mobile phones are two-way radios that emit electromagnetic radiation in microwave range. as the number of mobile phone users has reached 6 billion, the bioeffects of exposure to mobile phone radiation and mobile phone electromagnetic interference with electronic equipment have received more attention, globally. as self-monitoring of blood glucose can be a beneficial part of diabetes control, ho...

This specification defines a Uniform Resource Name (URN) namespace for the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) and a Namespace Specific String (NSS) for the International Mobile station Equipment Identity (IMEI), as well as an associated parameter for the International Mobile station Equipment Identity and Software Version number (IMEISV). The IMEI and IMEISV were introdu...

Many studies have been carried out and many commercial software applications have been developed to improve the performances of surface mining operations, especially for the loader-trucks cycle of surface mining. However, there have been quite few studies aiming to improve the mining process of underground mines. In underground mines, mobile mining equipment is mostly scheduled instinctively, w...

The objective of this tutorial is to enhance the participants’ skills in designing user interfaces for mobile equipment, including adaptive and context sensitive user interfaces and multimodal interaction. Through a combination of lectures and practical exercises, a collection of patterns addressing issues regarding designing user interfaces on mobile devices is presented. The patterns address ...

Global Positioning System (GPS) has been widely used for precise positioning and navigation and it has also been increasingly used as a data source for Geographic Information System (GIS). This paper describes the concepts of integrating GPS, GIS and wireless communication for the development of a mobile equipment management system. Such a system could result in considerable operational cost sa...

This paper presents the SDR issues to be addressed in a future heterogeneous environment covering also the IP networks. The new project SCOUT (Smart user-Centric cOmmUnication environmenT) will consider this as a key issue. For a comprehensive view the different future research topics and initial concepts are highlighted. One of the major issues to be solved will be the detailed definition of t...
