individuals to become more productive. However, I believe that Tesla’s new autopilot system could potentially be dangerous as they would have programmed route data and could ignore traffic lights which could cause more traffic accidents and whole system of sensors, etc. could malfunction. In the article by NewsELA titled PRO/CON: Are self-driving cars the future of transportation? By the Tribune News Service, it was stated “Driverless cars rely primarily on pre-programmed information about…

higher UV efficiency by killing or deactivating maximum bacteria and virus in water. Filter change and UV fail alarm - The Kent Grand Plus RO water purifier have an assembly of sensors that are connected to a computer system that helps to alert the user to change the filter or UV lamp. This water purifier has sensors attached to the filters that would send signals to the computer system when the UV lamp becomes insufficient or when it is time for a filter change, the computer in-turn alerts…

enable remote monitoring, early prevention, and medical treatment. Encrypting information to make it secure in is difficult in field of medical IOT, since the sensor devices that collect, transfer and store medical data are not high-powered computing systems that can encrypt and decrypt medical data at ease. Difficulty in encrypting sensor data has opened up a door for hackers at various levels of data transmission. In the the report we have analyzed privacy and security issues for these IOT…

is a common occurrence. Since 2014 there has been over 100 wring way drivers in just the Tampa Bay area. This problem seems so crazy and so unthinkable but it happens more than people realize. Wrong way drivers are a major problem but spikes and sensors that can notify police and drop a gate could go a long way to save the lives of many.…

It triggers the real-time inventory action based on the collected data from the beacon, sensors and other smart devices that can be attached to the package, shelves and counters of the in-stores. IoT-devices also enable the retailer to understand which products are underperforming and high as stocks? What are running out of the stock? And the…

Customs and Border Protection , through Air and Marine Operations (AMO), is responsible for identifying potential air threats to the United States, i.e. aircraft involved in the aerial transit of contraband into the United States. AMO conducts air surveillance operations by detecting, monitoring, and tracking suspect cooperative and non-cooperative aircraft. Surveillance (observation), combined with intelligence, law enforcement case work and open source information, creates air domain…

Gesture Recognition of American Sign Language words with Prime Sense sensors using MATLAB Manjusha Choorakuzil, Unnikrishnan Parameswarany,Michael Buckleyz Dept. of Computer Science and Engg. University at Buffalo,SUNY Amherst,Buffalo, New York 14226 Email : mchoorak@buffalo.edu,unnikris@buffalo.eduy,mikeb@buffalo.eduz Abstract—Sign Language is the primary medium of communication for the hearing impaired and mute in our society. Like any good Sign Language, American Sign Language (ASL) does…

developed simple and cordless personal navigation system (PNS). The PNS is a synchronized system consisting of a gyro and magnetic compass sensors, and connected to a small wearable personal computer (WPC) of a wrist watch type. Nickel-hydrogen rechargeable batteries are supplied as the electrical power of both sensors. The WPC is worn like a wrist watch, the small sensors are fixed to a person 's back near the center of body gravity, and batteries are inserted into a person 's waist pouch. When…

piece of index card, a pasco glx device with a photogate sensor, and an object to elevate the ramp. First, the lab group arranged the materials for the experiment. We elevated the ramp up a small angle. The Lab determined the total distance the car must travel to the photogate was 30 centimeters. We then measured a small “flag” that was made from an index card that is taped on the car. The purpose of the “flag” was to interrupt the photogate sensor in order to capture the time it takes for the…

Microsoft Kinect is a depth sensor that quickly returns high-resolution depth images for a low cost. The original version of the Kinect 3D camera uses a real-time algorithm to calculate distance by triangulation using randomly-projected infrared light beams (Chen, Yue, Wu, & Wang, 2014), and presents point-like depth readings in the form of point clouds (Stefanczyk et al., 2013). According to Fankhauser et al. (2015), the second version of Kinect is a time-of-flight depth sensor, meaning that…
