In recent years, the use of solar technology as an alternative to conventional methods of electricity generation has increased. However, they have low conversion efficiency; one way to increase energy production is by using Solar Tracking Systems (STS), which cause energy expenditure. Monitoring systems are required to calculate the energy balance between produced and consumed. In this research, the design and implementation from a concurrent approach of an embedded system for energy monitoring in solar applications is presented, obtaining a low energy consumption, high connectivity, scalable, modular, and open architecture system. Experimental tests were carried out considering five proposed energy-saving strategies. These tests recorded the energy consumption of actuators, electronic hardware, and generated power, resulting in a 16.47% increase in the energy budget and a reduction in the global power consumption of 7.27%. Notably, the developed embedded system exhibited a low energy consumption of 0.326Wh.
Air pollution is a critical contributor to the global climate change crisis and poses severe threats to human health worldwide. In this context, this paper introduces an innovative multi-sensor air quality monitoring (AQM) device designed to address the critical challenge of atmospheric pollution in urban environments. The AQM device features an optimized geometry specifically suited for mobility. It enables precise air quality (AQ) monitoring by measuring concentrations of NO2, O3, and CO, along with particulate matter (PM) across three size categories: PM1, PM2.5, and PM10. The AQM device ensures reliable operation across temperature variations from 10°C to 40°C and humidity levels ranging from 10% to 70%. Outdoor experiments were conducted in the city of Marseille to validate the efficiency of the AQM device and assess its ability to provide street-level air quality data. The AQM device was validated by comparing its measurements with data from four reference instruments (i.e., government-operated fixed stations) located within an 8 km radius of the center of Marseille. Real-time data is made available through a dedicated software server platform, offering geo-localized air quality information and detailed reports. The developed device offers excellent autonomy, with a full battery discharge lasting up to 28 hours, allowing it to be used throughout an entire day without the need for recharging. The proposed multi-sensor device was developed in the scope of the SMILE project (Self-calibrating air pollution Multi-sensors and ICDT platform to Leverage citizen’s Empowerment). The project aims to empower end users with the responsibility of carrying, activating, and monitoring their own sensor devices while utilizing specialized apps on their mobile phones.

This study introduces a novel single-hole, dual-core suspended fiber optic sensor that integrates the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect and the Mach-Zehnder interference (MZI) principle, enabling the simultaneous monitoring of both salinity and temperature in seawater. The sensor comprises of two segments of multimode fiber (MMF) and a segment of single-hole dual-core suspended fiber (SHTSCF), where the surface-sputtered gold film (Au) on the SHTSCF segment excites the SPR effect for salinity detection; while the MMF and SHTSCF segments together form an MZ interference structure for temperature detection, effectively solving the crosstalk problem between salinity and temperature measurements. The experimental findings reveal that the sensor exhibits a salinity sensitivity of 0.5186 nm/‰ within the salinity bracket of 5‰ –40‰, and a temperature sensitivity of 0.1263 nm/°C across the temperature spectrum of 5°C– 50 ∘ C. The maximum temperature and salinity fluctuations caused by the sensor under different temperature and salinity conditions are 3.2 ∘ C and 1.38 ‰ , respectively, indicating that it has good stability. Moreover, a crosstalk effect of −0.149 nm/°C is observed between temperature and salinity measurements. This SPR sensor demonstrates excellent stability, repeatability, and reliability, with a compact structure, providing a new technological pathway for the synchronous monitoring of dual parameters in seawater.
In recent years, real-time monitoring of pollutants in flue gas emissions from industrial and transportation sectors has gained significant attention due to rising environmental concerns and the implementation of pollutant capture technologies. Despite these advancements, existing systems often fail to accurately measure pollutant concentrations in high-temperature flue gases with sufficient temporal resolution. To overcome these limitations, we present a compact and power-efficient flue gas monitoring system capable of simultaneously tracking 15 vital air quality parameters, including CO2, O2, particulate matter (PM1.0, PM2.5, PM4.0, and PM10), temperature, humidity, volatile organic compound (VOC) index, CH4, CO, NO, NO2, SO2, and H2S, with reliable spatial and temporal resolutions. Central to the system is a modular precooling unit, which reduces flue gas temperatures from approximately 150 ∘ C to within 30 ∘ C– 45 ∘ C, enabling sensors to function optimally under thermal stress. To validate the robustness and discrimination capability of the system, field experiments were conducted by monitoring emissions from coal and torrefied biomass combustion in an industrial-scale boiler. The results demonstrate that average CO2 emission from coal combustion reaches approximately 618 ppm, which is 1.43× higher than those observed from biomass. Additionally, the power analysis of the system reveals an average current consumption of 0.0385 A, which can support the continuous operation for nearly six days using a 5000-mAh battery. The proposed system offers a scalable, cost-effective alternative to bulky commercial analyzers, with strong potential for deployment in industrial emission monitoring, environmental sensing, and smart infrastructure applications.

