Abstract:
The subject discussed in this article concerns the determination of optimal sensor (pressure & temperature) configurations for polymer injection moulds. A sensor configuration is considered optimal when it is able to predict the product quality (dimension, warpage, etc.) with a good accuracy (from experimental data provided by these sensors). Initially, plastic engineers integrated sensors in moulds to acquire knowledge about their processes and to have better understanding of physical phenomenon. This article presents a numerical methodology to identify optimal combinations of sensors. The methodology is firstly based on polymer injection molding simulation to collect virtual sensor data. In a second step, virtual sensor data are analyzed by modern data-driven modeling techniques to identify optimal sensor configurations.

Abstract:
Machine learning is a powerful tool for data classification and has been used to classify movement data recorded by wearable inertial sensors in general living and sports. Inertial sensors can provide valuable biofeedback in combat sports such as boxing; however, the use of such technology has not had a global uptake. If simple inertial sensor configurations can be used to automatically classify strike type, then cumbersome tasks such as video labelling can be bypassed and the foundation for automated workload monitoring of combat sport athletes is set. This investigation evaluates the classification performance of six different supervised machine learning models (tuned and untuned) when using two simple inertial sensor configurations (configuration 1—inertial sensor worn on both wrists; configuration 2—inertial sensor worn on both wrists and third thoracic vertebrae [T3]). When trained on one athlete, strike prediction accuracy was good using both configurations (sensor configuration 1 mean overall accuracy: 0.90 ± 0.12; sensor configuration 2 mean overall accuracy: 0.87 ± 0.09). There was no significant statistical difference in prediction accuracy between both configurations and tuned and untuned models (p > 0.05). Moreover, there was no significant statistical difference in computational training time for tuned and untuned models (p > 0.05). For sensor configuration 1, a support vector machine (SVM) model with a Gaussian rbf kernel performed the best (accuracy = 0.96), for sensor configuration 2, a multi-layered perceptron neural network (MLP-NN) model performed the best (accuracy = 0.98). Wearable inertial sensors can be used to accurately classify strike-type in boxing pad work, this means that cumbersome tasks such as video and notational analysis can be bypassed. Additionally, automated workload and performance monitoring of athletes throughout training camp is possible. Future investigations will evaluate the performance of this algorithm on a greater sample size and test the influence of impact window-size on prediction accuracy. Additionally, supervised machine learning models should be trained on data collected during sparring to see if high accuracy holds in a competition setting. This can help move closer towards automatic scoring in boxing.

Abstract:
Capacitively coupled electrical impedance tomography (CCEIT) is a new kind of electrical resistance tomography (ERT) which realizes contactless measurement by capacitive coupling and extends traditional resistance measurement to total impedance measurement. This work investigates the performance of a CCEIT sensor with three different configurations, including the unshielded configuration, the shielded configuration A (the CCEIT sensor with the external shield) and the shielded configuration B (the CCEIT sensor with both the external shield and the radial screens). The equivalent circuit models of the measurement electrode pair of the CCEIT sensor with different configurations were developed. Additionally, three CCEIT prototypes corresponding to the three configurations were developed. Both the simulation work and experiments were carried out to compare various aspects of the three CCEIT prototypes, including the sensitivity distribution, the impedance measurement and the practical imaging performance. Simulation results show that shielded configurations improve the overall average sensitivity of the sensitivity distributions. Shielded configuration A contributes to improve the uniformity of the sensitivity distributions, while shielded configuration B reduces the uniformity in most cases. Experimental results show that the shielded configurations have no significant influence on the imaging quality of the real part of impedance measurement, but do make sense in improving the imaging performance of the imaginary part and the amplitude of impedance measurement. However, configuration B (with radial screens) has no significant advantage over configuration A (without radial screens). This work provides an insight into how shielding measures influence the performance of the CCEIT sensor, in addition to playing an important role in shielding unwanted noise and disturbances. The research results can provide a useful reference for further development of CCEIT sensors.

