A load management strategy was developed and implemented on closed and semi-closed loop mine surface cooling systems. Load reduction tests were conducted during the Eskom evening peak period to verify the strategy. The underground temperatures and relative humidity (RH) were monitored during this period. An Energy Management System (EnMS) was utilised to implement the developed strategy. The underground...
This paper proposes a methodology to be used in the segmentation of infrared thermography images for the detection of bearing faults in induction motors. The proposed methodology can be a helpful tool for preventive and predictive maintenance of the induction motor. This methodology is based on manual threshold image processing to obtain a segmentation of an infrared thermal image, which is used for...
This paper presents a water quality monitoring system using low power hardware based in the Internet of Things. Six sensor nodes for water quality monitoring in pisciculture are installed in three region of the Peruvian amazon. The sensor node is a modular hardware composed by control, communication and sensor module that measure parameters such as pH, conductivity and temperature. All data information...
The objective of this project is to create a novel device to monitor and report back with comprehensive physiological status and alerts of hazards encountered by the firefighter. The device is a band-aid like device that would be attached to the firefighter's skin positioned on the upper arm. The device would monitor the firefighter's physiological health including heart rate and blood oxygen level,...
The growth of plants is easily affected by external conditions such as sunlight, temperature, humidity and some organic and non-organic materials. Some fertilizers have effects on the growth and the volume of the plants. This paper measures the effects of some fertilizers on the plants using active contour computer vision technique by calculating the plant growth. The contour of an object is easily...
India is one of the most populous countries of the world. Due to over population, ignorance of health have been remained the major problems in India. For every one minute a death swoops in because of heart attack. To save a life is auspicious as well as precious. The idea here is to provide an intelligent smart health system using some sensors and microcontrollers; it will sense the body condition...
Induction motors are the mostly used electric machines in industry, due to their manufacturing features, which makes them more economical and robust. Consequently, it is of special interest to identify the most common faults present in these machines and develop reliable and cost-effective diagnostic tools to properly maintain them. In this context, the infrared thermography coupled with signal processing...
Most previous studies applied land surface temperature and vegetation index retrieved by optical remote sensing data to drought monitoring. But the vegetation index indicates drought indirectly and lag behind, while the precipitation is directly affect the drought and flood disasters, and microwave remote sensing has its unique advantages to detect precipitation. So, in this paper, on the basis of...
Runtime hardware Trojan detection techniques are required in third party IP based SoCs as a last line of defense. Traditional techniques rely on golden data model or exotic signal processing techniques such as utilizing Choas theory or machine learning. Due to cumbersome implementation of such techniques, it is highly impractical to embed them on the hardware, which is a requirement in some mission...
State Islamic University of Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta as rapid growing university towards world-class university placed in The edge of Jakarta has a data center runs by its unit of organization called Pustipanda (The Center of Information Technology and Database). The team had made observations during the last one year and found that these data center lately had an incident occurred where its hardware...
Health is the level of useful and metabolic potency of a living organism. In humans, it is the power of people or communities to adapt and self-manage once facing physical, mental, psychological and social changes. Keeping track of the health standing of the patient reception may be a troublesome task. Specially maturity patients ought to be sporadically monitored and their adored ones got to learn...
This paper presents a novel idea of taking care of old people, patients and women staying isolated at home. Patients require prompt & accurate decisions so that lifesaving therapy can be applied timely. In major cases prolonged treatment at hospital is not feasible. Secondly, rate of crimes against old people and women staying alone at home is increasing day by day. An efficient and reliable,...
The change of ecosystem and the surrounding atmosphere by different forms of pollutants (Chemicals and energies) are called environmental pollution. Pollution affects the climate most. The issue of environmental pollution and climate change has become an international concern due to their affects to the physical and biological entities of the environment. In this paper, the main objective is to find...
A novel ink-jet printed chipless RFID humidity sensor is presented. The sensor, based on a finite Artificial Impedance Surface (AIS), is ink-jet printed on a thin sheet of Mitsubishi paper, which is placed on a metal-backed cardboard layer. The frequency response of the AIS provides three deep nulls thanks to the three nested loops that constitute the unit cell of the periodic surface. The interaction...
This paper described the development of an NFC tag-sensing platform integrated a neonatal incubator to measure the temperature of premature newborns (NB) by its mattress or pillow. The tag created uses the ISO/IEC 14443-B protocol to establish the communication, sending the current value of body temperature through its Pseudo-Unique Proximity Integrated Circuit Card Identifier (PUPI). As result, this...
Evaluating sensor characteristics is a critical task to choose the device with better performance for a specific application. In case of environmental monitoring systems, being low power design a big challenge, reducing activation periods is a recurrent technique to reduce power so response time of sensors should be evaluated to accomplish this goal. In this article, a hardware-software monitoring...
This work describes the design and implementation of a Air Quality Meter and Air Pollution Detector. The technology adopted is a practical implementation of the concept of Internet of Things. This project is an exploration of the possibilities of use of this technology in a rapidly changing world where environmental health is becoming a serious threat. Using the Bluetooth communication technology...
Advances in the information and communication technologies have led to the emergence of Internet of Thing(IoT). IoT allows many physical devices to capture transmit data, through the internet, providing more data interoperability methods. Nowadays IoT plays an important role not only in communication, but also in monitoring, recording, storage and display. Hence the latest trend in Healthcare communication...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are strongly useful to monitor physical and environmental conditions to provide realtime information for improving environment quality. However, deploying a WSN in a physical environment faces several critical challenges such as high energy consumption, and data loss.In this work, we have proposed a reliable and efficient environmental monitoring system in ponds using...
Although academic and industry experts are now advocating for going from large-centralized Cloud Computing infrastructures to smaller ones massively distributed at the edge of the network, management systems to operate and use such infrastructures are still missing. In this paper, we focus on the monitoring service which is a key element to any management system in charge of operating a distributed...
