This research work aims to create awareness and monitor the breath rate of a neonate using the air flow sensors and to reduce the number of infants’ death. It is designed based on the Arduino which is open-source electronics platform for hardware and software use. This prototype is developed for reliable and efficient baby monitoring system and play as infant care and monitoring system.A cardio respiratory system is used to monitor the infant’s heart rate, rhythm, breathing rate and other relevant and useful medical information using Electro Cardio Graph (ECG) and other IoT (Internet of Things) devices.This research work proved that the respiration monitoring system for infants can be implemented at low cost and also can prevent the respiration failure deaths.

The development of a low-cost noninvasive motion capture device for use in physiotherapy clinics and as a diagnostic tool attracts enormous attention. In this study, we aimed to investigate the feasibility of medical and healthcare applications of the Kinect v2 motion capture devices based on practical medical needs. In particular, we developed three applications: a non-contact respiration monitoring system for the diagnosis of COPD, a rehabilitation assistance system, and a three-dimensional skeletal motion viewer system.

In this paper, Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) based temperature sensor is designed and fabricated for weather monitoring system at troposphere level. In this design we have used meander shape, because it is easy to vary the length. We have optimized the length in this design. Due to certain advantages like low cost, easily available, high melting and boiling point, molybdenum material is used for fabrication of this design. The four meander type temperature sensors are designed with various dimensions of sizes in 6.7mm×4mm, 9.5mm×4mm, 5.2mm×4mm, 6.5mm×4mm. The Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) values for four various sensors mentioned above are 3.4 ×10-4 C-1, 3.7×10-4 C-1, 7.0×10-4 C-1, 7.5×10-4 C-1. For radiosonde applications the sensor must have high sensitivity, high degree of accuracy, good linearity and with better TCR values. The experimental results are better for dimension 6.7mm ×4mm for all characteristics mentioned above. The practical results are compared with the theoretical values.

Abstract Recently, the three-dimensional (3D) printing technique has attracted much attention for creating objects of arbitrary shape and manufacturing. For the first time, in this work, we present the fabrication of an inkjet printed low-cost 3D temperature sensor on a 3D-shaped thermoplastic substrate suitable for packaging, flexible electronics, and other printed applications. The design, fabrication, and testing of a 3D printed temperature sensor are presented. The sensor pattern is designed using a computer-aided design program and fabricated by drop-on-demand inkjet printing using a magnetostrictive inkjet printhead at room temperature. The sensor pattern is printed using commercially available conductive silver nanoparticle ink. A moving speed of 90 mm/min is chosen to print the sensor pattern. The inkjet printed temperature sensor is demonstrated, and it is characterized by good electrical properties, exhibiting good sensitivity and linearity. The results indicate that 3D inkjet printing technology may have great potential for applications in sensor fabrication.

This paper intends to explain the development of Coastal Video Monitoring System (CoViMoS) with the main characteristics including low-cost and easy implementation. CoViMoS characteristics have been realized using the device IP camera for video image acquisition, and development of software applications with the main features including detection of shoreline and it changes are automatically. This capability was based on segmentation and classification techniques based on data mining. Detection of shoreline is done by segmenting a video image of the beach, to get a cluster of objects, namely land, sea and sky, using Self Organizing Map (SOM) algorithms. The mechanism of classification is done using K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) algorithms to provide the class labels to objects that have been generated on the segmentation process. Furthermore, the classification of land used as a reference object in the detection of costline. Implementation CoViMoS system for monitoring systems in Cucukan Beach, Gianyar regency, have shown that the developed system is able to detect the shoreline and its changes automatically.

AbstractA large number of landslides occur in North-Eastern Italy during every rainy period due to the particular hydrogeological conditions of this area. Even if there are no casualties, the economic losses are often significant, and municipalities frequently do not have sufficient financial resources to repair the damage and stabilize all the unstable slopes. In this regard, the research for more economically sustainable solutions is a crucial challenge. Floating composite anchors are an innovative and low-cost technique set up for slope stabilization: it consists in the use of passive sub-horizontal reinforcements, obtained by coupling a traditional self-drilling bar with some tendons cemented inside it. This work concerns the application of this technique according to the observational method described within the Italian and European technical codes and mainly recommended for the design of geotechnical works, especially when performed in highly uncertain site conditions. The observational method prescribes designing an intervention and, at the same time, using a monitoring system in order to correct and adapt the project during realization of the works on the basis of new data acquired while on site. The case study is the landslide of Cischele, a medium landslide which occurred in 2010 after an exceptional heavy rainy period. In 2015, some floating composite anchors were installed to slow down the movement, even if, due to a limited budget, they were not enough to ensure the complete stabilization of the slope. Thanks to a monitoring system installed in the meantime, it is now possible to have a comparison between the site conditions before and after the intervention. This allows the evaluation of benefits achieved with the reinforcements and, at the same time, the assessment of additional improvements. Two stabilization scenarios are studied through an FE model: the first includes the stabilization system built in 2015, while the second evaluates a new solution proposed to further increase the slope stability.
