Testing and calibration of smart pebble for river bed sediment transport monitoring [PDF]
The Smart Pebble (smart particle), SP, has been developed for the past two years to monitor sediment transport in riverbeds. The implementation is based on use of small size and low cost acceleration and angular motion sensors. In this stage, the project

A closed-loop digitally controlled MEMS gyroscope with unconstrained Sigma-Delta force-feedback [PDF]
In this paper, we describe the system architecture and prototype measurements of a MEMS gyroscope system with a resolution of 0.025 degrees/s/root Hz. The architecture makes extensive use of control loops, which are mostly in the digital domain.

Mixed signal approach for rapid prototyping of a compact smart pebble for sediment transport monitoring in river beds [PDF]
Low-cost accelerometers and gyro ICs were used to develop a smart sediment particle to study the sediment transport in rivers. With strap-down MEMS, battery, a processing subsystem and memory, this self contained unit captures semiprocessed data for ...

Wave Monitoring with Wireless Sensor Networks [PDF]
Real-time collection of wave information is required for short and long term investigations of natural coastal processes. Current wave monitoring techniques use only point-measurements, which are practical where the bathymetry is relatively uniform.

Biomimetic direction of arrival estimation for resolving front-back confusions in hearing aids [PDF]
Sound sources at the same angle in front or behind a two-microphone array (e.g., bilateral hearing aids) produce the same time delay and two estimates for the direction of arrival: A front-back confusion.

Compensation of Magnetic Disturbances Improves Inertial and Magnetic Sensing of Human Body Segment Orientation [PDF]
This paper describes a complementary Kalman filter design to estimate orientation of human body segments by fusing gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer signals from miniature sensors. Ferromagnetic materials or other magnetic fields near the sensor