Abstract:
Abstract. Induction sensors are used in a wide range of scientific and industrial applications. One way to improve these is rigorous modelling of the sensor combined with a low voltage and current input noise preamplifier aiming to optimize the whole induction magnetometer. In this paper, we explore another way, which consists in the use of original ferromagnetic core shapes of induction sensors, which bring substantial improvements. These new configurations are the cubic, orthogonal and coiled-core induction sensors. For each of them we give modelling elements and discuss their benefits and drawbacks with respect to a given noise-equivalent magnetic induction goal. Our discussion is supported by experimental results for the cubic and orthogonal configurations, while the coiled-core configuration remains open to experimental validation. The transposition of these induction sensor configurations to other magnetic sensors (fluxgate and giant magneto-impedance) is an exciting prospect of this work.

Abstract:
Strain distributions were obtained from optical fibers arranged in three different configurations on transversely-loaded cantilevered beams. Traditional strain measurement sensors, such as strain gauges, are limited to measuring strain at discrete points on a structural member. However, distributed optical fibers can measure high spatial (<1 mm spacing) strain or temperature distributions. In this study, optical fibers in spiral, grid, and rosette configurations were bonded to aluminum cantilevered beams subjected to tip loads. Strain distributions from optical fiber sensors were measured using a swept wavelength coherent interferometric technique. The optical fiber strain measurements show good agreement with strain gauge measurements. The attributes of each sensor configuration are discussed.

Abstract:
Obtaining thermodynamic measurements using rotary-wing unmanned aircraft systems (rwUAS) requires several considerations for mitigating biases from the aircraft and its environment. In this study, we focus on how the method of temperature sensor integration can impact the quality of its measurements. To minimize non-environmental heat sources and prevent any contamination coming from the rwUAS body, two configurations with different sensor placements are proposed for comparison. The first configuration consists of a custom quadcopter with temperature and humidity sensors placed below the propellers for aspiration. The second configuration incorporates the same quadcopter design with sensors instead shielded inside of an L-duct and aspirated by a ducted fan. Additionally, an autopilot algorithm was developed for these platforms to face them into the wind during flight for kinematic wind estimations. This study will utilize in situ rwUAS observations validated against tower-mounted reference instruments to examine how measurements are influenced both by the different configurations as well as the ambient environment. Results indicate that both methods of integration are valid but the below-propeller configuration is more susceptible to errors from solar radiation and heat from the body of the rwUAS.

Abstract:
The effectiveness of sensor-based applications for smart homes and smart buildings is conditioned upon the deployment configuration of their underlying sensors. Real-world evaluation of alternative possible sensor-deployment configurations is labor-intensive, costly, and time-consuming, which implies the need for a simulation-based methodology. In this work, we report on such a methodology that supports the modeling of indoor spaces, the activities of their occupants, and the behaviors of different types of sensors. We argue that, in order for a simulation to be useful for the purpose of evaluating a sensor deployment configuration, it has to generate realistic event streams of individual sensors over time, as well as realistic compositions of sensor events within a time window. We have evaluated our simulator for smart indoor spaces, SIMsis toolkit, in the context of our Smart-Condo ambient-assisted living platform, supporting the observation and analysis of activities of daily living (ADLs). Our findings indicate that SIMsis produces realistic agent traces and sensor readings, and has the potential to support the process of developing and deploying sensor-based applications.

Abstract:
Recent navigation systems integrating GPS with Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) Inertial Measuring Units (IMUs) have shown promising results for several applications based on low-cost devices such as vehicular and personal navigation. However, as a trend in the navigation market, some applications require further reductions in size and cost. To meet such requirements, a MEMS full IMU configuration (three gyros and three accelerometers) may be simplified. In this context, different partial IMU configurations such as one gyro plus three accelerometers or one gyro plus two accelerometers could be investigated. The main challenge in this case is to develop a specific navigation algorithm for each configuration since this is a time-consuming and costly task. In this paper, a universal approach for processing any MEMS sensor configuration for land vehicular navigation is introduced. The proposed method is based on the assumption that the omitted sensors provide relatively less navigation information and hence, their output can be replaced by pseudo constant signals plus noise. Using standard IMU/GPS navigation algorithms, signals from existing sensors and pseudo signals for the omitted sensors are processed as a full IMU. The proposed approach is tested using land-vehicle MEMS/GPS data and implemented with different sensor configurations. Compared to the full IMU case, the results indicate the differences are within the expected levels and that the accuracy obtained meets the requirements of several land-vehicle applications.

