Wearable technology holds great promise in revolutionising healthcare delivery. The benefits can also be seen in medical education and delivering healthcare in remote places. We report the use of Google Glass technology as a teaching tool in broadcasting a procedure onto a mobile phone as a viewer, replacing expensive and often cumbersome existing equipment.

Enclosed cab filtration systems are typically used on mobile mining equipment to reduce miners' exposure to airborne dust generated during mining operations. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Office of Mine Safety and Health Research (OMSHR) has recently worked with a mining equipment manufacturer to examine a new cab filtration system design for underground indu...

Over the past decade, a substantial effort has been made to improve the air quality inside enclosed cabs of both underground and surface mobile mining equipment to reduce respirable dust exposures by the equipment operators. As part of this effort, the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, (NIOSH) completed a comprehensive laboratory study that determined the significant f...

The usage of mobile equipment like PDAs, mobile phones, Tablet PCs or laptops is already common in our current information society. Typically, mobile information systems work in a context dependent (e.g. location dependent) manner which means that queries differ mostly only in some context-related predicates on the same set of relations. Considering this characteristics, query processing on mob...

Over the last decade the mobile industry spawned numerous wireless technologies and access systems with different capabilities that coexist forming a new era in the area of wireless technologies. The current trend is the facilitation and the combination of the capabilities of the different systems, and is introduced within the reconfigurability concept. The latter lies in the dynamic adaptation...

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...

Routing and multicasting in ad hoc networks is a matured research subject. Most of the proposed algorithms assume a physically flat network architecture with mobile hosts having homogeneous capability in terms of network resources and computing power. In practice however, this assumption often may not hold true since there exist various types of mobile hosts with different role, capacity, and m...

With the dramatic shift of internet use away from desktop and laptop PCs toward smartphones and tablets, protection thresholds for application, device and communication security have significantly lowered. Most attempts on reversing this situation by means of converting standard mobile devices into tamper-proof equipment have proven to leave ample space for vulnerability of mobile processes and...

Presently, the advanced computing capabilities of information communication hardware and equipment far exceed the ability of software that utilizes these features. Mobile phones have extraordinary features for multimedia and communications and are the prime example of current software limitations. The multimedia usage of mobile phones is limited in its speed because of the computations requirem...
