Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is currently experiencing a lag in consumer adoption potentially due to the industry led technology push with little consideration of consumer needs. This research aimed to assess current consumer awareness and adoption whilst in addition analysing future interest in IoT products or services and the barriers preventing adoption. Initial research involved a literature review of concept origins, technology, applications, data management, and standards for the IoT. Additional research was undertaken using a mixed methodology approach comprising of semistructured informal interviews and a structured online questionnaire survey both performed using members of the general public. The results revealed a current overall poor awareness and adoption of IoT products and services, however, a significant interest in future adoption. Various communication and technical barriers were also identified preventing current interest from actual adoption. The research discusses key insights from data collection which could aid in the removal of observed barriers. These insights involved increased consumer education, development of greater product benefit, and the introduction of standards to ensure interoperability. Application of these research findings could help enable increased widespread adoption of IoT products and service.

Abstract

Adders have always been area of continual research in VLSI for high speed data path design. There have been different architectures proposed with design metrics and both the structures are compared for the parameters of power consumption and delay. In the proposed architecture using True single phase clocked (TSPC), D-Latch for square root (SQRT) carry select look ahead adder is compared with Multi-Threshold complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) D-latch based design. The design shows power dissipation reduction about 56% than that of MTCMOS. Further the proposed architecture using Multi-Threshold TSPCD-Latch for SQRT carry select look ahead adder is compared with Multi-Threshold CMOSD-latch based designs, the design with TSPC shows the power delay product reduction about 11%. Further, the proposed design is compared with different existing carry select adder designs. Hence, the proposed structure which has small area and less power consumption is implemented for 8-bit adder to reduce the power consumption and delay.

Abstract

VLSI is the advanced technology mainly intended to incorporate million of transistors or ICs placed on a printed circuit board. As the technology advances, System on Chip (SoC) parameters are scaled to achieve high throughputs. Also different test patterns, Automatic Test Equipment, Automatic test pattern generators are important for testing memory, and device under Test ICs are required to find the faulty chips and hence nesecessary of Automatic Test pattern genetators, which help not only to increase the performance of the circuit, but also increase the life time of the component. In this paper, a high accuracy and wide data rate range pulse generator with 10 ps time resolution is presented to perform Automatic Test. The pulse generator works with two modules like Edge Combiner (EC) and Multi phase clock Generator (MPCG). Edge Combiner focuses on explaining the functionality of data range and timing resolution based on phase selection logic and also down counter. In Multi Phase Clock Generator, a Multiphase Oscillator (MPO) holds a ring oscillator scheme to extend operational frequency. Another advantage of multi phase oscillator is to reduce output phase errors if there is any layout mismatches. The design was implemented on 32 Nanometer CMOS technology with Virtex FPGA is the target Hardware device. Experimental results prove that the Area occupied and power consumed by the proposed pulse generators are found to have Low area and low power consumption, respectively.

Abstract

In this paper, the rapidly emerging global landscape, introduction, working, and new implementations of remotely piloted aerial vehicles which will be highly effective for use in defence has been explained. This paper presents a novel way for effective functioning and to reduce the problems encountered by military personnel. This UAV is merely different from that of the existing UAVs. This UAV possesses single propeller connected to a brushless motor present in the middle of the UAV and it has excellent subsystem with a good recovery system, which will be useful in recovering data back. It has the technology that can reproduce its energy (power) back as a boots trapper is connected to the rotor where it will power back. It has different sensors like Ultrasonic Sensor (to detect obstacle), Chemical Sensor (to detect chemicals), Sensing Sensor (to operate UAV), etc. It can not only fly, but also can move on the earth. It can adjust to various o environmental conditions. It has a good battery system (it can work for long time). The camera can rotate in 360 and it will give 3D image processing. It works not only on GPS, but also on sensor. This UAV contains high security to data, if caught by an opponent they cannot read the data. If anyone wants to see data, then the person who is operating or the commander chief's biometric is needed. The UAV has an option of auto pilot (autonomous riding capacity). This research work mainly deals with army personnel as these type of UAVs could save many lives. Finally, the paper identifies a specific comprehensive manner for the future policy in military applications.

Abstract

Recently, Government of India has been implementing the schemes of smart city for various cities. The smart city services such as transportation, security, water distribution, electricity distribution, environmental pollution monitoring, waste management, etc., are the major services, which should be made smart to realize the theme of smart city. Out of these services, waste management plays a commendable role in making the city smart. Collections of waste management of the same are the major problems in many cities. Therefore, the present research work is undertaken for designing of smart electronic solution for waste management. To achieve the desired goal of waste management of smart city, an innovative technology, called popular embedded technology and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) are used, where embedded technology helps to design the application and user interface layer and the WSN helps to integrate communication layer with application layer. Out of several concepts of Smart City, the authors have selected to facilitate the smart dustbin for smart city. The hardware part of the system is wired about PIC microcontroller and for wireless communication, the IEEE 805.15.4 standard based Zigbee module is strengthened. In addition to this, to monitor the waste, the weight and level sensor is used. The software part is developed in embedded system and after that calibration system is implemented for desired application typically dustbin monitoring. On investigation, the system works with reliability and high accuracy.
