SMART ENERGY METER A smart meter is usually an electrical meter that records consumption of electric energy in intervals of an hour or less and communicates that information at least daily back to the utility for monitoring and billing purposes. Smart meters enable two-way communication between the meter and the central system. Unlike home energy monitors‚ smart meters can gather data for remote reporting. Smart Meters" usually involve real-time or near real-time sensors‚ power outage notification

predicted to be gone‚ actions and precautions are taken we can stop the disaster from happening. Coastal erosion in Louisiana is the process of steady depletion of wetlands‚ along the state’s coastline in marshes‚ swamps‚ and barrier islands. Southeast Louisiana has lost a large portion of its wetlands within the past 5 years and is expected to lose more in the coming years. One problem of coastal erosion is an increased vulnerability to hurricane surges which affects New Orleans. For example August 23

IMPLEMENTATION USING ARM FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION Automatic meter reading is the technology of automatically collecting consumption‚ diagnostic‚ and status data from water meter or energy metering devices (gas‚ electric) and transferring that data to a central database for billing‚ troubleshooting‚ and analyzing. This technology mainly saves utility providers the expense of periodic trips to each physical location to read a meter. Another advantage is that billing can be based on near real-time

1949) How a Cover Meter Works? The change of inductance of an iron cored inductor known as ‘search unit’ due to the proximity of the reinforcing bar is used to measure the ‘cover’. The search unit is moved on the surface of the concrete and rotated till the maximum deflection is seen on the indicator. The meter is calibrated with the concrete block and thereafter the search unit is used to find the position of the reinforcement in structures. (Rao‚ 1949) Importance of Cover Meter in the Industry

How to Prevent Soil Erosion TERRACING Terrace farming is a farming method that makes use of a hill to create a multiplatform farm. There are severals steps known as andenes which are built into the side of a hill. The idea behind it is that any rain that falls and builds up on the andenes will overflow into another andene below‚ making the most out of the nutrients it provides. CROP ROTATION The successive planting of different crops on the same land to improve soil fertility and help

Assyrians Although Assyrian civilization‚ centred in the fertile Tigris valley of northern Iraq‚ can be traced back to at least the third millennium BC‚ some of its most spectacular remains date to the first millennium BC when Assyria dominated the Middle East. The Assyrian king Ashurnasirpal II (883-859 BC) established Nimrud as his capital. Many of the principal rooms and courtyards of his palace were decorated with gypsum slabs carved in relief with images of the king as high priest and as

Its not just about salivating dogs! 1. Research method- Pavlov chose food as the UCS. He then needed to find a neural stimulus that was completely unrelated to food‚ he chose the sound of a metronome. Over several trials‚ the dog was exposed to the metronome ticking‚ then receiving food immediately. Pavlov repeated this using different UCS and CS as well. 2. Results- The sound of the metronome had acquired the property of stimulating salivary secretion. 3. Application- In the early 1970’s
