use sensor information for real-time control. To improve the standard and robustness, especially in the presence of environmental noises like varying lighting, weather conditions, and fusion of sensors has been the center of attention in recent studies. Faced with complex traffic conditions, the single sensor has been unable to meet the security requirements of ADAS and autonomous driving. The common environment perception sensors consist of radar, camera, and lidar which have both pros and cons. The sensor fusion is a necessary technology for autonomous driving which provides a better vision and understanding of vehicles surrounding. We mainly focus on highway scenarios that enable an autonomous car to comfortably follow other cars at various speeds while keeping a secure distance and mix the advantages of both sensors with a sensor fusion approach. The radar and vision sensor information are fused to produce robust and accurate measurements. And the experimental results indicate that the comparison of using only radar sensors and sensor fusion of both camera and radar sensors is presented in this paper. The algorithm is described along with simulation results by using MATLAB.

We have developed a novel fiber-optic vibration sensors and applied commercially available strain and temperature sensors to health monitoring of composite structures. In this study, we constructed an optical fiber network integrating four types of optical fiber sensor into a carbon reinforced plastic (CFRP) panel. These four sensors were the vibration sensor developed by our laboratory, two distributed sensors based on Brillouin and Raman backscattering and Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors. By dealing the data obtained from the measurement systems corresponding to these four sensors, strain/stress and temperature distributions throughout the panel can be monitored. Vibration and elastic waves transmitting on the panel are also detected at several sensing points. Furthermore, we will be able to determine damage locations and modes by processing the wave signals. To make the panel with the optical fiber sensor network more sensitive and smarter, we are developing some techniques that can improve the performance of the sensors and can assess the structural integrity by analyzing measurement results. In this paper, the development of the first generation of our smart composite panel with the optical fiber sensors is described and the techniques making the panel more sensitive and smarter are also described.

Structural vibration testing is an effective guarantee for the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of large-scale civil engineering. Traditional vibration testing has drawbacks such as difficulties in wiring and picking up low-frequency signals, low communication speed, and susceptibility to testing site conditions. In order to improve the universality of wireless vibration sensors, this article develops a wireless vibration sensor, introduces the module composition and basic principles of the sensor, and conducts standard vibration table performance comparison tests between wired acceleration sensors and wireless vibration sensors, verifying the accuracy of wireless vibration sensors. In order to further explore the feasibility of wireless vibration sensor applications, the wired acceleration sensor and wireless vibration sensor were used to analyze the structural dynamic characteristics of the four-layer steel frame structure model in the laboratory, and the comparison was made based on ABAQUS finite element simulation. Finally, the field vibration test was carried out outdoors. The results show that the natural frequency identification results of the wireless vibration sensor and the wired acceleration sensor for the four-story steel frame structure through fast Fourier transform, short-time Fourier transform, and wavelet transform are basically the same, the half-power bandwidth method and logarithmic decrement rate method are used to identify the damping, and wavelet transform is used to identify the vibration mode with minimal error and high accuracy. It shows that the wireless vibration sensor is feasible in practical engineering, has stable and reliable transmission capacity, and can provide certain reference values for earthquake monitoring, building Structural Health Monitoring, etc.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents the development and signal analysis of surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based sensors in D-shaped polymer optical fibers (POFs). A gold-palladium (Au-Pd) coating was applied to the D-shaped region to obtain the SPR signal in the transmitted spectrum of the POFs, where different samples were fabricated using the same methods and parameters. In this case, the transmitted spectra of three sets of samples were compared, which indicated variations in the SPR signature that can influence the sensors’ application and reproducibility. Then, the intensity of and wavelength shift in the SPR signals were analyzed as a function of the refractive index variation, where it was possible to observe differences in the sensors’ sensitivities and the linearity of the different samples. In this regard, additional features, namely the area below the curve and the peak amplitude of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) applied to the transmitted spectra, were used to enhance the sensors’ accuracy and precision. To verify the use of such additional features in the sensor analysis, an unsupervised approach based on k-means clustering was used considering a single dataset with the results of all the sensors. The results showed clustering with the number of different refractive indices tested, which motivated the use of these features (intensity, wavelength, area and FFT amplitude) in the refractive index assessment. In this context, random forest was the supervised algorithm with the smallest root mean squared error (RMSE) among the algorithms tested, where an RMSE of 0.0057 was obtained considering all the datasets. For the analysis of each sensor (considering the three sets of sensor samples), the mean RMSE using random forest applied to the multifeature approach returned relative errors below 9%, considering the entire tested range of refractive index variation.