The system positions airbags at five key body regions to form a mattress and transmits the real-time data to a PC via an air pressure sensors module. Furthermore, the system employs a closed-loop control mechanism to optimize support distribution via real-time pressure monitoring and local air pressure adaptation, thereby enhancing sleep quality.
Observations of air pollution have become an increasing concern for authorities and citizens due to emissions from population growth and urbanization. In this regard, low-cost wireless sensor networks (LWSNs) have emerged as a popular, cost-effective solution for monitoring and estimation of air-pollutant levels in local areas. Due to environmental vulnerability, ensuring the required performance and reliability of these sensing devices remains an open problem. This article presents the development of a dependable Dempster-Shafer inference (DDSI) framework based on evidence theory for colocated low-cost sensors for air quality monitoring. This approach facilitates fault detection and accounts for uncertainty to enhance the performance of the sensor network. A switching mechanism is employed in the inference layer to select the most reliable information based on the probability of the current operational status of sensors, thereby leveraging the resilience and data integrity of the monitoring system. The proposed method is comprehensively validated in both laboratory and real-world settings. The DDSI framework is then tested in monitoring humidity, temperature, and particulate matters (PMs) in the suburbs. The results are benchmarked with data collected from state-run air quality monitoring stations (AQMSs). Statistical analysis is conducted to show the accuracy of the proposed framework and a high alignment with station observations, achieving an R2 of up to 0.918 for meteorological parameters and 0.892 for fine particles (PM2.5).

The coffee industry has experienced significant expansion in recent years, driven by increasing demand for high-quality coffee. The quality of coffee beans is conventionally evaluated using extraction procedures that emphasize sensory characteristics such as crema, body, and heart. This paper proposes a novel approach to evaluate coffee beans quality by utilizing gas sensors to measure the degassing process of coffee beans.

Extensive experiments show that our proposed architecture outperforms both MVX-Net and PointPillars for the pedestrian class in the KITTI 3D object detection dataset, with 62.78% in APBEV (moderate difficulty), while also outperforming MVX-Net in the nuScenes dataset. Moreover, experiments were conducted to measure the detection performance based on object distance. The performance of M-PP surpassed other methods in pedestrian detection at any distance, particularly for faraway objects (more than 30 meters). Qualitative analysis shows that M-PP visibly outperformed MVX-Net for pedestrians and cyclists, while simultaneously making accurate predictions of cars.
Lower-limb amputations pose significant challenges, with over 150000 cases annually in U.S., leading to a high demand for effective prosthetics. However, only 43% of lower-limb prosthetic users report satisfaction, primarily due to issues with socket fit, which is critical for comfort, stability, and preventing injury. This study presents a novel and deployable sensing system for potentially real-time monitoring of prosthetic socket fit by using pressure sensors and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to analyze the pressure distribution within the socket. Two CNN-based strategies were implemented, namely, a long-term time series analysis and a single time step representation. The system was designed for edge deployment on the Sony Spresense microcontroller, maintaining a small model size while achieving high accuracy. Results show that the CNN models, particularly those optimized with the stochastic gradient descent (SGD), demonstrated robustness and high transferability. This system provides a cost-effective, portable solution to improve prosthetic fit, enhancing patient care and preventing gait-related injuries.
The analysis of biological fluids, particularly exhaled breath (EB), offers a promising noninvasive approach for early disease diagnosis by detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Traditional techniques like gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), while sensitive, are limited by high costs and complexity. This study explores the application of temperature modulation (TM) to enhance the performance of metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensors in identifying and quantifying VOCs in complex mixtures. Using a custom-built electronic nose (eNose) system equipped with four MOS gas sensors and a square-triangular TM pattern, mixtures of three VOCs, namely acetone, isopropanol, and toluene, were analyzed across three concentration ranges. Sensible parameters extracted from each sensor response were used to discriminate VOCs and concentrations by random forest (RF) classifier achieving an accuracy of 91%, precision of 91%, recall of 89%, and F1 -score of 89% in classifying the mixtures. Feature re-mapping coupled with a CatBoost classifier leveraging individual VOC analysis reduced the experimental burden and achieved an 84% classification accuracy. These findings demonstrate that TM combined with an address key challenges in complex gas mixture analysis, advancing the potential of portable eNose systems for clinical diagnostics.

