چکیده

– In order to implement visible light communications (VLC) through indoor lighting, a set of challenges arise due to conflicting requirements from the two missions. In this paper we examine one of these challenges: how to communicate when the lights are " off. " We investigate VLC with limits on transmit power, which we define to be low enough so that users will accept that the lights are in their " off " state. We argue that these limits vary based on levels of natural illumination already present in the environment. Our analysis shows that we can meet the limits while providing robust data coverage by using VLC devices of low complexity. The result is an important step toward ensuring acceptance and adoption of VLC technology. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.

Bi-Directional Visible Light Communication for Internet-of-Things devices

Traditional methods of wireless communications are saturating in terms of data rate, frequency spectrum and reliability. Visible light communications has attracted interests in many fields due to widespread commercial availability of LED lights and partly due to limited bandwidth available on the radio communication. It is even more effective for Internet-of-Things(IoT) devices which require ve...

Automatic Street Light Control System

Automatic Street Light Control System is not only easiest but also the powerful technique. Relay uses as a automatic switchin this system. It releases the manual work atmost upto 100% . As soon as the sunlight goes under the visible region of our eyes this system automatically switches ON lights. Light Dependant Resistor (LDR )is a type of sensor which actually does this work and senses the lig...

Building a Better Sensor

Advances in technology make it easier for us to save energy and help our environment. One example where technology has a significant role is in occupancy sensors to control lighting, heating and cooling according to motion detected within an intermittently occupied area. Occupancy sensors can save up to 80% of the lighting and HVAC energy when properly applied. Modern sensors, with the aid of l...

Ruthenium bipyridyl complexes as photocleavable dimerizers: deactivation of DNA-binding peptides using visible light.

We report a photolabile biselectrophilic Ru(II) complex that can be used for homo- or heterodimerization of cysteine-containing peptides. The resulting dimers can be efficiently disassembled by long-wavelength light. As proof-of-concept, we describe the preparation of homo- and heterodimeric bZIP peptides whose DNA-binding properties can be turned off using visible light.

Photoreversible current ON/OFF switching by the photoinduced bending of gold-coated diarylethene crystals.

Gold-coated diarylethene crystals exhibited photoreversible bending upon alternating irradiation with ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. The bending behavior can be well explained by the extended bimetal model, which we propose here. Moreover, we have demonstrated that it can be used as an actual electrical circuit photoswitch.