Abstract:
The performance of a thermoelectric power generator for powering wireless sensor node has been studied and evaluated. This study covers the results obtained from two configurations of thermoelectric cell with heat source temperatures range from 40 to 230 °C. It was found that the highest output voltage is 9.08 V belong to configuration B with two parallel thermoelectric cells. This configuration was capable to power up sensor node compared to configuration A with the lowest heat source temperature at about 200 °C. To enhance the capability of the configurations, DC boost converter circuit has been developed and tested. By connecting to the DC boost converter, configuration A can power up the wireless sensor node with heat source temperature at about 220 °C while the minimum heat source temperature for configuration B was reduced from 200 to 170 °C. This study identified the optimum operation condition to power up wireless sensor node by thermoelectric power generator for remote application and make conclusion as to how to increase the performance of thermoelectric power generator by introducing DC boost converter.

Abstract:

In recent years there has been a significant increase in interest in smaller satellites as lower cost alternatives to traditional satellites, particularly with the rise in popularity of the CubeSat. Due to stringent mass, size, and often budget constraints, these small satellites rely on making the most of inexpensive hardware components and sensors, such as coarse sun sensors (CSS) and magnetometers. More expensive high-accuracy sun sensors often combine multiple measurements, and use specialized electronics, to deterministically solve for the direction of the Sun. Alternatively, cosine-type CSS output a voltage relative to the input light and are attractive due to their very low cost, simplicity to manufacture, small size, and minimal power consumption. This research investigates using coarse sun sensors for performing robust attitude estimation in order to point a spacecraft at the Sun after deployment from a launch vehicle, or following a system fault. As an alternative to using a large number of sensors, this thesis explores sun-direction estimation techniques with low computational costs that function well with underdetermined sets of CSS. Single-point estimators are coupled with simultaneous nonlinear control to achieve sun-pointing within a small percentage of a single orbit despite the partially underdetermined nature of the sensor suite. Leveraging an extensive analysis of the sensor models involved, sequential filtering techniques are shown to be capable of estimating the sun-direction to within a few degrees, with no a priori attitude information and using only CSS, despite the significant noise and biases present in the system. Detailed numerical simulations are used to compare and contrast the performance of the five different estimation techniques, with and without rate gyro measurements, their sensitivity to rate gyro accuracy, and their computation time. One of the key concerns with reducing the number of CSS is sensor degradation and failure. In this thesis, a Modified Rodrigues Parameter based CSS calibration filter suitable for autonomous on-board operation is developed. The sensitivity of this method's accuracy to the available Earth albedo data is evaluated and compared to the required computational effort. The calibration filter is expanded to perform sensor fault detection, and promising results are shown for reduced resolution albedo models. All of the methods discussed provide alternative attitude, determination, and control system algorithms for small satellite missions looking to use inexpensive, small sensors due to size, power, or budget limitations.

Abstract:
The objective of the presented research is to develop a novel, ink-jet printed, chipless, passive, wireless sensor topology, which can radiate in a near isotropic pattern without interference from embedded devices, for use in dispersed sensor networks. This objective includes the development of a hardware based, uniquely identifiable, collision avoidance communication method, and an integrated sensor system that is easily integrated into the topology. Wireless sensor networks can be and are used in military, medical and industrial applications; and the demand for them is ever growing. However, current sensor networks have various trade-offs and limitations, including cost, number of distinguishable nodes, and ease of manufacturing. These trade-offs lead to unique sensors needing to be designed for each situation. To develop a widely used module, a topology must be developed that can meet as many demands as possible with fair tradeoffs. Many of the above proposed criteria for the topology are already integrated into RFID technology. Therefore, much of the research is the application and advancement of current RFID technology for the purpose of designing the topology. The research begins with the theory and design of conformal artificial magnetic conductors, which is used in the design of a near isotropic radiator and isolated core for device embedding. Then, novel fabrication techniques will be investigated and deployed in the fabrication of the topology. Next, a novel "smart skin" sensor is developed which is easily integrated into the desired fabrication technique. Finally, an anti-collision RFID circuit for on-tag placement, which is based on frequency-doubling transceivers, is designed, which can also be easily integrated into the final topology. This module is designed for use with a variety of different sensors. This versatility gives it ruggedness for use in many different environments. For proof of concept, this topology is fabricated and tested against current commercially sold tags. Through the design and testing of the radiator, circuitry, and embedded sensors, it is shown that this design is a suitable topology for use in many different environments and applications.

