Autonomous intrusion detection information system

Abstract – Implementation of security arrangements for insecure premises, for example, for temporary exhibitions or infrequent public events, usually results in substantial security personnel costs which can be potentially reduced by employing an easily installable ad hoc intrusion detection information system. In the paper we described the architecture, design and experimental results for a fully prototyped information system that utilizes ultrasonic sensors operating in the pulse echo mode for the perimeter control and ZigBee transceivers for wireless networking. The system consists of inexpensive autonomous sensor nodes with the component cost of less than £25 and a control terminal with a graphical user interface controlled by a touch screen. The nodes are programmed wirelessly to detect intrusion within any user set distance up to the operating distance of the node, and can operate unattended for days.

A Smart Baby Cradle

A small baby needs parents' attention for whole day and 7 days a week, which is impossible due to other priorities like house hold activities, official works and personal works. Day care centre or nanny is the two options available which involves lot of passion. We all live in a world where technologies are sournded all around us. The new generations of parents were raised up with this amazing technology. There are lots of things or items present on these earth that parents will buy to help them care for their baby (Cradle, Crib, Baby Monitor, etc.). So, there is a need for safe and secure place to take good care of the children2019;s need with minimum human intervention and care, which can be accomplished with the help of a 201C;Smart Baby Cradle201D;. A 201C;Smart Baby Cradle201D; provides parents a smart automatic cradle system which help these parents monitor and comfort the baby. The Smart Baby Cradle allows them to monitoring their babies, the cradle, play soothing music, even speak to the baby, observing the temperature of the infant, bed wet sensor which will caution the attendants for bunk wetting of the infant. The mother where so ever she is can have a look on the baby through camera inserted in the cradle. All the fittings are done through Arduino and PIR sensor. Additionally, we provide a predefined nutrition food chart to help baby remain healthy

Data-driven analysis of interactions between people with dementia and a tablet device

Abstract In the project I-CARE a technical system for tablet devices is developed that captures the personal needs and skills of people with dementia. The system provides activation content such as music videos, biographical photographs and quizzes on various topics of interest to people with dementia, their families and professional caregivers. To adapt the system, the activation content is adjusted to the daily condition of individual users. For this purpose, emotions are automatically detected through facial expressions, motion, and voice. The daily interactions of the users with the tablet devices are documented in log files which can be merged into an event list. In this paper, we propose an advanced format for event lists and a data analysis strategy. A transformation scheme is developed in order to obtain datasets with features and time series for popular methods of data mining. The proposed methods are applied to analysing the interactions of people with dementia with the I-CARE tablet device. We show how the new format of event lists and the innovative transformation scheme can be used to compress the stored data, to identify groups of users, and to model changes of user behaviour. As the I-CARE user studies are still ongoing, simulated benchmark log files are applied to illustrate the data mining strategy. We discuss possible solutions to challenges that appear in the context of I-CARE and that are relevant to a broad range of applications.</jats:p

Pervasive surveillance-agent system based on wireless sensor networks: design and deployment

Nowadays, proliferation of embedded systems is enhancing the possibilities of gathering information by using wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Flexibility and ease of installation make these kinds of pervasive networks suitable for security and surveillance environments. Moreover, the risk for humans to be exposed to these functions is minimized when using these networks. In this paper, a virtual perimeter surveillance agent, which has been designed to detect any person crossing an invisible barrier around a marked perimeter and send an alarm notification to the security staff, is presented. This agent works in a state of 'low power consumption' until there is a crossing on the perimeter. In our approach, the 'intelligence' of the agent has been distributed by using mobile nodes in order to discern the cause of the event of presence. This feature contributes to saving both processing resources and power consumption since the required code that detects presence is the only system installed. The research work described in this paper illustrates our experience in the development of a surveillance system using WNSs for a practical application as well as its evaluation in real-world deployments. This mechanism plays an important role in providing confidence in ensuring safety to our environment

Development of an Intelligent Baby Cradle for Home and Hospital Use

The customary Automatic child cradle frameworks are excessively lavish and they additionally don't offer much usefulness. This venture intends to help those moms who are excessively occupied and don't have a cleaning specialist or sitter to deal with their infants. This paper portrays the configuration of a programmed cradle which fundamentally chips away at location of infant development with the assistance of a pir sensor. pir sensor detects the movement of infant. After the location of enlivening of infant various occasions are terminated which incorporate sending notices to mother by sms, swinging of cradle with the goal that the child feels good. In the event that the child does not rest and/or quiets down after a certain period, a warning (SMS) is sent to the folks saying that the infant needs their consideration. The cradle likewise incorporates extra gimmicks like observing the temperature of the infant to give therapeutic thoughtfulness regarding the child and cautions the folks if the body temperature of the child goes above to given threshold temperature. The cradle additionally incorporates a wet sensor which will caution the folks or the attendant/sitter for bunk wetting of the infant. It will help to keep the infant in a hygienic environment. The framework is kept negligible as far as fittings as greatest measure of usefulness of the cradle is performed through Arduino.The cradle is vitality productive and obliges no physical consideratio
