A new portable measuring device for monitoring intraocular pressure with a non invasive system using a prototype of contact lens has been developed. The contact lens is based on a new organic flexible highly piezo-resisitive film sensor that is glued to the central hole of a lens. The measuring system is wire connected to the contact lens and incorporates user interface methods and a Bluetooth link for bi-directional wireless data transfer. The key design aspects of such architecture are discussed in this paper. The system is designed with an architecture that can be integrated in the future in order to be placed in the contact lens. The discrete system is used to validate the electronic measurement operation and the contact lens sensor (CLS). The measurement instrument can calibrate the differences of the nominal value of the sensor and measure resistances variations that are related to pressure variations. The measuring system and the contact lens sensor were tested with an eye phantom and with enucleated pig eyes by applying pressure changes between 7 to 32 mmHg recording the electrical changes with the portable device.

Synchronization of a large-scale lifting system with hydraulic actuator failures is investigated in this article. The lifting system is composed of multiple intelligent lifting subsystems with hydraulic actuators, wireless data transfer unit, and distributed controller. During the lifting process, the hydraulic actuators are possible to be malfunctioned. Once actuator failure occurs, the number of lifting points and the communication topology would change over different time intervals. This article proposes a distributed synchronization control method and adopts switching technique in analyzing the lifting synchronization. The distributed controller is designed with information received from around subsystems through wireless data transfer unit rather than with direct reference signal from the control station. On the basis of Lyapunov stability theory and switched technique, sufficient conditions that guarantee the synchronization of the lifting system with actuator failures are achieved, and synchronization errors can be reduced as small as desired. Finally, the effectiveness of proposed distributed synchronization controller is verified by numerical simulations conducted on AMESim platform. From the simulation results, it can be seen that when actuator failures occur, the synchronization error of the remaining lifting subsystems is less than 5%. The lifting synchronization error shrinks to 5% in 5.87 s when a broke-down subsystem returns to normal.

<p>The main interesting aspect of the digital era is the widely spread ease of communication from one end of the world to the other end of the world. There is a revolution in communication, digitalization, globalization, video calling, wireless data transfer and this is possible due to networking. Initially computer networks is the data sharing where data such as documents, file, reports, presentation files, videos, images etc can be shared within a local network or remotely connected networks. Traditional data networking is to empower end-to-end information transfer. The data in such networks are carried across point-to-point links and the intermediate nodes just forward the packets, where the payload of the packets is not modified. Traditional LANs need wires, which may be difficult to set up in some situations.</p><p>It is very much understandable and clearly visible that wired communication is being completely overtaken by wireless technologies in the recent past. Wireless LANs, by its very nature, empowers with increased mobility and flexibility. Wi-Fi devices get connected to the internet through WLAN and access points. 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz ISM bands are used by Wi-Fi. Also, it is to be understood that, a wireless adhoc network is distributed in its nature. It is also to be noted that, the adhoc nature makes these network to rely on any of the pre-existing infrastructure. The data forwarding shall happen from the nodes very much dynamically based on the connectivity and the routing algorithm used.  </p>

The article presents the architecture and operation principles of the system for collecting and analyzing information from strain gauges. These systems are used to determine the equipment performance for transporting a variety of materials. In particular, they are used to control the movement of bulk materials mixtures components. For such technological processes, it is fundamentally important to ensure constant flows intensity. The paper identifies three variants of sensor connection schemes, analyzes their advantages and disadvantages. It is established that the structure “one ADC – several sensors” allows to reduce equipment costs and at the same time to provide the minimum parameters influence of a transmission line on a useful sensor signal. The “one-to-one” scheme provides the connection of each sensor to its own ADC. “Circuit with multiplexer” allows to increase the number of sensors connected to one ADC. It is established that the best option in terms of reducing the interference effects on the analog signal and the cost of creating a system is the scheme “one ADC – several sensors”. The algorithm of information transfer from ADC to microcontroller (MC) is analysed. It is calculated that HX711 ADC chips provide the maximum data rate of 18.5 values/s. It is proposed to transfer data between the MC and the server using the TCP protocol because it avoids data loss and provides the necessary data transfer speed. The structure and formats of data that are transmitted from the mass sensor to the ADC, microcontroller, web server and database are proposed. The main speed, design parameters, advantages and disadvantages of wired and wireless data network between MK and the server are determined. Recommendations for the design of such a network depending on the characteristics of the premises in which the data collection system will be used have been developed.
