This paper investigates the interdigitated electrode design for impedance spectroscopy technique targeting lard detection purposes. Two types of interdigitated electrode were designed and evaluated on high precision impedance converter board subjected to frequency range of 5kHz to 100 kHz. Samples of lard and beef tallow were extracted and mixed with hexane solvent for different concentration levels. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to the experimental data for statistical data analysis. Experimental results indicate that the impedance value is not a strong function of concentration levels but a function of frequencies. ANOVA results have confirmed that IDE Type-B that has larger electrode area has higher sensing sensitivity over Type-A. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used as a statistical multivariate modeling. PCA analysis results showed that the IDE Type B could group animal fats into two distinct groups using both parameters of frequencies and concentrations.
本文研究了以猪油检测为目的的阻抗谱技术中交叉电极的设计。在5kHz ~ 100khz的高精度阻抗转换板上设计了两种交叉指向电极，并对其进行了测试。提取猪油和牛脂样品，用不同浓度的己烷溶剂混合。采用方差分析(ANOVA)对实验数据进行统计分析。实验结果表明，阻抗值不是浓度水平的强函数，而是频率的函数。方差分析结果证实，电极面积较大的IDE b型比a型具有更高的传感灵敏度。采用主成分分析(PCA)作为多元统计模型。PCA分析结果表明，IDE Type B可以利用频率和浓度参数将动物脂肪分为两类。

Development of a robust and precise voice interface could accelerate the realization of a learning support system that utilizes voice. In our research, this objective is called Intelligent Interactive Design of learning support. In order to realize Intelligent Interactive Design, we propose a “voice separation and recognition system” that aims at clear voice separation for robust voice recognition by voice recognition systems. The results of experiments conducted indicate that our Intelligent Interactive Design has a correct voice recognition rate above 70%. The results are highly satisfactory and indicate that Intelligent Interactive Design can be realized via our proposed system in the near future.

An environmental measurement system was developed using a low-power sensing module, IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) connection module, and a small solar cell and battery. An Arduino-based sensing module was used for many kinds of analog/digital outputs sensors with the Arduino software library. The data from the module were sent via Wi-Fi HTTP(S) clients operation, and collected by MySQL server using PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) uploading code. The sleep and wakeup strategy controlled by a real-time clock achieved an average system power consumption of 18 mW. The system also checked its own condition by measuring battery voltage and temperature. It operated on a small 0.8 W solar cell and 1500-mAh Lithium iron phosphate battery. Data on the MySQL server were downloaded, and visualized the sensing data on Google Maps. Visualizations and log data help users understand environmental contamination levels in a farm, garden, forest, etc.

Since its emergence, Optical communication systems have always been considered as a significantly attractive alternative to wired data transfer techniques, especially in environment where high data rate is essential in a multi-component system. Unfortunately, optical communication is still not as robust as traditional mechanisms and suffers from various types of distortion, such as jitter in data propagation. These issues can degrade the performance of a transmission system by introducing bit errors and uncontrolled offsets or displacements in the digital signals. However, these issues are more apparent with bidirectional full duplex data transfers in which complex bit streams are multiplexed within slotted intervals in a synchronized clock scheme. Although efforts have been made to improve robustness of the high bitrate data communication, we believe that optical communication may also be useful in environments where unidirectional control signals are passed down in a parallel bit stream in an asynchronous setup removing the need to multiplex data streams and assign timeslots to the transferred data. These low traffic control communication signals can be used to regulate a wide host of components and peripherals which may not be suitable in a traditional wired setup. For this purpose, our research focuses on utilizing a section of the conventional display to generate unidirectional control signals for attached modular peripherals. Using various display technologies, we proved that this type of control communication can robustly interact with external systems without the need for complex signal encoding, which is essential in traditional serial communication protocols. We believe that this technique can reduce signal encoding delays by relying on parallel processes for data transfer within a limited segment of the video frame in communicating with common peripheral devices.

