Bed Exit Prediction

This report presents a bed exit prediction model using a decision tree classifier, a machine learning method. This system is designed to alarm a caregiver in a nursing home to prevent bed­ falls among institutionalized elderly. For the input of this algorithm, features are derived from four force sensing resistor sensors and six piezoelectric...

A new view on falling aprons

In a flume of BallastHam Dredging a falling apron model has been constructed and loaded by current. The tests have been done with different rock sizes, different layer thickness of the top storage of the apron and two different gradings. In summary it was found that for both the narrow graded rock layers as well as for wide graded riprap the...
