We propose a method for obtaining the centroid locating accuracy (CLA) of a monocentric imager with a fiber optic plate (FOP) as a relay image transmission element in order to reduce the loss of CLA due to the addition of FOP. We constructed a two-stage image transmission coupling model of spherical focal surface (FOP) image sensor. By analyzing the influences of FOP parameters, including the fill factor and the fiber diameter, and FOP in-plane displacements, including rotation and translation on CLA, the loss of the lowest CLA that the monocentric imager can withstand caused by the addition of the FOP was reduced by 20%.

This paper presents a prototype linear response single exposure CMOS image sensor with two-stage lateral overflow integration trench capacitors (LOFITreCs) exhibiting over 120dB dynamic range with 11.4Me- full well capacity (FWC) and maximum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 70dB. The measured SNR at all switching points were over 35dB thanks to the proposed two-stage LOFITreCs.

AbstractNumerical simulation is a useful tool in investigating the loading performance of rock bolts. The cable structural elements (cableSELs) in FLAC3D are commonly adopted to simulate rock bolts to solve geotechnical issues. In this study, the bonding performance of the interface between the rock bolt and the grout material was simulated with a two-stage shearing coupling model. Furthermore, the FISH language was used to incorporate this two-stage shear coupling model into FLAC3D to modify the current cableSELs. Comparison was performed between numerical and experimental results to confirm that the numerical approach can properly simulate the loading performance of rock bolts. Based on the modified cableSELs, the influence of the bolt diameter on the performance of rock bolts and the shear stress propagation along the interface between the bolt and the grout were studied. The simulation results indicated that the load transfer capacity of rock bolts rose with the rock bolt diameter apparently. With the bolt diameter increasing, the performance of the rock bolting system was likely to change from the ductile behaviour to the brittle behaviour. Moreover, after the rock bolt was loaded, the position where the maximum shear stress occurred was variable. Specifically, with the continuous loading, it shifted from the rock bolt loaded end to the other end.

Tactile Sensors

Tactile sensors are commonly a coordinated group of receptors forming a matrix array meant to measure force or pressure similar to the human skin. Optic-based tactile sensors are flexible, sensitive, and fast; however, the human fingertip’s spatial resolution, which can be regarded as the desired spatial resolution, still could not be reached because of their bulky nature. This article proposes a novel and patented optic-based tactile sensor design, in which fiber optic cables are used to increase the number of sensory receptors per square centimeter. The proposed human-like high-resolution tactile sensor design is based on simple optics and image processing techniques, and it enables high spatial resolution and easy data acquisition at low cost. This design proposes using the change in the intesity of the light occured due to the deformation on contact/measurement surface. The main idea is using fiber optic cables as the afferents of the human physiology which can have 9 µm diameters for both delivering and receiving light beams. The variation of the light intensity enters sequent mathematical models as the input, then, the displacement, the force, and the pressure data are evaluated as the outputs. A prototype tactile sensor is manufactured with 1-mm spatial and 0.61-kPa pressure measurement resolution with 0–15.6 N/cm2 at 30 Hz sampling frequency. Experimental studies with different scenarios are conducted to demonstrate how this state-of-the-art design worked and to evaluate its performance. The overall accuracy of the first prototype, based on different scenarios, is calculated as 93%. This performance is regarded as promising for further developments and applications such as grasp control or haptics.

Design and implement an energy-efficient smart camera mote architecture to be used as surveillance device for assisted living. Add the Passive Infrared Sensor (PIR) to WVSN, PIR detect the human or animal’s moving, then it triggers the camera to wake up. The image captured will be grayscale processing by the central processing unit. Camera sensor nodes transmit a grayscale image over wireless channel to master control station. It offers reduced complexity, response time, and power consumption over conventional solutions. By experimental results from the test illustrate that performance of the designed wireless image sensor is better than the exiting ones in the market in terms of received signal strength intensity (RSSI) and packet rate ratio (PRR) with respect to the distance. This scheme is less complicated than other wireless video sensor surveillance techniques, allowing resource-constrained video sensors to operate more reliably and longer.
