An Optical Fiber Bundle Sensor for Tip Clearance and Tip Timing Measurements in a Turbine Rig
(MDPI, 2013-06)When it comes to measuring blade-tip clearance or blade-tip timing in turbines, reflective intensity-modulated optical fiber sensors overcome several traditional limitations of capacitive, inductive or discharging probe ... -
Classifier Subset Selection for the Stacked Generalization Method Applied to Emotion Recognition in Speech
(MDPI, 2016-01)In this paper, a new supervised classification paradigm, called classifier subset selection for stacked generalization (CSS stacking), is presented to deal with speech emotion recognition. The new approach consists of an ... -
Dealing with the Effects of Sensor Displacement in Wearable Activity Recognition
(MDPI, 2014-06)Most wearable activity recognition systems assume a predefined sensor deployment that remains unchanged during runtime. However, this assumption does not reflect real-life conditions. During the normal use of such systems, ... -
Design and Development of a Low-Cost Optical Current Sensor
(MDPI, 2013-10)In this paper we demonstrate the design of a low-cost optical current sensor. The sensor principle is the Faraday rotation of a light beam through a magneto-optical material, SF2, when a magnetic field is present. The ... -
Design of a Sensor Based on Plastic Optical Fibre (POF) to Measure Fluid Flow and Turbidity
(MDPI, 2009-05)Although many optical fibre applications are based on their capacity to transmit optical signals with low losses, it can also be desirable for the optical fibre to be strongly affected by a certain physical parameter in ... -
