Blockchain to succeed IoT in Smart City – State of the art

Internet of things (IoT) refers to the concept of all digital technologies being able to connect and interoperate with each other, in order tosolve several problems that currently exist in the physical, economic and social fields of our daily lives. These problems may be the needfor automation to provide efficiency and high levels of accuracy, the need to provide several services or for visibility that will allowmanufactures to acquire feedback from their customers, wich will hence lead to tailoring of products to the specific needs of customers. IoTaims at providing a framework to integrate all objects, smart devices, machines, patients, consumers and several services into oneinterconnected network. In order to achieve these goals IoT will require to employ a vast array of technologies that will be able to sustainits high data traffic and processing power as seen by the number of devices connected estimated to be 50 billion by 2020. The modularapproach to IoT will require that each of these devices to be integrated with sensors such as GPS, RFID or scanner and connect themthrough the Internet using specific protocols for communication and data transfer. Blockchain (BC) technology refers to a distributedpublic ledger system that keeps records as a chain of interconnected blocks that start from a genesis block - first block to be added in thechain. BC technology aims at creating a decentralized trustless environment where transactions and data are not in the control of any thirdparty.

Air-Filled Substrate Integrated Waveguide for Smart Health Applications

@#Introduction: For “smart health” Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) is a promising component to construct a wearable microwave device. For its efficacy in wearable devices, minimizing signal losses in terms of return and transition losses in SIW is of paramount importance. To enhance its performance, this paper presents the characterization of air-filled SIW transition losses for the SIW microwave device. Method: To investigate the effect of transition length on losses, the full-wave analysis of an air-filled SIW with different lengths of the taper transition was presented. For the analysis, the linear taper is designed for the Roger RT/Duroid 6002 substrate and utilized in the Ka-band frequencies. Result: From the full-wave analysis results, the length of the transition taper can be reduced considerably while achieving a wide-bandwidth characteristic of return loss better than 20 GHz. The results also show that the transmission loss can be reliably reduced while reducing the size of the SIW component. Conclusion: The findings may contribute to the development of the compact design of wearable microwave devices having a comparable performance with the conventional waveguide.

IoT-Based Library Automation and Monitoring system: Developing an Implementation framework of Implementation / Sistema de automatización y monitoreo de bibliotecas basado en el internet de las cosas: Desarrollando un marco de implementación

Abstract Currently, the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and related topics such as Internet of Things (IoT) have an essential influence on all elements of human life. IoT as a prevalent phenomenon is transforming daily life by the usage of the smart features of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technologies. As IoT progresses, it has extended in size and dimension, improving many contexts of the society; such as, the traditional library system. This research proposes an implementation framework for employing the IoT in renovating the conventional library systems to become smart online library schemes. The IoT enables connectivity of a physical object (such as a book or other text typologies) with the real-time communication technology by using the RFID tags and tiny sensors. The continuous monitoring of books in real time and the tracking of labeled objects geographically are some desirable characteristics that result from the use of the IoT tags. These characteristics of IoT allow implementing an online library supply chain, integrating it with different types of technologies such as data bases, data gathering, and cloud systems. The Internet of Things can also provide a global linking of a huge number of libraries and universities in real time, all the time. It is concluded that the IoT-based library management systems will be a promising structure that can play a vital role in the human data organization and knowledge access by helping researchers, designers, and administrators in a more efficient and smarter manner.
