This paper presents low cost Inertial Navigation Module, using MEMS sensor and an simple onboard microcontroller data processing (Kalman filters, basic interpretation for data). GPS navigation solutions are investigated, but they encounter big issues in indoor environment. The basic problem is the weak signal power received from satellite in indoor location and therefore the increased error for...

one way to increase the shelf life of agriculture products is using of controlled atmosphere storages. in order to obtain the controlled gas components, an equipped cold store with cooling system and atmosphere controller system designed and constructed. the injection of co2, o2 and n2 were controlled automatically into the store by programable logic control (plc). the store was a laboratory re...

BACKGROUND Despite increasing practice of teledermatology in the U.S., teledermatology practice models and real-world challenges are rarely studied. METHODS The primary objective was to examine teledermatology practice models and shared challenges among teledermatologists in California, focusing on practice operations, reimbursement considerations, barriers to sustainability, and incentives. ...
