The calibration of temperature sensors with different tolerances is investigated to evaluate the effect of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on the performance of a PCR chip. Two types of thermis ... Read More

The titanium nitride–aluminum oxide–silicon nitride–silicon oxide–silicon devices with a high-k aluminum oxide as a charge-blocking layer (TANOS) could be candidates for nonvolatile total ... Read More

In this paper, we present a queue-state-based parent selection (QSPS) algorithm for large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which is designed to alleviate packet loss caused by traffic conce ... Read More

Full-duplex (FD) communication is a promising technology for increasing the wireless capacity of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for Internet of Things (IoT) services. However, the theoretical th ... Read More

For optical image stabilization (OIS) and autofocusing (AF) camera modules, power efficiency and size are two of the most important characteristics. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a novel v ... Read More

In this paper, we investigate the model of multicamera, multisensor surveillance networks. To accomplish context awareness in wide area surveillance, several reasoning agents are distributed to a ... Read More

Based on Internet and ZigBee wireless sensor networks, in this paper, we describe a novel power-monitoring system architecture that makes the mobile deployment of power-monitoring points quite ea ... Read More

Footprints found at a crime scene are very difficult to use to narrow the scope of identifying a suspect or to clarify the direction of an investigation. 3D scanning (microscopic), which could be ... Read More

In this paper, we present a low-noise CMOS temperature sensor with an on-chip digital calibration circuit. The low-voltage bandgap reference circuit is designed to generate current proportional t ... Read More

Highly efficient data computation and transmission are necessary to implement the high-performance analysis of real-time neural signals. In a previous study, a zero-crossing feature (ZCF) was pro ... Read More

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a wireless network consisting of spatially distributed autonomous devices using sensor nodes in a wide range of applications. However, the reliability of a WSN ... Read More

In this study, we developed a contact-type fiber-optic temperature sensor (CFOTS) for remote and real-time measurements of water temperature. The CFOTS consisted of a sensing probe, a transmittin ... Read More

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are bio-electrochemical transducers that produce electrical energy by the decomposition of organic matter with the aid of microorganisms. Through the transfer of elect ... Read More

In this paper, we propose a new haptic telepresence system for individuals with visual impairments (VIs) using a red-green-blue-depth (RGB-D) sensor and a haptic device. Recent improvements in RG ... Read More

People seek a comfortable and safe living environment, but accidents such as home invasions, gas leaks, and fire often occur in our environment. Thus, a security system for disaster prevention an ... Read More

Research on the center of gravity (COG) of the body has wide applications in academic, medical, and other related fields. However, common devices are bulky, expensive, or inconvenient. In additio ... Read More
