ABSTRACT: A novel CMOS-process-compatible MEMS sensor for monitoring respiration is presented. This resistive flow sensor was manufactured by the TSMC 0.35 ¿m CMOS/MEMS mixed-signal 2P4M polycide process. The sensor was demonstrated to be sensitive enough to detect...

ABSTRACT: Robust detection of events and activities, such as falling, sitting, and lying down, is a key to a reliable elderly activity monitoring system. While fast and precise detection of falls is critical in providing immediate medical attention, other activities...

ABSTRACT: Measurement of chlorophyll concentration is gaining more-and-more importance in evaluating the status of the marine ecosystem. For wide areas monitoring a reliable architecture of wireless sensors network is required. In this paper, we present a network of...

ABSTRACT: Heart rate is a very vital health parameter that is directly related to the soundness of the human cardiovascular system. But high blood pressure, high cholesterol level or diabetes mellitus can lead to blockade of coronary arteries and result into heart...

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this project is to implement the home automation voice gateway using PiFrame framework. With this system, user can control home appliances through voice command, by recognizing the keyword in the speech of the user. For example, turning on or...

ABSTRACT: The integration of modern information technologies into industrial agriculture has already contributed to yield increases in the last decades. Nowadays, the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) along with Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) with their low-cost...

ABSTRACT: The frequency of falling among elderly and visually impaired people is constantly increasing. This problem affects a large number of people who need additional support to maintain balance and stability while walking. The objective of this study is to design...

ABSTRACT: In the light of the problem of monitoring forest fire, the design strategy and practical implementation of establishing the fire monitoring system based on digital image information are proposed. The system is based on the continuous image sampling provided...

ABSTRACT: In India for past few days, there have been several accidents of children falling into abandoned borewells which is left uncovered and get trapped. Abandoned borewells seems to be death pits for children. These borewells in turn have started to take many...

ABSTRACT: The world today is governed by automation. When complex operations are made automated to simplify tasks, the benefits of automation can also be tapped to perform simple household tasks. One such task is cleaning. Cleaning, though undermined for its nature of...

ABSTRACT: This study aims at designing an embedded controller that can stabilize custom designed self-balancing two-wheeled robot (TWSBR) using velocity feedback alone. A state-space model for the custom designed TWSBR is obtained through dynamic analysis using a...

ABSTRACT: With the growing number of 2-wheel motor vehicles, frequency of accidents is on the rise. A major portion of the fatalities occur because the person was either not wearing a helmet, or his accident was not reported in time, and he could not be saved because...
