Terahertz (THz) time- domain spectroscopy (TDS) technology has greatly advanced various THz applications ranging from fundamental science to industrial non-destructive imaging. However, traditional THz-TDS systems rely on complex setups with femtosecond pulse lasers and bulky free-space optical components, hindering their miniaturization. A more practical approach introduces THz frequency domain imaging using semiconductor laser diodes, which replace femtosecond laser and facilitate integration into photonic integrated circuit (PIC) chips. Despite its promise, addressing real-world imaging applications remains challenging due to the need for free-space optics, which also negatively impact resolution due to the diffraction limit. To overcome this limitation, this study explores the use of silicon (Si) microphotonics, focusing on an integrated Y-junction that operates as an interferometer. The Y-junction essentially replaces all free-space components, paving the way towards compact, monolithically integrated all-silicon structures that span just similar to 1 cm. We demonstrate near-field imaging at 325 GHz employing the Y-junction. The experiments achieve a 500-mu m spatial resolution and a 100-mu m depth resolution, showcasing potential for handheld THz near-field imaging sensors.

Fatigue induced by physical exertion and environmental stress remains a critical safety concern in construction and other physically demanding industries. This paper investigates whether integrating wearable sensor data (EMG, HR, HRV) and thermal conditions (hot, room, cold) can improve real-time fatigue prediction. Physiological signals were collected using wearable sensors, processed through noise filtering and feature extraction, and classified using Random Forest Classifier and Extreme Gradient Boosting algorithms. The models demonstrated high predictive accuracy, achieving 80% for continuous fatigue levels and over 90% for categorical fatigue classes. These findings are particularly valuable for construction safety managers, occupational health researchers, and technology developers seeking proactive fatigue management solutions. Future research should focus on field validation of wearable systems and integration with site management platforms such as BIM for broader industry adoption.

Over the past decade, 60% of people have been affected by spinal curvature at some point in their lives. It is a disease of the spine bones such as kyphosis, lordosis, and scoliosis that affects humans and occurs most commonly in adults, although the cause of most childhood cases is unknown. Everyone has some degree of curvature, but when it exceeds about certain degrees, it causes turbulence and difficulty breathing. It is diagnosed by methods such as X-rays and other measurements. It is treated using a variety of techniques, such as Back support requires less adjustment and is more comfortable. This may cause back pain, injury, and ventilation insufficiency for the person wearing the brace. The main goal of our research is to develop a spinal brace with circuits to detect the biomechanical properties of the spine in order to develop innovative and improved functions. The proposed system used for detection spinal curvature angle using biomechanical sensors like IMU and flex sensors. The sensor data is processed by NodeMCU so that the data can be compared with real-time data. When a difference is detected, a signal is passed to a vibrator and it begin alert. Furthermore, the system enhances the automatic correction with pressure cuff mechanism. The developed system overcome the disadvantages of traditional construction methods and proposes a model with high flexibility, strength, durability, and breathability. The system is resulting in less pain, better ventilation, and increased comfort and adjustability. The conclusion marks that the system has better efficiency and effectiveness in usage, which made bridge between gap of clinical and remote assessment

Strain sensors based on conductive and flexible textiles are gaining great relevance in research applications, rehabilitation, and sports medicine for monitoring human joints movements, thanks to their flexibility, negligible weight, and easy integration into substrates and wearable systems. The purpose of this work was twofold: i) to carry out the static characterization and to analyze the hysteresis of two textile-based strain sensors integrated into a polymeric matrix, and ii) to evaluate the feasibility of these sensors in monitoring scapular movements during bilateral arms abduction-adduction and flexion-extension. Results showed a comparable range of resistance variation at 0-20% strain during static characterization, with a mean absolute gauge factor of 2.65 (sensor A) and 2.12 (sensor B). The maximum hysteresis error was always lower than 31% for sensor A and lower than 27% for sensor B. Both sensors showed promising results in monitoring scapular motion during the two selected single-plane upper limb movements.

We report an ultrathin molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) membrane-based temperature sensor with sensitivity in the sub-Kelvin range. The resonant frequency of ultrathin MoS2 resonators is extremely sensitive to the intrinsic strain of the membrane. We utilize the resonant frequency shift caused due to change in strain to demonstrate the potential of these devices for ultrasensitive temperature sensing. The temperature coefficient of frequency (TCf) of the MoS2 drum resonator is estimated to be -283 ppm/K. We also report the first study on the frequency stability of MoS2 resonators at room temperature. The Allan deviation of these resonators is similar to 5 x 10(-5) at an integration time of 1 second. This study estimates the ultimate temperature detection limit of MoS2 membrane-based device.

