    A low-cost sensing system for quality monitoring of dairy products
    (IEEE, 2006) Mukhopadhyay SC; Gooneratne CP; Sen Gupta G; Demidenko SN
    The dairy industry is in need of a cost-effective, highly reliable, very accurate, and fast measurement system to monitor the quality of dairy products. This paper describes the design and fabrication works undertaken to develop such a system. The techniques used center around planar electromagnetic sensors operating with radio frequency excitation. Computer-aided computation, being fast, facilitates on-line monitoring of the quality. The sensor technology proposed has the ability to perform volumetric penetrative measurements to measure properties throughout the bulk of the product. © 2006 IEEE.

    Characterization and comparative evaluation of novel planar electromagnetic sensors
    (IEEE Magnetics Society, 2005) Mukhopadhyay SC; Gooneratne CP; Sen Gupta G; Yamada S
    The characterization of three types of novel planar electromagnetic sensors: 1) meander; 2) mesh; and 3) interdigital configuration, has been studied and their comparative performance has been evaluated based on their areas of applications. All of them are suitable for inspection and evaluation of system properties without destroying them. The experiments on fabricated sensors have been conducted and the results are presented here. The target application is to use a mixture of different types of sensors to detect plastic landmines. © 2005 IEEE.
