基于MF-R和AWS密钥管理机制的物联网健康监测大数据分析系统

带有传感器的可穿戴式医疗设备不断生成大量数据，由于数据的复杂性，难以通过处理和分析大数据来找到有价值的决策信息。为了解决这个问题，提出了一种新的物联网体系结构，用于存储和处理医疗应用的可扩展传感器数据（大数据）。所提出的架构主要由两个子架构组成：Meta Fog重定向（MF-R）架构和AWS密钥管理机制。MF-R架构使用Apache Pig和Apache HBase等大数据技术来收集和存储不同传感器设备生成的传感器数据，并利用卡尔曼滤波消除噪声。AWS密钥管理机制使用密钥管理方案，目的是保护云中的数据，防止未经授权的访问。当数据存储在云中时，所提出的系统能够使用随机梯度下降算法和逻辑回归来开发心脏病的预测模型。仿真实验表明，和其他几种算法相比，提出的算法具有更小的误差，且在吞吐量、准确度等方面具有一定的优越性。     

Performance evaluation of noise reduction method during on-line monitoring of MV switchgear for PD measurements by non-intrusive sensors

Partial Discharge (PD) measurement is a globally accepted method for insulation diagnosis of electrical assets. The consequences of insulation breakdown are well known. The trend is to move from conventional offline testing to online monitoring for insulation life prediction, which results in the inclusion of high frequency noise in the captured signals. Therefore de-noising is of paramount importance in online monitoring to obtain useful information from the signal.In this research, a 20 kV switchgear panel has been subjected to PD faults in the laboratory and measurements have been carried out by using different non-intrusive sensors including a novel sensor, the D-dot sensor and recorded by a high frequency oscilloscope. The measured results show the effective applicability of sensors for switchgear. The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) has been used to de-noise PD signals in this paper. Time domain and frequency domain comparison of original and de-noised PD signals reveals the significance of this technique for online monitoring of Medium Voltage (MV) switchgear. Finally, an adaptive online de-noising concept, based on automatic de-noising is also proposed in this paper.     

Development of LTCC micro-hotplate with PTC temperature sensor for gas-sensing applications

Low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) micro-hotplates show wide applications in gas sensors and micro-fluidic devices. It is easily structured in three-dimensional structures. This paper presents the low power consumption micro-hotplates which were developed with PTC (positive temperature coefficient) temperature sensor and inter-digitated electrodes. The paper presents two different structures for micro-hotplate with platinum as a heating element. The PTC temperature sensor using two different materials viz. PdAg and platinum paste are developed with micro-hotplates. The simulation has been achieved through COMSOL for LTCC and alumina micro-hotplates. The temperature variation with power consumption has been measured for the developed LTCC micro-hotplates. The change in resistance of PTC temperature sensors was measured with micro-hotplate temperature. The aim of this study was to place a temperature sensor with the gas sensor module to measure and control the temperature of micro-hotplate. A SnO₂ sensing layer is coated on LTCC micro-hotplate using screen printing and characterized for the sensing of carbon monoxide gas (CO). This study will be beneficial for designing hotplates based on LTCC technology with low power consumption and better stability of temperature for gas-sensing applications.     

Inferring kinetic dissolution of NaCl in aqueous glycol solution using a low-cost apparatus and population balance model

An experimental methodology for inferring brine dissolution rate in monoethylene glycol (MEG) solutions at different temperatures using a webcam combined with a mathematical model is presented. The measurement system is designed to track the RGB (red, green, and blue) colour variations during the dissolution process. A dynamic model augmented with the population balance equation is applied to describe the dissolution process. Moreover, the dissolution rate is consistently related to the temperature and MEG concentration through the driving force based on the Gibbs energy and chemical affinity. The applied low-cost measurement apparatus proved to be a useful resource for tracking the dissolution dynamics in a wide range of undersaturation.     

Influences of magnetic fields on current–voltage characteristics of gold-DNA-gold structure with variable gaps

Achieving highly sensitive magnetic sensors by means of Metal-DNA-Metal (MDM) structure is a key issue. DNA, being a genetic information carrier in living cells reveals tunable semiconducting response in the presence of external electric and magnetic fields, which is promising for molecular electronics. The influence of magnetic fields up to 1200 mT on the current–voltage (I–V) behavior of Gold-DNA-Gold (GDG) structure having variable gap sizes from 20–50 μm are reported in this work. These structures were fabricated using UV lithography, DC magnetron sputtering and thermal evaporation techniques. DNA strands were extracted from Boesenbergia rotunda plant via standard protocol. The acquired I–V characteristics display the semiconducting diode nature of DNA in GDG structures. The potential barrier for all the structures exhibit an increasing trend with the increase of externally imposed magnetic field irrespective of variable gap sizes. Furthermore, the potential barrier in GDG junction at higher magnetic field strengths (>1000 mT) is found to be considerably enhanced. This enhancement in the junction barrier height at elevated magnetic fields is attributed to the reduction of carrier mobility and augmentation of resistance. The achieved admirable features of magnetic sensitivity suggest the viability of using these GDG sandwiches as a prospective magnetic sensor.
