In 2010–2012, the hydrogeological model (HM) of Latvia (LAMO) was developed by the scientists of Riga Technical University (RTU). LAMO comprises geological and hydrogeological data provided by the Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Centre (LEGMC) for the active groundwater zone of Latvia. In 2013–2015, LAMO was notably upgraded. The number of HM layers and the density of hydrographica...

The objective of this study is to develop a data-driven prediction model and sensor calibration method in variable air volume (VAV) terminal unit systems. Based on the operational data VAV systems, indoor loads carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations were predicted, Bayesian markov chain monte carlo (MCMC)-based was used. used for analysis development collected using dynamic energy simulation tool,...

A remote terminal with graphical output capability has been designed for use with time-shared computer systems. The terminal contains a small computer to provide local picture storage and the ability to employ picture encoding techniques which greatly reduce transmission times. A storage oscilloscope is used to view the output. Terminal cost is currently about $10 000.

The method of sluice control applied to reservoir is executed manually in field at present. To fix this problem, sluice remote monitoring system based on GPRS and PLC is provided. Some advanced technologies used in system are discussed. The system structure and principle are introduced. The system realizes wireless network connections between local control unit and center control unit based on ...

Smart Home is one of emerging application domains of The Internet of Things. It minimizes user’s intervention in monitoring home settings and controlling home appliances. Mobile terminal has become an important part of Smart Home now. This paper presents an effective approach to solve the potential problems when using mobile terminal in Smart Home. In the smart home system, a kind of simple, ea...

Abstract. Based on the problems caused by current automatic irrigation system with a large number of cables, such as installation, maintenance, and difficult expansion, this paper proposed a wireless integrated irrigation control system and developed a wireless intelligent valve controller which can satisfy the requirements for agricultural irrigation in our country. The controller consisted o...

This article describes a simple electronic unit to obtain time-lapse recordings with the use of a common remote-controlled home video cassette recorder, for example a VHS recorder. The electronic unit is a timer to be connected to the remote-control unit. The video cassette recorder itself remains unchanged. Replay of the recorded images speeds up the original process by a factor of 2-100 x or ...
