Muscle Sensor Model Using Small Scale Optical Device for Pattern Recognitions

A new sensor system for measuring contraction and relaxation of muscles by using a PANDA ring resonator is proposed. The small scale optical device is designed and configured to perform the coupling effects between the changes in optical device phase shift and human facial muscle movement, which can be used to form the relationship between optical phase shift and muscle movement. By using the O...

Energy based collaborative source localization using acoustic micro-sensor array

A novel sensor network source localization method based on acoustic energy measurements is presented. This method makes use of the characteristics that the acoustic energy decays inversely with respect to the square of distance from the source. By comparing energy readings measured at surrounding acoustic sensors, the source location during that time interval can be accurately estimated as the ...

Exploring accuracy of statistical characterization of gravel beds using Kinect device in the laboratory scale

Mountainous river beds-generally consist of gravel particles that the precise description of such bed is not only important hydraulically, but also it has great environmental significance. The accurate estimation of bed roughness gives us valuable information to make reliable hydraulic models of flow in river with rigorous bed form. This study discuses about the accuracy of the Kinect device in...

Acoustically induced micro-scale capillary wave turbulence

The theory of non-linear wave interactions leading to so-called interfacial wave turbulence, where a broadband distribution of capillary wave phenomena may be induced by a monofrequency oscillator, is well known, but experimental results are rare. In particular, it is challenging to set up a physical system where both capillary wave amplitudes are easy to measure and capillary forces dominate g...
