Lung cancer detection is one of the most important goals of medical diagnosis. To detect lung nodules usually classical X-ray and/or computed tomography (CT) images are used. The progression of the disease can be monitored if the doubling time of the volume of a pulmonary nodule is determined and followed, which means that the volume of a nodule has to be measured/estimated. To measure the nodule volume using classical X-ray images is almost impossible, while a CT-based diagnosis is rather expensive. Recently a new radiological image-based modality, digital tomosynthesis (DTS) has been developed. DTS can be considered as a 2.5D modality, where coronal slice images of a chest can be computed. The spatial resolution of a DTS image is much higher than that of a CT image, while the thickness of a slice is larger compared to a CT image. Thus DTS can also be used to determine lung nodule volumes although -because of the 2.5D reconstruction - volume estimation is a rather hard task. This paper proposes a new way for estimating nodule volume. The method was developed using an experimental database, which contains reconstructed images of 16 simulated small, elliptical nodules, placed into an anthropomorphic chest phantom, and was evaluated by a few real DTS images and an image base made from simulated projections from a public CT database.

This paper presents a method for path reconstruction from logged MEMS gyroscope and odometer measurements, through the estimation of the gyroscope bias from GPS data. The bias estimation is done by minimizing the distance between the reconstructed path and the external reference positions (GPS) by tuning the bias with common minimization methods. Both gradient based and quasi-Newton minimization methods are investigated. An efficient quaternion based mathematical model of the problem is presented. The path produced by the proposed method has higher spatial and temporal resolution than the GPS path, it is more accurate than a path from a purely inertial measurement unit and it is at least as accurate as the GPS path, according to real-life experiment.

Due to aging and degrading of insulation oil in power transformers, dissolved hydrogen, as a typical fault gas, would produce accompanied by discharges or overheating. Palladium (Pd) film deposited on the surface of chemically etched fiber Bragg grating (FBG) as sensing element by magnetron sputtering process is proposed in this paper. Volume expands when Pd film with 560nm thickness absorbs hydrogen molecules and wavelength shift caused by the strain could be measured. In this principle, hydrogen of low concentration can be obtained through wavelength shift of FBG. Different aspects have been taken into consideration including membrane thickness, polyimide coating and cladding diameter to obtain satisfactory sensitivity. Experimental results in the lab showed that this developed hydrogen could detect 30 μL/L at 1 pm approximately, which proved to be a prospective sensor as a on-line method to be utilized in power transformers.

The design of a new heavy duty gas turbine may imply the exploitation of well proven, as well as, of new sensing technologies and approaches. Nevertheless a key driving point in bringing on the market some innovation resides in the opportunity to implement a flexible sensing system able to optimize the existing compromise among performance, safety, reliability, availability and maintenance (RAMS) parameters. This problem can be solved addressing the possible fall back strategies in case of single or multiple sensors failures through reliability and availability modeling. In this paper, an approach on the modeling of actual sensor configuration dynamic apportionment is presented by means of phase diagrams representation, with the aim of evaluating the advantages and the drawbacks linked to the choice of a certain sensing configuration despite of the sensor technology and relying on failure modes and failure and repair rates knowledge. The simulation results are presented for three different possible sensors configurations on a selected sensor monitoring chain used in gas turbine systems.

Sand production in petroleum wells is a major concern for the petroleum industry. Sand production results in erosion of pipelines and damage to equipment which may lead to production shutdown and large economic losses. Detection of produced sand is important for optimizing flow rates and measuring the success of sand mitigation techniques. Recently, microwave nondestructive testing was considered as a potential new sensing solution for the detection of sand production. This paper presents preliminary simulations and measurements for such a sensing approach using open-ended waveguides. Different production scenarios are considered for a stratified flow regime. The results indicate that this sensing method can detect the presence of sand. Preliminary measurements are also presented for varying amounts of sand that further support the potential of this technique.

