This paper demonstrates that a single thermally-modulated semiconductor gas sensor can discriminate and measure concentrations between two different explosive gases (CH4 and H2) and their mixtures. This method uses a novel feature extraction method, which is based on the wavelet singular entropy (WSE). From the time-frequency domain and energy spectrum perspective, wavelet decomposition coefficients and WSE are extracted as the features from the dynamic response of a single SnO2-based sensor in a rectangular temperature mode. Also, distance criterion as the feature evaluation criteria is employed to determine the optimal wavelet function, decomposition level and wavelet coefficients. Experimental results show that, compared with fast Fourier transform (FFT) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT), the WSE technique is more effective in terms of feature extraction and is highly tolerant to the presence of serious additive noise in the sensor response.

Sensor-Actor Networks (Sanets) is adaptable for surgical simulation contexts, to illustrate how the Elastic Network Model can be used for laparoscopic end-effector navigation through vital organs and other obstacles. The active modeling of agents as interactive components of a unified laparoscopic simulator seeks to emulate the medical environment as a virtual representation in the coordinated Sanet infrastructure. The combination of Sanet middleware framework paradigms towards a surgical knowledge-based conception demonstrates how Sanets can help to enhance medical education. The hybrid architecture of the training equipment enables the adaptation of elastic modeling techniques for effective advances in laparoscopic training exercises.

This paper reports on the development of a novel electromagnetic wave sensor for real-time monitoring of presence and concentration of pesticides in water. In particular, the change in the electromagnetic wave signal in microwave frequency range is used as an indicator of water quality. The sensing element was designed on a FR4 substrate and the planar inderdigitated pattern was printed on top of the sensor from Au material to avoid any chemical reaction between the solution tested and the sensor itself. The performance of the developed system was tested on two commercially available pesticides and the results confirmed the viability of using microwaves for realtime water purity monitoring as the corresponding spectra for these pesticides were unique and clearly depicted a shift in the resonant frequencies of the sensor when it was placed in contact with water samples.

This paper presents the design of liquid detection sensor with low-frequency electromagnetic field. The purpose of this sensor is to detect a change in the conductivity or permittivity of the liquid. If the evaluation frequency is less than 100 kHz, skin effects would be negligible. This paper proposes sensor that consists of two cylindrical sensors, a solenoid coil and a cylindrical capacitor. For an ideal shape condition, estimation methods for inductance and capacitance have been already proposed. However, the practical issues need to be clarified. It starts with fabrication of several coils and capacitors, to confirm the validity of the estimation methods. From experimental results, it was found that, the estimation error and existence of the parasitic element could not be neglected. This paper also presents a liquid detection demonstration with fabricated sensors based on differences in conductivity and permittivity.

MC-1 Magnetotactic bacteria are considered as self-propelled oxygen sensors with overall sizes of only 1 to 2 μm across. Each cell contains a chain of magnetite nanoparticles that acts like a magnetic nano-compass. Magnetotaxis directional control can be applied from a weak magnetic field to force each cell towards specific areas where oxygen gradient is present. Once at the region under investigation, the directional magnetic field can be reduced to allow the cells to move towards regions of 0.5% oxygen level. A sufficiently high concentration of these cells allows us to visualize with the naked eyes, the low oxygen levels in planar and 3D fluidic environments.

The authors are developing a novel learning support system "Human SUGOROKU" by integration of ultrasonic sensors and Kinect sensors. The system is a relocatable large scale digital board game that human-players as its piece move on squares. To realize the system, we measure players locations and gestures identifying players, by integrating output information from both sensors. This paper explains overview of the system and proposes a method to reduce installation time. That length of installation time is one of the most serious problems when we relocate the system. Most part of the time is spent to unify sensors' coordinate systems. Usually, as each sensor has own coordinate system, we can't use sensors' output directly without unifying their coordinate systems. In order to unify sensors' coordinate systems, we need accurate positioning of the sensors, but accurate positioning manually is difficult and takes much time. The proposed method is a positioning-free convenient unifying method for different kinds of multiple sensors by using dedicated instrument. We conduct an experiment to evaluate the proposed method, and confirm that the method can reduce installation time for the system.

This article proposes a method for differentiation of biological samples based upon the dielectric characteristics of the sample. Lipid accumulation within cells is significant as it serves as a marker pertaining to the metabolism and oncologic state of the cell and organism. This is accomplished through dielectric characterisation of the sample utilising circuit board based resonant structures. This paper presents a preliminary experiment using lipid accumulating yeast cultures to model lipid droplets in mammalian cells. The experiment indicated that lipid positive and negative cultures can be differentiated based upon the dielectric characteristics of the sample.

The equivalent circuit for the relation between the impedance of the coil wound around the magnetic yoke and the permeability of the material was analyzed for a quantitative estimation of an initial permeability of materials from the impedance measurement of the magnetic yoke. The optimum design of the magnetic yoke for an impedance measurement is also considered. In addition, a potential of NDE for the hardness of deformed low carbon steel using the impedance measurement was confirmed experimentally.

Magnetic-catalyzed SnO2 with Fe3O4 of CMOS MEMS gas sensor is proposed and it's based on the magnetic-catalytic sensing mechanism to increase sensitivity. Beyond the conventional power dissipation of heating to maintain a certain working temperature, a new approach for gas sensor with magnetic-catalytic mechanism works at the ambient temperature without the consideration of active heating. The design and fabrication is realized by the standard 0.35μm CMOS process to fabricate a gas sensor with mesh stacked electrodes. For the preparation of magnetic sensing material, a prepared solution of sol-gel SnO2 is mixed at SnO2:Fe3O4 = 3:1, which was deposited onto mesh stacked electrodes. When the CO gas sensor is introduced, the sample is tested and verified inside a CO gas chamber with a magnetic field generator of solenoid coil. We also build a magnetic-catalytic gas reaction behavior description based on Gibbs free energy and the Eyring equation. A careful investigation of measurement results, at horizontal magnetic field, the sensitivity of proposed CO gas sensor reaches 1.73%/ppm under the 12 Gauss which shows widely applicable for an ultra-low power chemical microsensor with high sensitivity.

Emerging sensor era in building automation and control recommends the need of interoperable wireless sensors in future homes. The rapid development in smart sensor manufacturing from multitude of sensor manufacturers has also led to the incompatibilities among various devices in wireless sensor network. IEEE 1451 defines a set of open, common, network-independent communication interfaces for connecting transducers (sensors or actuators). Sensing devices come with different calibration, output data units, data-packet structure, number of sensors in devices, buffering techniques, throughput time etc. Interoperability challenge among the devices can be addressed by usage of common reliable globally accepted standard like IEEE 1451. This paper explains implementation of IEEE 1451 standard for ZigBee motes with Activity recognition sensor, PIR sensor, Accelerometer sensor and Temperature sensor.
