Analyse Power Consumption by Mobile Applications Using Fuzzy Clustering Approach
With the advancements in mobile technology and its utilization in every facet of life, mobile popularity has enhanced exponentially. The biggest constraint in the utility of mobile devices is that they are powered with batteries. Optimizing mobile’s size and weight is always the choice of designer, which led limited size and capacity of battery used in mobile phone. In this paper analysis of th...
متن کاملThe Measurement of Low Frequency Magnetic Field of Two Kinds of GSM900 Mobile Phone
Introduction: The use of mobile communication systems has dramatically increased over the past decade. Although many studies have been performed to determine the effect of radio frequency (RF) but less attention has been paid to the possible biological impact of exposure to extremely low frequency (ELF) components. The objective of this study is two folds. One is to design the ...
متن کاملSelf sufficient wireless transmitter powered by foot-pumped urine operating wearable MFC.
The first self-sufficient system, powered by a wearable energy generator based on microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology is introduced. MFCs made from compliant material were developed in the frame of a pair of socks, which was fed by urine via a manual gaiting pump. The simple and single loop cardiovascular fish circulatory system was used as the inspiration for the design of the manual pump. A ...
متن کاملThe Ability of GSM Mobile Phone Users in Detecting Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields and the Bioeffects of These Fields on their Vital Signs
Background & Aims: Since previous studies on complications resulting from exposure to electromagnetic fields emitted by mobile phones are based only on self- reported symptoms, this study was performed to find the capability of users in recognition of real/ sham microwave exposure and probable alterations of vital signs after microwave exposure. Methods: In a two- step screening, from 700 stude...
متن کاملAutonomous Sensor Node Powered by CM-Scale Benthic Microbial Fuel Cell and Low-Cost and Off-the-Shelf Components
Microbial fuel cells (MFC’s) are promising energy harvesters to constantly supply energy to sensors deployed in aquatic environments where solar, thermal and vibration sources are inadequate. In order to show the ready-to-use MFC potential as energy scavengers, this paper presents the association of a durable benthic MFC with a few dollars of commercially-available power management units (PMU’s...
