How can sensors prevent long term damage to homes/ structures?
In your home, sensors can detect hazardous and dangerous situations that directly and imminently impact the homeowner or other people in the home. These situations could include a fire that can damage the home and even endanger its inhabitants, hazardous chemicals, such as natural gas, that only affects human inhabitants, burglary that can impact both […]
How can sensors improve 5G system performance?
A variety of sensor technologies are being employed to improve the performance of 5G, or mmWave, communications. Sensors can help mmWave systems optimize transmit power to optimize device power consumption and operating range. They can be used to monitor movements within a building environment. Motion sensors such as inertial measurement units (IMUs) can help identify […]
How do brain-computer interfaces use sensors?
Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) activated prosthetics, and other applications need sensors to provide feedback. Intensive work has been and continues to be done in this area. For example, researchers have reported their progress on an electroencephalogram (EEG)-based motor imagery BCI to control the movement of a prosthetic hand. The hand was instrumented with force and angle […]
