Footballers to Wear Sensors
Fabrice Muamba, a 24-year-old professional soccer player in Britain playing for Bolton Wanderers, collapsed during a game last year after suffering cardiac arrest. He’s now up and walking but no more playing football. A 27-year-old Indian soccer player, Venkatesh Dhanraj…
Sensors In Arduino Platform
This is another article on Sensors using Arduion platform. The first one ‘WSN Made Easy With Arduino Platform? can be found here. This will help you to understand some of the easiest methods to start implementing your sensor nodes. …
Understanding Bacterial Sensors – The Future of WSN nodes
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) may have become an attractive solution for low power implementations and embedded systems. In this magazine we have shown by examples how WSN applications and its usage can span from critical physical infrastructure to historical buildings, structural…
Wireless Technology for Process Industries (WirelessHART)
Even though millions of Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) devices are installed worldwide, in most cases the valuable information they can provide is stranded in the devices. An estimated 85% of all installed HART devices are not being accessed to…
A Wireless Sensor Network Platform for Structural Health Monitoring
Structural health monitoring has long been identified as a prominent application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), as traditional wired-based solutions present some inherent limitations such as installation/maintenance cost, scalability and visual impact. Nevertheless, there is a lack of ready-to-use and…
The Creation of WSN-based GENESI
WSN-based systems for structural health monitoring could be the answer to the many dramatic events involving the collapse of public structures and private buildings. A system that is unavailable in today’s trend and that will be able to provide long…
Trans-African Hydro-Meteorological Observatory – Sensor design competition
The Trans-African Hydro-Meteorological Observatory (TAHMO) is organizing the TAHMO Sensor Design Competition among African Universities. The stations need a suitable sensor that measures climate variables. Therefore, the project is aimed at designing building and operating the 20,000 weather stations in…
Interfacing Java-DSP With Sensor Motes
Interfacing Java-DSP with Sensor Motes by H. M. Kwon, V. Berisha and A. Spanias Distributed wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are being implemented in various applications that include defense, security, and smart systems. The application of hardware wireless sensors in a…
Tutorial: Understanding TinyOS with WSN
TinyOS is an event-driven operating system for networked applications in wireless embedded systems, with a component-based architecture. It is based on the nesC programming language and its core components require only 400 bytes of memory (data and instruction). While TinyOS…
