Medical adherence is a major concern globally and is increasing with improved access to medication. Unfortunately, patients taking multiple medications often struggle with confusion about when and how to take each medication. To address this issue, an inexpensive domestic device has been proposed to improve medication adherence. This device uses Wi-Fi and cellular Internet of…

Currently, the quality and quantity of product must be inspected before transporting. Currently the popular unsealing box product inspecting is performed by weighing the box where the errors occur according to the tolerance of the weighting machine and tolerance weight of the product. On the other hand, the quantity of product can be inspected automatically…

In the time past, virtually all the contemporary communication systems depend on distinct source and channel encoding schemes for data transmission. Irrespective of the recorded success of the distinct schemes, the new developed scheme known as joint source channel coding technique has proven to have technically outperformed the conventional schemes. The aim of the study…

Researchers have associated agriculture and food processing with adverse environmental impacts like; falls in the underground freshwater table, energy consumption, and high carbon emission. These factors have the worst effect on developing countries. Therefore, there is a need for on-demand food production techniques that require minimum resource utilization. For these reasons, scientists are now focusing…

In this work we discuss a special technique for powering of sensor systems, based on a low-power primary cell consisting of two electrodes, made from different metals, with water (lake, rain or tap water) used as an electrolyte. Once placed into an aqueous solution, the primary cell generates a small electric current, which may be…

Wireless sensor networks are an emerging technology that is used to monitor points or objects of interest in an area. Despite its many applications, this kind of network is often limited by the fact that it is difficult to provide energy to the nodes continuously, forcing the use of batteries, which restricts its operations. Network…