Rapid infrastructure expansion and growing emphasis on smart sustainable cities, demand the need for reliable, real-time coating health monitoring (CHM) techniques to ensure mechanical stability and prevent safety hazards. This work presents a microwave-based CHM system consisting of a passive array of split ring resonator (SRR) sensor integrated with augmented reality, for real-time non-destructive coating damage inspection and enhanced visualization capabilities. The developed system operates by monitoring the variations in the resonant response of the SRR array, caused by the loss in coating thickness due to operational and environmental wear. The SRR array is layered with 0.3 mm thick film-like polyethylene-based coating and gradually eroded. The system demonstrates a resonant frequency increase of similar to 331 MHz upon the erosive wear of the coating. The integration of augmented reality with the developed system provides a real-time and intuitive visualization of the system response and its corresponding damage assessment, providing a significant low-cost solution in areas that are traditionally challenging to monitor. The developed system promises the potential of microwave-based sensing integrated with augmented reality-based visualization, in out-of-sight monitoring for applications including pipelines, aircraft, bridges, and naval infrastructure.

In this research, the proposed system HealthEdge, a new IoT-based intelligent health monitoring framework based on edge computing and a diverse sensor array that includes breathing frequency (RR), pulse rate (PR), oxygen saturation level in blood (SpO2), galvanic skin response (GSR), body temperature and hemoencephalography as vital signs sensors, as well as a formaldehyde sensor to gauge environmental influence on health. HealthEdge utilizes a powerful Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) to perform and analyze the data in real-time at the edge, ensuring ultra-low latency and amplified privacy. The model is capable of identifying health anomalies with a high accuracy of 97% which is demonstrating its potential in real-time health observation and anomaly detection. The potential role of environmental quality measurements in particular formaldehyde levels, in imposing on health conditions, thereby spreading the purview of the monitoring system beyond the traditional set of parameters have been explored. The integration of edge computing not only addresses the challenges that conventional systems face in maintaining a balance between privacy concerns and processing speed, it is also a state-of-the-art technology which enables HealthEdge to become the new norm for complete and real-time health monitoring solutions.

There is a need to monitor the fuel level in diesel generator systems to ensure an uninterrupted power supply. Recent techniques such as ultrasonic sensors and float-based systems have faced challenges including high costs, mechanical wear, and limited accuracy in varying environmental conditions. Additionally, integrating these systems with real-time communication networks and mobile interfaces presents significant difficulties. This research study proposes a novel IoT system to monitor diesel levels in a diesel generator tank. The proposed work focuses on developing a wireless diesel tank monitoring system utilizing the WebSocket protocol for real-time communication between fuel sensors and a mobile app in remote locations. The mobile app, accessible via Wi-Fi networks, offers a simple interface for users to log in, view current diesel levels of different tanks, and access consumption statistics. Diesel levels are presented as a percentage, converted from voltage measurements. The system sends notifications if levels fall below predetermined thresholds. One challenge faced in this system is the need to cut the length of the sensor to fit the tank, which affects the sensor's accuracy. Despite this, the integration of the capacitive fuel level sensor, ESP8266 micro controller, and WebSocket communication enables a seamless and robust solution for diesel level monitoring. A potential divider circuit was used for mapping the sensor output to the on-chip ADC of the ESP8266 micro controller. This efficient and user-friendly solution aims to optimize diesel usage and facilitate timely refills in remote areas. This paper contributes to the field of remote monitoring systems by offering a practical and scalable solution for diesel level monitoring in diverse applications.

This study addresses the integration of wireless sensor networks, machine learning models, and go-layer architecture to embellish industrial processes in small-scale manufacturing. A strong monitoring infrastructure is produced by the incorporation of various sensors, proximity, temperature, pressure, vibration, UWB, and RFID. Cross-layer arrangement, along with localization methodologies, gives spatial context to sensor information, enhancing safety, predictive maintenance, and asset monitoring. K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), and Decision Trees (DT) act as predictive models, exhibiting outstanding overall performance across accuracy, precision, keep in mind, and F1 Score criteria. Practical deployment in a small-scale firm, displaying CNC machines and forging stations, illustrates the machine's versatility. Results suggest the models' success in forecasting replies relying completely on dynamic sensor data, allowing actual-time selection-making. The system's usefulness supports enhanced safety measures, simpler maintenance processes, and optimal asset management. In addition to offering practical insights to organisations navigating the challenges of Industry 4.0, this research adds to the theoretical framework of move-layer layout and machine learning integration. The suggested system emerges as a complete solution for intelligent operational improvement and performance in modern day industrial settings.
