In this paper, the authors try to give a reasonable, qualitative evaluation of IoT-driven eHealth from theoretical and practical viewpoints. They look at associated knowledge management issues and contributions of IoT to eHealth, along with requirements, benefits, limitations and entry barriers. Important attention is given to security and privacy issues. Finally, the conditions for business plans and accompanying value chains are realistically analyzed. The resulting implementation issues and required commitments are also discussed. The authors confirm that IoT-driven eHealth can happen and will happen; however, much more needs to be addressed to bring it back in sync with medical and general technological developments in an industrial state-of-the-art perspective and to recognize and get timely the benefits.","PeriodicalId":120331,"journal":{"name":"Int.

In this scheme, multiple gateways are introduced to 6LoWPAN and divide 6LoWPAN into multiple tree topologies. Anycast is used to construct a tree topology which is called an anycast tree and where a gateway works as a root. A node joins the anycast tree identified by the nearest gateway to acquire a unique address, and achieves communications with the Internet via the nearest gateway. Anycast trees are distributed around 6LoWPAN, so the depth of an anycast tree is substantially shortened and the routing path and latency are also reduced. Moreover, if a gateway fails, its descendants can communicate with the Internet via the nearest active gateway and update their addresses instead of reacquiring new addresses. The performance parameters of this scheme are evaluated, and the data results show that this scheme effectively shortens the routing latency.","PeriodicalId":120331,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

Using amplified signals, the relationship between the distance and the time delay for the radar were calculated for each case.

Examples of such electronic implant devices are, for instance, retinal prosthesis and brain implants. It brings great challenges in low power radio frequency (RF) and analog designs. This article presents a low power Gaussian frequency shift keying (GFSK) demodulator designed for Medical Implant Communications Service (MICS) band Receiver. This demodulator utilizes a novel structure that a wide IF range can be handled and presents the smallest Δf/f ratio in any published GFSK demodulators. In theory the demodulation method can be applied to any RF frequency. The demodulator draws 550uA from a 1 V power supply. A maximum data rate of 400 Kbits/s can be achieved within the 300 KHz channel bandwidth defined by MICS. A simulated signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 15.2dB at AWGN channel is obtained to achieve 10-3 bit error rate (BER). This demodulator is fabricated on 65-nm CMOS and occupies 0.12mm2 silicon area.","PeriodicalId":120331,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Interdiscip. Telecommun.

All these developments are related to both innovation excellence and customer experience, in every aspect of life, business and entertainment, and therefore of the news industry. One of the most important fights of these recent wars is raging between Google and the EU on the field of customers' experience and their privacy protection. The author argues that even the updated news gatekeeping model by ICTs influences should be mapped more precisely in every one of its traditional pillars, focusing on the consumer's data protection. Their potential exploitation by search engines and advertisement industries from one side and the privacy protection claims from international institutions from the other, indicate the need of new variables in the equation of the updated media gatekeeping model, as derived from global regulations on the issue. The reactions of the EU to the actions of Google indicate the momentum of wars in citizen–customer's experience, which is the most reliable key performance indicator in the e/m commerce sector. A convenience sample's data show that the policy adopted by the EU and the one applied by the global content industries would remap the audiences' preferences and therefore the news industries strategies.","PeriodicalId":120331,"journal":{"name":"Int.

In hyperspectral infrared sounders clouds decease the accuracy of the results, this is a big reason hyperspectral microwave are considered necessary. Hyperspectral measurements allow the user to determine the Earth's temperature with vertical resolution exceeding 1km (1093.61 yards). One of the objectives of Hyperspectral Microwave Atmospheric Sounder (HyMAS) is to develop a data system that will store and display the date received. PIC24 data stream will transfer 52 Data plus 16 H/K = 64 channels over Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) at 100 Hz to scan head computer. Serial Peripheral is a synchronous protocol that allows the master device communication with a slave device. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) will be used to display the data received. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) is a type of user interface that allows users to interact with electronic devices using images rather than text commands.
