The quality of life is influenced by the environment quality and one of the major factors that require a continuous monitoring is the level of radiation. This paper presents a microcontroller-based system designated for monitoring the release of subatomic high frequency particles in the gamma ray area. Unlike the related scientific literature, where experiments are based on desktop computers for data processing and remote transmission, this work presents an independent standalone microcontroller-based system which incorporates the standard internet protocols. The measurement data, as well as warning signals, are sent to the decision making factors via a communication channel (such as internet, mobile phone or radio amateur band). Some experimental results are also discussed in the paper.
The development of efficient flood alerting systems became more demanding in the last years. In this paper it is presented the first version of a prototype intelligent system for flood forecasting and real-time alerting. The system is implemented by using a microcontroller from the ARM family, Marvell 88F6281, and has a user interface realized under the Free UnixBSD operating system. Also, a knowledge base is integrated in the system. The real-time alert is sent to the decision making factors via a communication channel (such as, the internet, a mobile phone, or radio communication). Some experimental results obtained so far are also discussed in the paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
