Accurate and real-time gas detection is crucial for applications ranging from environmental monitoring to industrial processes. Traditional methods are often limited by low accuracy, slow response times, and high costs. This project introduces a scalable machine learning fusion system that integrates sensor fusion techniques to enhance detection performance. With encoder-decoder architectures and a decision fusion model, our approach significantly improves the accuracy of carbon dioxide sensing, achieving a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 2.97% while reducing response and recovery...

Ultrasonics has been realized as a nondestructive measurement method for a variety of
applications, such as medical imaging, healthcare monitoring, structural testing, range finding, and motion sensing. Furthermore, high intensity ultrasound can be used in therapeutic treatments, such as lithotripsy for kidney stone comminution, hyperthermia for cancer therapy, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for laparoscopic surgery and transcranial sonothrombolysis for brain stroke treatment. MEMS ultrasonic transducers are known to have several pronounced advantages over the conventional...