The LPISimNet software tool provides the capability to quantify the performance of sensor network configurations by combining the information and physical domains. To combine the sensor network’s performance in a coherent context with a decision-maker, Boyd’s observe, orient, decide, act (OODA) loop is included along with its operational tempo. This thesis develops a new version of LPISimNet (LPISimNet(V)3) by correcting a code error and including a network comparison file. Additionally, this thesis evaluates the effects of different network configurations and size on the maximum operational tempo. Simulation results for a static network indicate that as the network size increases the rate at which decisions can be made declines. A prediction for further decline is presented based on the simulations. Also, dynamic network simulation results for a three-, four-, five-, and six-node network display the importance of node placement and network geometry to help offset network degradation due to range fluctuation between nodes. By surrounding the dynamic nodes of the network with static nodes, the maximum operational tempo can be bounded between an upper and lower limit, stabilizing the decision-making speed. Finally, the effect of electronic attack on the operational tempo is presented to display the robustness of a network.

Abstract:
Surface acoustic wave sensors have been a focus of active research for many years. Its ability to respond for surface perturbation is a basic principle for its sensing capability. Sensitivity to surface perturbation changes with every inter-digital transducer (IDT) design parameters, substrate selection, metallization choice and technique, delay line length and working environment. In this thesis, surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors are designed and characterized to improve sensitivity and reduce loss. To quantify the improvements with a specific design configuration, the sensors are employed to measure temperature. Four SAW sensors design configurations, namely bi-directional, split electrode, single phase unidirectional transducer (SPUDT) and metal grating on delay line (shear transvers wave sensors) are designed and then fabricated in Nanotechnology Research and Education Center (NREC) facility using traditional MEMS fabrication processes Additionally, sensors are then coated with guiding layer SU8-2035 of 40 m using spin coating and SiO2 of 6 m using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process. Sensors are later diced and tested for every 5oC increment using network analyzer for temperature ranging from 30oC–0.5oC to 80oC–0.5oC. Data acquired from network analyzer is analyzed using plot of logarithmic magnitude, phase and frequency shift. Furthermore, to investigate the effect of metallization technique on the sensor performance, sensors are also fabricated on substrates that were metallized at a commercial MEMS foundry. All in-house and outside sputtered sensor configurations are compared to investigate quality of sputtered metal on wafer. One with better quality sputtered metal is chosen for further study. Later sensors coated with SU8 and SiO2 as guiding layer are compared to investigate effect of each waveguide on sensors and determine which waveguide offers better performance. The results showed that company sputtered sensors have higher sensitivity compared to in-house sputtered wafers. Furthermore after comparing SU8 and SiO2 coated sensors in the same instrumental and environmental condition, it was observed that SU8 coated di-directional and single phase unidirectional transducer (SPUDT) sensors showed best response.

Abstract:

To simplify troubleshooting and reliability of a process, a diagnosis system can supervise the process and alarm if any faults are detected. A diagnosis system can also identify one, or several faults, i.e. isolate faults, that may have caused the alarm. If model-based diagnosis is used, tests based on observations from the process are compared to a model of the process to diagnose the process. It can be a hard task to find which tests to be used for maximal fault detection and fault isolation. Structural Methods require not very detailed knowledge of the process to be diagnosed and can be used to find such tests early in the design of new processes. Sensors are used to get observations of a process. Therefore, sensors placed on different positions in the process gives different possibilities for observations. A specific set of sensors are in this work called a sensor configuration.

This thesis contributes with a method to predict and examine the fault detection and fault isolation possibility. By using these two diagnosis properties, a suitable sensor configuration is computed and tests to be used in a future diagnosis system are suggested. For this task an algorithm which can be used in the design phase of diagnosis systems, and a Matlab implementation of this algorithm are described.

In one part of this work the Matlab implementation and the algorithm are used to study how a model-based diagnosis-system can be used to supervise the fuel system in an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).

