Review on Micro-climate Changer with Sensor Broadcasted Data
Review on Micro-climate Changer with Sensor Broadcasted Data Prof. Vikas Nandgaonkar, Prof.Prashant Dongare Pratap Madane, Priyanka Rasal,Aniket Shilimkar, Vaibhav Waghmode Abstract : micro-environment changer using sensor broadcasted data gives human centric context ( e.g indoor, outdoor, at home/in office, driving/walking)have been extensively researched, few attempts have studied from phones perspective(e.g. on table/sofa, in pocket/bag/hand). We refer to such immediate surroundings as micro-environment, usually several to a dozen of centimeters, around a phone In this study, we design and implement a micro environment sensing platform that automatically records sensor hints and characterize the micro-environment of Smartphone. The platform runs as a daemon process on Smartphone and provide finer-grained environment to upper layer applications via programming interface. micro-environment is unified framework converting the major cases of phone usage, placement , attitude. And interaction in practical uses with complicated user habits. As a long-term running middleware, considers both energy consumption and user friendship. We prototype micro-environm ent on Android OS. The preliminary results show that -environment changer using sensor broadcasted data achieves low energy cost, rapid system deployment, and competitive sensing accuracy. Keywordsââ¬â Sherlock, broadcasted data, Proximity Sensor, web sensing, micro -environment of smartphones. I. Introduction Now days the use of mobile phone is increasing rapidly According to the version of mobile different sensors are inbuilt. The Smartphone has many inbuilt sensors like GPS, Proximity, Accelerometer, Gyro scope, Magnetic etc. using this sensors we develop many applications for different purpose. In Smartphone sensors continuously broadcasted data. We will be developing various applications using that data for security as well as for saving the battery of mobile. Sherlock is a unified framework covering the major cases of phone usage, placement, attitude, and interaction in practical uses with complicated user habits. We prototype Sherlock on Android OS and systematically evaluate its performance with data collected. Sherlock achieves low energy cost, rapid system deployment, and competitive sensing accuracy. Sherlock runs as a daemon process. Most context-sensible applications are human-centric, recognizing contexts from users point of view e.g., indoor/outdoor[9] , at home/in office, driving/walking[2] .Such information provide services according to user situation. For example, if a mobile phone is in a bag or pocket, it is useless to light up the screen when a phone call is coming. In addition, if a phone is placed on a sofa rather than on a desk, it is better to turn-up ring volume to avoid missing calls. Given accurate micro-environment Information, a phone can adapt its behaviour automatically and properly. when a mobile phone detects if its user is holding it in hand for safety .[2] When a user enters a building, it is unnecessary to keep his phoneââ¬â¢sGPS[10] working to save energy. II. NTRODUCTION TO SMART PHONE Smartphone has open operating systems, such as Windows Mobile, Symbian, and Linux and scalable hard ware-software multi-function. Mobile phones and other wireless devices are becoming increasingly popular and that world expanded tremendously. [5]With the development of information technology, Smartphone have become the mainstream in the mobile market and have gradually occupied the market steadily. For getting new features traditional phones are replaced by Smart phones. Smartphone has several advantages over the traditional mobile phones: Keep full functionality of the traditional mobile phones (e.g. phone conversation, text message and so on). With the ability of plugging into the Internet . It is a kind of cell phone which includes personal information manager, schedule control, multimedia application and internet connection.[13] A Android features Reuse and replacement of components Integrated browser Optimized graphics Media support GSM Telephony Bluetooth, EDGE, 3G, and WiFi . III.ROPOSED SYSTEM A. System Overview: 1) Input: Microenvironment also known as a micro habitat, a very small, specific area in a habitat, distinguished from its immediate surroundings by factors such as the amount of incident light, the degree of moisture, and the range of temperatures. In our system there are different micro environments such as phone placement, pattern recognition, pressure on touch screen, [5] phone interaction etc. are sensing by sensors. 2) Processing: There are 3 steps Smart phone sensors Action listener Business Logic Smart phone which contains many built in sensors these sensors are Magnetic sensor, Camera and GPS, Pressure sensor, Proximity sensor etc. [2] These sensors sense the provided input environment and sends sensing data to Action listener which triggers actions. These actions are processing in Business Logic. Applications extract data from business logic and generate output according to applications[5]. 