Internet of things based multi-sensor patient fall detection system
(National Center for Biotechnology Information, 2019)
Accidental falls of patients cannot be completely prevented. However, timely fall detection can help prevent further complications such as blood loss and unconsciousness. In this study, the authors present a cost-effective ...
Numerical Analysis of Film Cooling Shield Formed by Confined Jet Discharging on a Flat Plate
(International Information and Engineering Technology Association, 2019)
The effects of centrifugal force and thermal conductivity on the effectiveness of a film cooling shield are investigated in this study. A confined jet with 90 degree angle is used, to inject cooling fluid into hot steam, ...
TCAD Simulation and Analysis of Selective Buried Oxide MOSFET Dynamic Power
(MDPI, 2019)
Low power consumption has become one of the major requirements for most microelectronic devices and systems. Increasing power dissipation may lead to decreasing system effciency and lifetime. The BULK metal oxide semiconductor ...
Use of Aluminum Alloy Plates as Externally Bonded Shear Reinforcement for R/C Beams
(Elsevier, 2019)
Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) and steel had proven to be very effective as externally bonded shear strengthening materials However, they both have their shortcomings. Recently developed high strength Aluminum Alloy (AA) ...
Vigilance Decrement and Enhancement Techniques: A Review
(MDPI, 2019)
