Space Applications for Wireless Sensors

Wilson W.C., Atkinson G.M., NASA Langley Research Center, US

Reducing the weight of spacecraft will reduce both fabrication and launch costs. The elimination of wiring and wiring harnesses reduces the total mass of the vehicle. Wireless sensor technology can reduce the weight and therefore [...]

Wireless Micro and Nano Sensors for Physiological and Environmental Monitoring

Kaminska B., Simon Fraser University, CA

A wearable physiological/environmental monitoring system and a practical implementation are presented. The technical requirements for wearable electronics and sensors have been specified with an example of ECG, oxygenometer, and wireless network-based bidirectional communication. A presented [...]

Some Novel Applications for Wireless Inertial Sensors

Paradiso J.A., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

Sensors have followed a corollary of Moore’s Law as they progressively decrease in size, cost, and often power. Nowhere is this more evident than with inertial sensor systems, as MEMS-based devices become steadily smaller and [...]
