Wireless Sensor Networks for Aerospace Applications- Thermal Monitoring for a Gas Turbine Engine
Goldsmith D., Gaura E., Brusey J., Shuttleworth J., Cogent Computing Applied Research Centre, Coventry University, UK
The paper here reports on the development of a prototype wireless sensor network for thermal monitoring of aircraft gas turbine engines. The prototype acts as a concept demonstrator for the application at hand. Building upon [...]
Wireless sensor networks for space applications
The application of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) into time-sensitive applications, such as remote healthcare, fire tracking and industrial automation, demands support for emergency services with guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) bounds. In particular, the continuous [...]
Priority Based Message Transmission over Unreliable Wireless Links for Safety Critical Monitoring Applications
Fei X., Kemp J., Gaura E.I., Brusey J., Cogent Computing Applied Research Centre, Coventry University, UK
In our prior work, a Body Sensor Network (BSN) system aimed at increasing safety of bomb disposal operatives during missions has been developed. Although this system served well the application at hand in terms of [...]
Wireless sensor networks for activity monitoring in safety critical applications
The ability to monitor posture is essential to many application areas, including virtual reality, health, and sports applications. The work here focuses on the use of postural monitoring monitoring in safety critical missions such as [...]
Nanochip – Ultra-High Data Density MEMS Memory Device
Adams D., Belov N., Chou T-K., Heck J., Kim B., Knight G., Ma Q., Rao V., Tchelepi G., Nanochip, Inc., US
Nanochip developed a conceptual prototype of a probe storage device (nanochip). The device employs a ferroelectric non-volatile memory, which permits robust write, non-destructive read and simple data overwriting operations. Read-write operations require low power and [...]
Study on Application of Piezoelectric Vibration Energy Harvesters for Powering of Wireless Sensor Nodes in Large Rotary Machine Diagnostic Systems
Pekoslawski B., Pietrzak P., Makowski M., Szafoni L., Napieralski A., Technical University of Lodz, PL
A condition monitoring of large rotary machines such as turbogenerators in power plants can be more convenient and less expensive when using a distributed measurement system with wireless sensor nodes. A battery-based powering of these [...]
Low Cost Paper Based Bowtie Tag Antenna for High Performance UHF RFID Applications
Amin Y., Prokkola S., Shao B., Hållstedt J., Chen Q., Tenhunen H., Zheng L-R, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), SE
In this paper, we have realized a bowtie antenna for UHF RFID Tag with extended round corners for the first time printed on paper substrate. The state of the art CAD tool Ansoft® HFSS is [...]
Fully On-Chip High Q Inductors Based on Microtechnologies
The fast growing demand of wireless communications for voice and data has driven recent efforts to dramatically increase the levels of integration in radio frequency (RF) transceivers. Passive components such as inductor play important role [...]