Safety-critical scenarios for autonomous vehicle testing have been rare in the real world. However, virtual simulation technology can provide numerous and diverse testing scenarios. Various effective methods can be employed to generate unknown safety scenarios and determine dangerous scenarios for tested autonomous vehicles. To meet time-varying safety-critical scenario construction requirements for virtual testing of autonomous vehicles, this study proposes a data-model-driven method for generating the edge cases of high-risk lane-changing scenarios. The trajectory time generative adversarial network named the Traj-TimeGAN is proposed to generate emergency lane-changing trajectories based on data from HighD dataset. In addition, a safety distance-based constraint model is designed to define the safety boundary and generate the initial state of a tested autonomous vehicle. Further, a generalization generation method is developed to generate many risk-critical scenario edge cases, and a lane-changing scenario dataset is constructed. The proposed method is verified by experiments, and the average root-mean-square error for 520,000 generated emergency trajectories is 1.9×10−3, indicating a high similarity between generated and real trajectories. Based on the results, in 99.93% of the 520,000 generated risk-critical lane-changing edge cases, the absolute value of time to collision (TTC) between the tested automated vehicle and the lane-changing background vehicle is less than 1 s. Finally, the results show that the proposed method can effectively generate high-risk lane-changing edge cases for autonomous vehicle testing.

Here we are introducing a new concept called endangering, to minimize the power theft in electrical power distribution. In this concept, if any malfunctioning occurs, then the power supply of all authenticated users are shut down by use of relays and in the meantime high voltage is passed over through the transmission line of that particular area, which will damage the equipment’s of the unauthorized power users. For a given region, the power theft is detected by continuously computing the difference between transformer’s output power and the power consumed by the authorised users. The receiver module is placed in the main power station to continuously monitor all authorized users power consumption pattern. In addition, it provides instant billing along with complain booking. The proposed power theft detection scheme ensures effective use of power by authorized personnel.

Rapid expansion in the quantity and variety of solid and hazardous waste because of ongoing economic development, urbanization, and industrialization is posing a growing challenge for national and municipal governments to ensure efficient and long-term waste management. As reported by the Global trash Management Market Report 2007, the total amount of municipal solid trash produced globally in 2006 was anticipated to be 2.02 billion tons, a rise of 7% annually since 2003.To reduce the risk to patient and public health and safety, as well as environmental risk, waste management, transportation, and disposal must be carefully handled.

Experimental findings demonstrate that the WSR has successfully integrated the separation of waste into moist and dry waste. Send an alert to the person in-charge for various issues such as trash level capacity, presence of foul smell and relocation of the system.

Trains are well known as a reliable, affordable, and speedy means of transportation in metropolitan cities in India and around the globe. Though convenient and ever popular, train accidents in India are often blamed on human mistake. With the speed of trains high and the latency in human intervention, it is always a major task to prevent such crashes. This study suggests a proactive method of minimizing railway accidents by using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. The main goal of the suggested system is to forecast possible train collisions and notify the central control room or train drivers prior to an accident. There are few mechanisms in place to avoid train crashes at present, and thus the use of an advanced Anti-Collision Device (ACD) system is essential. The suggested train collision avoidance system combines RFID technology, Zigbee communication, machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI) to improve railway safety. Every locomotive has an automated monitoring system, and the railway network is segmented into two-kilometer sections, each having a unique track number. RFID tags placed on the trains are scanned by onboard RFID scanners, and this information is processed by an AI system to check for the existence of other trains on the same path. When there is a possible collision, the system sends alarms to train controllers through Zigbee, and an automatic braking system is activated to halt the crash. This advanced system offers real-time collision detection and avoidance, vastly enhancing railway safety and minimizing the possibility of train collisions.
