It is worth mentioning that for the communication of useful information the operating point of the sensors must always be specified in terms of sensor temperature, electrical or magnetic polarization, and number of fundamental blocks of the sensor model (figure 2). 

We use the basic sensor model proposed in [4]. While this has limitations, it is simple and therefore useful as a starting point for discussion of the problem. In this model, the sensor is characterized by a measurement noise covariance matrix which is waveform dependent...

Sensor voltage characteristics of the crucible type oxygen sensor. According to the oxygen sensor model used in this analysis, the oxygen partial pressure Po2(0) at the measurement electrode can be expressed by Equations 28- 32, 3, and 35. Calculated results for the sensor voltage are shown in Figure 9-... 

The eight reaction steps in the sensor model include a variety of chemical and physical processes, all of which are influenced by the system components shown in Fig. 1. The sensor is usually designed so that the kinetics of the physical processes (i.e., mass transport by diffusion) are limiting, but it is possible to construct sensors that exhibit performance characteristics limited by the kinetics of the chemical/electrochemical processes.

Soft sensors can be used for closed-loop control, but caution must be used to ensure that the soft-sensor model is applicable under all operating conditions. Presumably one would need to test any potential process condition to validate a soft-sensor model in the pharmaceutical industry, making their use in closed-loop control impracticable due to the lengthy validation requirements. An important issue in the use of soft sensors is what to do if one or more of the input variables are not available due, for example, to sensor failure or maintenance needs. Under such circumstances, one must rely on multivariate models to reconstruct or infer the missing sensor variable.45 A discussion of validating soft sensors for closed-loop control is beyond the scope of this book. 

Luminescence has already been considered in general terms in Chapter 5. Luminescent POPAM dendrimers of various generations with peripheral dansyl units were studied by Balzani and Vogtle et al. as sensor model systems with regard to the fundamental suitability of dendritic structures for multiplication of signalling groups (multi-labelling) [48].

The functions f and g are called sensor models. These models can be complicated, especially when multistep signal conversion and cross interactions between different components and types of energy have to be taken into account. Therefore we need to deal with the output signals of different transducing elements within a signal path in more detail (next section). 

The sensor response to a given value of the measurand can be predicted by the sensor transfer function F, Y = F(X) determined from a theoretical sensor model or a sensor calibration. However, the value of the measurand determined by the sensor X easured differs from the true value of the measurand Xtrue ... 

An impulse response analysis (Equation 4.78) can be performed on the SAW sensor model to gain insights into the sensor response. The frequency response is calculated using Equation 4.77. Figure 4.15 shows the insertion loss computed for the device over a frequency span of 500 MHz. The insertion loss of the sensor resulting from H2 absorption -1.5 dB.

Oh et al. have proposed the use of two optic flow sensors to provide real-time feedback on both obstacles and altitude [10]. The sensor model that they tested weighed just 4.8 g, had an optic flow rate of 20 rad/s, and was approximately the size of a US quarter. One sensor should be placed on a gimbal so that it is always facing directly toward the ground, and the other should be forward facing. For the sensors, the rate of optic flow (rad/s) is equal to... 

In this section a proof of proposed concept of using IPMCs for energy harvesting applications is presented. Also an IPMC sensor model is formulated for better understanding of the energy harvesting mechanisms [Tiwari et al. (2008)].

Information flow, management, and representation are integral and often tightly conpled concepts within EOFS, Information flows from prodncers (e.g., sensors, models) to consnmers (e.g., models or end users) through a complex transportation system (e.g., Internet, Ethernet, or modem connections) complete with parking lots (e.g., storage devices)—e.g.. Fig. 10. Emphasis is often on concepts snch as timeliness, end-to-end data delivery, and relevance to consnmer, freqnently in detriment of sophisticated representation. 

All methods described above can be categorized as automated case-by-case simulations based on accidents. There are two more aspects which are of importance for a sound system evaluation during the pre-crash phase. Many processes involved are deterministic, e.g., the participants dynamics, the technical functions implemented, as well as many physical boundary conditions. However, some of the key processes do have a stochastic nature for example, the driver action and reaction as well as some characteristics, e.g., of the sensors modeled. Due to the sensitivity of the results to those processes, stochastic elements are an important feature of any representative evaluation (see also Sect. 3.4). 

For static and (structural) dynamic analysis, for determination of eigenfre-quencies and eigenmodes, several different commercial tools exist such as NASTRAN, ABAQUS or ANSYS. Some of them are also able to handle actuators and piezoelectric materials, and also to carry out some types of model reduction techniques. Nevertheless, specific techniques might have to be established by the user via accessing the modal data base. These data are then also used to set up a modal or otherwise condensed state-space representation possibly including specific actuator and sensor models. A description of the transformation of finite-element models from ANSYS to dynamic models in state space form in MATLAB can be found in [20]. 

At time t the force reconstruction unit determines the reconstructed force value Fr(i) which generates the measured value ymit) for the measured driving value Xjn t)- This can be done with the sensor model (6.55) by means of solving the implicit equation... 

In this example, the possibility of sensor failures is excluded and the sensor measurements are assumed to be identical to the equipment states of Tank 1 and 2. As a result, the sensor models can be omitted. It is also assumed that the required mixing ratio of A-B is 1. Thus, an off-spec product may be produced if the amounts of A and B in Tank 3 are not equal. This undesirable outcome is flagged with a discrete place in Fig. 12.
