Distributed and collaborative wireless sensor networks (WSN) plays key role in developing Smart Environment. A Smart Environment needs information about its surroundings as well as about its internal working; this information's are monitored and collected by the network of wireless sensors. The futuristic application of distributed WSN includes : Animal monitoring, Vehicle monitoring, Enemy mon...

Here's the problem with that figure: It's off by a factor of at least 10. They don't call the large fabric planting containers most growers use these days “smart pots” for nothing. They permit the plant to use soil and water far more efficiently. Using a drip irrigation system, Benno prefers to water his plants three gallons once every three days. This is in line with other growers I've talked ...

INTRODUCTION Heat-related illness is a critical factor for military personnel operating in hyperthermic environments. Heat illness can alter cognitive and physical performance during sustained operations missions. Therefore, the primary purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of a novel cooling shirt on core body temperature in highly trained US Air Force personnel. METHODS...

Consistent monitoring of vital health parameters is an important issue in the medical industry. With recent technologies we are able to carry out remote monitoring of physiological parameters in patients. This allows communication between a patient and medical personnel using a smart-phone, which will collect, analyze and transfer heart rate and oxygen saturation data for subsequent review by a...

Rising healthcare spending has led to an increase in calls for ways to reduce the cost of healthcare. Amid the debate on the best approach on cut costs in the healthcare system, one of the few bipartisan provisions is the need to integrate modern technology into the storage and transfer of medical records. Current attempts to establish such electronic medical records are challenged by concerns ...

Recent advances in wearable electronics combined with wireless communications are essential to the realization of medical applications through health monitoring technologies. For example, a smart contact lens, which is capable of monitoring the physiological information of the eye and tear fluid, could provide real-time, noninvasive medical diagnostics. However, previous reports concerning the ...

A system is presented for long-term monitoring of respiration and pulse. It comprises four non-contact sensors based on magnetic eddy current induction that are textile-integrated into a shirt. The sensors are technically characterized by laboratory experiments that investigate the sensitivity and measuring depth, as well as the mutual interaction between adjacent pairs of sensors. The ability ...
