Multi-steps diagnosis of discrete event systems with Petri net models
The aim of diagnosis is to detect and isolate faults according to the observable traces generated by the system. This article concerns multi-steps diagnosis of discrete event systems modelled with ordinary Petri nets. The main contribution is to decide which sets of places must be considered for r-steps diagnosis of some fault transitions or groups of fault transitions. Conditions and algorithms ...

Risk-based sensor placement methods for burst/leak detection in water distribution systems
The optimal placement of sensors for burst/leak detection in water distribution systems is usually formulated as an optimisation problem. In this study three different risk-based functions are used to drive optimal location of a given number of sensors in a water distribution network. A simple function based on likelihood of leak non-detection is compared with two other risk-based functions, ...

Impact parameters investigation of DNA immobilisation process on DNA sensor response
This paper studies impact parameters of DNA sequence immobilisation on DNA sensor response. The parameters were examined including immobilisation time, carbon nanotubes concentration, DNA probe concentration and pH value. The DNA probe sequences were immobilised on surface of microelectrodes by using multi–walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as mediator. The hybridisation between DNA probe and DNA ...

Does Your Ultrasonic Sensor Need Maintenance?
Maintenance is important, but it’s often hard to quantify. How much time does maintenance take? How often does your system need it? Does maintaining one part necessitate a complete system shut down? What does that represent in lost income because your system is not making product? Maintenance is important, but minimizing maintenance is even more important. Maintenance is also important for ...

Innovative Sensor Technology Temperature Sensors in Deep Space
Since the early space explorations by German scientist more than 70 years ago, there is a rising demand for further exploration and experiments in this area. In the meantime, the first shots of Earth were taken, animals were sent into space for survival test and the first full circulation of our Planet by a satellite, the unmanned, soviet Sputnik 1, was conducted successfully. On April 12th ...
