In this paper, a guided wave temperature robust PCA-based stress monitoring methodology is proposed. It is based on the analysis of the longitudinal guided wave propagating along the path under stress. Slight changes in the wave are detected by means of PCA via statistical T 2 and Q indices. Experimental and numerical simulations of the guided wave propagating in material under different temper...

During the SARS outbreak, temperature monitoring was mandatory for all Singapore schoolchildren. None of the Singapore children with SARS were detected through school temperature screening. However, temperature monitoring procedures have a powerful psychological effect of reassuring parents and the public that schools are safe during a SARS outbreak.

In this paper we present the design of a wearable temperature sensing device for remote neonatal monitoring. It is designed for continuous and real-time monitoring of the infants in remote rural areas, for the first few weeks after their birth. It is capable of sensing the neonate’s skin temperature with 0.1◦ C accuracy to detect the early onset of hypothermia. The sensed data is transferred se...

T he major reason for monitoring intraoperative temperature is for detection of fever, malignant hyperthermia, and hypothermia. Inadvertent hypothermia-defined by an absolute core temperature <36”C-is by far the most common perioperative thermal disturbance. However, hypothermia may be difficult to evaluate using liquid-crystal thermography, because skin temperatures are l-4°C less than core te...

Temperature distribution is a critical indicator of the health condition for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) storage tanks. In this paper, we present a large-scale wireless temperature monitoring system to evaluate the safety of LPG storage tanks. The system includes wireless sensors networks, high temperature fiber-optic sensors, and monitoring software. Finally, a case study on real-world LPG s...

BACKGROUND Initial postoperative core temperature is a physician and hospital performance measure. However, the extent to which core temperature changes during emergence from anesthesia and transport from the operating room to the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) remains unknown. Similarly, the accuracy of many noninvasive temperature-monitoring methods used in the PACU has yet to be quantified....

PDMS micro-sensors coated onto an electrical wire are used to measure dynamic temperature variation at cryogenic range based on optical whispering-gallery mode (WGM) frequency shift principle. We designed a lab cryogenic cell via filling liquid nitrogen to create a stable low temperature down to 95K. The electrical wire is current carrying to simulate a working electrical/electronic component/d...