The proposed system allows you to control the parameters of the house using a remote control system. Changes in temperature and humidity in the house are monitored by telephone. The entire lighting system of the house is controlled. If a gas leak or fire occurs in the house, an alarm is triggered and a notification is sent to the phone. If there is unauthorized access to the house, this is detected by a motion sensor and a notification is sent to the phone. Changes in the apartment, which is "under the control" of the system, can be monitored and managed in the "Serial Monitor" section. Selected optical sensors are sensors that capture an optical image and work by analyzing the darkest and brightest parts of the image using algorithms. The level of security increases depending on the sensor's sensing element, so the higher the sensor's resolution, the better the image details. The ultrasonic signal is transmitted to the finger located on the scanner. Due to the presence of pores and other details that are characteristic of each fingerprint, part of this signal is absorbed, and part is returned to the sensor. As a result, the sensor can recognize fingerprints. Password authorization. A password based door lock system is an access control system that allows only authorized persons to enter a restricted area. When an authorized person enters the user ID and password from the keyboard, the door opens and after a few minutes the door closes again. If the code is entered incorrectly three times in a row, the code lock will go into blocking mode.

Many studies have been conducted to develop electronic skin (e-skin) and flexible wearable textiles which transform into actual “skin”, using different approaches. Moreover, many reports have investigated self-healing materials, multifunctional sensors, etc. This study presents a systematic approach to embroidery pressure sensors dependent on interdigitated capacitors (IDCs), for applications surrounding intelligent wearable devices, robots, and e-skins. The method proposed a broad range of highly sensitive pressure sensors based on porous Ecoflex, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and interdigitated electrodes. Firstly, characterizations of ICDs embroidering on a cotton fabric using silver conductive thread are evaluated by a precision LCR meter throughout the frequency range from 1 kHz to 300 kHz. The effect of thread density on the performance of embroidered sensors is included. Secondly, the 16451B dielectric test fixture from Keysight is utilized to evaluate the composite samples’ dielectric constant accurately. The effect of frequency on sensor performance was evaluated to consider the influence of the dielectric constant as a function of the capacitance change. This study shows that the lower the frequency, the higher the sensitivity, but at the same time, it also leads to instability in the sensor’s operation. Thirdly, assessing the volume fraction of CNTs on composites’ properties is enclosed. The presence of volume portion CNTs upgrades the bond strength of composites and further develops sensor deformability. Finally, the presented sensor can accomplish excellent performance with an ultra-high sensitivity of 0.24 kPa−1 in low pressure (<25 kPa) as well as a wide detection range from 1 to 1000 kPa, which is appropriate for general tactile pressure rages. In order to achieve high sensor performance, factors such as density, frequency, fabric substrate, and the structure of the dielectric layer need to be carefully evaluated.

The paper proposes an adaptive fusion algorithm using competitiveness sensors for fire detection module, and uses computer simulation results to select the optimal weight values for each optic-sensor. Then we design the fire detection module using the tuned weight values of optic-sensors. The competitiveness flame sensor type is ultra-violet sensor (R2868). The controller of the module is HOLTEK microchip, and acquires the detection signals from the optic-sensors through I/O pins, and transmits the detection signals of all sensors to the computer via wire series interface. The adaptive fusion algorithm can tunes weight values according to decision output of the fusion center. The fusion algorithms of the fusion center use Bayesian estimated method to decide the fire event to be true or not. We set the improved weight values in the module for each optic-sensor. From the simulation and experimental implementation results, it demonstrates that the proposed algorithms can compute the adequate weight values.

