We present a smart chair that can detect and classify some common daily activities of elderly people. The chair has the potential to be a huge source of information on the behaviors of people si ... Read More

The electrochemical properties of thin films of two derivatives of the biopolymer hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), namely, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate (HPMCP) and hydroxypropyl m ... Read More

We propose an electrical cell-substrate impedance sensing (ECIS) system consisting of a low-cost compact analog front end (AFE) and a web-based user interface. Adopting a late-model oscilloscope ... Read More

We present the structure of an electrode and the excitation frequency that reduces the estimation error when the concentration of a reagent is measured using impedance. To compare the performanc ... Read More

In this paper, we propose a compact system for the fluorescence detection of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) chips. Various fluorescence detection methods have been proposed, but all require man ... Read More

In real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the result of the amplification of DNA can be seen through changes in fluorescence brightness sensed during the PCR cycles. To detect the changes ... Read More

Semiconductor nanowires have been studied owing to their excellent electrical properties. To implement an integrated system based on nanowires, well-aligned arrays of a nanowire are required for ... Read More

In this paper, an in situ technique is developed to measure the temperature distribution during the ultrafast laser scribing (machining) of heterogeneous materials using embedded sensors. The ma ... Read More

In this paper, we present the sensor fusion of a quad rotor aircraft. There are two main applications examined in this study, namely, gesture control and object detection. In gesture control, w ... Read More

A low-noise analog front-end (AFE) with chopper-stabilized multipath current-feedback instrumentation amplifier (CFIA) for resistive sensors is proposed. Low-noise techniques are essential for t ... Read More

Taiwan has suffered from widespread haze and poor air quality during recent years, and the control of indoor air quality has become an important topic. Here, we report a system relying on intell ... Read More

Silicon–silicon dioxide–silicon nitride–silicon dioxide–silicon (SONOS) capacitor devices with a bottom-silicon-rich and top-nitrogen-rich nitride bilayer stacked trapping layer (hereafte ... Read More

The number of patients with global dementia has reached about 50 million. According to the Ministry of the Interior’s July 2017 demographic data, the number of people with dementia over the ag ... Read More

This paper presents a predictive model for machine failure analysis, aiming to accurately analyze various causes of machine failure. The predictive model was developed in the following three ste ... Read More

Because current image and 3D scanning file processing technologies are difficult to use in comparing cable-cutting toolmarks effectively, an airport cable-cutting toolmark rapid-tracing matching ... Read More

In this study, the nonlinear response characteristics of electrostrictive material sensors subjected to stochastic excitation were investigated. Van der Pol nonlinear differential items were dev ... Read More

The purpose of this research is to apply an artificial intelligence (AI) technology to manage the operation of a farm robot. AI technology can also help farmers analyze environmental conditions, ... Read More
