This paper presents a load-balanced resource directory (LB-RD) architecture based on the constrained application protocol (CoAP), and is aimed at addressing the scalability issue with the central ... Read More

The authors have developed a practical wrist rehabilitation robot for hemiplegic patients. It consists of a desk equipped with mechanical rotating handle grips, sensors, a computer, and a displa ... Read More

Silicon–oxide–nitride–oxide–silicon (SONOS) capacitor devices with an oxy-nitride as the charge-trapping layer (O-SONOS) could be candidates for UV total dose (TD) nonvolatile sensors. U ... Read More

The purpose of this study was to automatically detect dense calcium (DC) and acoustic shadow regions in intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images by a dual-threshold-based segmentation approach. Th ... Read More

In this paper, we present a distributed sensor scheduling scheme based on Euclidean distance (DSS-ED) for Internet of Things (IoT) local networks, with the aim of extending the network lifetime w ... Read More

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths. The main reason is that patients are mostly diagnosed with lung cancer in its third or final stage. Lung nodules are small growing tissues, wh ... Read More

Generally, the walking assistive device for a visually impaired person is the white cane. The white cane has many problems such as collision and gait imbalance when walking with it. In addition ... Read More

A kind of Galfenol-piezoelectric composite sensor is proposed, and its nonlinear magnetoelectric response characteristics are analyzed in this paper. New nonlinear differential terms with fracti ... Read More

Medical big data are rapidly being generated and accumulated throughout the healthcare industry. Using such medical data to extract meaningful information is expected to improve healthcare servi ... Read More

In this paper, we present a new top-down fabrication method of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) for inertial sensor applications. Recently, SiNW piezoresistive inertial sensors have attracted much atte ... Read More

In this study, the spectral amplitude coding optical code division multiple access (SAC- OCDMA) is proposed for streaming data over a wireless transmission channel. A fiber-Bragg-grating (FBG)-b ... Read More

In this study, we investigate the chaotic motion of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) with fluid by dealing with the effects of nonlinearities. The governing equations of the system are de ... Read More

In this study, we develop an autonomous process of conducting an assembly task by attaching systematic assembly sequence information to an object's computer-aided design (CAD) model. The informat ... Read More