HighlightsUsing leaching fraction to schedule irrigation is recommended yet no automated measurement system exists.Sensors were developed to automatically measure leachate and irrigation within a sensor network.There was no difference between sensor measured and manually captured volume for sensors deployed in a nursery.After deployment in commercial nurseries, sensors accurately measured leachate and irrigation within 10% margin.Abstract. Nursery crops are often over-irrigated, resulting in wasted water and agrochemical inputs. Irrigating based on leaching fraction is recommended, yet an automated system for measuring and recording nursery container effluent (leachate) does not exist. The objective of this research was to develop and test a sensor-based system for real-time leachate and irrigation measurement in outdoor commercial nurseries. Sensors were developed to automatically measure irrigation and leachate volume in container nurseries that use overhead irrigation with the goal of facilitating the development of an automated leaching fraction-based irrigation system. Sensors were built using readily available components, including tipping bucket mechanisms calibrated to either 4.7 or 8.2 mL per tip, and were designed and constructed to function with commonly used 3.8-, 11.4-, and 14.5-L nursery containers. Sensor networks were developed in order to collect data from the sensors. Sensors were deployed at three commercial nurseries and tested using closed- and open-loop tests. Initially, a closed-loop test was performed on a subset of the sensors to test the integrity of the sensor-container system when subjected to an overhead irrigation delivery system. Following closed-loop tests, sensors were subjected to tests utilizing directed applications of water to compare sensor measurements with the volume of water applied and to compare sensor measurements over time (pre- and post-season). There was no difference between leachate measured by sensors and leachate captured and measured manually in closed-loop tests (p = 0.0570). In directed applications, sensors measured water flow with less than 3% margin at the beginning of the season (p = 0.0485) and less than 10% margin at the end of the season (p = 0.0390) regardless of container size. Pre- and post-season comparisons showed equivalence at the 10% margin for the 4.7-mL tipping bucket size (p = 0.0043) and at 5% for those calibrated to 8.2 mL per tip (p = 0.0198). Sensors deployed in commercial nurseries accurately measured leachate and irrigation within a 10% margin in real-time, on an individual plant scale, making them a viable option for a leaching fraction-based irrigation schedule.

The objective of SHM is to detect, localize, identify and predict development of fatigue fractures, increasing safety and reliability. This paper presents an assessment of sensor technologies used in aircraft SHM system. Due to the fact that most of these measurement methods are relatively new and still under development the present appraisal focuses on a number of parameters with reference to each method, including a sensor’s installation issues, reliability, power consumption, sensor infrastructure, sensitivity and cost and availability. The work is predominantly focused on the assessment ofpermanently bonded sensors, such as foil strain gages, Comparative Vacuum Monitoring (CVM), Piezo sensors (PZT), Eddy-Current Transducers (ECT). Finally, all these methods are briefly discussed.

Starting from the issues of the MEMS fabrication, we introduced typical MEMS sensors for their applications in the Internet of Things (IoTs), such as MEMS physical sensor, MEMS acoustic sensor, and MEMS gas sensor. Toward the trends in intelligence and less power consumption, MEMS components including MEMS/NEMS switch, piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducer (PMUT), and MEMS energy harvesting were investigated to assist the future sensors, such as event-based or almost zero-power. Furthermore, MEMS rigid substrate toward NEMS flexible-based for flexibility and interface was discussed as another important development trend for next-generation wearable or multi-functional sensors. Around the issues about the big data and human-machine realization for human beings’ manipulation, artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) technologies were finally realized using sensor nodes and its wave identification as future trends for various scenarios.

Abstract. “Industrie 4.0” or the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are two terms for the current (r)evolution seen in industrial automation and control. Everything is getting smarter and data generated at all levels of the production process are used to improve product quality, flexibility, and productivity. This would not be possible without smart sensors, which generate the data and allow further functionality from self-monitoring and self-configuration to condition monitoring of complex processes. In analogy to Industry 4.0, the development of sensors has undergone distinctive stages culminating in today's smart sensors or “Sensor 4.0”. This paper briefly reviews the development of sensor technology over the last 2 centuries, highlights some of the potential that can be achieved with smart sensors and data evaluation, and discusses success requirements for future developments. In addition to magnetic sensor technologies which allow self-test and self-calibration and can contribute to many applications due to their wide spectrum of measured quantities, the paper discusses condition monitoring as a primary paradigm for introducing smart sensors and data analysis in manufacturing processes based on two projects performed in our group.

