Recent advances in low-power wireless networking have enabled remote and nonintrusive access to households’ electric meter readings, allowing direct real-time feedback on electricity consumption to home owners and energy ...
Sensing, monitoring and actuating systems are expected to play a key role in reducing buildings overall energy consumption. Leveraging sensor systems to support energy efficiency in buildings poses novel research challenges ...
Nowadays, control of heating, cooling and ventilation equipment operation is mainly achieved via timers with fixed setback schedules, configured using experience and standard models of space occupancy. Applying generic ...
Emerging healthcare applications can benefit
enormously from recent advances in pervasive technology and computing. This paper introduces the CLARITY Modular Ambient Health and Wellness Measurement Platform, which is a ...
Appliance load monitoring systems are designed to disaggregate the power load of a building in order to estimate the nature of individual loads, providing a real-time fine-grained recognition of active appliances. Monitoring ...
Appliance load monitoring (ALM) systems are systems capable of monitoring appliances’ operation within a building using a single metering point. As such, they uncover information on occupants’ activities of daily living ...
The number of active nodes in a WSN deployment
governs both the longevity of the network and the accuracy
of applications using the network’s data. As node hibernation
techniques become more sophistocated, it is important ...
In this paper, we study the possible output of the pulsed digital oscillator (PDO) with multiple resonant modes of the mechanical resonator in the feedback loop. PDOs are simple circuits that allow linear resonators to ...
In professional tennis training matches, the coach needs to be able to view play from the most appropriate angle
in order to monitor players activities. In this paper, we present a system which can adapt the operation of ...
Exercise therapy is prescribed by physiotherapists and
rehabilitation practitioners as part of the treatment programme
for many movement impairment disorders. Poor adherence and
inadequate exercise technique often result ...