3) Output: From the input and processing blocks various applications will be generated such as No vibration and increasing ringtone volume, [7] Theft detection, womenââ¬â¢s security and Automatic call acceptance. B. System Architecture: Hardware layer is lower layer. It consists of all sensors which are used in Smartphone. There are different types of sensors like Accelerometer, Camera, [1][2] Proximity, Gyroscope etc.The sensor continuously broadcast the data and captures the mobile environment and gives captured data as input to upper layer i.e. middleware layer. According to the data received from the hardware layer it detects the behavior of the user and performs action accordingly.[7][15] There are two types of detection. Phone Placement:- [9] This detection detects the placement of the mobile. It detects where the mobile is placed in hand, in pocket, on desk etc. [11]Phone interaction detection:- This detection detects whether the user is interacting or not. The interaction can be receiving call,[3][6] browsing. Backing material detection:-This detection detects the backing material of the phone where it is placed. The material can be glass, wood, leather. pressersensor, gyroscope etc.à are behind these Smartphoneââ¬â¢s. Let us understand how each sensor works with respect to its operating principle. 1) Proximity Sensor: [4]The main function of this proximity sensor is to detect how close your Smartphoneââ¬â¢s screen is to your bod y. [9] When you use your Smartphone, it detects the position of ear with respect to screen and turn s off the light of screen and saves battery. Also proximity sensor stops the accidental touch, unwanted input during talk. [5] These sensors also detect the signal strength, interference sources and amplify or filter by use of Beam Forming Technique. Fig2: System Architecture[17] According to detection pattern output from the middleware layer is given as input to upper layer i.e. application layer. From the input the application layer performs the actions[13][14]. C. Sensors: [16] D. Introduction to Sensors: Since the beginning of race in mobile communication, a new model is being launched every day into the world with different features. These new features and specifications gain enough fame of users to survive in the competition of mobile technology. [10]Today different manufacturers like Samsung, Apple, Sony, HTC and many more manufactures of smart phones and became competitors. [13][11]One of the features that attract the mobile phone buyer is the smart work it does. Different types of sensors like accelerometer, ambient light sensor, GPS sensor, compass, proximity[11]. 2) GPS (Global Positioning System) sensor: GPS short form of Global Positioning System, originally developed and setup for military operations and was made available for everyone in 1980s by government[8]. 3) Ambient Light Sensor: This sensor optimizes the light of screen when it exposed to normal light with different intensity. [3] Ultimate function of ambient light sensor is to adjust the display brightness, which at the end saves the battery power and life too. 4) Accelerometer The main function of accelerometer rise to sense the changes in the orientation of[13][11] Smartphone with respect to datum and adjust the orientation to suits the viewing angle of operator. For example, when you are looking for web-page with increased width, you can get this landscape view from changing the orientation of phone to horizontal.[11][8] These features are then utilized to determine whether the phone is in motion. There are plenty of moving detection schemes that can successfully vibration patterns: 1) the phoneââ¬â¢s mechanical motion and 2) the acoustical features, which can be captured by embedded accelerometer and microphone, respectively. To this end, Sherlock extracts a series of lightweight features from acceleration/acoustic traces in both time and frequency domain, and classifies backing materials like leather chair, wood desk or glass table. 5) Gyros or Gyroscope: This function is to maintain and control the sensors This position, level or orientation based on the principle of angular momentum.[6] When Gyros used along with senses motion from six axes i.e. right, left, accelerometer up,à down, forward and backward. CONCLUSION In this paper we present the design, implementation and evaluation of Sherlock simple yet practical platform for micro-environment sensing for Smartphone via collaboration among built-in sensors.[11] The platform automatically collects sensor hints and characterizes the immediate surroundings of Smartphone at centimeter level accuracy, providing fine-grained environment in formation to upper layer application.