This paper describes a wireless data transmission technique using acoustic waves as the information carrier for on-line injection molding process measurements, including melt temperature, pressure, velocity and viscosity. A design scheme of the optimization of the input electrical impedance matching with the transmission system of the multivariate sensor based on the bond graph modeling approach is proposed. Bond graph models of each constituent component within the transmission system are established, where parameters regarding the properties of the piezo-material, layer thickness, and input electrical impedance could be manipulated easily. The effects of different combinations of capacitor and inductor that constitute the input electrical circuit are investigated. An optimal combination for electrical impedance matching is determined through bond graph simulation. This optimal solution improves the design of sensor circuits with the capability of generating the highest output gain or increasing the transmission distance under the same electrical excitation, meanwhile ensuring that the received signal has high signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) for further parameter retraction. Bond graphing has been shown as an effective approach for guiding the design of complex, cross-domain, and embedded sensing systems.

Resistive potentiometric type displacement sensors suffer wear and tear due to the sliding contact. The wear and tear can be reduced considerably by using a floating, contactless slide. The coupling capacitor that arises due to the use of a floating slide makes it difficult to obtain an output that linearly varies with the displacement. A signal conditioning circuit presented in this work operates on a resistive potentiometer type displacement sensor element with a floating slide and provides an output that is directly proportional to the displacement of the slide. Apart from the displacement, the output from the signal conditioning circuit depends only on a couple of dc reference voltages thus ensuring a good degree of accuracy and linearity. The results obtained from simulation studies and experimentation performed on a prototype unit built and tested establishes the efficacy of the proffered method.

The feasibility of generating tomographic images of objects inside crude oil is investigated in this paper. Crude oil in the visible spectrum usually appears as black oil. Nevertheless, in the mid-infrared range, crude oil presents bands of high transmission. These windows of opportunities are explored to obtain data for generating cross-section images. In this paper, a first generation tomograph (containing one radiation source and one detector) is setup and applied to visualize objects inside a typical crude oil sample from a Brazilian reservoir. Reconstructed images based on standard filtered back-projection algorithm for phantom measurements show very promising results.

Detection of train integrity is a very important research matter affecting safety and more generally railway engineering. Actually the ETCS Level 1 and 2 provide the train integrity and localization functionalities by using track circuits and/or axle counter systems: the problem of these solutions is represented by the high cost of track circuit and axle counter installation, taking into account even the related equipment management. This paper shows the study, design and realization of an innovative method to detect the train integrity, by using the wireless technology. the reference scenario is referred to ERTMS / ETCS (European Rail Traffic Management System / European Train Control System), which defines the modalities for the exchange of signalling information between the track side and on board rail vehicle. In particular, reference is made to a ground subsystem (SST) that implements the ETCS Level 3 only. The designed wireless system is referred to a general freight train that don't have the electric energy on board or at least a low power of energy: for each wagon a logic of vehicle has been implemented to manage the information, instead the communication between neighbouring wagons has been managed by a wireless loop communication, standardized by the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The definition of a board logic to realize the train integrity represents an innovation respect the actual state of art technology, that does not consider this thematic. At the end, a graphic interface has been developed so as to verify the functionality and the diagnostic characteristics of the proposed control logic.

The availability of condition monitoring data for large sets of homogeneous products (in the following referred as a fleet) motivates the development of new data-driven prognostic algorithms. In this paper, an intuitive and an innovative data-driven algorithm to predict the health and, consequently, the Residual Useful Lifetime (RUL) of a product are proposed. The algorithm is based on the extraction and exploitation of knowledge at a fleet level. The fleet-specific usage and the degradation profile are extracted by statistically analyzing the condition monitoring data of all the products that's belongs to the fleet. The extracted knowledge, in terms of statistical distribution of health condition and sampling time, is then exploited to predict the health and RUL of a product in the fleet. The algorithm described in this paper is able to predict the RUL of a product with a good credibility even for observation window lengths that are smaller compared to the lifetime of the product.
