Air and Water are the most important resources of the planet that we use daily for sustaining life. Air quality affects all living creatures, from trees and plants to animals and people. Air quality, especially in the trend of more industrialized cities and with a rapid growing population of cars, is degrading. Continuous monitoring allows the national administrations to take measures in order to...
Previously Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) was not the preferred choice for offshore monitoring in the oil and gas sector for many reasons such as reliability and security concern. Today, much has changed. Advances in reliability, security, and affordability within the constraints of frequency allocation now enable organizations to take full advantage of WSN for challenging industrial environments...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are networks composed of a number of sensor nodes that communicate wirelessly. WSNs are utilized over a wide range of applications. This paper looks at the WSNs from the applications point of view. A survey of some of the key-applications that utilize WSN nowadays, along with their specifications and capabilities, is briefly presented.
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a network of portable and lightweight sensors used to monitor a specific field and report the data they detect wirelessly to a sink node responsible for the analysis and decision making. WSNs have limited power as well as resources. More advanced sensors known as "multimodal sensors" can report more than one feature, which requires even more efficient utilization...
Sensors integrated within a product can provide lots of information about how the product is used and its status. Easy to extract information, such as hours used per day, temperature or humidity could be very valuable to the manufacturer in order to improve its product for real use. The manufacturer may realize that his/her initial estimations do not match reality and may decide to select different...
Pharmaceutical and healthcare industries are highly regulated industries in each and every nation around the globe. Every nation has a governing body like USFDA, TGA, and M.H.R.A, Schedule-M etc. that assures that the medicines are manufactured under strict guidelines to ensure highest quality of manufactured products. However assuring high quality products requires that the manufacturing facility...
Wireless sensor networks are designed for a very wide, yet specific, purpose. Their components have processing and power limitations. Due to these limitations, decisions by running complex algorithms with the information collected by sensors must be done in components external to the WSN. This document presents a combination of WSN and p2p networks to ease the development of systems that rely on WSN...
The high-voltage transformer substation is a special environment with high voltage and strong magnetic field. The temperatures of transmission circuitry joints in substations may increase for many reasons to initiate fire and explosion. A hierarchical clustering wireless sensor network (WSN) based on multi-agent system (MAS) is provided in this paper. Sustainable power-supplied nodes are appointed...
Sensor networks pledge to solve many monitoring problems: thousands of small inexpensive devices can be easily deployed in any environment and can provide measurements about diverse phenomenons, such as temperature, pollution, birds migration, etc. As sensors are low-capabilities, battery powered devices, several protocols have been proposed to maximize their lifetime, but only recently research has...
