Intelligent Carpet System, Based on Photonic Guided-Path Tomography, for Gait and Balance Monitoring in Home Environments
Jose A. Cantoral-Ceballos,N Nurgiyatna,Paul Wright,J. Vaughan,Christine Brown-Wilson,Patricia Scully,Krikor B. Ozanyan +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a photonic variant of the previously introduced Guided-Path Tomography (GPT) is used for footstep imaging using Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) sensors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Writing parameters for 3D refractive index structures in polymethyl methacrylate using femtosecond radiation at 400 nm
Shijie Liang,Patricia Scully,Joerg Schille,J. Vaughan,Mohammed Benyezzar,Dun Liu,Walter Perrie +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of laser writing parameters and focusing conditions was studied to optimise the pulse energy, pulses spacing and focusing depth in the material, and permanent sub-surface refractive index structures with a minimum feature size (similar to 3 mu m) at a depth of similar to 500 mu m demonstrated the feasibility of writing flexible 3D microstructures within a thin PMMA substrate.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Floor sensors of animal weight and gait for precision livestock farming
TL;DR: A pilot low profile rubberized mat sensor heads are demonstrated, delivering a large number of plastic optical fiber transmission measurements taken frequently from individual deformation sensors, allowing gait analysis from guided-path tomography images or by machine learning.

Fibre optic sweat sensor
Patricia Jane Scully,J. Vaughan +1 more
TL;DR: A sensor for sweat or other aqueous discharge onto skin comprises a plastic optical fibre comprising a core and cladding, said core being in intimate contact at the first end with a light emitter and at the second end with light detector, and said fibre having a sensing zone in which the cladding is replaced by a water-permeable translucent biocompatible polymer containing dispersed therein a bi-compatible indicator that varies the intensity of an optical signal at a selected wavelength depending on whether the indicator is wet or dry as discussed by the authors.
