Embedded systems are ubiquitous, but in order to maximize their lifetime on batteries there is a need for faster code execution - i.e., higher energy effciency, and for reduced memory usage. The large number of sensors integrated into embedded systems gives us the opportunity to exploit sensors' technical specifications, like a sensor's value range, to guide compiler optimizations for faster code execution, small binaries, etc. We design and implement such an idea in CoSense, a novel compiler (extension) based on the LLVM infrastructure, using an existing domain-specific language (DSL), Newton, to describe the bounds of and relations between physical quantities measured by sensors. CoSense utilizes previously unexploited physical information correlated to program variables to drive code optimizations. CoSense computes value ranges of variables and proceeds to overload functions, compress variable types, substitute code with constants and simplify the condition statements. We evaluated CoSense using several microbenchmarks and two real-world applications on various platforms and CPUs. For microbenchmarks, CoSense achieves 1.18x geomean speedup in execution time and 12.35% reduction on average in binary code size with 4.66% compilation time overhead on x86, and 1.23x geomean speedup in execution time and 10.95% reduction on average in binary code size with 5.67% compilation time overhead on ARM. For real-world applications, CoSense achieves 1.70x and 1.50x speedup in execution time, 12.96% and 0.60% binary code reduction, 9.69% and 30.43% lower energy consumption, with a 26.58% and 24.01% compilation time overhead, respectively.

This work presents the design and experimental validation of a prototype PVDF-based ultrasound piezoelectric sensor dedicated to ionoacoustic imaging of dose deposition in hadron therapy. The sensor sensitivity, frequency response and directivity have been designed through both analytical and finite-elements- model simulations. A three 3x30mm channel prototype sensor with 1 MHz bandwidth has been manufactured and characterized through electrical and acoustic testbenches.
The paper emphasizes the significance of sensor-based data analytics (SBDA) for modeling and simulation in a smart city, using the methods discrete event simulation (DES) and agent-based modeling (ABM). Moreover, the ...

CI has developed a modular optical system, which provides the sensor stimulus to obtain the required quantitative spectral response of single detectors, detector array engines and camera systems with small to large aperture optics. The system includes interchangeable sources, Circular Variable Filter scanning monochromator (CVF) and collimating and focusing optics to project monochromatic radiation (in focused or collimated configuration, according to need) towards the sensor. When spatial patterns are also used on the focal plane, the Unit Under Test (UUT) is fully characterized in both spectral and spatial domains.
Multi-sensor integrated navigation/positioning systems (MSINPS) play a crucial role in achieving precise positioning and navigation in challenging environments. By combining data from various sensors such as Global Na...

In traditional luminol electrochemiluminescence (ECL) systems, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and dissolved oxygen (DO) are the commonly used coreactants to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) for ECL emission. However, the self-decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and the limited solubility and content of oxygen in solution undoubtedly restrict the luminescence efficiency and stability of the luminol ECL system. Inspired by the ROS-mediated ECL mechanism, we pioneered hydroxide ion as an advanced luminol ECL coreactant using nickel-doped and carbon nanotube-modified tungsten oxide (Ni-WOx-CNT) as the coreactant accelerator. Owing to the excellent catalytic activity of Ni-WOx-CNT, amounts of ROS were generated from OH- at a low excitation voltage, which subsequently reacted with luminol anion radicals and triggered intense ECL signals. Experiments confirmed an impressive ECL behavior in terms of high luminescent intensity (85,563 a.u.) and super stability over 1300 consecutive tests;both are superior to those recently reported luminol-H2O2 and luminol-DO systems with smaller ECL intensities and consecutive tests less than 25 times. To validate the feasibility and versatility of the developed system in sensor, traditional three-electrodes system and closed bipolar electrodes system with various sensing strategies of direct oxidation, "gate-effect" of molecularly imprinted polymer, immune reaction, and enzyme-catalyzed reaction were proposed to monitor uric acid (UA), C-reactive protein (CRP), immunoglobulin G (IgG), and glucose (Glu). The superior sensing performances confirmed the great application potential of the developed ROS-mediated ECL system.

We present an innovative class of piezoelectric-micromachined - ultrasonic - transducer (pMUT)-based Ultra-High-Frequency (UHF) subharmonic tags (SubHTs) for far-field sensing. The proposed system leverages the dynamics of a 20x20 36%-doped Scandium Aluminum Nitride (ScAlN) pMUT-array operating at 550 kHz and those of time-modulated circuit components to passively sense ultrasound from long distances with electromagnetic waves. By encoding the low-frequency response of pMUT array into the amplitudes of modulated electrical signals at the output of the SubHT, our research eliminates the need for batteries in acoustic wireless-sensor-nodes (WSNs). This approach significantly enhances the capabilities of WSNs based on acoustic transducers, opening exciting new opportunities for such WSNs in a plethora of applications.

Nonlinear radar technology has been employed in various applications for a few decades, primarily focusing on second-order harmonic radar systems. This study delves into the potential benefits and drawbacks of utilizing higher-order harmonic radar systems. We present a comparative analysis between second- and third-order harmonic systems using Cadence AWR Visual System Simulator (VSS) followed by experimental validation. In the experiments, target emulation is achieved through nonlinear tags. In contrast, cluttered environments near the targets are simulated using corner reflectors, with the tag and the corner reflector moving at different frequencies facilitated by Zaber linear actuators. Our findings reveal both the advantages and limitations associated with higher-order systems, offering valuable insights into an underexplored area of research within the domain of harmonic radar technology. This contribution addresses the existing gap in the literature pertaining to higher-order harmonic radars by providing comparative analyses using both measurement and simulation data.
