The metal-to-metal clearances of a steam turbine during full or part load operation are among the main drivers of efficiency. The requirement to add clearances is driven by a number of factors including the relative movements of the steam…
This work develops a smart mat for monitoring body positions. We use Velostat as a force sensor resistance (FSR) to construct a sensor matrix over the mat to receive the pressure distribution of the patient's body, and then upload the…
Convenience and safeguarding our home appliances have become an important issue when dealing with an advancement and growth of an economy. This research focuses on the design and construction of a Dual Sensor heat-monitoring system. The…
We investigate the occurrence of heat leakages in overdamped Brownian harmonic systems. We exactly compute the underdamped and overdamped stochastic heats exchanged with the bath for a sudden frequency or temperature switch. We show that…
With the advent of integrated sensor technology (smart flow meters and pressure sensors), various new numerical algorithms for leak localization (a core element of water distribution system operation) have been developed. However, there is…
Nowadays, detecting aberrant health issues is a difficult process. Falling, especially among the elderly, is a severe concern worldwide. Falls can result in deadly consequences, including unconsciousness, internal bleeding, and often times,…
Users face various privacy risks in smart homes, yet there are limited ways for them to learn about the details of such risks, such as the data practices of smart home devices and their data flow. In this paper, we present Privacy Plumber,…
Modern building control systems adopt demand control heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) for increased energy efficiency. The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the building control system can determine real-time demand,…
This study focuses on the development of an ultrasonic leak detection system utilizing the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense Rev2 board. The research aimed to create a compact and cost-effective solution for identifying leaks in high-pressure…
A number of governments and organizations around the world agree that the first step to address national and international problems such as energy independence, global warming or emergency resilience, is the redesign of electricity…
In office spaces, the ratio of energy consumption of air conditioning and lighting for maintaining the environment comfort is about 70%. On the other hand, many people claim being dissatisfied with the temperature of the air conditioning.…
Temperature fluctuations over long time scales ($\gtrsim 1\,\mathrm{h}$) are an insidious problem for precision measurements. In optical laboratories, the primary effect of temperature fluctuations is drifts in optical circuits over spatial…
Smart gadgets are being embedded almost in every aspect of our lives. From smart cities to smart watches, modern industries are increasingly supporting the Internet of Things (IoT). SysMART aims at making supermarkets smart, productive, and…
Leakages in drinking water distribution networks pose significant challenges to water utilities, leading to infrastructure failure, operational disruptions, environmental hazards, property damage, and economic losses. The timely…
Safety against thermal failures is crucial in battery systems. Real-time thermal diagnostics can be a key enabler of such safer batteries. Thermal fault diagnostics in large format pouch or prismatic cells pose additional challenges…
Standard (black-box) regression models may not necessarily suffice for accurate identification and prediction of thermal dynamics in buildings. This is particularly apparent when either the flow rate or the inlet temperature of the thermal…
In this paper, we introduce a novel mechanism that uses machine learning techniques to detect water leaks in pipes. The proposed simple and low-cost mechanism is designed that can be easily installed on building pipes with various sizes.…
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) is extremely energy-consuming, accounting for 40% of total building energy consumption. Therefore, it is crucial to design some energy-efficient building thermal control policies which can…
At the lowest temperatures achieved in dilution refrigerators, ruthenium oxide resistance thermometers often saturate and therefore lose their sensitivity. In an effort to extend the range of such temperature sensors, we built a thermometer…
This work presents a procedure that can quickly identify and isolate methane emission sources leading to expedient remediation. Minimizing the time required to identify a leak and the subsequent time to dispatch repair crews can…