Dramatic devices in ââ¬ÅRomeo and Julietââ¬Â Essay
In this essay I will explain and show how Shakespeare makes the audience feel increasingly sympathetic towards Juliet in Act 3, Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet. This play is one of the most well known love stories in history. Shakespeareââ¬â¢s uses of dramatic devices cleverly create twists and tension throughout the entire play. Towards this climax Shakespeare uses the following events that build up to the scene. These are traditional/historical aspects of marriage and family loyalty; cross purposes (Romeos exit) dramatic irony and use of language. Before this scene there are several things that make us feel sympathetic. Juliet is 13 and is in the midst of all the action. She is helpless and Is unable to cope with it. This puts her under a lot of pressure. This makes us feel more sympathy as she has no comfort from her mother or farther Her relationship with her mother is very formal, she does this by addressing her mother ââ¬Å"mistressâ⬠or lady. This shows her relationship with her mother is unlike a normal relationship, but more like a respectful relationships, this makes us feel sympathetic towards her as she cannot explain or tell her things. Julietââ¬â¢s relationship with her nurse is more like a mother daughter relationship. Another reason to feel sympathetic towards Juliet is that her cousin Tybalt has been killed by her husband Romeo. This is a blow to Juliet as she slept with Romeo. I feel that this is a big factor to the build up towards act 3 scene 5. The traditional and historical aspects of this marriage and family loyalty also play a large role in the build up towards the climax. Juliet must abide by her parents rules in order to say in the house. This brings us onto the marriage, normally in this era in time, rich families arrange there childrenââ¬â¢s marriage so they can have more land and wealth. Juliet breaks this rule and marries Romeo. This makes us feel sympathetic as she has to hide the fact she has feelings towards Romeo. Just before this scene Romeo leaves for Verona; this makes us feel even more sympathetic towards her as she has lost her husband and has no idea of the day of his return. Shakespeare makes us feel sympathetic in this scene by making Juliet use ambiguous language like ââ¬Å"Madam, I am not well.â⬠This has two meanings ââ¬â sheââ¬â¢s either physically ill or love-sick (sheââ¬â¢s missing Romeo). This makes us sympathetic towards her as being ill is generally not a pleasant thing to experience. Shakespeare makes us feel increasingly sympathetic in this scene as Lady Capulet says ââ¬Å"Evermore weeping for your cousinââ¬â¢s death?â⬠This shows us Juliet is misunderstood by her family ââ¬â this plays a part in making us feel sorry for her along with the fact that she has just lost her cousin brutally. In Act 3 Scene 5, we feel sorry for Juliet as she says ââ¬Å"â⬠¦Till I behold him -dead- is my poor heart.â⬠The word ââ¬Ëpoorââ¬â¢ makes the readers obliged to feel sorry for her as it makes us feel she is suffering. This phrase is ambiguous ââ¬â it can mean she will never be satisfied until her holds the killer of her cousin dead, or will never be satisfied because her ââ¬Ëpoorââ¬â¢ heart is dead. We feel sympathetic as she is being continually misunderstood ââ¬â she does not want to hold the killer of her cousin dead, but her poor heart is dead because she misses Romeo. When Lady Capulet breaks the news of Julietââ¬â¢s marriage to Paris, and Juliet rejects this, her mother passes her onto her father ââ¬â like a burden or a ââ¬Ëbaggageââ¬â¢. We feel sympathy as she is not receiving love from her parents like weââ¬â¢d expect. We feel that she is neglected, unwanted and unloved. When Capulet is fuming over Julietââ¬â¢s refusal to marry the ââ¬Ëyoung and nobleââ¬â¢ Paris, he calls her a tallow face and other words meaning pale and tells her that if she does not go to church on Thursday morning to marry Paris, he will drag her to church, similar to how a criminal would be dragged through the streets for doing a crime. He also calls her a ââ¬Ëgreen-sicknessââ¬â¢, a ââ¬Ëtallow-faceââ¬â¢ and ââ¬Ëbaggageââ¬â¢. This makes us very sympathetic towards her as we donââ¬â¢t expect a father to drag his own daughter through the streets like a prisoner, and to call her spiteful names. Near to the end, the Nurse changes her mind and advises Juliet to marry Paris; ââ¬Å"I think it best you marriedâ⬠¦O, heââ¬â¢s a lovely gentleman!â⬠Juliet feels betrayed and feels like the Nurse is a traitor. This action from the Nurse makes Juliet feel very alone. We sympathise with her as we feel sorry for her being all alone, we want to do something but we are powerless. Overall I feel that this scene gives most impact and makes us makeà sympathetic towards Julietââ¬â¢s most in the entire play due to its twists, it is also the epicenter of the play as it gives most effects. The scene was shocking enough with Juliet being attacked by her father but when her nurse turned on her, this was the turning point in the entire play.

