Indoor localization is a key topic for the Ambient Intelligence (AmI) research community. In this scenarios, recent advancements in wearable technologies, particularly smartwatches with built-in sensors, and personal devices, such as smartphones, are being seen breakthrough making concrete envisioned Smart Environment (SE) paradigm. particular, scenarios devoted to indoor represent challenge be addressed. Many works try solve issue, but lack of common dataset or frameworks compare evaluate...
Assessing hearing in neonates and uncooperative patients can be challenging. Pupil dilation response (PDR) as an objective physiological measure may offer a solution. To test its feasibility, PDRs were averaged to sequence of 60-100 audible tones (same frequency amplitude). This was performed subjects with normal communication abilities, who exposed two different lighting levels. We evaluated whether post-stimulus intervals significantly from randomly generated averages pupil traces recorded...
Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout our life. Getting enough quality sleep at the right times can help protect mental physical health, of life, safety. Emerging wearable devices allow people to measure keep track duration, patterns, quality. Often, these approaches are intrusive change user's daily habits. In this paper, we present an unobtrusive approach for detection stages positions. The proposed system is able overcome weakness classic actigraphy-based...
In this work, we investigate the performance of a proximity detection system for visitors in an indoor museum exploiting data collected from crowd. More specifically, propose CrowdSensing-based technique detection. Users' smartphones can collect and upload RSS (Received Signal Strength) values nearby Bluetooth tags to backend server, together with some context-information. turn, are elaborated goal calibrating two algorithms: range-based learning-based algorithm. We embed algorithms R-app,...
This paper describes a data collection experiment and the resulting dataset based on Bluetooth beacon messages collected in an indoor museum. The goal of this is to study algorithms techniques for proximity detection between people points interest (POI). To purpose, we release during 32 museum's visits, which vary adopted smartphones visiting paths. smartphone used collect beacons emitted by tags positioned nearby each POI. layout defines order visit 10 artworks. combination different...
In this work, an innovative adsorber for application in adsorption heat pumps and chillers is presented. The consists of several assembled graphite plates the flow path transfer fluid. Each plate a process side (where zeolite deposited onto) fluid (HTF) where liquid water flows. resulting adsorbent exchanger able to deliver about 0.5-1 kW cooling power possesses attractive thermo physical properties, especially term low weight, volume thermal capacity. Experimental testing full-scale by...
The problem of providing assistive services to elderly in smart cities is becoming important due the aging population developed countries. possibility using personal devices like smartphones be assisted also outside house a key factor guarantee independency users still remaining connected his caregivers network. We identified development suitable mobile middleware one main solution barrier deployment distributed AAL services. In this scenario, we show effectiveness proposed, called...
Thermal energy storage (TES) is a key technology to enhance the efficiency of systems as well increase share renewable energies. In this context, present paper reports literature review recent advancement in field adsorption TES systems. After first introduction about different heat technologies, working principle explained and compared other technologies. Subsequently, promising features critical issues at material, component system levels are deeply analyzed ongoing activities make ready...
The ageing population has become an increasing phenomenon world-wide, leading to a growing need for specialised help. Improving the quality of life older people can lower risk depression and social isolation, but it requires multi-dimensional approach through continuous monitoring training main health domains (e.g., cognitive, motor, nutritional behavioural). To this end, use mobile e-health services tailored user’s needs help stabilise their conditions, in terms physical, mental,...
The RE.S.I.STO project targets visitors of Pisa medieval city, with the goal providing high-quality digital contents accessible smart devices. We describe design, implementation and test phases application, whose is to automatically detect proximity between artworks. Proximity detected a set algorithms based on analysis Bluetooth Low Energy beacons. detail our experimental campaigns which reproduce several museum layouts increasing complexity at two pilot sites, we compute performance...
In the present work, two different types of heat exchangers are experimentally compared, namely a fin-and-tubes custom made HEX and commercial asymmetric plate exchanger, for application with phase change materials. particular, devices were tested in specifically designed testing rig located at CNR-ITAE suitable characterization thermal energy storages. The bench allows simulating source up to 100°C (e.g. solar collectors, low-grade waste heat) set desired discharge temperature range...
