Wireless intelligent sensors based in nanostructures with energy self-sufficiency to study the consequences of high temperatures in combustion motors

In this research are proposed the consequences of high temperatures in Internal Combustion Motors (ICM) as correlation of its performance according to give information of the ICM fault detector, which also can be useful for preventive maintenance. It was possible to achieve the proposed target because of it was designed a smart sensor based in nanostructures prepared over Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) samples, which proportionated short response time and high robustness in the measurement tasks of the smart sensor, as well as, the designed sensor has the possibility to work by energy self-sufficiency and sending the measurement data to external users by wireless. In fact, it is waited that this research could be a support for researchers of ICM enhancement, who could look for new techniques of environment conditions cares in compensation to keep the balance between the useful energy obtained from ICM and the environment conditions, where are developed economical activities such as public transport or mining in Peru

Calibration of the LIGO gravitational wave detectors in the fifth science run

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a network of three detectors built to detect local perturbations in the spacetime metric from astrophysical sources. These detectors, two in Hanford, WA and one in Livingston, LA, are power-recycled Fabry-Perot Michelson interferometers. In their fifth science run (S5), between November 2005 and October 2007, these detectors accumulated one year of triple coincident data while operating at their designed sensitivity. In this paper, we describe the calibration of the instruments in the S5 data set, including measurement techniques and uncertainty estimation
