Fax-compatible internet appliance

Abstract: A Fax-compatible Internet appliance includes a network connection section for communication with a network using both data protocols and fax protocols, a video section including a video signal output for outputting video signals to be displayed on a video display, a user interface signal receiver for receiving user interface signals generated by a reduced-keyset user interface device, and a processing unit which controls the network connection section and the video section to generate video signals for displaying received fax messages on the video display. The processing unit provides user interface functions via the video display and user interface signals, the interface functions enabling the user to control transmission, reception and display of fax messages solely through the reduced-keyset user interface unit.

ABC of Medical Computing: THE INTERNET

Abstract: The Internet is a huge network of computers that spans the globe. It originated in the late 1960s from an American military project which was intended to provide reliable communications in the event of a nuclear war. The network started with just four computers but grew rapidly over the next few years. An estimated 40 million computers are now connected to it, and this number is growing by about 10% each year. Although access was originally restricted to government departments and organisations such as universities, the Internet has recently been opened up to everybody. It is now used by people and organisations from all walks of life including commercial organisations, university departments, hospitals, and medical schools, as well as agrowing number of individual users dialling in from home. The Internet is best regarded as a framework which allows the free exchange of information between computers. With new services and users connecting to the network every day, it is becoming increasingly valuable as an information resource and communications superhighway. Among other things, it is now possible to access thousands of databases at universities and other research centres all over the world, read electronic journals, view and buy products from numerous companies, exchange news and views on a wide range of specialist subjects, and send virtually instantaneous electronic mail to any organisation, company, or individual connected to the internet. ### Services available on theInternet Accessing the Internet is very easy.

A Survey on Internet of Things

Abstract: “Everything that is blend to the internet is cognizant”, is going to be the new rule for future. Future is Internet of Things (IOT we are moving towards it with swift pace. Generally to the way humans use internet, now onwards gadgets will be the main users of IOT ecosystem. We know that, today internet has already taken an decisive part of everyday life and it has also fiercely changed the lives of human being. This paper introduces Internet of Things (IOTs), which offers competence to identify and connect worldwide physical objects into a unified system. As a part of IOTs, serious interest is raised over access of particular information related to device and individual privacy. This survey epitomizes the security threats and privacy concerns of IOT .Main permissive factor of this conception is the assimilation of various technologies. In this paper, we describe the key technologies elaborate in the implementation of Internet of Things and the leading application discipline where the Internet of Things will play a key role. The global sensing networks is enabled by Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and these technologies cuts across many areas of modern day living. The rise of these devices in a communicating and actuating network will create the Internet of Things (IOT). Here the sensors and actuators bind easily with the environment around us and the knowledge is shared across various terrace in order to develop a common operating picture (COP). Internet
