Living in an era characterized by the rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT), people can now easily access information about anything at anytime and anywhere. Still today, what is missing is that people cannot get relatively basic information of their ...

Myopia becomes a more and more serious worldwide problem as the number of myopic people (especially young people) grows rapidly. Efficient methods are required to monitoring the deterioration of nearsightness so as to take further treatment. This demo ...

We propose a hybrid architecture of wired and wireless sensors for smart fabric with applications including body dynamics and shape monitoring and patient rehabilitation. Our system is capable of acquiring data from up to 200 on-body sensors with 50Hz ...

The introduction of ubiquitously connected mobile computing platforms acted as a catalyst for accessing and enjoying multimedia/visual contents on a more diverse set of computing environments than ever before. Recently, with the standardization of ...

This paper focuses on using wearable equipment to make workers participate in constructing monitoring maps in large-scale petrochemical plants, which collaborates with static sensor nodes in given areas. Furthermore, this study provides a sensing pattern ...

As the compensation and extension of static wireless sensor nodes, wearable helmets can build regional early warning network of personnel security. In this paper, a wearable helmet is presented towards early warning of leaking toxic gas in large-scale ...

The respiration rate of a person provides critical information about their well-being. Conventionally, contact sensing is used for breathing monitoring; however, it is expensive, uncomfortable, and immobile. In-home non-contact breathing monitoring is ...

We present QueueVadis, a system that addresses the problem of estimating, in real-time, the properties of queues at commonplace urban locations, such as coffee shops, taxi stands and movie theaters. Abjuring the use of any queuing-specific ...

Activity recognition is an important component of many pervasive computing applications. Device-free activity recognition has the advantage that it does not have the privacy concern of using cameras and the subjects do not have to carry a device on ...

In typical US homes, water heating is the largest energy consumer besides space heating and cooling, and it accounts for approximately 17% of residential energy consumption on average. In this paper, we propose and evaluate a new technique to reduce ...
