Abstract The wireless technology in patient monitoring system enables clinicians to monitor vital signs with remote capability. Recent advancements in embedded system have led to

explosive growth in wireless medical sensors that allow vital signs to be automatically

collected and integrated into patient’s care record for real-time monitoring. Research and development in cognitive sensor networking is driven by trends in information fusion,

intelligent sensor and wireless communication. In this paper, recent trends in smart non-

invasive wireless medical sensors and multisensory data fusion techniques for patient’s health care monitoring are reviewed. In particular, low-cost cognition-based integrated

wireless smart sensors used in monitoring hospital patient’s cardiac activity, respiratory activity and blood pressure are presented. Several multisensory data-fusion techniques

are also reviewed. Finally, the paper suggests the best methods for wireless real-time

vital sign monitoring.

Keywords: Vital signs, Monitoring, Wireless sensor, Multisensory data fusion,

Abstract The need for electrical energy increases in our life with the increase in the trends in

technology for sophistication of our day-to-day life. This requires an increase in the

production of electrical energy. In the field of electrical power generation from the

conventional methods like hydroelectricity, thermal power systems which use fossil fuel, there is needed to concern the factors which influence the environmental conditions

including pollution, greenhouse effect and also rising of fuel prices. Hence there is a need for power generating units which are non-polluting, highly efficient, easily situated and

make use of renewable sources. This paper focuses on design of multisource power

generating system called “Hybrid System,” which generates power from renewable sources like solar light energy and wind energy. The benefits of the hybrid system are

long-term reliability and sustainability, optimal power generation, reduction in pollution, generation of high quality power and efficient use of the renewable energy resources.

Hybrid system can be made as a roof top power generating system, thus reducing the load

on the grid, and increasing the number of power generating units.

A Nobel Method of Auxiliary Power Consumption Saving

by Vibrating Level Probe on Ash Conveying System

Debyendu Chakroborty* Electrical & Instrumentation Department, Crescent Power Limited,

Asansol, West Bengal, India

Abstract In thermal power plant, ash conveying system through electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is a vital phenomenon. There are two modes of conveying in thermal power plant ash

conveying system-timer mode and probe mode. Timer mode of conveying is done through

distributed control system (DCS) logics. Probe type of level measurement is done by vibrating forks type-level probe; we used the same in our study. By this method, lesser

quantity of conveying air was used as well as there was a decrease of loading cycle of

compressor. This technique helps us to save the auxiliary power of plant, which is subjected to conservation of energy. This paper discusses the modes to achieve such a

type of saving by vibrating forks type-level probe in ash conveying system in thermal power plants.

Keywords: Conveying system, Electrostatic precipitator (ESP), Timer mode, Probe

mode, Distributed control system (DCS)

Bearing Fault Analysis using Variational

Mode Decomposition

Mohanty S., Gupta K. K.* Department of Instrumentation, Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, Rajasthan, India

Abstract Bearing health analysis plays a significant role in industry to improve reliability and

performance of critical processes by alarming the faults at early stages. Conventional

techniques do not guarantee to detect the faults at early stages because the low energy bearing frequencies get suppressed by stern noise and higher vibrations. The fast Fourier

transform (FFT) fails to analyze the transient and nonstationary signals directly. This

paper performs the signal analysis on vibration data of ball bearing using variational mode decomposition (VMD). First the intrinsic mode functions are extracted using VMD

followed by FFT and finally the status of bearing is analyzed to be faulty or impeccable. The VMD can extract close tone vibration signatures and takes less computation time.

Keywords: Ball bearing, Accelerometer sensor, Variational mode decomposition

(VMD), Empirical mode decomposition (EMD), Fast Fourier transform (FFT)

Energy Meter Reading Automation using Global

System for Mobile

Dhanoj Mohan* Assistant Professor, Vimal Jyothi Engineering College, Kannur, Kerala, India

Abstract Electronic Energy Meter (EEM) is based on digital microtechnology (DMT) and uses no

moving parts. So the EEM is known as “Static Energy Meter”. In EEM the accurate functioning is controlled by a specially designed IC called ASIC (application specified

integrated circuit). ASIC is constructed only for specific applications using Embedded

System Technology. Energy meter reading is very costly nowadays. It is because the

meter reader people goes to each meter to take the reading manually and issue the bill

which is to be paid later. If this process is automated, then the tedious task of meter reading and bill calculation can be simplified. As a solution for this problem we

introduce an Automated EEM Meter Reading System. This system is to monitor the energy consumption of each user and send it to the monitoring panel by using global

system for mobile (GSM) module for further processing.
