The conventional method of testing water quality is to gather samples of water manually and send to the lab to test and analyze. This method is time consuming, wastage of man power, and not economical. The water quality measuring system that we have implemented checks the quality of water in real time through various sensors (one for each parameter: pH, conductivity, temperature) to measure the quality...
The project aims at saving energy by detecting the vehicle movement on highways and switching on the block of street light ahead of it and simultaneously switching off the trailing lights. This project requires a sensor to detect the day and night and an array of piezoelectric sensors to detect the vehicle movements and accordingly switching on the lights ahead of it. So when there are no vehicles...
The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) has proliferated the use of connected sensors to observe and control the world around us. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are becoming ubiquitous tools that monitor their surroundings and also oftentimes provide actuation to affect the state of their environment. One of the key application domains for real-time monitoring and control is the freight railroad...
In this paper describes the design, development and construction of a low power consumption sensor node for remote monitoring of the quality environment. The system was developed in the INICTEL-UNI, as part of the project "Telemetry system for monitoring natural resources and the environment in Peru". The sensor node is implemented with themethodology of development iterative and incremental...
In our current scenario faulty street lights may lead accident and also encourage crime. But our system has the function to detect the faults in the street light manually. It takes more time to detect and rectification. Our current scenario primarily depends on electrical inspectors to frequently check the street lights. It also unwanted work, even the system working well. Here the new method is proposed...
The development of the new technologies in the area of electronics has brought tremendous changes in the day to day life of human being. With advancement of technology, automated systems are being preferred over manual system. PC based control systems are highly reliable, user friendly and accurate systems. A microcontroller based controllers are being designed to control a number of equipment and...
The need of water would bring major challenges for populated cities. With the need, there comes a security concern regarding environmental issues, pollution and even the revenue. As cities like Chennai do not have perennial sources of and doesn't have the leverage to distribute it in a massive scale. Thus the private players come into action, which uses various lakes and Bore wells in and around to...
The proposed system can optimize the management and efficiency of street lighting systems. It uses ZigBee-based wireless devices. It also uses a sensor combination to control and guarantee the desired system parameters. A monitoring system based on the embedded Internet technology for street light is designed and implemented. The mode adopted in this monitoring system is the Browser/Server mode. The...

The proposed implementation can be used in monitoring and control through wireless industrial communication between commercial devices (for...
Single-chip microcontrollers equipped with wireless transceivers are gaining popularity in smart home automation because of their built-in resources, low power consumption, size, affordability and durability. Research and development professionals are seizing the opportunity to design and integrate more functions and services for smart home monitoring and control systems utilizing such microcontrollers...
Wearable Healthcare monitoring system is very important and necessary especially in remote areas. The problem under study is to improve healthcare systems. In existing systems, the power consumption, cost is too high. Also there is no privacy in the system for the database protection which is prone to security attacks. The proposed system will implement a sensor interface with ultra low power MSP430...
Wireless Sensor Network using many wireless communication protocols, such as Bluetooth, ZigBee, ultra wideband, and wifi. Wifi has the advantages of high data rate and long range distances, but it requires a great power. While ZigBee has the advantages that it uses less power, but the resulting low data rate and short range distances. With respective these advantages and disadvantages, this paper...
Care of critically ill patient, requires spontaneous & accurate decisions so that life-protecting & lifesaving therapy can be properly applied. Statistics reveal that every minute a human is losing his/her life across the globe. More close in India, everyday many lives are affected by heart attacks and more importantly because the patients did not get timely and proper help. This paper is...
Temperature is one of the important parameters related to a material as such or placed in a furnace. If the sample is located at a distant place, then temperature has to be logged by a system such as laptop/desktop. Further, accurate measurement and monitoring of temperature is an important task in research field and vital task in industrial and chemical processes. In this paper, we present an inexpensive...
This paper describes the implementation of remote monitoring system for the demand side energy utilization using the graphical system design platform - LabVIEW. This LabVIEW application uses the concept of Time of Day (TOD) metering to track how much electricity a consumer uses and the time of use. Demand side energy utilization is tracked electronically using a microcontroller based system. The electronically...

This work describes the development and test of a wireless sensor network used by a biomedical signal monitoring system. Data communication is based on a body area network (BAN) materialized as a wireless network in two versions, one based on the 802.15.4 specification and another on a higher-level Zigbee protocol. The system was developed using the Jennic JN5148 microcontroller, Jennics ZBPro stack...
This paper presents a current invention for monitoring the athletes' heart rate during training or exercise session. A bracelet with different color code of Light Emitting Diode (LED) is designed as a wrist heart rate monitor. This color-coding makes the heart rate easier to monitor and enabling the user to know their heart rate range at a certain moment. Our works investigate the used of Zigbee and...
Vacuum circuit breakers (VCBs) have operated successfully in medium voltage distribution system to control and protect power lines and power equipments. Once a VCB is unable to interrupt or make current as designed, heavy losses would be brought about to both the power system and the consumers. Inner pressure of vacuum interrupts (VI) is one of the most important parameters for VCBs' safe and steady...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been widely discussed in many applications.
