This letter proposes multisource direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation using the correlation between angles of adjacent time– frequency (TF) points for a first-order ambisonics sensor array. For a TF point in the recorded signal, we define the adjacent TF points whose angles are close to that of this point as angle correlation points (ACPs) and then explore the relation between the probability that this point is a single-source point (SSP) and the number of ACPs. We found that there is a positive correlation between the number of ACPs and the probability that a point is an SSP. Hence, SSP detection is proposed using the angle correlation between adjacent TF points. In addition, 2-D weight kernel density estimation is designed to estimate the probability density of angles of detected SSPs. Finally, peak search is adopted for DOA estimation. Experiments in simulated and real environments show that the DOA estimation performance of the proposed method exceeds that of some existing methods.
本文提出利用一阶环境声学传感器阵列相邻时频（TF）点角度之间的相关性进行多源到达方向（DOA）估计。对于记录信号中的一个 TF 点，我们将角度与该点相近的相邻 TF 点定义为角度相关点（ACP），然后探讨该点为单源点（SSP）的概率与 ACP 数量之间的关系。我们发现，ACP 的数量与某点是单源点的概率之间存在正相关关系。因此，我们提出利用相邻 TF 点之间的角度相关性来检测 SSP。此外，还设计了二维权核密度估计来估计检测到的 SSP 的角度概率密度。最后，采用峰值搜索进行 DOA 估计。在模拟和真实环境中的实验表明，所提方法的 DOA 估计性能超过了一些现有方法。

This letter explores the architecture of tiny machine learning (TinyML). Deploying machine learning into embedded devices is challenging due to the limited computation power and memory space. An experimental setup has been designed for the anomaly detection of a USB fan. We collect the normal data from a USB fan, and abnormal data are simulated using a broken fan blade. Two different speeds, namely, speed 1 and speed 2, have been used to collect the normal data and abnormal data. The normal data collected are used to train the standard autoencoder model and our proposed model modified overcomplete asymmetric autoencoder (MOA), respectively. The trained model is then deployed into a microcontroller, i.e., Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense. The proposed MOA can achieve 99.23% accuracy, recall of 99.70%, precision of 98.77%, F1 score of 99.23%, and false positive rate of 1.222%. Besides that, our MOA model only occupies 17 kB. Therefore, it can be fitted into most microcontrollers for embedded applications.

Onions are a valuable cash crop for farmers, providing a reliable source of income; thus, monitoring of the quality of onions kept in storage is an important concern. There are various factors, such as temperature, humidity, and storage period, that are responsible for maintaining the quality of onion. The common factor is, onion emits various gases when it starts rotting. Thus, to address this issue, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), sulphur dioxide (SO 2 ), hydrogen sulphide (H 2 S), ammonia (NH 3 ), temperature and humidity (SHT40) sensors are used in the proposed onion quality monitoring system. In this letter, we present the approximate ranges of the sensors through repeated experiments on three types of onions: healthy, those beginning to rot and fully rotted onions. In addition, our experiments and the literature both indicate that H 2 S gas is the most effective for early rot detection. Moreover, none of the existing literature works have discussed regarding the power consumption of the onion quality monitoring system. Therefore, a novel battery operated, power efficient onion monitoring device is designed, primarily using H 2 S and SHT40 sensors. This setup has a battery life of approximately 6.03 days with an 11.1 V / 10 Ah battery. When H 2 S levels exceed a threshold indicating the onset of onion rot, all sensors (CO 2 , SO 2 , H 2 S, NH 3 , and SHT40) are activated, reducing battery life to 5.41 days.

Precise distance estimation is essential in various fields, influencing customary aspects from daily activities to advanced research. In wireless sensor networks (WSN) accurate distance estimation is crucial for different applications, such as localization, energy efficiency, dynamic routing, and coverage optimization. In this letter, we strive to assess distance accurate estimation across various technologies, including a sub-GHz low-power, low-data-rate radio chip, and the ultra-wideband (UWB) transceiver. We utilize a combination of Time-of-Flight (ToF), link quality metrics (LQM), and machine learning (ML) techniques to elucidate the strengths and limitations of each technology.

