For two locations within the surf zone sea surface elevations were observed using a wave staff and a pressure sensor while simultaneously the two horizontal orthogonal components, u and v, of water particle velocity were measured. Surface elevations derived from pressure sensors are lower, mainly in the region of the crest, compared with the same surface elevations measured with wave gages. Pressure records are more smoothed than wave gage records, and the energy computed for waves measured with a pressure sensor is consistently smaller than for waves measured with a wave gage. Methods for converting pressure to surface elevation are given which include the non-linear velocity term (u sq + v sq) which is usually neglected in the Bernoulli equation. Two techniques are proposed to include this term: (1) flowmeters are used to measure u and v, and (2) the Bernoulli term is derived by determining the velocities by convolving the pressure records using a weighting function determined from shallow water theory.

Core topics of the work are the vehicle access systems such as PAssive Start and Entry (PASE), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) as well as Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Two goals are followed: the development of antennas and functionality analysis from RF (Radio Frequency) point of view and improvement of system parts. The overall objective of this work is to advance the state-of-the-art vehicular electromagnetic simulation taking into account the vehicle body and nearest surroundings.

This book introduces the basics of the Internet of Things (IoT) and explores the foundational role of sensors in IoT applications. The IoT is a network of devices and objects: sensors, actuators, hardware, software, human beings, domestic appliances, health monitoring equipment, and other things connected to the internet, which is designed to operate in a coordinated fashion to receive, process, and interpret signals and take appropriate action. It provides a seamless real-time interface between the physical and digital worlds by integrating sensors with networking, computation, and actuation facilities. This book sketches a perspective of the IoT with sensors as the focus of attention. Diverse applications of the IoT that are destined to make an impact on our everyday lives in the near future are discussed. It presents a comprehensive overview of the most recent sensor technologies used in the IoT to keep the reader abreast of the current advances at the frontiers of knowledge. The book will cater to student and professional audiences, and will be useful for postgraduate and Ph.D. students studying physics, engineering, and computer science as well as researchers, engineers, and industrial workers engaged in this fast-progressing field. Key Features: • Explains the basic concepts and important terms of ‘Internet of Things’ in simple language • Provides an up-to-date coverage of the key sensors used in IoT applications • Explores IoT applications in smart cities, smart agriculture, smart factory, and many more
