Sensor

rapid advancements in science and technology has enabled us to live independently much longer. With these scientific advancements comes the concept of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL). The Ambient Assisted Living provides a system comprising of medical sensors, wireless networks, computer and software applications for healthcare monitoring. The main aim of AAL is to extend the number of years which elderly people can live independently in an environment of their own preference. As obvious, with…

Helicopter The AC-130 Gunship has a wide variety of uses. The Ac-130 Gunship is a heavily armed, long endurance ground-attack variant of the C-130 Hercules. It carries a wide array of anti-ground oriented weapons that are integrated with sophisticated sensors, navigation, and fire systems. It also relies on visual targeting. Despite all the armor and weapons, it is still an easy target given it only flies at about 7,000 feet. These planes can carry large amounts of cargo or even larger artillery…

Incumbent identifies and modifies portfolio requirements as necessary for sensor and information sharing systems that are part of the DHS Domain Awareness Network. Incumbent designs the architecture and develops the implementation plan to increase the coverage volume, probability detection, detection range, detection in clutter…

this location, the tills were too short for the size of the till slot. A technician was dispatched twice (once Tuesday evening, and again Wednesday morning) to fix the issue—each time he seemed to be instructed that using electrical tape over the sensor which reads that a till is in the slot (to elongate it) was the only solution available at the time. After the technician left Wednesday morning, the trainer received a call from Robert LeWinters instructing him on the adjustments which needed…

Then attach the cart to the force sensor with a string around 10cm. Tape the masses onto the cart to prevent its slipping. Measure the weight of the whole cart system to calculate the normal force. Then use the force sensor to pull the car slowly and carefully in a constant velocity. Let the sensor record the data while pulling the cart and creates a Force vs Time graph in the Capstone. Repeat 5 trials for each different…

Figure (‎2 2) The electromagnetic spectrum, (Tantirimudalige, 2002) 2.2.3. Types of remote sensing Remote sensing can be classified according to either energy source or sensor type into passive or active systems. Active systems have their own source of energy such as microwaves (radar), whereas the passive systems depend upon external source of illumination, such as sun or self-emission of the observed object. Also remote…

Chapter 3 Process description and modeling 3.1 Process Description of Propylene Glycol Production Process The physical properties of propylene glycol are colourless and clear syrupy liquid when exists at room temperature. Besides than in liquid form, it also may exists in vapor form in air. In order to produce a colourless and odourless chemical, propylene glycol (C3H8O2, PG) involve in the reaction of propylene oxide and water. This involve the process of the hydrolysis of propylene oxide…

The mini torsion device that will be designed for this senior design project will apply a torsional load to a small cylindrical sample with a diameter of 5 mm or 6 mm. The device will need to fit under an optical microscope and will not be able to exceed the weight limits of the sample stage on the optical microscope so that Raman microscopy can be performed on the sample while it is under a torsional load. The device will also need to collect data and calculate the angle of twist of the sample.…

Therefore, companies are able to purchase sufficient quantity of goods for the increasing needs. IoT can also use for the product return or exchange. With the sensor installed at the mailbox, people can track their order status; for the return or exchange condition, people can also send the message to inform logistic companies to come and pick up the goods. Today’s transportation also got influence by the Internet of Things. With the connected devices, the industry is changing to be smarter,…

In this study, multiwalled carbon nanotubes@poly(p-phenylenediamine)-prussian blue (MWCNTs@PpPD-PB) nanocomposites were synthesized and used for the nonenzymatic electrochemical detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The PpPD layer also helps the MWCNTs to be dispersed in the water together with the PB formation and fixing on the surface of the MWCNTs. Moreover, PpPD, a conductive polymer, increases the electronic conductivity and stability of MWCNTs. By combining the selectivity and catalytic…
