1)The Design and Implementation of Web of Low Power
Wireless Temperature Monitoring and Alarm System. Description: According to these results, the magnetic sensor is able to sense magnetic field and easily reset by temperature difference. We presented a novel room-tem- perature resettable thermomagnetic-piezoelectric MEMS magnetic sensor which is resettable by applying a temperature difference in room temperature range. The experimental results show that the sensor successfully senses the magnetic field at 15 °C (lower than its Curie temperature) and is rest at 45°C (lower than its Curie temperature). In the future, the sensor will be contin- uously improved to measure DC earth magnetic field.
2) RF Humidity Sensor Implemented with PEI-Coated
Compact Microstrip Resonant Cell.
Description:
The single-port, short-circuit terminated CMRC sensor cell is coated
with 5 uL of 10 w.t.% PEI diluted in methanol, and is coupled to the ultra-micro coaxial connector (UMCC) through a direction transmission line. The PEI coating coming in contact with humid air undergoes changes in both physical volume and dielectric constant, thereby shifting the resonant frequency of the CMRC sensor. The return loss (S11) measured near the resonant frequency of the sensor has seen an average humidity sensitivity of -16.2 mdB / %RH, with great linearity across the full range of relative humidity levels. All measurements are done at atmospheric temperature and pressure (ATM).
3) An Embedded Wireless Temperature Sensor for Orthopedic
Implants.
Description:
A wireless and passive (battery free) temperature sensor that can be
embedded inside an orthopedic implant, such as an interference screw, was developed. The sensor is based on an inductive–capacitive–resistive resonant circuit that is inductively powered so the temperature at the implant can be measured wirelessly. A potential application of this sensor is to monitor internal wound temperature for the diagnosis of local infection at the implant site. Infections pose a significant risk to patients, who receive orthopedic implants, often lead to adverse conditions including implant failure, tissue necrosis, and amputation. Current approaches for diagnosing orthopedic implant-associated infections, such as blood tests, radiographic imaging, and histological study are slow, tedious, and nonspecific. In recent years, thermographic imaging has been used to monitor local temperature at the external surgical site as a means to detect infection, but its applications are limited to surface or near-surface wounds. The described sensor will serve as an useful research tool to investigate using temperature as an indication of deep-tissue orthopedic implant infection. When fully developed, this sensor may also improve orthopedic care by allowing simple, early detection of infection at an implant site. This paper describes the design and fabrication of the sensor, as well as characterizes its performance. Experimental results indicate the temperature response of the sensor is reproducible within the tested range of 30–42 °C.
4) Alarm System For Greenhouse Temperature Management.
Description:
As the applications of greenhouse become more and more extensive,
traditional greenhouse management is far from meeting the requirements. To improve the performance, this article proposes a kind of greenhouse temperature alarm system. In the system, Single Chip Microcomputer is monitoring temperature, and then the temperature information is transmitted to server through wireless data module. After server have analyzed the temperature data, the system sends an alert message to the greenhouse manager through GSM module if the temperature is abnormal, so this system could help a lot for Greenhouse temperature management. 5)Body Temperature Monitor and Alarm System Used in Hospital Based on 1-wire and Wireless Communication Technology
Description:
Body temperature measurement has very important meaning in clinic
diagnosis and treatment. Due to traditional artificial measurement style has mangy disadvantages such as long measurement time, and low measurement precision, etc, which is hard to automatically and accurately monitor patient body temperature in real time. Aiming to this problem, paper introduces a kind of body temperature distributed monitor system. Multi-temperature sensors DS18B20 were connected to realize body temperature signal collection, SCM AT89C52 processes measurement signal and drives field display and alarming equipment work. By nRF905 wireless transceiver chip, system completes signal wireless transmission from work slave station to work central station, and connects upper PC through USB adapter PDIUSBD12, which the distributed clinic patient body temperature concentration monitor system is carried out.
