In this paper, we provide a systematic analysis of smartphone power consumption in background audio recording scenarios. We report comprehensive measurement results for several Android smartphone models with diverse hardware specifications, running d...
With the advent of the new information technologies, the power communication service object is continuously enhanced by the modernization level of the switches architecture designed in the substation automation environment. In the futuristic plan, th...
In this study, the maximum work extraction from the incident solar energy on solar thermal collectors is investigated by coupling solar collectors with a Carnot machine. A simplified thermal model for the solar collector performance is developed in w...
Recent advances in the areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the informatics field, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) in the production field, and Internet of Things (IoT) in the logistics and transportation field have induced a tremendous growth and i...
The application of autonomous vehicles has grown dramatically in recent years. Not only has the rail-guided vehicle (RGV) been used widely in traditional production lines, the automatic guided vehicle (AGV) has also been increasingly used. Positionin...
Lower back musculoskeletal disorders are pervasive in workplaces. In the United States alone, the total cost of such injuries exceed $100 billion a year. The lower-back injury rate in the healthcare sector is one of the highest among all industry sec...
In this paper, a new type of optical fiber tilt sensor based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is presented for 2D dual-axis tilt angle sensing. The tilt sensor is composed of two cylindrical floats suspended in water, connected with FBG. When the externa...
In the modern technological society, engineers and designers must work together with a variety of other professions in their quest to find systematic solutions to complex problems.[...]