Sensors provide aninterface between mechanical systems and the physical world. With the move towardsIndustry 4.0 and cyber-physical systems, demands for cost-effective sensors are rapidly increasing. Conventional sensors used for monitoring manufacturing processes are often bulky and need complex processes. In this study, a novel high-sensitive nanocomposite-based sensor is developed for measuring strain. The developed sensor is comprised of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as a piezoelectric polymer matrix, and embedded carbon nanotube (CNT) nanoparticles creating a conductive network. Exhibiting both piezoelectric and piezoresistive properties, the developed sensors are capable of strain measurement over a wide frequency band, including static and dynamic measurements. The piezoresistive and piezoelectric properties are fused to improve the overall sensitivity and frequency bandwidth of the sensor. To simulate the sensor, a 3D random walk model and a 2D finite element (FE) model are used to predict the electrical resistivity and the piezoelectric characteristics of the sensor, respectively. The developed models are verified with the experimental results. The developed nanocomposite sensors were employed for strain measurement of a cantilever beam under static load, impulse excitation, free and forced vibrations, collecting both piezoelectric and piezoresistive properties measurements. The obtained signals were fused and compared with those of a reference sensor. The results show that the sensor is capable of strain measurement in the range of 0–10 kHz, indicating its effectiveness at measuring both static and high frequency signals which is an important feature of the sensor.

Trends in the development of modern sensory devices based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) are considered. The basic principles of construction of SPR sensor are given. For excitation of surface plasmons on the surface of sensitive elements of biosensory, a prism of total internal reflection is used or a dielectric substrate are used. A thin (dozens nm) film of high-conductive metal (mainly gold or silver) is applied to the working surface of the prisms or dielectric substrate. In a typical observation experiment, SPR is measured dependence on the angle of increasing light intensity, reflected by the resonance sensitive surface of the prism (chip). The optical schemes and principles of work of various SPR sensors are considered: - SPR Sensors with angular modulation, which are the most commonly used method based on the corner registration, in which the SPR occurs. The surface of the metal film is irradiated by monochromatic light and scans on a certain range of angles. There is a kind of SPR sensors with angular modulation, in which there is no mechanical scan of the angle of fall. Such sensors are entirely necessary for excitation of PPRs a set of angles is obtained due to a divergent or convergent light beam. - PPR sensors with a wavelength modulation is based on fixing an angle of falling light at a certain value and modulation of the wavelength of the incident light. Excitation of surface plasmons leads to a characteristic failure in the spectrum of reflected radiation. - Phase sensitive SPR sensors in which a change in the phase of the light wave associated with the surface plasma is measured on one corner of the fall and the wavelength of the light wave and is used as the output signal. - SPR imaging sensors in which the Technology of SPR imaging (SPRi) combines the sensitivity of the SPR with spatial image capabilities. The SPRI circuit uses as a fixed angle (as a rule, a slightly left angle of the SPR) and a fixed wavelength to measure changes in the reflection ability (Δ% R) that occur when the curve of the SPR is shifted due to the change in the refractive index above the surface of the sensor element. - SPR imaging sensors polarization contrast. In order to improve the quality of high-performance SPR imaging sensors in terms of sensitivity and resolution, the method of polarization contrast is used Disadvantages and advantages of SPR sensors are constructed with different principles are considered. The design and prospect of the use of achromatic and suburchast wave plates in the PPR imaging sensors with polarization contrast are considered.

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to determine the contamination level in natural water resources because the tremendous development in the agriculture sector has increased the amount of contamination in natural water sources. Hence, the water is polluted and unsafe to drink. Design/methodology/approach – Three types of sensor arrays were suggested: parallel, star and delta. The simulation of all types of sensor array was carried out to calculate the sensors’ impedance value, capacitance and inductance during their operation to determine the best sensor array. The contamination state was simulated by altering the electrical properties values of the environmental domain of the model to represent water contamination. Findings – The simulation results show that all types of sensor array are sensitive to conductivity, σ, and permittivity, ɛ (i.e. contaminated water). Furthermore, a set of experiments was conducted to determine the relationship between the sensor’s impedance and the water’s nitrate and sulphate contamination. The performance of the system was observed where the sensors were tested, with the addition of distilled water with different concentrations of potassium nitrate and potassium sulphate. The sensitivity of the developed sensors was evaluated and the best sensor was selected. Practical implications – Based on the outcomes of the experiments, the star sensor array has the highest sensitivity and can be used to measure nitrate and sulphate contaminations in water. Originality/value – The star sensor array presented in this paper has the potential to be used as a useful low-cost tool for water source monitoring.

