Posture identification is an example of one of many physiological characteristics that can be used to determine a variety of health parameters. Pressure mats and camera analysis are common methodologies to determine posture of a subject in a chair. In this paper, we show results of a laboratory study of how we can determine posture of a subject using various arrays of multiple low-cost temperature...
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems can consume a large percentage of the energy used in a typical building. Intelligent building automation systems (BAS) are widely deployed to enable more efficient HVAC utilization, thus reducing the energy consumed. Enhanced data requires distributed sensing. We propose an instrumentation system for a low-cost, over-the-top efficiency monitor...
Deployment of sensor systems for smart, Internet of Things (IoT) environments may be subject to high cost, physical limitations, building modification regulations, or lengthy processes. Flexibility of sensor type choice can lead to overcoming various constraints. Very low cost, easily deployable sensors can provide data other than that for which it was designed. In this paper, we use temperature sensors,...
Sensors and data analytics have a tremendous potential to improve the resilience of the electricity system. Improving the analytics in a smart grid, and providing information to operators so that problems can be resolved quickly, may serve to improve the resiliency of the electricity system. Effective use of sensors and analytics will enable more timely a response, and more efficient use of personnel,...
In Internet of Things (IoT), there are many future applications in smart environments. This paper first presents a possible scenario of a family making use of the IoT in their daily living, and then work leading to integration of unobtrusive sensors in the smart environment is discussed. In the applications discussed, Bluetooth connections linked and connected the sensors that were used in the wireless...
Home health care and home automation increasingly allows more seniors to maintain independence, and remain longer in their own homes. Similarly, a post-surgical patient may be discharged from a medical facility to their house, which electronically facilitates their recuperation and promotes recovery. Smart environments are making the task of providing assistive technology in the home easier and more...
