Addressing the recent trend of the massive demand for resources and ubiquitous use for all citizens has led to the conceptualization of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart cities. Ubiquitous IoT connectivity can be achieved to...

The primary aim of this study was to examine the validity of six commonly used wearable devices, i.e., Apple Watch S6, Garmin Forerunner 245 Music, Polar Vantage V, Oura Ring Generation 2, WHOOP 3.0 and Somfit, for assessing sleep. The secondary aim...

In this work, a novel scheme for velocity and position estimation in a UWB range-based localization system is proposed. The suggested estimation strategy allows to overcome two main problems typically encountered in the localization systems. The firs...

Humidity measurement is required in various fields. We previously developed a sensor that leverages the sudden change in the transmitted light intensity when switching from leakage mode to waveguide mode. By adjusting the low-refractive-index polymer...

To avoid the potential safety hazards of electric vehicles caused by the mechanical fault deterioration of the in-wheel motor (IWM), this paper proposes an intelligent diagnosis based on double-optimized artificial hydrocarbon networks (AHNs) to iden...

In the present work, three LiDAR technologies (Faro Focus 3D X130—Terrestrial Laser Scanner, TLS-, Kaarta Stencil 2–16—Mobile mapping system, MMS-, and DJI Zenmuse L1—Airborne LiDAR sensor, ALS-) have been tested and compared...

In seismic assessment of continuous girder bridges, plastic hinges form in bridge piers to dissipate seismic energy through nonlinear restoring forces. Considering temporal and spatial variations of ground motions, seismic evaluation of the bridges i...

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a sharp increase in the interest in artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool supporting the work of doctors in difficult conditions and providing early detection of the implications of the disease. Recent studies have shown...

Portable, custom-made electronic dynamometry for the foot and ankle is a promising assessment method that enables foot and ankle muscle function to be established in healthy participants and those affected by chronic conditions. Diabetic peripheral n...

This study proposes a visual sensing system to investigate the self-propelled motions of droplets. In the visual sensing of self-propelled droplets, large field-of-view and high-resolution images are both required to investigate the behaviors of mult...