Full textAbstract:
To reduce the rate of defective products and ensure the health of employees, it has become increasingly necessary to improve air quality in factories. To do so, it is important to accurately determine the air quality in the factory first. However, currently available industry-grade sensors require complex and often separate construction processes, making them difficult to use in complicated industrial sites. In order to solve such an issue, this study developed an IoT-based sensor that can collect data such as factory temperature, humidity, CO2 levels, dust, and stench. This study has also developed software to manage the IoT-based sensors, which can transmit the data via RF communication. Sensor tags were tested for basic environmental durability, including waterproof, dustproof, and vibration standards. The sensors can be connected via USB to a computer to configure its settings and access the stored data within the sensors. Unlike other existing environmental sensors, these can be easily installed anywhere as they transmit data via wireless communication. These sensors can also be installed in the factory to check the factory’s internal pollution level in real time. The application of this sensor will enable the real-time monitoring of air pollution in factories. By locating the polluted areas accurately, it will be possible to exercise distributed control over ventilation devices to prevent further spread of pollutants, while also pushing out the polluted air to maintain an optimal working environment. Future studies should develop a simulation model for determining the ideal installation location for the sensors. There also needs to be further studies in developing a distributed-controlled air-conditioning system to run empirical tests.

Full textAbstract:
Permanently installed sensors are a cost-effective solution for corrosion monitoring due to their advantages, such as less human interference and continuous data acquisition. Some of the most widely used permanently installed corrosion sensors are ultrasonic thickness (UT) gauges. However, UT sensors are limited by the need for coupling agents between pipe surfaces and sensors. The magnetic eddy current (MEC) method, on the other hand, does not require couplant and can be used over insulations. With the development of powerful rare earth magnets, MEC sensors with low power consumption are possible, and there is the prospect of using them as permanently installed sensors. A novel wireless magnetic eddy current sensor has been designed and optimized using finite element simulation. Sensitivity studies of the sensors reveal that the excitation frequency is a critical parameter for the detection of corrosion defects. An in-depth explanation of the relationship between the sensitivity of the sensor and the excitation frequency is presented in this paper. The results of an accelerated corrosion test, conducted to simulate the service environment of the sensor, are also discussed. It was observed that the sensor signals are very sensitive to corrosion defects and show no subtle differences due to temperature and humidity changes.

A suitability of two different liquid phantoms of blood-glucose solutions as phantoms for development of microwave sensors for noninvasive blood glucose monitoring is compared. The two phantoms are physiological saline-glucose and pig blood-glucose solutions. For this purpose a simple microwave sensor is developed for in vitro monitoring of blood glucose levels. The sensor consists of a microstrip antenna and of a small rectangular container on the top of the antenna. The container is filled with one of the liquid phantoms. Both phantoms with different glucose concentrations ranging from 0 to 500 mg/dL are considered. Dependence of sensor’s resonant frequency on glucose concentration of LUTs is both estimated by aid of numerical simulations and measured. The results are discussed and compared with some results reported in the literature.

A large number of sensors like capacitive, resistive, piezoresistive, tunnel effective, optical, ultrasonic, magnetism based, piezoelectric sensors are available in market for tactile sensing. Not all the sensors are suitable for tactile sensing at all locations of humanoid robotics. We need to use different sensors for different locations in humanoid robotics like fingerprints and belly. Fingerprints of robot are most important part where we need a huge number of sensors on a limited place. As we need a large amount of data for exact modeling of properties contact surface so we require data from a large number of tactile sensors and hence we need to develop an array of tactile sensors.

As air quality sensors increasingly become commercially available, a deeper consideration of their usability and usefulness is needed to ensure effective application by the public. Much of the research related to sensors has focused on data quality and potential applications. While this information is important, a greater understanding of users’ experience with sensors would provide complementary information. Under a U.S. EPA-funded Science to Achieve Results grant awarded to the South Coast Air Quality Management District in California, titled “Engage, Educate, and Empower California Communities on the Use and Applications of Low-Cost Air Monitoring Sensors”, approximately 400 air quality sensors were deployed with 14 California communities. These communities received sensors and training, and they participated in workshops. Widely varying levels of sensor installation and engagement were observed across the 14 communities. However, despite differences between communities (in terms of participation, demographics, and socioeconomic factors), many participants offered similar feedback on the barriers to sensor use and strategies leading to successful sensor use. Here, we assess sensor use and participant feedback, as well as discuss the development of an educational toolkit titled “Community in Action: A Comprehensive Toolkit on Air Quality Sensors”. This toolkit can be leveraged by future community and citizen science projects to develop networks designed to collect air quality information that can help reduce exposure to and the emissions of pollutants, leading to improved environmental and public health.

