Smart home is a house that uses Internet of Things(IoT) to monitor the environment, control the electric appliances and communicate with the outer world. Smart home is a complex technology, but a developing one. A smart home automation system has been developed primarily because in today's time and world, everybody's in a surge and wishes to screen and get to everything without being there physically...
Keyboard, mouse as fundamental input devices of computer systems, have changed traditional input behavior of human beings & writing experiences. However, handwriting, painting are still indispensable communication styles. In recent years, touch screen has become a prevailing human computer interface on many kinds of digital devices, which makes it possible for people using a pen to take notes...
In cognitive radio networks, cognitive users are allowed to use the licensed portions of spectrum, as long as no harmful interference affects the primary (licensed) users. Towards achieving this goal, spectrum sensing is an essential process to determine spectrum access opportunities for the cognitive users. In wide spectrum applications, it is recommended to distribute the sensing task of the required...
The paper describes a software application running on Android mobile devices, used to help the neuromotor disabled patients to communicate with the clinicians or caretakers. The proposed application also include a telemonitoring (remote monitoring) component used to collect and process few physiological parameters of the patient. The application is part of a more complex communication and monitoring...
The AUVSI Autonomous Surface vehicle event is a student-based competition where teams design, build and compete with fully autonomous surface vessel. These vehicles are required to preform many different tasks that vary from competition to competition but the ability to navigate channels marked by red and green markers and perform GPS based navigation is always a constant. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical...
This paper mainly describes the vehicle traveling data recorder system based On ARM. It selects the huge flash rom memory as the memorizer. It collects and stores the real-time data every second by timer interrupt, and uses µC/OS-¢ò, an embedded operating system, to design the software. Computer can communicate with microchip by com interrupt and store the data in the hard disk by binary system.
It is a widely-used running environment for nesC applications to be performed over Avrora simulator on the platform of Cygwin (Windows). The manual creation of the running environment is time-consuming and error-prone. NesCEnv, an automatic tool, is developed to encapsulate and hide all setup and configuration details of the running environment. NesCEnv also offers additional functionalities for modifying...
A brain computer interface (BCI) can be used by persons with severe neuromuscular disorders to control external devices such as computers or neuro-prosthesis. To improve accuracy, however, most of BCIs need multi-channels, wet sensors, big and complex systems. It makes most use of BCIs restricted to laboratory and medical area. In this paper, to solve the limitation, mindset (neurosky headset) that...
This document presents an approach towards designing an autonomous ground vehicle Vector2703 that can be used by military for low intensity conflict. It presents the team's approach towards building the robotic vehicle, the vehicle and components that let the vehicle see and act, and the computer software that makes the vehicle autonomous. It presents how the vehicle is going to be designed and will...
In this short conceptual paper we explore the need for demonstrations of intelligent environments research that can convey what we as researchers think to potential users that have limited exposure to such ideas. This is especially important where physical and virtual worlds meet in the smart home context. We present several exemplars that are intended to promote user understanding through the use...
Intrusion detection is an area of computer security that involves the detection of unwanted manipulations to computers and computer networks. An intrusion detection system is required to detect all types of malicious network traffic and computer usage that can not be detected by a conventional firewall. This security method is needed in todaypsilas computing environment because it is impossible to...
Dependability is an important system attribute for microfluidic lab-on-chip devices. On-line testing offers a promising method for detecting defects, fluidic abnormalities, and bioassay malfunctions during chip operation. However, previous techniques for reading test outcomes and analyzing pulse sequences are cumbersome, sensitive to the calibration of capacitive sensors, and error-prone. We present...
Applications of 3 dimensional (3-D) virtual reality are now possible on current mobile phones due to the advances in mobile 3-D graphics technologies. However, the user-interface to these applications is generally still limited to the basic phone keypad which detracts from the sophisticated experience 3-D worlds can provide. In this paper we present a solution to this problem which utilizes the accelerometers...
In this paper we present a low cost fault-tolerant attitude determination system to a scientific satellite using COTS devices. We related our experience in developing the attitude determination system, where we combine proven fault tolerance techniques to protect the whole system composed only by COTS from the effects produced by transient faults. We detailed the failure cases and the detection, reconfiguration...
As semiconductor technology moves closer to the ultimate physical limits for scaling of devices that utilize electrons as information bearing particles, many new opportunities for research in the physical sciences are emerging. If we look beyond the limits of scaling electron devices, many more challenging research opportunities exist in the areas of physics of information carriers and physics of...
Many real-time communication protocols have been studied to guarantee the communication requirements of distributed real-time systems. But, current techniques lack all or most of these requirements specially bounded message delivery time. In this paper we have proposed a Mac layer protocol called RDM+ with concepts similar to Round Data Mailer multi layer protocol. Our simulation results show that...
In deep submicron era, to prevent larger amount of SRAM from more frequently encountered overheating problems and react accordingly for each possible hotspots, multiple ideal run-time temperature sensors must be closely located and response rapidly to secure system reliability while maintaining core frequency. This paper presented a method to extract run-time temperature information from multiple...
