Security/Privacy in Health Care Monitoring Using Wireless Sensor Networks
No full textAdvancements in wireless sensor technology have led to increasing the involvement of Wireless Sensors Network (WSN) in health care domain. This paper analyzes the security issues and finds the possible techniques to minimize the effect of the threats, especially the privacy, on the sensitive patient’s data. The data that is transmitted through the cloud is vulnerable to various security attacks. One of the primary security threats is privacy. Data privacy aims at protecting the sensitive information and not revealing this information to the unauthorized entities. This is achieved using anonymization which includes Generalization and Suppression techniques
Computational Analysis and Prototype Experiment of anomaterial for Aircraft Wing Inboard Flap in Aerospace Industry
No full textThe aircrafts fly at both high altitude and fast airspeed in the air but needs slow airspeed in order to land safely. To increase aircraft fly efficiency, the material and design of wing inboard flap should be carefully engineered to provide aircraft with high speed flight in the air but keep strong lift with lower airspeed in order to safely land to the ground. The wing inboard flap is a critical part for the aircrafts and the previous researches showed that the damaged inboard flap can lead aircraft function failure and even cause fatal accidents in the flight and landing processes. Since the defects in wing inboard flap can cause potential safety hazards, the strong inboard flap materials and good inboard flap design to keep safe flight is very important. This paper studies and analyzes the nanocoated material applied in the design and development of aircraft wing inboard flap by using computer-aided 3D modeling, numerical simulation, and prototype experiment to improve current and future wing inboard flap design and development
MetroCrops
No full textMetroCrops is an urban high density indoor farm located in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The owner of MetroCrops, Steve Domyan, developed specific technology using a combination of LED lights and nutrients to grow high quality salad greens that can be harvested quickly, easily, and cleanly. These greens are capable of staying fresh for up to three weeks and deliver more nutrients than your average salad greens. The problems that MetroCrops faced was, how to go about promoting their innovative product, how to better utilize the wasted space in their facility, and how to make the company more sustainable. These problems became our challenge and the basis of our research
3D Printed V8 Engine Model
No full textThe improvements on accuracy, speed and quality of materials in 3D printing technology have opened new doors for it to move beyond the use of 3D printing in the modeling process and actually move it to manufacturing strategy. 3D printing can be particularly useful in research labs and industrial design
Hospitality Company Using Couchbase NoSql Database
No full textNoSql database is designed to support an ever increasing number of users and data and at the same time it maintains the performance efficiently. We worked with Couchbase distributed NoSql document oriented database that reads and write big data in JSON and GeoJSON objects. Couchbase Server delivers high throughput required for real time big data applications. Spatial views support the GeoJSON format and allow bounding-box queries on complex geometries that are represented as points, line-strings, or polygons. In Hospitality Company, spatial and geospatial views allow you to extract specific fields and information from Json data and create an index
Fuzzy Logic Control for Autonomous Mobile Robots in Static and Dynamic Environments
No full textAutonomous mobile robots have been widely used in many researches and applications. In this work, we develop collision avoidance and line following techniques for mobile robot navigation in static and dynamic environments with the integration of fuzzy logic fusion. Eight proximity sensors are used to detect different obstacles whereas three ground sensors are used to detect the line underneath the robot. The proposed method has been successfully tested in Webots Pro simulator and in in real time experiment

Internet Of Things (IoT) approach in solving Medication Errors
No full textApproximately each year 1.3 million people in the United States are affected due to "medication errors". In a study by the FDA that collected and evaluated the reports of medication errors found that the basic error regarding medications was related to administration of an improper dose of medicine, accounting for 41% of fatal medication errors. Giving the wrong drug and using the wrong channel of administration each accounted for 16% of the errors. Almost half of the fatal medication errors occurred in people over the age of 60. Older people may be at greatest risk for medication errors because they often take multiple prescription medications. To address this issue we are proposing an electronic medicine box each equipped with an intelligent base and round the clock cloud connectivity. The dosage details about medication is taken care by the cloud, which can be accessed, configured and maintained by the patient or by an authorized user. This project is an Embedded Web Application inspired by the emerging concept of Internet Of Things (IOT). Along with an OLED display, a built-alarm installed in e-medicine box is used to indicate the time for medication. Dosage times are pre-recorded in the cloud by the user through the web portal. Whenever there is any abnormality observed in these recordings automated alerts (SMS or email) are sent to a family member or doctor via the mail and SMS servers in the cloud. Additionally, in this design we are proposing an in-built GPS module to track the location of patients in case of emergencies
Directed Self-Assembly of Magnetite Through Electrospinning With Potential Applications in Nanopatterning
No full textElectrospinning is a unique method for producing micro and nano sized polymeric nanofibers consisting of high surface area, porosity and flexibility. It can further be utilized for producing nano-patterns in applications such as biosensors, magnetic recording and bioelectronics. Magnetite (Fe3O4) from the spinel group is the most magnetically natural mineral found on earth and it has been successfully used as a catalyst for the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). This work focuses on a consistent synthesis of magnetite nanopatterns for selective growth of CNTs for potential applications in bioelectronics