Remote sensing activities from satellite are important aspect togain information about earth surface, thus has important significance on military, economic and geology fields. After 1962, the term remote sensing became popular and typically refers to non-intrusive observation of the Earth using electromagnetic waves from a platform some distance away from the object of study. Remote sensing implies a measurement made by some indirect or “remote” means rather than by a contact sensor. Remote sensing platform of satellite serves the sensing by using sensors. There are two types of sensors active and passive sensors. This article reviews about the sensors which are used for remote sensing of earth from satellite. This article analyses the sensors for sensing purpose and for attitude control of the satellite.

While transformer-type conductivity sensors are the usual type of inductive sensors, this paper describes the theory behind less used eddy current sensors. This type of sensor measures the conductivity of a liquid by inducing eddy currents and observing the effect on the sensor coil, which allows a simpler sensor design and promises a cost advantage in implementation. A novel model description is derived from the Maxwell equations and implemented by an equivalent RLC circuit. The designed model is validated by comparisons with experimental observations and FEM simulations. The result leads to a better understanding of the physical effects of the sensor and the influencing parameters for future sensor developments. The aim is to provide starting points for further sensor development of low-cost inductive conductivity sensors.

The paper presents a review of different sensory systems for trees’ characterization and detection in permanent crops and the detection of plant health status in crop conditions for the purpose of applying the variable application rate. The use of new technologies enables the use of variable inputs in production with the aim of increasing the economic profit and reducing the negative impact on the environment. World trends increasingly emphasize the use of various sensor systems to achieve precision agriculture and apply the following: ultrasonic sensors for the detection of permanent crops; LIDAR (optical) sensors for treetop detection and characterization; infrared sensors with similar characteristics of optical sensors, but with very low cost prices and N - sensors for variable nitric fertilization. The daily development of sensor systems applied in agricultural production improves the performance and quality of the machines they are installed on. With a more intensive use of sensors in agricultural mechanization, their price becomes more acceptable for widespread use by achieving high quality work with respect to the ecological principles of sustainable production.

In the mining industry, it is often necessary to directly measure forces with significant restrictions on the sensors, so the use of the range of existing sensors is not possible. In addition, the force and load sensor, which is designed for operation in severe mountain conditions, must be: with an extended range of operating temperatures, degree of protection IP67, moisture resistant in an aggressive environment and structurally designed so as not to violate safety requirements in mine workings. Studies have identified the functional limitations of the force sensor for mining - maximum deformation, overall dimensions and maximum stresses. The decisive factors in choosing a sensor design were precise fixation, reliability, adaptability to mining technological processes with safety and compliance with operating conditions, and reasonable cost. According to the requirements of industry standards of Ukraine, the geometric dimensions of the sensor were chosen in order to find the optimal solution. Based on this information, using a multi-parameter approach, many Pareto valid solutions are obtained. Based on many Paretooptimal solutions, a sensor variant was chosen for which, after applying the above approach, it was possible to reduce non-linearity and reduce the area between the forward and backward curves, as well as to get close to the found strain value in the sticker area. On the basis of an experimental batch of manufactured sensors, their refinement was performed in real mining. The developed sensor type 4201 DST-10 meets the safety requirements of the safety control system in mining and provides higher metrological accuracy than similar sensors developed by other authors. In 4201 DST-10, multicriteria optimization methods were used in designing the elastic elements of the force sensor for a load of 10 tons. The possibility of its use in similar harsh operating conditions at other facilities is allowed.

Fast development in hardware miniaturization and massive production of sensors make them cost efficient and vastly available to be used in various applications in our daily life more specially in environment monitoring applications. However, energy consumption is still one of the barriers slowing down the development of several applications. Slow development in battery technology, makes energy harvesting (EH) as a prime candidate to eliminate the sensor’s energy barrier. EH sensors can be the solution to enabling future applications that would be extremely costly using conventional battery-powered sensors. In this paper, we analyze the performance improvement and evaluation of EH sensors in various situations. A network model is developed to allow us to examine different scenarios. We borrow a clustering concept, as a proven method to improve energy efficiency in conventional sensor network and brought it to EH sensor networks to study its effect on the performance of the network in different scenarios. Moreover, a dynamic and distributed transmission power management for sensors is proposed and evaluated in both networks, with and without clustering, to study the effect of power balancing on the network end-to-end performance. The simulation results indicate that, by using clustering and transmission power adjustment, the power consumption can be distributed in the network more efficiently, which result in improving the network performance in terms of a packet delivery ratio by 20%, 10% higher network lifetime by having more alive nodes and also achieving lower delay by reducing the hop-count.

