Smart Pill Box

Cross-Talk Problem in Pill-Box Cavity

We discuss the polarisations of dipole modes, excited when a bunch of particles passes a cylindrical cavity beam position monitor. In dependence on the polarisation axis, cross-talk between antennas in x and y directions can be unacceptably strong, in an uncontrolled manner. We propose and apply a solution to get minimal cross-talk between coupling antennas in perpendicular axes.

Smart Box Software Framework

The Smart Box Application Model

This paper proposes the usage of a software framework, based on the Smart Box application model, for the development of applications or appliances of the Smart Box application domain. This class of ubiquitous computing applications can be described as automatic content monitoring applications using Auto-ID technologies such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). The Smart Box application mod...

A pill box with biometric access control and web connection (work in progress)

Because of the increased connectivity of households to the Internet it is now possible to consider the latter as a medium for delivery of a variety of social services. In this work, we propose dispensing prescription drugs remotely via specialized internet-enabled devices. To our knowledge, there are no such medication delivery devices in use at this time, although the idea has most probably be...