Abstract:
Dans le cadre du traitement statistique du signal, la plupart des algorithmes couramment utilisés reposent sur l'utilisation de la matrice de covariance des signaux étudiés. En pratique, ce sont les versions adaptatives de ces traitements, obtenues en estimant la matrice de covariance à l'aide d'échantillons du signal, qui sont utilisés. Ces algorithmes présentent un inconvénient : ils peuvent nécessiter un nombre d'échantillons important pour obtenir de bons résultats. Lorsque la matrice de covariance possède une structure rang faible, le signal peut alors être décomposé en deux sous-espaces orthogonaux. Les projecteurs orthogonaux sur chacun de ces sous espaces peuvent alors être construits, permettant de développer des méthodes dites rang faible. Les versions adaptatives de ces méthodes atteignent des performances équivalentes à celles des traitements classiques tout en réduisant significativement le nombre d'échantillons nécessaire. Par ailleurs, l'accroissement de la taille des données ne fait que renforcer l'intérêt de ce type de méthode. Cependant, cet accroissement s'accompagne souvent d'un accroissement du nombre de dimensions du système. Deux types d'approches peuvent être envisagées pour traiter ces données : les méthodes vectorielles et les méthodes tensorielles. Les méthodes vectorielles consistent à mettre les données sous forme de vecteurs pour ensuite appliquer les traitements classiques. Cependant, lors de la mise sous forme de vecteur, la structure des données est perdue ce qui peut entraîner une dégradation des performances et/ou un manque de robustesse. Les méthodes tensorielles permettent d'éviter cet écueil. Dans ce cas, la structure est préservée en mettant les données sous forme de tenseurs, qui peuvent ensuite être traités à l'aide de l'algèbre multilinéaire. Ces méthodes sont plus complexes à utiliser puisqu'elles nécessitent d'adapter les algorithmes classiques à ce nouveau contexte. En particulier, l'extension des méthodes rang faible au cas tensoriel nécessite l'utilisation d'une décomposition tensorielle orthogonale. Le but de cette thèse est de proposer et d'étudier des algorithmes rang faible pour des modèles tensoriels. Les contributions de cette thèse se concentrent autour de trois axes. Un premier aspect concerne le calcul des performances théoriques d'un algorithme MUSIC tensoriel basé sur la Higher Order Singular Value Decomposition (HOSVD) et appliqué à un modèle de sources polarisées. La deuxième partie concerne le développement de filtres rang faible et de détecteurs rang faible dans un contexte tensoriel. Ce travail s'appuie sur une nouvelle définition de tenseur rang faible et sur une nouvelle décomposition tensorielle associée : l'Alternative Unfolding HOSVD (AU-HOSVD). La dernière partie de ce travail illustre l'intérêt de l'approche tensorielle basée sur l'AU-HOSVD, en appliquant ces algorithmes à configuration radar particulière: le Traitement Spatio-Temporel Adaptatif ou Space-Time Adaptive Process (STAP).

Abstract:
In factory automation cameras and image processing algorithms can be used to inspect objects. This can decrease the faulty objects that leave the factory and reduce manual labour needed. A vision sensor is a system where camera and image processing is delivered together, and that only needs to be configured for the application that it is to be used for. Thus no programming knowledge is needed for the customer. In this Master’s thesis a way to make the configuration of a vision sensor even easier is developed and evaluated. The idea is that the customer knows his or her product much better than he or she knows image processing. The customer could take images of positive and negative samples of the object that is to be inspected. The algorithm should then, given these images, configure the vision sensor automatically. The algorithm that is developed to solve this problem is described step by step with examples to illustrate the problems that needed to be solved. Much of the focus is on how to compare two configurations to each other, in order to find the best one. The resulting configuration from the algorithm is then evaluated with respect to types of applications, computation time and representativeness of the input images.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are expected to play an essential role in the upcoming age of pervasive computing. As a new research area, there are several open problems that need to be investigated. One such problem is configuration and management of WSNs. To deploy sensors efficiently in a wide area, we need to consider coverage, purpose and geographic situation. By considering these elements, we can make general deployment strategies. Another issue is management of various sensors in wide area. To handle these issues, we need approaches from different view, management levels, WSN functionalities, and management functional areas. In this thesis, I describe some of the key configuration and management problems in WSNs. Then, I present a newly developed application to address these problems.

