A highly selective copper (II) coated graphite sensor was prepared by 1,13-bis(8-quinolyl)- 1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatridecane (kryptofix 5) as a supramolecule ionophore into plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane. The best response characteristic was observed using the membrane composition of PVC = 30.0 mg, dioctyl sebacate (DOS) = 63.5 mg, palmitic acid (PA) = 3.0 mg and kryptofix 5 = 3.5 m...

A Wireless Sensor Network consists of several tiny devices which have the capability to sense and compute the environmental phenomenon. These sensor nodes are deployed in remote areas without any physical protections. A Wireless Sensor Network can have various types of anomalies due to some random deployment of nodes, obstruction and physical destructions. These anomalies can diminish the sensi...

recently different approaches have been developed in the field of sensor fault diagnostics based on auto-associative neural network (aann). in this paper we present a novel algorithm called self reconstructing auto-associative neural network (s-aann) which is able to detect and isolate single faulty sensor via reconstruction. we have also extended the algorithm to be applicable in multiple faul...

this paper presents design and construction of an automatic moldboard profilograph by substituting an optical sensor and a control system together with its evaluation. the modified profilograph is an electro mechanical apparatus in which a micro switch and a dc motor was replaced with an optical sensor and a control system for revolution of a dc motor. thereby, the considered surface is measure...

induction motors are the most commonly used in the traction industries and electric vehicles, due to their low primary cost, low maintenance costs, and good performance. speed identification is needed for the induction motor drives. however, using of speed sensors in the induction motor drives is associated with problems such as, extra cost, reduced reliability, added mounting space, etc.. ther...

Wireless sensor networks are composed of very small devices, called sensor nodes,for numerous applications in the environment. In adversarial environments, the securitybecomes a crucial issue in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). There are various securityservices in WSNs such as key management, authentication, and pairwise keyestablishment. Due to some limitations on sensor nodes, the previous k...

A new polyvinyl choloride (PVC) membrane sensor for cerium (III) was prepared based on 4,13-didecyl-1,7,10,16-tetraoxa-4,13-diazacyclooctadecane (kryptofix22DD) as an ionophore. The sensor exhibites a linear concentration range of 1.0×10-6 to 1.0×10-1 M, with a Nernstian slope of 18.0±1.0 mV/decade, and a detection limit of 9.7×10-7 M. It has a fast response tim...