Compared with lever-type amplification mechanisms, bridge-type flexible amplification mechanisms have advantages in terms of amplification ratio and structural compactness. Therefore, they can effectively replace the lever-type amplification mechanism in the existing hair-like sensors and realize the development of miniature hair-like sensors with high sensitivity. With that in mind, a highly sensitive hair-like sensor based on a bridge-type amplification mechanism with distributed flexibility is presented to measure the airflow rate. First, the structural composition and operating principle of the hair-like sensor are described. Then, detailed design and analysis of the hair-like sensor are carried out, focusing on the design of the hair post structure, amplification mechanism, and resonator. Furthermore, the designed hair-like sensor is processed and prepared, and some experimental studies are conducted. The experimental results demonstrate that the developed hair-like sensor can measure the airflow rate with high sensitivity up to 8.56 Hz/(m/s)2. This provides a new concept for the structural design of hair-like sensors and expands the application of bridge-type flexible amplification mechanisms in the field of micro/nano sensors.

Full textAbstract:
Rotational speed is one of the most important parameters in the performance of any system. It becomes more vital when the rotational speed measurement is required on real-time basis. Measurement of rotational speed has a crucial role in automation of agricultural machineries for various purposes. The existing real-time speed measurement systems are susceptible to the varying working environment. Therefore, it was necessary to study the performance of available sensor. In this study four different sensors (inductive proximity, Infrared (IR), Hall effect and optical proximity sensors) were tested in three different working environments (indoor, outdoor and outdoor dusty condition) for two different spacings (2 and 5 mm) between sensors and target. A laboratory setup was developed to test the performance of the sensors in terms of percentage deviation in rotational speeds measurement compared to actual values. The values were recorded in Secure Digital (SD) card and analysed using full factorial design. The means of the different levels were compared using Tukey’s (b) method. There was significant difference in sensor response for different conditions. The percentage of deviation in speed for Hall effect, inductive proximity, IR and optical proximity sensors varied from 0.55 to 1.03, 1.20 to 32.29, 21.37 to 100.00 and 35.18 to 99.98%, respectively. The study concluded that the Hall effect sensor was more suitable for rotational speed measurement than the other sensors without being affected by working environment.

Full textAbstract:
A long-term structural health monitoring (SHM) system consisting of more than 600 sensors has been designed and is being implemented by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University to the Guangzhou New TV Tower (GNTVT) of 610 m high. This monitoring system is one of few SHM practices that integrate in-construction monitoring and in-service monitoring. It is also designed to perform a special function of verifying the effectiveness of vibration control devices to be installed on the tower. The sensory system for in-construction monitoring includes a weather station, a total station, anemometers, zenithal telescopes, level sensors, theodolites, global positioning systems, vibrating wire gauges, thermometers, digital video cameras, and accelerometers (for ambient vibration monitoring at several construction stages), and the sensory system for in-service monitoring includes a weather station, anemometers, wind pressure sensors, vibrating wire gauges, thermometers, global positioning systems, digital video cameras, accelerometers, a seismograph, corrosion sensors, tiltmeters, and fiber optic sensors (for dynamic strain and temperature monitoring). The strain and temperature at the inner structure during construction are continuously monitored by a wireless data acquisition system. This paper outlines the design and implementation of this SHM system.

Many research groups have become interested in the flexible capacitive pressure sensor in recent years. It has many applications, such as electronic skin and fingerprint collection devices. One of the challenges is optimizing the sensor's design, which can be achieved by improving its sensitivity. The flexible capacitive pressure sensor outperforms other pressure sensors in terms of efficiency, response time, and cost. In the future, more applications will use the flexible capacitive pressure sensor as the component. Thus, improving its sensitivity becomes significant. The topic of this review is to briefly introduce the flexible capacitive pressure sensor's mechanism, how to achieve high sensitivity and any potential applications that already exist in the market. It will also go over some experiments to improve the sensor's sensitivity and their benefits. In the end, the future expectations of the capacitive pressure sensor will also be discussed. The topic of this review will be significant to the development of electronic devices.
