Smart and affordable medical and health care have been always described as a dream coming true despite the ever growing cost of providing such care services to hospitals and nursing homes. Pervasive sensing and wireless networking technology possess the potential to the provisions of quality medical or health care with relatively lower cost. One of achievements that hold the promise is the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) technology, in particular, the medical wireless sensor networks. Medical wireless sensor networks (WSNs) typically include Wireless Body Area Networks(WBANs), and Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs). In virtue of low communication range(≤ 250m) and low data transmission rate(250bps), WPANs have a promising prospect of being deployed in the medical and health care domains. In this paper, we deliberate the viability and the effectiveness of exploiting a modified Opnet-ZB simulation model to study the functionality of WPANs that would be deployed in the domain of medical and health care. Based on the Opnet-ZB simulation model, we construct two types of WPANs and explore the feasibility of the WPANs deployment in two scenarios.

The effects of bias current in the sensing layer of resistive Metal-Oxide (MOX) sensors toward gases have been investigated. The behavior of a WO3 thin film deposited by sputtering has been studied. In a first time, while the working temperature is kept constant, it has been found that tuning the polarization of the MOX layer induces changes on its sensitivity. Besides, the behavior of sensitivity versus bias current depends on the nature of the gas. For example, the response to NH3-10ppm hugely increases with the bias rise; at the opposite, the polarization has no effect on NO2-10ppm responses. In a second time, the effect of the working temperature changing added to the polarization has been studied. Thus, an optimized temperature-modulated profile has been established and it has been associated with a multivariate analysis in order to quickly and easily discriminate several gases and mixtures. It has been shown this method allows discriminating two gases (NH3 and NO2) at two concentrations (5 and 10 ppm) alone and mixed. These results open a new way to increase the selectivity of MOX sensors.

Ambulatory range estimation on the human body is important for the assessment of the performance of upper- and lower limb tasks outside a laboratory. In this paper an ultrasound sensor for estimating ranges on the human body is presented and validated during gait. The distance between the feet is estimated based on the time of flight and compared to an optical reference. The signal to noise ratio of the received signal is used as a measure for the uncertainty of the range estimate. For example when rejecting distance estimates with a signal to noise ratio smaller than 5, the mean absolute distance difference between the ultrasound sensor and an optical reference system is 7.0 mm (sd 7.1 mm) over six walking trials.

Wireless Underground Sensor Networks (WUSN) using Electro-Magnetic (EM) wave communication has to address the challenges posed by the underground environment. An alternative to EM wave communication for WUSN is Magnetic Induction (MI). This research aims to study the possibility of using MI communication for WUSN designed for irrigation control in horticulture. As a case study, a typical Pecan farm in Australia has been considered. The case study would focus on the application of accurate soil moisture reporting and regulation for the farm, under all climatic conditions. This application addresses the issue of water-shortage confronting irrigation in Australia. This paper presents the results obtained from simulation of RFID deployment as part of WUSN design, and is a sequel to an earlier published work as part of an ongoing project.

Microcrystalline silicon films are used as piezoresistive material to fabricate resistor and transistor strain gauges. Very small gauges are fabricated allowing the possibility to measure high deformations with both high sensitivity and spatial resolution. Resistor gauges with 5 × 125 μm2 smallest size showed a gauge factor of -24 when applying high strains (0.55%, radius of curvature 5 mm). Field effect thin film transistor (TFT) gauges showed a gauge factor of -85 but under slightly lower strains (0.45%, radius of curvature 10 mm). This value is close to strain gauges made of single crystalline silicon (~100, regarding the absolute value), but which are not flexible and then cannot support high deformations. The more complex technological process of TFT gauges could reserve their use to the measurement of low deformations when high resolution is required, while resistor gauges could be chosen when focusing on a mix between size and sensitivity in a large range of deformations.

This paper describes a magnetic tactile sensor with Indium antimonide (InSb) Hall elements for multifunctional sensing devices to detect the normal contact force and the temperature. This sensor consists of two Hall elements and a magnet that are embedded in a silicone rubber. The temperature characteristic of InSb Hall elements depends on the bias circuit to generate the Hall voltage. Two output Hall voltages driven by two kinds of bias circuits were measured in the normal contact force range from 0 to 50 N, the temperature range from -10 to 50°. The inverse response surface to identify the normal contact force and the temperature was formulated using the experimental results.

The Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) represents an essential measuring instrument in various disciplines covering life science, biology, material science, semiconductor industries, and micro- and nanotechnology. However, conventional AFM technology is limited as it is a 2.5D image acquisition technique thus only giving a “view from above”. In semiconductor and nanomanufacturing industries the measurement of linewidths, critical dimensions (CD), and sidewall angle/roughness on the wafer level is one of the most fundamental dimensional nanometrology needs. As technology progresses the critical dimension size and tolerance decrease. Especially, characterizing the sidewall roughness of nanostructured photonic components is one of the key challenges and plays an important role in optimizing the efficiency of nanooptical devices such as waveguides. The main source for loss in waveguides is the sidewall roughness which results in diffuse scattering. Standard pyramidal AFM probes are unable to correctly scan these structures. Firstly, the pyramidal tip of the AFM probe cannot scan high aspect ratio structures in a correct way leading to a distorted AFM image and to incorrect trench width and height. Secondly, the sidewall roughness and angle of the structure cannot be measured at all since the AFM probe is not able to contact the sidewall structure. To overcome these problems, we suggest a novel method for performing sidewall measurements that is based on utilization of standard AFM equipment in combination with customized FIB-milled AFM tips and a control loop incorporating the torsion of the cantilever as feedback to control the lateral position of the AFM tip.

Efficient routing is a key concern for the execution of high performance query processing in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Existing routing protocols lack the efficiency in terms of energy consumption, accuracy and timing response. Data storage and processing constraints in sensor nodes also hinder the efficient and timely response in various applications, especially in healthcare, where, many vital data are collected from the patients using wireless devices. These data can be crucial for saving the patient's life. Thus, an efficient, accurate and fast routing protocol is of utmost importance in healthcare. Present routing protocols in hierarchical network protocols, the cluster heads are selected from general sensor nodes, however the storage and processing constraints perceive in the usual wireless biomedical sensors as the processing requires more energy consumption and the storage capacity is limited. In this paper we propose a novel routing protocol by utilizing Storage nodes. We evaluate and prove the feasibility of the proposed protocol through extensive simulations. Simulation results show that the protocol is more energy efficient, faster and data resilient compared to other techniques.
