This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to design sensors and systems that can be sensitive to small signal levels even when immersed by background noise, may require out-of-the-box thinking. Biology can provide inspiration to achieve that, allowing the engineering landscape to borrow interesting ideas with the aim to solve current human problems. Biological sensor, system and signal processing designs are a result of many million years of evolutionary processes, which make them very-power efficient and well-adapted to perform their functions in a living organism.

This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can scientists and engineers replicate Nature and develop systems that operate in extreme environments? Bio-inspiration is an established concept which is developing to meet the needs of the many challenges we face particularly in defence and security. This book explores the potential of bio-inspired materials and sensing systems together with examples of how they are being implemented. It is not an exhaustive study of the subject but provides an overview of how bio-inspired or -derived approaches can be used to enhance components, systems and systems of systems for defence and security applications. Readers will gain an awareness of the complexity and versatility of bio-inspired components as well as an understanding of how these technologies can be applied in a variety of operational scenarios. Consideration is given to using a conceptual model that can be deployed in distributed or autonomous operations. Using this model, bio-inspiration with behavioural science plays a major role in identification, movement, searching strategies and pattern recognition for chemical and biological detection. Examples focus on both learning new things from nature that have application to the defence and security areas and adapting known discoveries for practical use by these communities. This graduate level monograph provides an increased awareness of the need for more sophisticated, networked sensors and systems in the defence and security communities and will be of interest to both specialists in this area and science and technology generalists.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examples of bio-inspired technology can be found almost everywhere in society: robots with specific capabilities, materials with unique physical and chemical properties, aerodynamic systems, and architectonic structures are a few examples of taking profit of evolution-driven processes to solve common engineering problems. One field of research taking advantage of bio-inspiration is that of acoustical engineering, aiming to find solutions to problems arising from the miniaturisation of microphones and loudspeakers. Studying the auditory organs of insects to seek inspiration for new design structures is one of the best ways to solve such an important problem. Another discipline of science that has experienced a research boom is that of materials science, as development of new materials has attracted the attention of researchers. In addition, three-dimensional (3D) printers have contributed to further development in materials science making the production process more efficient. The aim of this research is to bring these fields of science together to develop novel bioinspired, polymer-based sensors presenting functional specific acoustic properties after 3D-printing. While the study of complex biological hearing systems provides inspiration to develop sensors featuring specific properties, the use of polymer-based materials allows the customization of the manufacturing process, as the produced parts adapt to the desired needs. In this thesis one such insect auditory system that has been thoroughly studied is that of the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria as it presents a simple structure that allows for acoustic frequency selectivity and displays nonlinear acoustic phenomena. Prior to the development of a bio-inspired system, a mathematical description of the mechanical response of such a structure is presented. Furthermore, the physical behaviours measured on the locust tympanal membrane have been studied using finite element analysis. The 3D-printed functional sensors have been used to determine the degree of accuracy between experimental and theoretical results.

The event took place in the city of York, UK, in December 2011. Bionetics main objective is to bring bio-inspired paradigms into computer engineering and networking, and to enhance the fruitful interactions between these fields and biology. The papers of the conference were accepted in 2 categories: full papers and work-in progress. Full papers describe significant advances in the Bionetics field, while work-in-progress papers present an opportunity to discuss breaking research which is currently being evaluated. The topics are ranging from robotic coordination to attack detection in peer-to-peer networks, biological mechanisms including evolution, flocking and artificial immune systems, and nano-scale communication and networking.
Download or read book Bio inspired Hydro acoustic Sensor for Sensing Directivity of Sound written by Jin-Hyuk Lee and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this research is to develop a biomimetic miniature underwater acoustic sensor for the measurement of the directivity of underwater sound. In contrast to a hydrophone array which detects direction by the arrival time of the sound waves this novel sensor is based on a mechanically coupled mechanism which amplifies the time delay by an order of two. In this research and design effort we develop a comprehensive mathematical model of the sensor in order to understand and optimize its performance characteristics. Fluid mass load and fluid-structure radiation are evaluated using both finite element analysis (FEA) and models obtained from the literature. It shows that the bio-inspired sensor can be designed to be directionally sensitive and operational at around up to 2 kHz within the current design limitation (2-D) and the micro range. This is because there is a tradeoff between the time delay amplification and the bandwidth of the sensor. This tradeoff and parametric study lead us to a design optimization of the sensor. For the design optimization, two independent optimization problems are solved: Amplification optimization of the time delay of the sensor and phase difference varying optimization with respect to the angle of incidence of the incoming sound. As an example, the results of the several different design optimizations are presented. Based on the design optimization, it is compared to the FEA simulation and shows a good agreement.
Download or read book Bio Inspired Innovation and National Security written by National Defense University and published by NDU Press. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the vital importance of the emerging area of biotechnology and its role in defense planning and policymaking, no definitive book has been written on the topic for the defense policymaker, the military student, and the private-sector bioscientist interested in the "emerging opportunities market" of national security. This edited volume is intended to help close this gap and provide the necessary backdrop for thinking strategically about biology in defense planning and policymaking. This volume is about applications of the biological sciences, here called "biologically inspired innovations," to the military. Rather than treating biology as a series of threats to be dealt with, such innovations generally approach the biological sciences as a set of opportunities for the military to gain strategic advantage over adversaries. These opportunities range from looking at everything from genes to brains, from enhancing human performance to creating renewable energy, from sensing the environment around us to harnessing its power.

Download or read book Design of a Biologically Inspired Directional Acoustic Sensor written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of a novel, biologically inspired acoustic sensor will be presented. The primary goal of this effort is to construct a miniature device that is capable of detecting the orientation of an incident sound source with an accuracy of 2 deg. The design approach follows from our investigation of the mechanics of directional hearing in the parasitoid fly, Ormia ochracea. This animal has been shown to be able to detect changes in the line of bearing as small as 2 deg A. Mason, M. Oshinsky, and R. Hoy, "Hyperacute directional hearing in a micro-scale auditory system," Nature 4/5/01. The tympanal structures of the ears of this animal suggest a novel approach to designing very small directionally sensitive microphones. Candidate microphone diaphragm designs are presented that are being fabricated using silicon microfabrication technology. Model results indicate that the design can achieve significant performance improvements over the conventional approach of making directional microphones. This includes a nearly 20 dB reduction in self-noise, and roughly a factor of 10 improvement in low frequency sensitivity.
