Detection of Fuel Adulteration in Real Time Using Optical Fiber Sensor and Peripheral Interface Controller

Sensitivity Enhancement of Fiber Optic Diesel Adulteration Detection Sensor Using Stripped Clad SBend Section

A novel geometry for enhancing the sensitivity of intensity modulated refractometric fiber optic sensor for detection of adulteration level in diesel by kerosene is proposed. In this multimode plastic optical fiber is uncladded for specific length and bent into S shape. This geometry is simulated and analyzed using Beam Propagation Method in Beam prop RSOFT software. When sensor is immersed in ...

MEMS-based Handy Fuel Adulteration Detection Device

Adulteration of automobile fuels, especially petrol and diesel is a rampant malpractice in India. The most commonly found forms are—mixing kerosene in diesel and diesel in petrol. With the rising prices of fuel and the subsidy on kerosene, getting away with even 10-15% adulteration is immensely profitable. While less than 10% adulteration is financially unattractive, more than 30% is easily det...

Milk Adulteration with Melamine - Screening, Testing and Real-Time Detection

Melamine – Screening, Testing and Real-Time Detection The adulteration of protein-based food products with melamine is now a well-known issue. Five years ago, the increasing number of renal failures in dogs and cats alerted the authorities to a problem in the pet food supply chain. We now know this was due to the mixture of melamine and cyanuric acid found inside pet food1. These chemicals were...

Detection of Congenital Mullerian Anomalies Using Real-Time 3D Sonography

Real-time damage detection of bridges using adaptive time-frequency analysis and ANN

Although traditional signal-based structural health monitoring algorithms have been successfully employed for small structures, their application for large and complex bridges has been challenging due to non-stationary signal characteristics with a high level of noise. In this paper, a promising damage detection algorithm is proposed by incorporation of adaptive signal processing and Artificial...