Air quality is an essential factor to assess the health and life quality of people. However, air pollution has become an acute problem in major cities of developing countries due to the rapid industrialization and poor handling of air pollutants. In this scenario, air quality monitoring practices have been scarcely implemented largely because of the relatively high cost and technical complexity of Continuous Air Quality Monitoring Stations (CAQMS). This paper proposes a low-cost, rapid-deployment and energy-autonomous solution based on wireless sensor networks (WSN) to improve the assessment and the understanding of air quality in developing countries urban areas, thus helping policy makers and scientists to better handle air pollution. The proposal incorporates the use of a website to display collected data and processed information in order to empower citizens with knowledge about the air they breathe.

An ultrasonic pulse-echo and transmission system was developed to enable measurements on rat skulls for the frequency range 0.5MHz to 10MHz. Experimental results showed that for frequencies below 2MHz transmission through the skull was high whilst above 5MHz the transmission is low and falling with increasing frequency; the reflected signal magnitude was comparatively constant. MicroCT imaging shows that the pores within the skull are of a size that in this frequency range would cause scattering of the propagating wave and the ultrasonic data does show the onset of an acoustic loss mechanism in the frequency range between 2MHz and 5MHz.

NiO films based extended gate field-effect transistor (EGFET) pH sensors were fabricated and investigated in this work. Experimentally, nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles were first prepared via precipitation method. Subsequently, the NiO film was deposited on the FTO glass substrate by spin-coating. In the precipitation of NiO, two precipitants, NaOH and NH4OH solutions, were used. The influences of preparation conditions including precipitant, coating number, and calcination temperature on the properties of NiO films and pH sensing performances of devices were investigated. From experimental results, it was found that the NaOH-derived NiO devices exhibited superior sensing performances than the NH4OH-derived ones, due to their smaller grain size and denser packing of NiO film. It also revealed that, a highest sensitivity of 53.40 mV/pH was achieved in the pH range from 2 to 12 with a good linearity of 0.9989, which was fabricated with a precipitant of NaOH solution, a coating number of 10, and a calcination temperature of 400°C. Moreover, the device showed a negligible hysteresis effect.

Toxicities of twelve kinds of metals were evaluated by using a microbial fuel cell as a monitoring sensor. Tested metals were barium(Ba), beryllium(Be), cobalt(Co), copper(Cu), iron(Fe), manganese(Mn), mercury(Hg), lead(Pb), selenium(Se), thallium(Tl), vanadium(V), and zinc(Zn). Most of the tested metals are not allowed to be present above a certain concentration in drinking water system in South Korea. To evaluate the toxicities of the metals in water, HATOX-2000, a bio-monitoring system, was utilized. Minimum concentration of response of each metal and toxicity values in certain concentration range were determined through the test. The minimum concentrations of response were less than 1.0 mg/L for all the tested metals. The lowest value was observed as 0.1 mg/L for thallium. HATOX-2000 was able to detect the tested metal substances in water system with high sensitivity.

A smart grid is a modernized power grid. Many novel technologies have been used to smart grids. One of the technologies is the wireless sensor network. In this study, a novel backbone communication network is proposed, which combines two different wireless technologies (the ZigBee and Wi-Fi protocol), to form a communication network between the transmission towers in a power grid. The gateway in the network consists of an embedded system and an AP with long-range communication capability. The embedded system is used as a computing platform to deal with sensor readings transmitted through the ZigBee protocol and routing data transmitted between towers via long-range Wi-Fi. Finally, the gateways relay the readings to a back-end server in a monitoring center (e.g. substation, ADCC, and CDCC) through the backbone communication network. Furthermore, to manage all the gateways, a routing algorithm for the backbone communication network is designed to ensure the reliability of data transmission in this study. Simulation is done to test the effectiveness and reliability of the routing algorithm. Although other papers have shown architectures and algorithms for smart grid, they are not proper for power grid in Taiwan due to the distribution of transmission lines. This study proposes an embedded system-based backbone communication network for power grid in Taiwan.
