Smart Dust
Smart dust is a tiny electronic device designed to capture mountains of information about its surroundings while literally floating on air.
Securing underwater wireless communication networks
Underwater wireless communication is the wireless communication in which acoustic signals carry digital information through an underwater channel. Underwater wireless communication networks are constituted by sensors and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) that interact to perform specific applications such as underwater monitoring.
Wireless Integrated Network Sensors
Wireless Integrated Network Sensors provide a new monitoring and control capability for transportation, manufacturing, health care, environmental monitoring and safety and security. They combine sensing, signal processing, decision capability, and wireless networking capability in a compact, low power system.
Intelligent Transport System
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is the application of computers, communications and sensor technology to improve the efficiency or safety of surface transportation systems.ITS aims to transform surface transportation into an effectively managed, well integrated, universally available, customer-oriented and affordable system that ensures quick and safe movement of people and goods.
Carbon Nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes, long thin cylinders of carbon, were discovered in 1991 by Iijima. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of carbon which are members of the fullerene structural family, which also includes the spherical buckyballs.
Rapid Prototyping
The term “rapid prototyping(RP)” refers to a class of technologies that can automatically construct physical models from Computer-Aided Design (CAD) data. It is also called “Desktop Manufacturing or Freeform Fabrication”.