The first is "modernity", because it focuses on the sectors of criminal liability of the doctor and the entrepreneur, those that have been most dramatically affected by social change and technological developments, straining to the limit the "classic" configuration of criminal law categories. The second is "case law", in the sense that we have sought to focus on the reality of living law and to investigate the concepts of the causality, blame and complicity of individuals as they are actually illustrated by precedents.

The Pictorial Art of El Greco: Transmaterialities, Temporalities, and Media investigates El Greco’s pictorial art as foundational to the globalising trends manifested in the visual culture of early modernity. It also exposes the figurative, semantic, and allegorical senses that El Greco created to challenge an Italian Renaissance-centered discourse. Even though he was guided by the unprecedented burgeoning of devotional art in the post-Tridentine decades and by the expressive possibilities of earlier religious artifacts, especially those inherited from the apostolic past, the author demonstrates that El Greco forged his own independent trajectory. While his paintings have been studied in relation to the Italian and Spanish school traditions, his pictorial art in a global Mediterranean context continues to receive scant attention. Taking a global perspective as its focus, the book sheds new light on El Greco’s highly original contribution to early Mediterranean and multi-institutional configurations of the Christian faith in Byzantium, Venice, Rome, Toledo, and Madrid.

Abstract:
<p>Recent architectural trends and technological developments have brought about unprecedented opportunities and exciting changes in the use of glass in buildings. <p>Structural engineers currently have a bewildering array of glass products and configurations to choose from and a wide range of normal and exceptional loading conditions to consider, but very few unified reference texts for undertaking these tasks. This book attempts to redress this issue by providing an overview of the recent developments in this field thereby providing a basis for the understanding of the structural performance and design of glass in buildings. <p>Each chapter draws on the latest developments in practice and research and contains contributions from various international glass experts. The mix of general and specialist content ranging from rules of thumb to fracture mechanics and novel applications to post-breakage performance make this book useful to practitioners and researchers. Furthermore, the text is supplemented by tables of the major codes of practice and by an extensive list of references. <p>The book is primarily for structural engineers and researchers who have an interest in structural glass. It will be used by senior undergraduates, post-graduate students, researchers and practicing engineers.

Abstract:
AbstractDynamic processes have always been of profound interest for scientists and engineers alike. Often, the mathematical models used to describe and predict time-variant phenomena are uncertain in the sense that governing relations between model parameters, state variables and the time domain are incomplete. In this paper we adopt a recently proposed algorithm for the detection of model uncertainty and apply it to dynamic models. This algorithm combines parameter estimation, optimum experimental design and classical hypothesis testing within a probabilistic frequentist framework. The best setup of an experiment is defined by optimal sensor positions and optimal input configurations which both are the solution of a PDE-constrained optimization problem. The data collected by this optimized experiment then leads to variance-minimal parameter estimates. We develop efficient adjoint-based methods to solve this optimization problem with SQP-type solvers. The crucial test which a model has to pass is conducted over the claimed true values of the model parameters which are estimated from pairwise distinct data sets. For this hypothesis test, we divide the data into k equally-sized parts and follow a k-fold cross-validation procedure. We demonstrate the usefulness of our approach in simulated experiments with a vibrating linear-elastic truss.

Abstract:
Abstract A methodology is presented for designing cost-effective optimal sensor and actuator configurations useful for structural model updating and health monitoring purposes. The optimal sensor and actuator configuration is selected such that the resulting measured data are most informative about the condition of the structure. This selection is based on an information entropy measure of the uncertainty in the model parameter estimates obtained using a statistical system identification methodology. The optimal sensor and actuator configuration is selected as the one that minimizes the information entropy. A discrete optimization problem arises which is solved efficiently using genetic algorithms. This study also addresses important issues related to robustness of the optimal sensor and actuator configuration to unavoidable uncertainties in the structural model, as well as issues related to the optimal sensor and actuator configurations designed to monitor multiple damage scenarios. The theoretical developments are illustrated by designing the optimal configuration for a 40-DOF two-dimensional truss structure subjected to an impulse hammer excitation.