The Way Of Wealth By Benjamin Franklin - 980 Words
The Way to Wealth Benjamin Franklin is more than just a writer. He was a civic activist, printer, political theorist, and Founding Father of the United States, who was highly looked upon in the 1700s. Franklin has heard that ââ¬Å"Nothing gives an author so great pleasure, as to find his works respectfully quoted by others (n.p).â⬠His goal in the essay is to answer a question he has heard the public talk about. ââ¬Å"Must a man afford himself no leisure (n.p)?â⬠The essay resonates from the Almanac ââ¬Å"Poor Richardâ⬠by Saunders, it goes into detail about the multifarious paths a person questioning leisure time may have. Franklin takes the time to explore his mind and answer the publicââ¬â¢s question. He begins to answer by saying, ââ¬Å"Employ thy time well, if thou meanest to gain leisure; and, since thou art not sure of a minute, throw not away an hour (n.p).â⬠Although Franklinââ¬â¢s English may not be easily comprehended in the 21st century, he is trying to state that if you decide to take a break for free time, you may waste a few minutes deciding on what you would like to do; However, do not waste so many minutes that it turns into an hour of doing nothing. Franklin is wanting to get his readers to understand that time is very valuable and wasting time is highly detrimental to not only your health but to yourself financially.

Energy Efficiency and Sustaining Resources For the Future...
Energy Efficiency and Sustaining Resources For the Future Do Americans or human beings as a whole need to be more energy cautious? I think we need to become better educated and make knowledgeable decisions in how we use our energy and at what rate in which we use it. The brutal truth of the matter is that our resources of energy we are using are not going to last forever. In the United States we consumed 94,231 trillion Btu during 1997. The state of New York alone used 4.24% of that total energy, or about 4,000 trillion Btu of energy (ââ¬Å"How much?â⬠, Internet). We need to move away from the excessive use of energy, especially energy generated from fossil fuels. The main problem with fossil fuels is not that they are runningâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦Main Energy Goals: In the beginning of every good plan, you have goals, something to work towards. In my energy plan I work towards four main goals. The first goal that my energy plan contains is efficiency measures; one example being is the increase of fuel efficiency. This can be done by raising the miles per gallon standards, or encourage design models for cars that are more efficient in gasoline use. Another efficiency measure is the introduction of efficiency procedures people can take. Some examples: if they installed energy-efficient technologies, such as compact florescent light bulbs and efficient appliances. One other method is to provide tax incentives for efficient new buildings and equipment. If the government offered tax credits for the use of efficient equipment and building designs, this would bring immediate results in energy efficiency. One of the last ways I would like to introduce efficiency is by strengthening energy-efficient standards on appliances and residential living. The second of my four energy goals engages renewable energy. Wind power, when appropriately sited, can generate and provide massive amounts of clean energy. This would be beneficial to the decrease of fossil fuel use. Another source like, solar energy, can be implemented just about anywhere.
