Summary
This study introduces a novel presence sensing system using carbon dioxide (CO2) detection. The CO2 monitoring approach accurately identifies individuals indoors, offering a reliable alternative to traditional sensors.
Area of Science:
- Environmental monitoring
- Sensor technology
- Artificial intelligence
Background:
- Traditional presence sensing systems (motion, cameras) have limitations like restricted fields of view.
- Gaps in monitoring coverage can occur with existing sensor technologies.
- Human respiration releases carbon dioxide (CO2), altering indoor concentrations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the use of ambient carbon dioxide (CO2) levels for indoor presence detection.
- To develop and evaluate a presence sensing method based on CO2 concentration analysis.
- To provide an alternative to conventional sensors with potential monitoring gaps.
Main Methods:
- Utilized simple Markov Chain Models to analyze CO2 concentration data.
- Collected and analyzed CO2 data from experimental setups.
- Validated the approach using real-world environmental data.
Main Results:
- Achieved high accuracy, up to 97%, in detecting indoor presence.
- Demonstrated the effectiveness of CO2 sensing for presence detection.
- Showcased the system's efficacy in both controlled and practical environments.
Conclusions:
- Presence detection using ambient CO2 analysis is a viable and accurate method.
- The proposed Markov Chain Model approach offers a robust solution for indoor monitoring.
- This technology has potential applications in smart homes, assisted living, and surveillance.

01:04¹³C NMR: ¹H–¹³C Decoupling
1.1K
The probability of having two carbon-13 atoms next to each other is negligible because of the low natural abundance of carbon-13. Consequently, peak splitting due to carbon-carbon spin-spin coupling is not observed in spectra. However, protons up to three sigma bonds away split the carbon signal according to the n+1 rule, resulting in complicated spectra.

01:20¹³C NMR: Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer (DEPT)
1.1K
When proton-coupled carbon-13 spectra are simplified by a broadband proton decoupling technique, structural information about the coupled protons is lost. Distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) is a technique that provides information on the number of hydrogens attached to each carbon in a molecule. While the DEPT experiment utilizes complex pulse sequences, the pulse delay and flip angle are specifically manipulated. The resulting signals have different phases depending on...