The crucial role of pulse signals in the field of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) cannot be overstated, as they provide physiological indicators for cardiovascular health monitoring and disease diagnosis. Pulse signals, as fundamental physiological signals, also offer valuable insights into heart rate variability (HRV) analysis for diagnosing CVDs. The wearable sensors are promising to monitor HRV information. We propose a smartphone-integrated plastic optical fiber (POF) speckle sensor for HRV monitoring, POF with a core diameter of 1000 µm was implemented, which offers the highest signal-to-noise ratio value (11.33 dB) among POFs of this core diameter. HRV tests were conducted, revealing a participant's average heart rate, standard deviation of NN intervals, and Root mean square of successive differences during different motion states. The correlation coefficient between reference R wave to R wave (RR) intervals and measured RR intervals is 0.97018. The results indicate our system holds potential applications in monitoring HRV for prevention and treatment of CVDs.

This letter reports a novel design of a resistance strain sensor and its method of fabrication. The sensor is made of printed silver (Ag), but its sensitivity, which is measured by the gauge factor (GF), surpasses most commercial metal foil strain gauges (COTS). These COTS have a low GF (∼2) because they exhibit a weak piezoresistive effect. As a result, their sensitivity is dominated by the geometric effect. In this design, the GF is not limited by the weak piezoresistive effect in Ag. Its enhanced sensitivity (GF∼55) originates from the junctions that are created when a conductive cross-pattern is laser sintered on a printed Ag pad. The cross-pattern consists of a low-resistivity vertical trace and a high-resistivity horizontal trace. The difference in resistivity is achieved by changing the laser sintering power. The junction that joins the high and the low resistivity traces is a boundary with interfacial resistance. This interfacial resistance exhibits high sensitivity to strain leading to a different design and fabrication of a resistance strain sensor.
这封信报告了电阻应变传感器的新型设计及其制造方法。该传感器由印刷银（Ag）制成，但其灵敏度（通过量规系数（GF）测量）超过了大多数商用金属箔应变片（COTS）。这些 COTS 的 GF 值（∼2）很低，因为它们的压阻效应很弱。因此，它们的灵敏度主要受几何效应的影响。在这种设计中，GF 不受 Ag 中弱压阻效应的限制。其更高的灵敏度（GF∼55）源于在印刷的银垫上激光烧结导电交叉图案时产生的结点。交叉图案由一条低电阻率垂直轨迹和一条高电阻率水平轨迹组成。电阻率的差异是通过改变激光烧结功率来实现的。连接高电阻率和低电阻率轨迹的交界处是具有界面电阻的边界。这种界面电阻对应变的敏感度很高，因此需要设计和制造不同的电阻应变传感器。

The success of semiconductor industry, providing a high- volume, high-accuracy fabrication method of sensor chips, has caused sensors to be omnipresent in everyday consumer products. Typically, these sensors are enclosed into sensor packages and further integrated onto printed circuit boards since, for the connection to the outer world, several length scales have to be bridged. In this work, we show how surface-mount devices (SMDs) can be directly integrated onto poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) chips through the use of open microchannels. To this end, the SMDs are directly placed onto structured PMMA plates with open microchannels connecting them to dedicated liquid reservoirs. When introducing conductive inks to those reservoirs, capillary forces draw the liquid toward the SMDs and ensure the electrical connection between the liquid reservoir and the SMDs themselves. With the addition of crossings and meandering conductive lines, this process can be used for the fabrication of electrical networks out of individual SMD components directly on a PMMA substrate.

In this letter, we propose a version of the unscented Rauch–Tung–Striebel (RTS) smoother robust to outliers in the observations. We consider a common case where data are collected from independent sensors with additive white Gaussian noise. Our method is primarily motivated by recent arguments and results presented in favor of learning-based outlier-robust state estimators, which assume adaptive residual cost functions in their formulation. We resort to the variational Bayesian (VB) theory to design an algorithm that selectively discards the corrupted measurements unlike other learning-based methods. Moreover, with the assumption that data are obtained from independent sensors, we are able to leverage computational results from advances in the unscented filtering theory that exploit the sparsity in the measurement covariance. For performance bench-marking, we present the Bayesian Cramér–Rao bound for a smoother with perfect outliers detection and rejection capabilities. Numerical experiments under different scenarios showcase performance gains in comparison with similar learning-based smoothers derived with the VB approach.
