Identifying customer usage profiles of two-wheeled vehicles
… within a short time span. In addition, an impact detection strategy was developed using a supervised machine learning approach. A study of the six most popular classification algorithms was achieved for detecting mild and severe special events. The combination of the road roughness …

Passive, Self-Healable, Dielectric Elastomers for Structural Health Monitoring
… a self-healable, passive, dielectric elastomer impact sensor for structural health monitoring on inflatable space structures subject to impact by micrometeoroids and orbital debris. In a setting in which impact repairs can be extremely costly, the implementation of such a technology would not …

Spatial summation in the dark-adapted fovea
… small, threshold stimuli and an implicit detection model. Unfortunately the parameters governing detection at cone threshold are not well known. For insight into detection and perception at the cellular level we investigated the absolute detection threshold, and the extent and strategy of …

Sudden-event monitoring of civil infrastructure using wireless smart sensors
Many of the civil infrastructure damage scenarios involve sudden events, including natural disasters and anthropogenic hazards. Due to their unpredictable nature, many of these events go unnoticed or unreported; but their consequence can be catastrophic, resulting in damage/failure in a matter of …
