  • Sensor Node Essay

    1255 Words  | 3 Pages

    A sensor node is also known as a mote (mostly in North America). This sensor node in a wireless sensor network is capable of performing some processing, gathering of sensory information and communicating with other connected nodes in the network. It must be clearly understood that a mote is a node but a node is not always a mote. Although wireless sensor nodes have existed for decades and used for applications as diverse as earthquake measurements to even warfare, the latest development of small

I. Introduce Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN) has received

  • Dynamic Key Management System for Improving Security in Three-tier Environment

    1217 Words  | 3 Pages

    The key management problem is an bigger issue in sensor field. Each and every sensor nodes are needed to transmit the node, then only the data’s are reached to base station, so each and every sensor node within a group need an keys to transmit the data. While attacker entered and also get the full access of sensor node, and ready to hack data, but they need to wait. Because the node are none of the keys at the time, transmitting time only the nodes get access of keys from the cluster head. A cluster

    Introduction Background A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of distributed sensors to monitor environmental conditions such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion or detect dimensions, to pass their data through the network to a base station for processing. Advantages of WSN over a wired system considered in elimination of wiring cost, sensors can be installed in harsh environments. Each sensor node is a combination of Radio transceiver with an internal antenna or connection

    Through numerous analysis and meeting with prospective customers we have concluded that having a Battery-Less-Hearing Aid is correct direction to head. We have developed these hearing aids to work by means of a heat sensor. When the aid touches your skin behind your ear the sensor in the hearing aid detects the heat and automatically turns on allowing you to hear. We have continued to run tests and do analysis to further optimize the components of our Battery-Less-Hearing Aid. Once we had a prototyped

    emotion of proudness that a creator would feel when his creation works, in my second semester of undergraduate studies, when the wall follower robot that I designed and built using simple logic gates worked like a charm. Digital data from the three sensors on the robot were providing the robot with sufficient surrounding information for it to follow the wall autonomously, without human intervention. Since then, my interest in building intelligent systems has continued through my education, projects

    pieces and sensors provided in the tackle box were used. The design of the robot was modified from the original versions however, with the following specifications. The wheels were positioned in the front part of the robot, thus changing the axis of rotation to the front of the robot when it turned. Instead of the conventional four wheel design, the two rear wheels were replaced with a single pivoting wheel, thus reducing the resistance when turning. Finally, an ultrasonic sensor and sound sensor were

  • Laser Crack Measurement System for Pavement-Management Sytems

    1587 Words  | 4 Pages

    Pavement-management systems (PMS) can work effectively only when they are constructed by organically combining all activities concerned with road pavement (planning, design, construction, maintenance, rehabilitation, evaluation, economic analysis, and research) and the data bank [1]. Then, the most important items are the establishment of a serviceability index, which represents pavement quality, and a prediction of performance, which is represented by the relation between time (and/or traffic) and

    disc has holes in it and next to the disc is an infrared LED and an infrared sensor. As the disc spins the hole in the disc breaks the beams of light generated by the LED and the sensor picks up these pulses of light. The speed of the pulses is related to how far the mouse has travelled. If the disc spins faster the further the mouse would have travelled. A diagram below shows one of these discs.

    shines through the openings. This light is detected by two light sensors, which send signals to the computer of the movement. The offset of the light that the sensors receive determines the direction of each axis. So that motion is detected, the ball needs traction between the ball and the rollers, which is a major drawback to this design. A pure optical mouse works a little differently. Optical Mice need special grids that the sensor inside of the mice needs to see to negotiate motion. When this
