Smart vest for respiratory rate monitoring of COPD patients based on non-contact capacitive sensing
(MDPI, 2018)
In this paper, a first approach to the design of a portable device for non-contact monitoring of respiratory rate by capacitive sensing is presented. The sensing system is integrated into a smart vest for an untethered, ...

Event-Based MPC for defocusing and power production of a parabolic trough plant under power limitation
(Elsevier, 2018)
Optimal operation of a solar plant is generally understood as a tracking of the optimal working temperatures which maximize the net electric power. However, a commercial solar plant may receive a limitation from the ...
