Centralized Heart Rate Monitoring Telemetry System Using ZigBee Wireless
Sensor Network
2012
DESCRIPTION
Recent advances in wireless communication standards and medical monitoring system have made
it possible to effectively combine mesh networking with Non-Invasive medical application which
is Pulse Oximeter in order to create reliable, large-scale wireless Network. This Mesh networking
will enable doctors and nurses to observe and monitor a number of patients simultaneously from
one location without being with the patient's physically. This project is mainly concerned about
monitoring patient's condition simultaneously via Wireless Mesh Network. Wireless Mesh
Network is a network that allows data transmitted to the node's nearest neighbours and it can be
easily maintained as each node are self-configuring and self-healing. Data obtained from multiple
pulse oximeters will be stored and processed using Arduino-Nano, then transmitted to a
centralized unit, where the information for multiple oximeter will be displayed simultaneously.
The efficiency of data transmission was monitored and verified. Mesh networking for pulse
oximeter had been successfully design to show the active pulse oximeter. Besides, the data
transmit and received by the XBee were accurate and it had been proved through several

Cloud-Enabled Home Automation Gateway with the Support for UPnP Over
IPv4/IPv6 and 6LoWPAN
2012
DESCRIPTION
The most recent requests for interoperability between the different devices within a home
automation system have brought IP-based protocols to the attention in this area. However, a
number of hurdles need to be overcome so that the IP connection to home devices could become
enabled, the most important being the requests for a large address space and low power
consumption. In this paper we present a solution of a home gateway device with the ability to
interact with IPv6-enabled home devices over 6LoWPAN, with regard to the increased address
space and low power consumption, respectively. Additionally, the gateway supports the
traditional IPv4 interfacing over WiFi and Ethernet. UPnP over IPv6 is fully enabled so that all
the devices can be easily found by UPnP discovery from any node in the network. Finally, the
gateway populates the discovered devices to a cloud server, which in turn enables a variety of web
applications for home control to interact to home devices by using asynchronous API calls.

Context-Aware Platform with User Availability Estimation and Light-Based
Announcements
2012
DESCRIPTION
As the number of computer-based systems and consumer gadgets is growing, users are becoming
increasingly overwhelmed by the requests for attention coming from this variety of devices. In
addition, technology has quickened the pace of life and work to the extent that interaction between
people has become more frequent. Dealing with both social and device-driven interruptions has
become one of the important goals of context-aware systems of today. This paper proposes a
context-aware platform that can help mitigate the negative effects of interruptions in human work
and living. The platform uses a scalable set of sensors to estimate user availability in the home or
office environment. This information is announced to possible interrupters (e.g., household
members and software application) by using a web portal, lighting effects, or interfaces to a home
automation system or any other interested entity in the local network. This paper presents several
contributions to the field. Platform architecture is considered scalable enough to fit to a variety of
today’s consumer devices and smart home systems. The experiments were conducted to show the
effectiveness of the platform usage within a living room area, as opposed to the traditional office
contexts where the availability tends to be easier to determine. The last contribution is related to
the novel method and the evaluation of the use of lighting announcements of availability instead
of the traditional inefficient busy flags.

11 MBZC12-11 Design of Charging Unit for Electric Vehicles Using solar power 2012
DESCRIPTION
This paper presents a charging process undergone for electric vehicles in parking lot areas. It
allows us to evaluate a wide range of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) and Plug-in
Electric Vehicles (PEVs) charging scenarios and the corresponding control strategies. In addition,
this allows us to explore a variety of communication technologies for a PHEV/PEV charging
facility. The charging scheme used here is monitored by Arduino board. Some vehicles are parked
during the day at workplace parking garages and can be charged from the solar energy using
Photo-Voltaic (PV) cell based charging facilities. The charging with solar energy helps to reduce
the emissions from the power grid but increases the cost of charging. Moreover, it offers more
flexibility to prepare for the emergence of new technologies (e.g., Vehicle-to-Grid, Vehicle-to-
Building, and Smart Charging), which will become a reality in the near future. The simulation
results provide a general overview of the impact of the proposed charging scenarios in terms of
voltage profiles, peak demand, and charging cost.

array as the basis for a modular system for spatial audio processing which can be fitted on mobile
(or static) service robots. The study relates to a recently developed prototype robot fitted with a
low-order spherical microphone array. The robot is a small-scale table-top robot based around an
Arduino uno micro-controller. Planar movement is achieve using a two-wheel drive and steering
mechanism. Elevation is achieved using a robotic arm. The goal of the study is to reach full spatial
control of the robot through spatial audio commands. Localization includes direction and distance
using near-field and far-field algorithm.
Several approaches to system design are discussed, and a DSP-based stand-alone system is
presented. A first-order spherical microphone array was built and various source types were
tested. Issues such as reverberation and multiple source tracking are also addressed.

With the purpose of supporting and improving data collection and distribution, in this paper a
smartphone-based platform is designed that exploits low-cost dedicated hardware to interact with
sensors on board and in the vehicle surroundings. Retrieved data are classified and then
opportunistically transmitted via the most convenient wireless interface to the specific remote
control and monitoring center. A prototype is also developed to assess the technological feasibility
