NAWMS: nonintrusive autonomous water monitoring system
Younghun Kim,Thomas Schmid,Zainul Charbiwala,Jonathan Friedman,Mani Srivastava +4 more
- 05 Nov 2008
TL;DR: An adaptive auto-calibration procedure is devised, which attempts to solve a two phase linear programming and mixed linear geometric programming problem and shows an accuracy, over likely domestic flow-rate scenarios, with long-term stability and a mean absolute error of 7%.

TL;DR: This paper characterize the signaling and power delivery capability of the audio jack, design circuits and software to transfer data and harvest energy, and evaluate the performance of the designs.
Six-Degree-of-Freedom Localization of an Untethered Magnetic Capsule Using a Single Rotating Magnetic Dipole

- 01 Jan 2017
TL;DR: This paper presents a method to estimate the six-degree-of-freedom pose of a magnetic capsule, with an embedded permanent magnet and Hall-effect sensors, using a rotating dipole field, and demonstrates this is sufficient for propulsion of a screw-type magnetic capsule through a lumen using a single dipole to both propel and localize the capsule.

Temperature Compensated Time Synchronization
TL;DR: TCTS exploits the on-board temperature sensor existing in many sensor network platforms and uses this temperature sensor to autonomously calibrate the local oscillator and removes effects of environmental temperature changes, which allows a time synchronization protocol to increase its resynchronization period, without loosing synchronization accuracy, and thus saves energy and communication overhead.
