... and development of ankle-foot prosthesis having real-time control feature for the above five terrains. Originality/value The noise-free data from three sensors were collected in the same time frame from both legs using a wireless sensor network between two transmitters and a single receiver. Unlike the data...

...Huiyuan Zhao; Yuxing Mao; Tao Cheng Purpose Application environments of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) include heterogeneous nodes with different packet sizes, transmission abilities and tolerable delay times. This study aims to design a reasonable network topology and transmission timing...

... the data delivery process. In high stress environments, e.g. underground mines and tunnels, real-time activity monitoring is an emerging issue. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play a key role in ensuring the safety of people working in underground mines and tunnels. WSN not only provide real-time...

... and their applications. Findings It is shown that solar‐powered sensors may be used as nodes in wireless sensor networks and also as stand‐alone devices. They offer a number of key operational and economic benefits and find applications in such diverse fields as structural and environmental monitoring, traffic...
