New insights suggest that the most efficient FIR digital filters can be created by using a scaled sequence of stages, each representing a factor of the filter’s transfer function. A crucial capability…
This paper presents an experimental study of silicone rubber polymeric insulators for 11kV systems using a Rotating Wheel Dip Test (RWDT) based on IEC 62730:2012. The primary aim of this study is…
The paper presents an Actuation Control Unit (ACU) for mechatronic applications with embedded energy storage to face safety critical applications. The idea is ensuring full operation also in case of…
We present optical properties of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) thin films. A high quality Al2O3 films fabricated by sol-gel (dip-coating) method were grown on quartz substrates at temperature equal to 25 °C…
In this work, we propose a PCF-cavity FBG Fabry-Perot resonator for simultaneous sensing of temperature and pressure. The proposed device is constructed by splicing a 1.5 mm long PCF segment…
This work studies how visual analysis tasks based on feature extraction can be speeded up in the context of Visual Sensor Networks. The main catch is for the camera node…
A miniaturized fiber tip Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) with Pt/WO3 coating was demonstrated as a hydrogen sensor. The air-cavity of FPI was formed by inserting a single mode fiber into a…
Pervasive applications and services are increasingly based on the intelligent interpretation of data gathered via heterogeneous sensors dipped in the environment. Classical Machine Learning (ML) techniques often do not go beyond a…
We report on a curvature sensor based on a long-period grating in a dual-concentric-core fiber. By measuring the relative shifting of two adjacent resonant dips, the curvature sensitivity reaches 7.635 nm/m−1.
Electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) techniques have been developed to visualize industrialprocesses with dielectric materials. Phase sensitive demodulation is a key part of ECT system to improve speed and accuracy. Methods of…
