01 Sep 2018-
TL;DR: A system design is presented for cattle security that address to protect the cattle farm from intruders that involves a micro controller based security system and a GSM Module.
Abstract: The Cattle theft is one of the major reason behind decline in the population of cattle. The objective of this paper is to provide the security for the cattle farm. A micro controller based security system is designed for this system. Initially, the sensors are mounted at four sides of the farm, for which the proximity range is fixed. This helps to detect the intruders along the 360° of the cattle farm based on the principle of an echo signal generated by the ultrasonic waves bounce off an object. Then the detected information is processed by the micro controller. Based on the processed information, the respective sensors trigger a security alarm and also using the GSM Module, the location of the intruder motion is sent to the owner of the cattle farm. In this paper, a system design is presented for cattle security that address to protect the cattle farm from intruders.

TL;DR: DeltaIoT is the first exemplar for research on self-adaptation that provides both a simulator for offline experimentation and a physical setup that can be accessed remotely for real-world experimentation.
Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) consists of networked tiny embedded computers (motes) that are capable of monitoring and controlling the physical world. Examples range from building security monitoring to smart factories. A central problem of IoT is minimising the energy consumption of the motes, while guaranteeing high packet delivery performance, regardless of uncertainties such as sudden changes in traffic load and communication interference. Traditionally, to deal with uncertainties the network settings are either hand-tuned or over-provisioned, resulting in continuous network maintenance or inefficiencies. Enhancing the IoT network with self-adaptation can automate these tasks. This paper presents DeltaIoT, an exemplar that enables researchers to evaluate and compare new methods, techniques and tools for self-adaptation in IoT. DeltaIoT is the first exemplar for research on self-adaptation that provides both a simulator for offline experimentation and a physical setup that can be accessed remotely for real-world experimentation.

TL;DR: The proposed sensor with dual energy harvesting achieves both a longer range and a lifetime compared with similar battery-powered sensor-enhanced RFID tags.
Abstract: This paper presents the design and experimental evaluation of a long-range solar powered sensor-enhanced radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. The tag antenna is a multiport microstrip patch with an overlay of thin-film solar cells for energy harvesting. A second port is allocated on the patch antenna for supplementary energy harvesting from the RF signal transmitted by the reader. An $I^{2}C$ -RFID chip along with a microcontroller unit (MCU) and temperature and humidity sensor are incorporated into the tag design to implement a low-cost wireless sensor using a commercial RFID reader. The measurements of the fabricated RFID-tag sensor demonstrate that a maximum sensing/reading range of 27 m is achieved when all the circuits are powered using solar cells, while it is 7.48 m with only the secondary option of energy harvesting. The proposed sensor with dual energy harvesting achieves both a longer range and a lifetime compared with similar battery-powered sensor-enhanced RFID tags. The RFID sensor is also evaluated in a climate chamber and the sensor data (temperature/humidity) were remotely recorded with an excellent accuracy using a commercial ultra high frequency (UHF) RFID reader. In addition, the sensor can be programmed for the temperature/humidity surveillance of sensitive items, such as those found in various supply chain and transportation applications.

TL;DR: Home security is a very useful application of IoT and the system will inform the owner about any unauthorized entry or whenever the door is opened by sending a notification to the user.
Abstract: IoT refers to the infrastructure of connected physical devices which is growing at a rapid rate as huge number of devices and objects are getting associated to the Internet. Home security is a very useful application of IoT and we are using it to create an inexpensive security system for homes as well as industrial use. The system will inform the owner about any unauthorized entry or whenever the door is opened by sending a notification to the user. After the user gets the notification, he can take the necessary actions. The security system will use a microcontroller known as Arduino Uno to interface between the components, a magnetic Reed sensor to monitor the status, a buzzer for sounding the alarm, and a WiFi module, ESP8266 to connect and communicate using the Internet. The main advantages of such a system includes the ease of setting up, lower costs and low maintenance.

TL;DR: In this article, an electronics nose (E-nose) based on six polymers and functionalized single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) nanocomposite gas sensors was developed and installed on a small UAV or drone platform for detection of volatile compounds in the air.
Abstract: In this work, an electronics nose (E-nose) based on six polymers and functionalized single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) nanocomposite gas sensors was developed and installed on a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV or drone) platform for detection of volatile compounds in the air. The efficiency of each gas sensor was tested in a static gas measurement chamber with presence of volatiles. The gas sensors were observed to increase response with increasing concentration of ammonia and toluene. Polyvinyl pyrolidon (PVP)/SWCNT-COOH shows the highest sensor response to both ammonia and toluene. The E-nose drone has then been demonstrated under two situations, i.e., in a closed clean room with presence of ammonia evaporation, and in open air with low wind environment. It was found that the pattern of sensor data obtained from flying the E-nose drone under different situations can be clearly distinguished. It is hoped that the E-nose drone can be a very useful technology for military usage; such as to detect explosives, as well as for farmers; such as to map the malodor emission from their cattle farms or to search for ethylene for fruit ripeness detection, etc.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a GPS/GSM (global system for mobile communication) collar, using commercial hardware and implementing a specific software [ARVAshepherd 1.0; ARVAtec Srl, Rescaldina (MI), Italy] to track animals' movements outside their grazing area and to signal when animals are straying outside virtual perimeters.
Abstract: Rustling is an age-old practice that was widespread in Italy until the first half of the 20th century. Today, incidents of cattle rustling are again being reported. However, the problem is not only found in Italy. It is also becoming a plague for ranchers in the US and is still rampant in East Africa. In Italy, the cattle rustling phenomena have usually been limited through the direct control of the herdsmen. Global positioning system (GPS) and geographic information system (GIS) combined technologies are increasingly applied for tracking and monitoring livestock with greater spatial and temporal resolution. However, so far, no case studies of the use of GPS technology to combat cattle rustling have been reported in the literature. The aim of this research was to develop a GPS/GSM (global system for mobile communication) collar, using commercial hardware and implementing a specific software [ARVAshepherd 1.0; ARVAtec Srl, Rescaldina (MI), Italy] to track animals’ movements outside their grazing area and to signal when animals are straying outside virtual perimeters. A phase I study was conducted from January to June 2011 to build the GPS/GSM collar and to assess its performances in terms of GPS accuracy and precision, while a phase II study was conducted in July 2011 to test the GPS collar under real-life operating conditions. The static GPS positioning error achieved a circular error probable (50%) and horizontal 95% accuracy of 1.462 m and 4.501 m, respectively. This is comparable with values obtained by other authors in static tests of a commercial GPS collar for grazing studies. In field tests, the system was able to identify the incorrect position of the cattle and the warning messages were sent promptly to the farmer, continuing until the animals had been repositioned inside the fence, thus highlighting the potential of the GPS/GSM collar as an anti-theft system.
