Summary: This article introduces the basic principles, classification, and main features of RFID technology and wireless sensor networks, and establishes the system architecture of vehicle speed detection based on RFID-based wireless sensor network nodes. By studying the vehicle speed detection method based on the RFID road system in different road scenarios, a dynamic vehicle speed measurement algorithm based on RFID is proposed. The simulation experiment results show that the dynamic speed measurement algorithm proposed in this article can detect the instantaneous speed of the passing vehicle more accurately.

Summary: A novel application of NSGA II is presented for obtaining the charging current-time tradeoff curve in battery-based underwater wireless sensor nodes. The research explores the tradeoff between charging currents and times, showing that the presented methodology requires at least four times less computational effort and reduces required power consumption by at least 3.3 dB in worst-case scenarios compared to a bisection search strategy.

Summary: This paper addresses the problem of optimizing power allocation for energy-harvesting sensors in an IoT system. The goal is to minimize the number of transmissions required for high-fidelity reconstruction of original observations. The authors propose a method to construct an effective measurement matrix, taking into account the availability of energy at each sensor. The problem is non-convex, but the authors apply a sequence of surrogate convex problems to find the solution. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed framework improves the tradeoff between reconstruction accuracy and the number of transmissions.

Summary: Unlike high-speed applications, freight trains lack monitoring systems, so an innovative hybrid monitoring system was developed to improve the safety and reliability of freight vehicles and the infrastructure. The system was tested on a real freight wagon and proved effective for diagnostic activities. Furthermore, relying solely on GPS information was found to provide accurate georeferenced data for freight train applications.

Summary: Self-powered wireless sensor nodes with energy harvesting technology have gained attention for reducing the need for battery replacement. Pyroelectric generation (PEG) can convert temperature fluctuations to electrical energy, making it suitable for wireless sensor nodes. This study presents a simulation model and experimental verification of PEG as a power source, demonstrating its feasibility. The results also indicate that PEG can generate sufficient power for wireless sensor nodes, even with low temperature change amplitudes such as 2 degrees C.

Summary: This paper investigates a simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT)-assisted cognitive overlay-based MIMO downlink cooperative relaying system, where a secondary network consisting of an energy harvesting base station and wireless-powered secondary users shares the spectrum of a primary network. Closed-form expressions for the end-to-end outage probability are derived considering Rayleigh fading channel links, sensitivity and saturation impairments at the energy harvesting nodes. The impact of energy harvesting impairments and finite battery on the system performance are also analyzed.

Summary: Hydrogen used in proton exchange membrane-based fuel cell applications requires high quality. However, the purity of hydrogen for mobile applications at hydrogen refueling stations (HRS) is rarely analyzed. In this study, hydrogen samples were collected at HRS using a specially designed mobile tank and analyzed using an ion molecule reaction mass spectrometer (IMR-MS). The results showed high purity of hydrogen supplied by electrolysis at HRS, but also considerable contaminations above the threshold of the international standard ISO 14687:2019. This study demonstrated a state-of-the-art analysis method coupled with a developed methodology for independent hydrogen sampling using a mobile tank system, which can be applied for comprehensive studies of hydrogen purity.

The compressive strain induced by the TiO2 shell was found to increase the absolute Seebeck coefficient of bismuth nanowires.
