An ordinary optical fiber ultra-high temperature sensor based on infrared radiation with the
advantages of simple structure and compact is presented. The sensing system consists of a …

Traditional fracture diagnosis relies solely on medical images, which have limited diagnostic
effectiveness. This article proposes a biocompatible sensor using fiber Bragg grating (FBG) …

Despite the complexity of bone callus formation, the evaluation of fracture healing is usually
performed based on x-ray visual inspection, a subjective and imprecise method. The main …

In clinical practice, the evaluation of bone healing is based on radiographs and manual
examination of fracture mobility. In these analyses, the patients are often exposed to high …

In this paper field measurements are carried out using a distributed acoustic sensing system
(DAS) for the identification of horse gait. The DAS system has a spatial resolution of 1 m …

This paper presents the development and application of an electrical impedance sensor
allied with an optical fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor whereby both are integrated in …

This chapter presents optical fibre sensing concepts applied to biological systems under the
perspective of mechanics, particularly that of living tissues: biomechanics. It provides a …

This work presents the improvement of the control methodology for a robotic smart foot with
optical sensors to proprioception and using a hybrid adaptive controller with fuzzy logic and …

A sapphire fiber optic sensor for ultra-high temperature is developed, which owns the
advantages of high temperature tolerance and compact. The detecting fiber is manufactured …

Understanding stresses within the joint is central to understanding the etiology and
progression of osteoarthritis (OA), as well as the effects of clinical interventions meant to …
