Remote water monitoring system

A remote water monitoring system is described that integrates the functions of sampling, sample preservation, sample analysis, data transmission and remote operation. The system employs a floating buoy carrying an antenna connected by lines to one or more sampling units containing several sample chambers. Receipt of a command signal actuates a solenoid to open an intake valve outward from the sampling unit and communicates the water sample to an identifiable sample chamber. Such response to each signal receipt is repeated until all sample chambers are filled in a sample unit. Each sample taken is analyzed by an electrochemical sensor for a specific property and the data obtained is transmitted to a remote sending and receiving station. Thereafter, the samples remain isolated in the sample chambers until the sampling unit is recovered and the samples removed for further laboratory analysis

A smartphone-based Teleradiology system

The development of a teleradiology application for remote monitoring and processing of patient image data using 2nd generation mobile devices with enhanced network services, is of extreme interest, especially when the final means of display is a smartphone, a very light and compact handheld device. In the following paper the development of applications, that are responsible for remote monitoring and processing of medical images, is investigated

APPLICATION OF REMOTE AND MONITORING BASED JAVA REMOTE METHOD INVOCATION

This research aims to develop application software of Remote and Monitoring based on Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI). This application software can be used as remote control and monitoring on a connected computer network that is not limited to the operating system used. This study uses an object-oriented software development and combined with the waterfall software model process which through 4 stages. The first stage, analysis requirement, observation of the application of existing remote system, and the study of literature. Second stage, the design of the system include use case diagrams that illustrate the actors activities of the application and sequence diagrams describe the sequence of execution of applications. Third stages, coding, coding implementation of the design sequence diagrams and test units or more often called white-box testing. Fourth stages, integrated testing includes the black-box testing, alpha testing that will be used to determine the performance of the application, and beta testing to users of the Focus Group Discussion Digital Networks and Multimedia Puskom UNY. Based on the testing results of software applications Remote and Monitoring based on Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) indicates that: 1) Application of Remote and Monitoring based Java Remote Method Invocation has been successfully designed, manufactured, and implemented. 2) The performance of the application of of Remote and Monitoring based Java Remote Method Invocation has a good performance all the systems tested can run and work in accordance with the desired specifications. 3) Feasibility of applications Remote and Monitoring based on Java Remote Method Invocation in terms of usability is very feasible with percentage 82,14 %.

Remote monitoring of a thermal plume

A remote-sensing experiment conducted on May 17, 1977, over the Surry nuclear power station on the James River, Virginia is discussed. Isotherms of the thermal plume from the power station were derived from remotely sensed data and compared with in situ water temperature measurements provided by the Virginia Electric and Power Company, VEPCO. The results of this study were also qualitatively compared with those from other previous studies under comparable conditions of the power station's operation and the ambient flow. These studies included hydraulic model predictions carried out by Pritchard and Carpenter and a 5-year in situ monitoring program based on boat surveys

Applications of remote sensing techniques to county land use and flood hazard mapping

The application of remote sensing in Arizona is discussed. Land use and flood hazard mapping completed by the Applied Remote Sensing Program is described. Areas subject to periodic flood inundation are delineated and land use maps monitoring the growth within specific counties are provided

Virtual Teams: Work/Life Challenges - Keeping Remote Employees Engaged

Remotely located employees are quickly becoming a norm in the modern workplace in response to evidence that telecommuters save on costs and produce more efficiently. There are many intangible benefits also felt with the increasing prevalence of remote employees. Telecommuters are more satisfied with their work/life balance and report lower rates of job burnout. Though there are also many well-identified setbacks remotely located managers and employees may face. Employers see the most success with telecommuting by first recruiting the people best fit to fill these remote roles. However, the process of developing remote employees is a process that requires constant monitoring. The purpose of this paper is to identify the best practices being used by companies to keep remote employees engaged while simultaneously avoiding burnout
