Assuming that node axial orientations are unknown, all angles are measured to calculate the angle differences between two nodes viewed by the third one. Then, localization problems are formulated as convex optimization ones and all geometric relationships among different nodes in the communication range are transformed into linear or quadratic constraints. If all measurements are accurate, the localization problem can be formulated as linear programming (LP). Otherwise, by incorporating auxiliary variables, it can be regarded as quadratic programming (QP). Simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

The hardware units of the sensor network are wearable accelerometers that are attached at the limbs of human body. For the specific task of gait analysis, flexion angles of the thighs during gait cycles are computed. A Kalman filter is designed to estimate the flexion-extension angle, angular velocity of the thigh using the output of the wearable accelerometers. The proposed approach has been applied to four subjects and the performance is compared with video-based approach. Comparative results indicate that with the proposed Kalman filter, the sensor network is able to track the movement of the thighs during gait cycles with good accuracy and simultaneously detect major gait event of foot contact from the waveform of the angular velocity.展开更多

Since a group of targets moves collectively and is restricted within a limited region, it is not worth consuming scarce resources of sensors in computing the trajectory of each single target. Hence, in this paper, the problem is modeled as tracking a geographical continuous region covered by all targets. A tracking algorithm is proposed to estimate the region covered by the target group in each sampling period. Based on the locations of sensors and the azimuthal angle of arrival (AOA) information, the estimated region covering all the group members is obtained. Algorithm analysis provides the fundamental limits to the accuracy of localizing a target group. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to the existing hull algorithm due to the reduction in estimation error, which is between 10% and 40% of the hull algorithm, with a similar density of sensors. And when the density of sensors increases, the localization accuracy of the proposed algorithm improves dramatically.展开更多

By tuning the twist angle between two layers, one can modulate their electronic band structures and therefore the associated electrical transport and optical properties, which are distinct from the original ones of each individual layer. These new properties excite great passion in the exploration of new quantum states and possible applications of 2D bilayers. In this article, we will mainly review the prevailing fabrication methods and emerging physical properties of twisted bilayer materials and lastly give out a perspective of this topic.展开更多
