We formalize ideas of orthogonality and inner products implicit in the development of a number of figures of merit (FOM) of color recording filters. We show that, in negligible measurement noise, the data dependence of each FOM based on linear color correction is equivalent to a choice of inner product (and hence of orthogonality). Further, we show that optimal sensors with respect to noise sen...

Precise temperature measurement is essential in a wide range of applications in the medical environment, however the regarding the problem of temperature measurement inside a simple incubator, neither a simple nor a low cost solution have been proposed yet. Given that standard temperature sensors don't satisfy the necessary expectations, the problem is not measuring temperature, but rather achi...

Using social networks to support knowledge management and collaboration in an organisation is an interesting approach. In our work of systems design we focus on awareness systems using mobile technologies, sensors and notification systems. Being aware of others’ activities and availability also make people more aware of the social networks in the organisation. My contribution to this workshop i...

One of the most discussed topics in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is the routing protocol used in the networks. These protocols largely affect the performance and the lifetime of the network as transmission of data uses a significant proportion of the total energy in WSNs. The sensors in WSNs run using batteries thereby making energy consumption an important design constraint for them. Over the...

This Study describes a six degree -of-freedom hybrid simulation for the optimum design of a space vehicle re entry flight control system, utilizing the E A I HYDAC ® 2400 Combined Hybrid Computing System. The specific purpose of the simulation is the evaluation of a temperature-rate flight control system (TRFCS) which utilizes temperature sensors to provide shortperiod stabilization and long te...

Increasing cardiac diseases is one of the major issues in the world; hence a review about the state-of-art technologies in cardiac monitoring has been presented. The paper provides a brief summary about the developments so far in three main factors of the device i.e. sensors used, the system design and the algorithm implemented in the design. It also gives us an idea about the possible future s...

An approach to the optimal design of dynamic force/torque sensors is presented. The approach is based on the system invertibility properties of the truncated normal modes representation of an elastic beam. Theoretical results are connrmed by experiment simulations.

Remote diagnostics technology is embedded into physical products in order to prevent breakdowns by monitoring the products’ condition via sensors. However, this technology also hides indirect possibilities to monitor the users. The aim of this paper is to explore how remote diagnostics technology changes surveillance and its ethical consequences by studying which surveillance dilemmas users and...
