Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is a technological advancement offering extra intelligence to humans by enabling communication between objects, machines, and between people. IoT has received considerable attention from researchers in recent years as it has the potential to improve life of people all over the world. IoT is a system made up of things in the real world and sensors connected to those things, connected to the Internet through a network structure that is both wired and wireless. IoT sensors can communicate in a variety of ways, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, as well as using various technologies, including GSM, GPRS, 3G, and LTE, to enable communication over large areas. IoT will enable the world to become smart in all aspects as it will provide the means for smart cities, smart healthcare, smart homes and buildings, and many other key applications such as smart energy, networking, transportation, waste management and monitoring. This paper reviews various applications and technologies used in IoT, including its future prospects.

Abstract

Firefighting has always been a risky profession, many lives are lost despite technological innovation. The existing firefighting tactics are prone to human mistakes. The life of firefighters has always been endangered during explosions or radioactive explosions, when even high-quality suits and equipment are useless. There is a growing trend to use robots instead of humans to put out fires. This paper proposes autonomous robots capable of detecting people caught in fire and extinguishing fires in conditions where humans cannot intervene. The robot moves around the affected area and avoids any obstacles encountered along the way. A robot with a built-in infrared camera will intelligently check the damaged area for human life, while other robots will help put out fires that are too far away from humans. As a result, it will be possible to save human lives inside the fire impacted region without jeopardizing the lives of human firefighters.

Abstract

This article discusses the elimination of dispersion using a fiber Bragg grating (FBG). FBG reflects certain wavelengths of light and transmits all others. This is a type of Bragg reflector built on a short length of optical fiber. The modulation format is Non Return to Zero (NRZ). This article uses a NRZ modulation format, analyze fiber optic transmission with increasing length, and then compare these results with optical transmission integrated with a dispersion compensation method. FBGs are used as a key element of optical communication as dispersion compensators. Performance analysis is based on the occurrence of variance for different lengths.

Abstract

The raising population and increased number of vehicles in cities has a direct correlation with traffic congestion and accidents. Lack of immediate medical care in road accidents causes loss of life. In such situations, automatic accident detection can save lives. In this paper, an automatic accident detection system is proposed using Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) and Internet of Things (IoT). This system will be designed using Passive Infrared (PIR) Sensor, Node Microcontroller Unit (MCU), Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), Global Positioning System (GPS), Heartbeat (HB) Sensor, On-Board Unit (OBU), Degree/Minute/Second (DMS), and Micro Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS). The application is able to determine the accident and the severity of the emergency level using mechanical and medical sensors installed in the car and inform ambulance with the location parameters.

Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most aggressive cancers. The probability of five-year survival expectancy is inversely proportional to the time difference between the onset of the disease and its detection. Some malignant tumors are sensitive to staining materials such as toluidine blue. These staining materials are used to stain and mark the area encroached by the cancer cells for visual examination. This paper presents a review of the in-vivo staining materials and their effectiveness in marking malignant and pre-malignant lesions. Also, it presents a study on various in-vivo imaging techniques used as adjuncts for the detection of oral malignancy.
