Location of appropriate seats in seating areas of theaters remains a significant challenge that patrons of these enterprises face. There is therefore, the need for seat occupancy monitoring system to provide readily accessible seat occupancy information to clients and management of these halls. This paper presents the design and implementation of a low cost seat occupancy detection and display system which is capable of monitoring seat occupancy in halls efficiently.  The system uses capacitive seat sensors which is designed based on the loading mode technology. It detects the presence of a human occupant using a single electrode. Occupancy data is relayed to a WiFi-enabled microcontroller unit which processes the data and wirelessly transfers the processed data to a central base station over a local area network for graphical and numerical display. Commands are also transferred from the base station to the microcontroller units when needed. Theoretical and empirical results show that the system is able to achieve seat occupancy monitoring accurately, neatly and cost effectively.Keywords: Capacitive sensing, seat occupancy, sensor cluster, microstrip transmission line, Wi-Fi

A novel reconfigurable filter antenna with three ports for three dependent switchable states for impulse radio-ultrawideband (IR-UWB)/wireless local area network (WLAN)/worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) applications is presented in this paper. Three positive-intrinsic-negative diodes, controlled by direct current, are employed to realize frequency reconfiguration of one ultra-wideband state and two narrowband states (2.4 GHz and 3.5 GHz). The time domain characteristic of the proposed antenna in the ultra-wideband state is studied, because of the features of the IR-UWB system. The time domain analysis shows that the reconfigurable filtering antenna in the wideband state performs similarly to the original UWB antenna. The compact size, low cost, and expanded reconfigurable filtering features make it suitable for IR-UWB systems that are integrated with WLAN/WiMAX communications.

The unattended electromechanical equipments are widely distributed in the harsh environment, which makes it difficult to construct the monitoring system. Therefore, this paper proposes a solution of the remote monitoring system based on Internet, which applies the VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) technology in constructing the network. The network microprocessor STM32F107 is adopted to design a low-cost remote information terminal. The system software is designed based on B/S (Browser/Server) architecture by ASP (Active Server Page) technology, which implements SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) and pre-warning system for the unattended electromechanical equipments. The application shows that the system is stable, reliable and worth popularizing.

In the present study, an ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna has been proposed using coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed with dual-band-notch characteristics. Slot-loaded radiator and U-shaped CPW resonator are used for band rejection at 3.5 and 5–6 GHz respectively to reduce interference with existing World interoperability for microwave access and wireless local area network systems. With an extended operating band (measured at 10 dB return loss) the antenna operates successfully over the entire UWB range (3.1–10.6 GHz) with a form factor of 30 × 20 × 1.524 mm3 on a commercially low-cost FR-4 substrate. Experimental measurement results are presented in support of the simulated results for the proposed antenna for practical application. The antenna has been successfully fabricated and measured, showing broadband matched impedance and good omnidirectional radiation pattern throughout the operating bandwidth. Measured time-domain analysis for both the orientations, i.e. face-to-face and side-by-side, yields excellent performance in the open environment scenario. With fairly good and consistent monopole such as omnidirectional radiation patterns in H-plane and linear transmission responses, the proposed antenna is well suited to be integrated within portable devices.

Communication is very much important for every community and radio communication is one of the easiest and simple media to provide information. The project represents the full duplex communication mode of FM transceiver (Radio + Transmitter). This paper describes on how to build a short-range FM transmitter using microcontroller. The paper also describes on how to build a FM radio receiver using micro-controller. Through the FM transmitter we can transmit our voice and any audio signal while through the radio receiver listener can listen any FM broadcasting channel. This project is based on KTMicro IC KT0803K monolithic digital stereo FM transmitter and Phillips TEA5767 radio receiver module. The quality of transmission and radio reception can be improved by Digital Signal Processing and Intelligent Tuning System. The heart of this project is Arduino UNO micro-controller which controls slave devices by Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) communication. The transmitter and the receiver both supports digital tuning and Phase Locked Loop (PLL) concept is used for recovery of the signals. The transmitter of this digital FM transceiver can be used for making announcements in schools, colleges, industries, hospitals, and other places using a condenser mic amplifier circuit and share music with the FM listeners using audio input port of the FM transmitter module. The radio receiver of this transceiver is used for listening any local FM broadcasting channel. It can be also used in specialized application such as local area network. For the construction of the transceiver it requires some small and low cost external equipment’s.
