1 Handheld secured electronic doorstep banking system
The bank's commensurate huge client base isn't within the urban level however, within the often pretermitted rural areas. Light tasks like obtaining away to the ATM and retreating cash cause humans in villages lose their operating hours and, as a result, miss a big live of their financial gain also. In this paper a secured handheld doorstep banking industry referred to as Micro-bank machine is intended to grant service to the purchasers in rural areas and remote places such as villages. The planning may also be operated within and on the far side of the regular banking hours. The main aim of the handheld machine is to administer banking services like money withdrawals and money deposit while not the person ever aiming to a bank even in remote areas wherever even a GSM cellular association isn't possible.
2An Ophthalmic Anesthesia Training System Using Integrated Capacitive and Hall Effect Sensors
Regional anesthesia delivery for ocular surgery involves insertion of a syringe needle into the orbital space at the proper position and orientation such that ocular structures remain undamaged while avoiding adverse systemic reactions. Additionally, anesthetic fluid must be injected at an appropriate rate to achieve painless and rapid akinesia. Training on human subjects is risky and animal cadavers do not emulate human ocular anatomy. Thus, a training system, which closely replicates human ocular anatomical structure and provides real-time qualitative feedback on the effectiveness and safety of the anesthetic procedure would significantly mitigate risks associated with real life procedures. This paper presents a rapid prototyped, anatomically precise training manikin that detects the proximity and touch of syringe needle to the extraocular muscles and alarms the trainee to avoid injury. The proximity of the needle to the muscle structure is detected using capacitive sensors integrated in the manikin. A Hall-effect sensor-based measurement scheme for detection of rate of injection from a syringe has been developed. The specially designed syringe piston provides illusion of fluid flow inside the manikin for the trainee while reducing anesthesia wastage. A virtual instrument developed measures the output from capacitive sensing electrodes and Hall-effect sensor and displays it to the trainee through a graphical user interface. The proposed capacitive touch and proximity detection schemes have been validated by tests performed on the prototype system. The rate of injection was measured in real time on a prototype syringe, demonstrating the practical use of the system for medical training purposes.
3 Design of SMS-based Remote Control System Using TC35 and MCU
With the popularity of GSM network, GSM terminal equipments are not only used in traditional voice communications, but also be applied in control area more and more widely. Firstly, some typical GSM-based applications and Siemens's cellular engine TC35 are introduced. The principles of SMS-based remote control system are discussed thoroughly, as well as hardware and software. This system makes use of advanced MCU and GSM technique but the cost is low. It can be used in remote access-control, security et al, with a good value for applications.
4 Enhancing accessibility: Mobile to ATM case study (good)
People with disabilities encounter daily many barriers that prevent them to interact with electronic devices in their surroundings. The INREDIS project has designed a cloud based platform to overcome these challenges by turning mobile devices into personalized and universal remote controls. In more detail, the INREDIS platform is capable of identifying the user needs, personalizing the mobile phone interface to enable multimodal HCI and interacting with the target device. In this paper we describe the design, implementation and evaluation with real users of this accessibility platform in a banking environment. The developed prototypes depicted in this paper provide multimodal interfaces for people with visual and motor difficulties so they can execute some banking services at an ATM by interacting with their smartphone or computer. Tests results and optimistic user's feedback confirm that the use of a mobile device could enable a more secure and accessible mode to interact with indoor and outdoor devices.
5 Internet-based measurement technology, electrical drives and automation
The rapid growth of fast and reliable communication networks provides an easy exchange of information and commands between computers connected to sites of wide area networks such as the internet. Engineers from far away workstations can operate various remote equipment through the internet. Engineering is transformed into a constructive joint effort within the framework of simulation and exploration. Engineers share information at a rapid pace, with the collective aim of increasing the quality of product, process and service and reducing development time and costs.
6 More efficient home energy management system based on ZigBee communication
This paper describes more efficient home energy management system to reduce power consumption in home area. We consider the room easily controllable with an IR remote control of a home device. The room has automatic standby power cut-off outlets, a light, and a ZigBee hub. The ZigBee hub has an IR code learning function and educates the IR remote control signal of a home device connected to the power outlet. Then the power outlets and the light in the room can be controlled with an IR remote control.
7 A Method of Remote Control for Home Appliance Using Free Hand Gesture
We propose a method of robust and fully automated remote control for home appliance using free hand gesture. The performance of the proposed system is verified with a hardware embedded in an air conditioner.
8 A fully Digitally controlled Power supply unit for wireless Remote controlled LED Lighting System
This paper presents a fully digital controlled power supply unit for the wireless controlled dimmable LED lighting system. The proposed power supply designed using fly-back converter, which is directly controlled by a microprocessor. Although the proposed circuit does not sense the AC input current and has not AC input voltage feed-forward, it can achieve high power factor. The proposed power supply directly regulates the output power for LED loads using the PWM and PFM control of the fly-back converter without additional regulator. For a wireless remote control function, the Zigbee modem is equipped in the proposed power supply.
9 A high efficiency and high power factor
A high power factor, high efficiency offline driver for LED lighting applications is presented in this paper. Among all the suitable candidate topologies, a multiple stage structure has been chosen, to guarantee the greatest possible flexibility, thanks to the use of optimized topologies both on line side and on load side. Galvanic isolation is provided by means of an intermediate DC transformer stage. A comparison between two different implementations of the latter has been performed in order to better understand advantages and disadvantages of the two proposed topologies and find out an optimal configuration. Despite the presence of multi-stage conversion, a high (>90%) overall efficiency is achieved. Analytical and experimental results are provided.
