The Internet-of-Things (IoT) has taken over the business spectrum, and its applications vary widely from agriculture and health care to transportation. A hospital environment can be very stressful, especially for senior citizens and children. With the ever-increasing world population, the conventional patient-doctor appointment has lost its effectiveness. Hence, smart health care becomes very important...
Transistors are approaching the sub-10nm regime. Due to extensive scaling of devices, the leakage currents are also increasing. FinFETs are also being scaled to 14 nm. To further push the limits of scaling and decrease leakage currents, Dopingless FET (DL-FET) transistors were introduced. DL-FETs show a promising decrease in leakage with low power consumption. An application using these devices, a...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is currently a main focus of research across disciplines. In a household IoT environment, almost all devices are connected to the internet. In the case of a smart city, most of the city homes and departments are managed through the network. One small security vulnerability is enough to take down an entire city or parts of it. Hence communications should be encrypted. Physical...
Increasing market demand for high performance and portable computing devices requires energy efficient devices. When a network of devices is considered, as in the case of the Internet of Things, it is important to consider low power design at the sensor/actuator level as well as in the sensor network. Human body communication has proven to be an efficient mode of communication for near field body...
Structural health monitoring in automatic fashion is one of the key challenges of smart cities. Deployment of wireless sensor network (WSN) is considered as a possible solution. WSN are networks that monitor various parameters such as temperature, pressure, vibration, stress, and humidity. They find a wide range of applications in environmental monitoring, industrial monitoring, and structural monitoring...
This paper presents a thyroid monitoring sensor for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The proposed architecture is energy efficient and user friendly. Thyroid monitoring can be done either by monitoring the basal body temperature or through blood samples. In this work basal body temperature is the quantity sensed for thyroid monitoring. The temperature acquisition is performed by a ring oscillator...
Image or video exchange over the Internet of Things (IoT) is a requirement in diverse applications, including smart health care, smart structures, and smart transportations. This paper presents a modular and extensible quadrotor architecture and its specific prototyping for automatic tracking applications. The architecture is extensible and based on off-the-shelf components for easy system prototyping...
This paper presents a modular and extensible quad rotor architecture and its specific prototyping for automatic tracking applications. The architecture is extensible and based on off-the-shelf components for easy system integration while maintaining constant connectivity with the IoT. A target tracking and acquisition application is presented in detail to demonstrate the power and flexibility of the...
