In recent years, the Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) concept has attracted significant academic and industrial attention. WBAN specifies a network dedicated to collecting personal biomedical data from advanced sensors that are then used for health...
Strain gauges and optical methods are commonly used to measure the magnetostriction coefficient of a sample. All these methods require a specific size sample and can only realize offline measurement, which is time-consuming. Therefore, we propose a n...
Ultrasonic waves have good propagation in the human body and have been widely applied in biomedical device design without any reported side effects. Therefore, ultrasonic waves can provide an alternative method as an information carrier for body sens...
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can be a powerful tool for live (interactive) remote inspection of large-scale structures or areas of interest. Instead of manual, local, and labor-intensive inspections, we envision human operators working together wi...
In this paper, we propose a covert underwater acoustic communication method that is robust to fading using a chirp signal combined with a frequency-hopping spread spectrum scheme. A fractional Fourier transform, which estimates the slope of the signa...
The article presents novel hardware solutions for new intelligent sensors that can be used in wireless sensor networks (WSN). A substantial reduction of the amount of data sent by the sensor to the base station in the WSN may extend the possible sens...
Throughout the past decade, vehicular networks have attracted a great deal of interest in various fields. The increasing number of vehicles has led to challenges in traffic regulation. Vehicle-type detection is an important research topic that has fo...
Wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs) may provide useful, objective information to clinicians interested in quantifying head movements as patients’ progress through vestibular rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to validate an IM...
Electrocardiogram signal analysis is based on detecting a fiducial point consisting of the onset, offset, and peak of each waveform. The accurate diagnosis of arrhythmias depends on the accuracy of fiducial point detection. Detecting the onset and of...
The early detection of freeze damage in Navelate oranges (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) was studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), which is associated with a specific double-needle sensor. The objective was to identify this problem...
