The proliferation of the Internet of Things is calling for new modalities that enable human interaction with smart objects. Recent research has explored RFID tags as passive sensors to detect finger touch. However, existing approaches either rely on ...

Positioning based on visible light is gaining significant attention. But most existing studies rely on a key requirement: The object of interest needs to carry an optical receiver (camera or photodiode). We remove this requirement and investigate the ...

The real-time monitoring system can improve the management of passive energy-saving houses. Therefore, this paper proposes a real-time monitoring system for passive energy-saving houses in the internet of things. Construct the overall framework of the ...

Haptic technology can be used as a tool for learning. Can even the haptic elements in a smartwatch teach a new skill? Here we present a case of using a smartwatch for passive tactile learning. We use the Sony Smartwatch 3 to teach users Morse code while ...

From the late 1990s, there are a lot of researches on robotic assistance devices for rehabilitation by robot-mediated therapy produced improvements on recovery of motor capacity. But until now, the robots haven't been shown a better qualitative benefit ...

This paper presents the design of smart bracelet composed of RFID chip M24LR04E-R and STM8L152C6T6 ultra-low power microcontroller, electronic ink screen and PCB antenna. Design prototype have achieved that when the PC-side host computer to send ...

Passive Haptic Learning (PHL) is the acquisition of sensorimotor skills with little or no active attention to learning. This technique is facilitated by wearable computing, and applications are diverse. However, it is not known whether rhythm-based ...

In this work, we present an approach to extract social relationship of mobile users by passively monitoring WiFi probe requests. By analyzing the correlations of the Receive Signal Strength of packets from these low rate transmissions, we are able to ...

Vulnerabilities within Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) represent a significant safety, ecological and economical risk to owners, operators and nation states. Numerous examples from recent years are available ...

We proposed the passive MPPT method in 2013 for the MPPT problem of small-scale off-grid wind power generator systems. This novel method allows the proposed wind power generator system to automatically track the maximum power points that correspond to ...

Most critical security vulnerabilities depend on the OS. If a hacker finds a machine with a vulnerable OS, then he can attack the system. Network administrators can defend against OS-specific attacks if they can find vulnerable machines before hackers ...

This paper presents the simulation study ofmagneto-rheological (MR) damper and hydraulic actuator forsuspension system using intelligent PID controller withiterative learning algorithm. The MR damper is an intelligentdamper filled with particle magnetic ...

In order to enhance the efficiency of radio frequency identification (RFID) and lower system computational complexity, this paper proposes three novel tag anticollision protocols for passive RFID systems. The three proposed protocols are based on a ...

RFID (radio frequency identification) technology has been widely used for object tracking in many real-life applications, such as inventory monitoring and product flow tracking. These applications usually rely on passive RFID technologies rather than ...

How fast is the network? The speed at which real users can download content at different locations and at different times is an important metric for service providers. Knowledge of this speed helps determine where to provision more capacity and helps ...

Network diagnosis, an essential research topic for traditional networking systems, has not received much attention for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Existing sensor debugging tools like sympathy or EmStar rely heavily on an add-in protocol that ...

In this work, we study indoor passive tracking problem in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), in which we assume the target being tracked is "clean", i.e., there is no any equipment carried by the target and the tracking procedure is considered to be ...

Using simple and cost-effective tags, passive RFID systems offer a promising aid for identifying and localizing objects and users in indoor environments. Although systems based on radio frequencies usually suffer from multi-path interference and signal ...

In ubiquitous computing, localization of users in indoor environments is a challenging issue. On the one hand, localization data needs to have fine granularity to provide reasonable input for intention recognition and task planning. On the other hand, ...

The term interactivity is used in many disciplines, including communication, professional/technical writing, new media, computer science, and marketing to describe a specific feature of different types of texts. However, little consensus has been ...
