Now, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have cribbed the design for a strong, lightweight sensor from the lateral-line system.
By contrast the Arable PulsePod is solar-powered, lightweight, sensor laden top to bottom, and shaped like a small Frisbee.
Above studies show the PIR sensors can be used as the lightweight sensor network nodes for the distributed human-target-surveillance. Human identification is of practical importance for the information-associated tracking.
For numerical analysis of the adaptive control algorithms provided in Section 4 we consider a lightweight sensor in a wireless network that may transmit its status using few bits.
DREAMS-SIS is a highly miniaturized lightweight sensor designed for small meteorological stations, capable of estimating the aerosol optical depth (AOD) several times per sol, as well as performing a direct measurement of the global (direct plus scattered) irradiance on the Martian surface in the spectral range between 200 and 1100 nm.
The catchily-named D-Shirt is crafted from a lightweight sensor-woven fabric which is able to record your heart rate and speed when you're out on a run, keeping track of all your vital stats on a linked-up smartphone app via Bluetooth.
It consists of one small, lightweight sensor, and can monitor activity continuously for over seven days.
Compared to existing sensors that have been used for gait analysis [5,6,10], the e-AR sensor is a lightweight sensor (7.4 g) discreetly positioned behind the ear.
The ultra-lightweight sensors, specially designed for the race, will continuously measure heart and breathing rates, body temperature, stride, and pace, transmitting the data via Bluetooth to a cyclist riding alongside each participant.
