Chapter 1 Introduction During last few decades‚ booming of wireless sensor network (WSN) require a reliable power source. Generally the power sources to these microsystems are the conventional battery. However‚ the battery has a finite lifespan and once extinguished of its power‚ these sensors must be retrieved and the battery replaced [1]. With these sensors being placed in remote location it can become an expensive task to obtain and replace the battery. Therefore‚ it becomes necessary to provide

Marketing Strategy and Plan – Session 6 Gillette’s Launch of Sensor The introduction of the Sensor Shaving System‚ one of the biggest product launches ever‚ forced Gillette to reevaluate its strategy in its shaving and non-shaving business. It had to decide whether to go ahead with the launch and if so‚ at what scale. Gillette’s top management had to make very important decisions regarding the launch of its Sensor line. They are questioning‚ on which markets to focus their launch‚ how aggressive

Computer Abstract—Energy consumption of nodes is a crucial factor that constrains the networks life time for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). WSNs are composed of small sensors equipped with lowpower devices‚ and have limited battery power supply. The main concern in existing architectural and optimisation studies is to prolong the network lifetime. The lifetime of the sensor nodes is affected by different components such as the microprocessor‚ the sensing module and the wireless transmitter/receiver

explore better health monitoring systems that are both mobile and cheap. This work investigates the feasibility of using the ZigBee embedded technology in health-related monitoring applications. Selected vital signs of patients are acquired using sensor nodes and readings are transmitted wirelessly using devices that utilize the ZigBee communications protocols. A prototype system has been developed and tested with encouraging results. Keywords: Zigbee‚ wireless health monitoring. I. Compared

of developing a non-mechanical hot plate wind and rain sensor. It aims to discuss practical aspects of the necessary hardware to fulfil such a function and different software approaches to controlling such a system. Specifically‚ it discusses an experiment based on 30W hot plates controlled by Labview in an attempt to measure changing wind and rain conditions. It also looks at the data gathered in this instance and calibration of the sensors. Finally it looks at ways of improving the functionality

Research in Motion Porter’s Five Force Porter’s Five Force Model There are some different approaches available when measuring the profitability in a market‚ or industry. I choose to use the model by Michael E. Porter‚ where the profitability potential of an industry‚ described as the long run return on investment‚ is reliant on the degree of competition in the selected industry. The five forces that Porter mentions are; threat of entry‚ supplier power‚ buyer power‚ threat of substitutes and industry

random sensor node deployment scenarios to find the sinks locations for a particular sensor nodes deployment. We have considered a 4x4 square grid wireless sensor network‚ where sinks and sensor nodes both are static. Locations of the sinks are deterministically placed. Locations of our sinks are taken from our deterministic sensor node deployment approach for 4x4 square grid region‚ where the network is 1-hop and 2-covered. Sinks are placed deterministically on grid cross points. But the sensor node

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Mankind has always tried to use technologies in order to improve his life. The wheel‚ for instance‚ was invented in order to transport goods saving forces and to move more quickly. The discovery of fire helped to heat him and to defend himself from wild animals. From the very beginning man has always looked for a better way of life. Time after time‚ he has continued to improve his environment‚ both at work and at home. The first automations
