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…
Sensing Roles and Interactions using Mobile Phones
Traditional sensing applications have been limited to the collection of environmental data such as weather conditions or pollution levels. The availability of personal ubiquitous technologies, such as smart mobile phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) enables a much richer set…
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. …
Introduction to Remote Sensing
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…
Scientist Creates Chemical Sensors That Can Catch Drug-drivers
Scientist at the University of Oxford’s chemistry department have discovered an electrochemical sensors that can be used to detect the presence of drugs in saliva samples – or even measure how hot chillies are. According to an eminent scholar from…
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…
Wireless Sensor Network Nodes For Monitoring Natural Disasters
Natural disasters are escalating world wide due to many issues including climate change and perhaps the global warming. The losses due to these disasters are increasing at an alarming rate. Hence, it is would be valuable to detect the pre-cursors…
