An Internet based power measurement technique

Abstract: The current energy savings technology relies on conventional data logging systems, in which two major barriers exist. Foremost is the fact that retrieving the energy data is not convenient, and the cost of the data logging equipment is high. The solution presented here to accomplish these goals is to include a miniature Web server in a remote-logging module, which we designed as part of our device; thus allowing data to be accessed more frequently, via the Internet. As it currently stands, the state of California in the United States is experiencing power grid problems as residential and industrial energy demands increase. If an energy savings program is to be implemented, then an energy monitoring strategy must also devised. Our Internet appliance provides a solution, and this paper summarizes our implementation details and provides a computer screen-capture of the data being posted onto the Internet.

Neurologists and the Internet.

Abstract: The development of the electronic Internet catalyzed a communications revolution that may compare with the invention of the printing press. The Internet has greatly expanded our ability to communicate with one another. Currently, about 1 in 5 Americans have used the Internet. 1 Web addresses are becoming ubiquitous, even on television advertisements and highway billboards. We access the Internet for news, weather, factual information, financial investment, and interpersonal communication.

Hacking Tricks Toward Security on Network Environments

Abstract: Mounting popularity of the Internet has led to the birth of instant messaging, an up-and-coming form of Internet communication. Instant messaging is very popular with businesses and individuals since it has instant communication ability. As a result, Internet security has become a pressing and important topic for discussion. Therefore, in recent years, a lot of attention has been drawn towards Internet security and the various attacks carried out by hackers over the Internet. People today often handle affairs via the Internet. For instance, instead of the conventional letter, they communicate with others by e-mails; they chat with friends through an instant messenger; find information by browsing Websites instead of going to the library; perform e-commerce transactions through the Internet, etc. Although the convenience of the Internet makes our life easier, it is also a threat to Internet security. For instance, a business email intercepted during its transmission may let slip business confidentiality; file transfers via instant messengers may also be intercepted, and then implanted with backdoor malwares; conversations via instant messengers could be eavesdropped. Furthermore, ID and password theft may lose us money when using Internet bank service. Attackers on the Internet use hacking tricks to damage systems while users are connected to the Internet. These threats along with possible careless disclosure of business information make instant messaging a very unsafe method of communication for businesses. The paper divides hacking tricks into three categories: (1) Trojan programs that share files via instant messenger; (2) phishing or fraud via e-mails; and (3) fake Websites

A systematic approach for closer integration of cellular and Internet services

Abstract: The road to 4G runs through 3G, 2G and 2.5G networks. Until 3G is deployed ubiquitously, 2-2.5G networks and endpoints dominate. Because of their widespread deployment and adoption, these endpoints can help ease the transition to an all-Internet 3G/4G network. We describe a standards-based service architecture and its implementation that allows 2-2.5G endpoints to participate as active actors in realizing Internet services like presence and instant messaging without the endpoints themselves being connected to the Internet. Our architecture also demonstrates service migration, wherein a successful 2G service such as short messaging service morphs transparently into its Internet equivalent, an instant message. Our methodology conserves precious radio access bandwidth by offloading such data services from the bandwidth normally allocated to voice. Our approach, as embodied in the service architecture, is to leverage the best of the Internet protocols (SIP, XML) and technologies (instant messaging, presence) to provide a general framework for personalized service specification and execution.
