In this research, we have designed, developed implemented a wireless sensor networks based smart home for safe, sound and secured living environment for any inhabitant especially elderly living alone. We have explored a methodology for the development of efficient electronic real time data processing system to recognize the behaviour of an elderly person. The ability to determine the wellness of an elderly person living alone in their own home using a robust, flexible and data driven artificially intelligent system has been investigated. A framework integrating temporal and spatial contextual information for determining the wellness of an elderly person has been modelled. A novel behaviour detection process based on the observed sensor data in performing essential daily activities has been designed and developed.

December 2007, San Jose, California: It seems a long time ago. I walked into a big networking company to head their small Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications team. Surprisingly, I hardly knew anything about PoE prior to that day, having been a switching-power conversion engineer almost all my life. But it seemed a great opportunity to widen my horizons. As you can see, one notable outcome of that seemingly illogical career choice five years ago is the book you hold in your hands today. I hope this small body of work goes on to prove worthy of your expectations and also of all the effort that went into it. Because, behind the scenes, there is a rather interesting story to relate—about its backdrop, intertwined with a small slice of modern PoE history, punctuated by a rather res- tive search for our roots and our true heroes, one that takes us back almost two centuries

The author’s group has developed various chipless RFID tags and reader architectures at 2.45, 4–8, 24, and 60 GHz. These results were published extensively in the form of books, book chapters, refereed conference and journal articles, and finally, as patent applications. However, there is still room for improvement of chipless RFID sys- tems. In this book, we proposed advanced techniques of chipless RFID systems that supersede their predecessors in signal processing, tag design, and reader architecture.

Sensors are points ofcontact betweenthe material world ofatoms, mass, andenergy and the seemingly immaterial world of information, computation, and cognition. Linking these two domains more tightly yields all sorts of practical benefits, such as improvedinputdevicesforcomputers,moreeffectivemedicaldevices(implantedor worn), more precise agricultural operations, better monitored buildings or bridges, more secure payment systems, and more reliable sensor–actuator control systems. There are many settings in which tighter coupling between digital and physical planes can enhance safety, security, performance, and reliability.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is witnessing a recent explosion of development in both industry and academia. A number of applications include supply chain management, electronic payments, RFID passports, environmental monitoring and control, office access control, intelligent labels, target detection and tracking, port management, food production control, animal identification, and so on. RFID is also an indispensable foundation to realize the pervasive computing paradigm—“Internet of things.” It is strongly believed that many more scenarios will be identified when the principles of RFID are thoroughly understood, cheap components available, and when RFID security is guaranteed.

With the continued growth in the world's population, there is a need to ensure availability of enough food to feed everyone. Advances in science and technology have helped not only to increase food production, but also to reduce food wastage. However, the latter has the potential to be improved to a significant extent through appropriate matching of supply and demand, and with proper handling during storage and transit. Given the amount of food wastage that occurs after a food item leaves the “farm” on its way to the “fork,” and the availability of means to reduce such wastage, there really is no excuse for feigned ignorance.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is gaining in popularity, especially as we find ourselves in this communications age and headed towards a ubiquitous computing world. Automatic identification systems become an important aspect not just in today’s technology but also as part of our daily life. We need RFID in our cars, transportation systems, access points, and even simple transactions; we also acknowledge the need for RFID in our logistics systems, healthcare, and tracking and locating applications.

I wrote this book so that students, hobbyists, and engineers alike can take advantage of the Arduino platform by creating several projects that will teach them about the engineering process. I also wanted to guide the reader through introductory projects so that they could get a firm grasp on the Arduino Language, and how to incorporate several pieces of hardware to make their own projects. This book offers so much information on the Arduino, not just the basic LED projects but it offers different peripherals such as Ultrasonic sensor, the Xbox® controller, Bluetooth, and much more. This book also teaches the non-engineer to follow a process that will help them in future project (not just Arduino projects).

Despite the development of a now vast body of knowledge known as modern control theory, and despite some spectacular applications of this theory to practical situations, it is quite clear that much of the theory has yet to find application, and many practical control problems have yet to find a theory which will successfully deal with them. No book of course can remedy the situation at this time. But the aim of this book is to construct one of many bridges that are still required for the student and practicing control engineer between the familiar classical control results and those of modern control theory.
