Monitoring osseointegrated prosthesis loosening and fracture using electrical capacitance tomography

Electrical Capacitance Tomography System

Electrical Capacitance Tomography is a non intruding technique used in industries. It is based on measuring the capacitance of multi-electrode ECT sensor produced by the change in dielectricity or due to change in concentration of material. With the use of computed values, a cross sectional image of the material placed in the dielectric medium is obtained. ECT system can be used in chemical fie...

Electrical Capacitance Volume Tomography: Design and Applications

This article reports recent advances and progress in the field of electrical capacitance volume tomography (ECVT). ECVT, developed from the two-dimensional electrical capacitance tomography (ECT), is a promising non-intrusive imaging technology that can provide real-time three-dimensional images of the sensing domain. Images are reconstructed from capacitance measurements acquired by electrodes...

Liquid Film Thickness Estimation using Electrical Capacitance Tomography

In air/oil lubrication systems, the flow parameters, e.g., flow pattern, liquid film thickness, and air/oil flow rate, are of great importance to the transportation efficiency. In most cases, the on-going two-phase flow is annular flow with the oil moving along the tube wall and the air travelling at high speed in the center. This usually results in the formation of a thin oil film, the thickne...

Mass Flow Measurement of Biofuels using Electrical Capacitance Tomography

Biomass provides 10% of the global energy supply and electricity generation from biomass and waste is expected to increase by a factor of 4 by 2030. Currently efficiency of biomass power generation is poor and IEA targets improvements from 18% to 25% by 2030 [1]. Such increases in efficiency will require significant new technology and accurate real-time measurement of the flow of these highly v...
