Networked control systems have been widely used in Industrial Automation since the latter part of the 20st century. Such networks have evolved from small systems with proprietary and slow Fieldbus technology to a much ...

The response of screen-printed thick-films of NiO/TiO2 to organic solvent vapours was studied. It was found that these films displayed a significant resistance change in response to the vapours even at room temperature. ...

This paper describes a new low-cost,  low-noise displacement current sensor developed for non-contact measurements of human biopotentials and well suited for detection of human presence applications. The sensor employs a ...

Hemoglobin (Hb) is an important component of red blood cells. The primary function of Hb is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues and to carry carbon dioxide back to the lungs from the body tissues. The ...

The main problem in extending continuous-time filtering to higher frequencies is the sensitivity of high-frequency filters to analog integrator nonidealities such as finite dc gain and parasitic poles. The use of a ...

The quality of the communication between instructors and students has been shown to be one of the key factors in the quality of the learning experience of students. However, as is often the case in higher education, ...

This article is focused on reviewing the current state-of-the-art of optical fibre pressure sensors for medical applications. Optical fibres have inherent advantages due to their small size, immunity to electromagnetic ...

Health monitoring applications in clinical environment include various areas such as respiration assessment, heart rate monitoring, gait monitoring, spine bending as well as lower and upper limb motion detections. In human ...

In this thesis, the development of a novel fibre optic sensor for measuring X-ray radiation in radiotherapy is investigated. The proposed sensor is based on utilising PMMA optical fibres which are coated with an X-ray ...
