In this paper, we propose an architecture and a scheme of smart hospital based on Internet of Things (IOT) in order to overcome the disadvantages of the present hospital information system, such as the fixed information point, inflexible networking mode and so on. The key technologies and construction of smart hospital is presented based on understanding of the connotation and architecture of s...

The fact that the information can be collected not only by the government and power companies but also individual users adds seriousness to the problem. In this paper examined this issue by focusing on the load management system based on BEMS that uses the privacy policy-based protection system in the smart grid environment. The structure of the privacy policy-based protection system using load...

Many electroactive functional materials have been used in smalland microscale transducers and precision mechatronic control systems for years. It was not until the mid-1980s that scientists started integrating electroactive materials with large-scale structures as in situ sensors and/or actuators, thus introducing the concept of smart materials, smart structures, and structronic systems. This p...

Smart sensor is information detection, information processing, information memory, logical thinking and judging function of sensor. It not only has the various functions of the traditional sensor, but also has the data processing, fault diagnosis, non linear processing, self correction and man-machine communication. BP (Back Propagation) neural network is a kind of error back propagation traini...

Text in camera based image carries important information for visual content understanding and retrieval. Locating text from complex background is a challenge task and complex structure of Chinese words make it harder. In this paper, we develop an application which is targeted toward smart phone with camera. Our goal is to enable the smart phone to detect Chinese words in nature scenes. First of...

This paper presents the results of international cooperative researches on smart wireless sensors and SHM of civil structures among KAIST, the University of Michigan, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. At first, the state-of-art in the smart wireless sensor technology is reviewed. The subsystems of a smart wireless sensor are discussed, and available wireless sensor platforms d...

Simulation is an important method to test and evaluate new control mechanisms for future Smart Grids. To generate sound simulation results one has to use validated and established simulation models. In this paper we present the first two out of six layers of our approach to a modular simulation framework, called mosaik. It will allows to specify, compose and simulate Smart Grid scenarios based ...

Dr. Rajit Gadh presented some major challenges and tech­ nologies required to make the US electric grid smart and more efficient, given that energy consumption is rapidly increasing and becoming more expensive. One critical issue is the inflexibility of the current grid system, whose structure assumes a unidirectional flow of power, control, and information. For instance, power generation has a...
