Lighting Control using Pressure-Sensitive Touchpads

Engineering design and assessment of a demand-sensitive LED streetlighting system

A solid-state lighting technology was demonstrated at a US Navy Research Center in Maryland – where light-emitting diode (LED) luminaires were substituted for existing high pressure sodium (HPS) streetlighting units, and an intelligent lighting control system was deployed. This paper summarizes the prudent engineering design and implementation of the demand-sensitive feature of the LED streetli...

Enhancing Touch Control on the Steering Wheel with Force Input

Steering wheel controls have become an essential interface for interacting with in-car human machine interfaces. The increase in both number and complexity of features in the car challenges the scalability of button-based mechanical steering wheel interfaces. Alternatives such as touch input are making their way into steering wheels of mass production cars. Multi-level force input adds a degree...

Survey on Street Lighting System Based On Vehicle Movements

Street Light Control System which operates automatically is not only easiest but also the intelligent system. This system can be set to operate in automatic mode, which regulates the streetlight according to brightness and dimness Algorithm and light intensity. This control can make a reasonable adjustment according to the seasonal variation. we can take the initiative to control streetlights t...

Side-Channel Inference Attacks on Mobile Keypads using Smartwatches

The popularity of smartwatches is soaring with more than 45 million devices expected to be shipped by 2017 [1]. These devices, typically equipped with state-of-the-art sensors and communication capabilities, will enable a plethora of novel applications, including activity tracking, wellness monitoring and ubiquitous computing. However, the presence of a diverse set of on-board sensors also prov...
