In-Transit Visibility and Total Asset Visibility for Cold Chain Supply Logistics

McCleland B., Russell T.W., Myconi Technologies, US

Thousands of temperature sensitive products that require continual monitoring and controls are shipped every day. Last year, temperature-compromised pharmaceutical products cost the industry $35.0 billion. Almost 30% of products in the perishable food market were [...]

Myconi Technical Solutions for In Transit Visibility Cold Chain Logistics

McCleland B., Russell T.W., Myconi Technologies, US

Myconi Technologies has developed a proprietary wireless, ad hoc, peer-to-peer, self-healing mesh network protocol that operates on internationally license-free frequencies (IEEE 802.15.4 ISM Standard). Myconi has incorporated this wireless technology with multiple environmental and material [...]

Wireless, One-way, Sensor to Base Station Monitoring System for Explosive and Non-hazardous Environments

Jensen S.L., NASA - Stennis Space Center, US

The technology developed is a monitoring system that includes a base station and at least one sensor unit mounted at some distance away, which is in wireless, one-way communication with the base station. The sensor [...]

Wireless Graphene-Based Quantum Capacitance Sensors for Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Olson E.J., Deen D.A., Ebrish M.A., Basu A., Kudva Y.C., Mukherjee P., Koester S.J., University of Minnesota, US

We describe a revolutionary concept for in vivo biosensing that utilizes the quantum capacitance effect in graphene to realize an ultra-small passive wireless sensor. The unique properties of graphene make it attractive for sensing applications. [...]

Rechargeable Lithium-ion Batteries For Wireless Smart Designs

Fusalba F., CEA-Liten, FR

Wireless communication is today considered as a disruptive technology. Indeed, even if wired systems can easily achieve 100% of reliability, it induces high amount of wiring, which has non negligible impact on the mass and [...]

Power consumption of microelectronic equipment for wireless sensor networks

Poole N., Mo T., Brusey J., Coventry University, UK

The paper reports on research conducted by the authors into the power consumption of the microelectronics employed in a variety of practical wireless intelligent sensor applications. It aims to provide results that will inform developers [...]

Information Controlled Wireless Sensor Networks with Energy Aware Nodes

Merrett G., Al-Hashimi B.M., White N.M., Harris N.R., University of Southampton, UK

We propose an algorithm whereby each node in a WSN decides its network involvement independently of its neighbouring nodes, based on its own resources and the information contained in the message. The concept of our [...]

Concept of an Intelligent Microsystem Structure for Communication with Real Surrounding Space

Husak M., Jakovenko J., Czech Technical University, CZ

In the paper, concept of intelligent microsystem structure is presented. This concept is applicable in general surrounding environment. Concrete model of an intelligent temperature microsystem for control purposes is designed. Microsystem function has been verified [...]
