Abstract Printed devices fabricated using roll-to-roll (R2R) printing technology have been used in low-cost Internet of Things (IoTs), smart packaging and bio-chips. As the area of applications of printed devices broadens, arithmetic units in digital design need to be implemented. In this paper, we propose a stable 4-bit arithmetic logic unit (ALU) design using a minimum number of transistors that can overcome the limitations of printed devices. We propose the use of a 2:1 transmission gate (TG) multiplexer (MUX) structure and hybrid 16T full-adder to construct the ALU. New design methods are applied to reduce the number of inverter stages added to overcome the voltage degradation. Using this approach reduces the total number of transistors used in the design from 276 to 153, compared to the conventional design, with significant improvements in delay and power performance.

The increasing need for security in microcontrollers Security has long been a significant challenge in microcontroller applications(MCUs). Traditionally, many microcontroller systems did not have strong security measures against remote attacks as most of them are not connected to the Internet, and many microcontrollers are deemed to be cheap and simple. With the growth of IoT (Internet of Things), security in low cost microcontrollers moved toward the spotlight and the security requirements of these IoT devices are now just as critical as high-end systems due to:

The paper reports an Internet of Thing (IoT) based health monitoring and tracking system for soldiers. The proposed system can be mounted on the soldier’s body to track their health status and current location using GPS. These information will be transmitted to the control room through IoT. The proposed system comprise of tiny wearable physiological equipment’s, sensors, transmission modules. Hence, with the use of the proposed equipment, it is possible to implement a low cost mechanism to protect the valuable human life on the battlefield

<span>This paper presents a low-cost PV current-voltage or <em>I-V</em> curve tracer that has the Internet of Things (IoT) capability. Single ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC) is used to develop the <em>I-V</em> tracer, which is able to cope with rapidly changing irradiation conditions. The <em>I-V</em> tracer control software also has the ability to automatically adapt to the varying irradiation conditions. The performance of the <em>I-V</em> curve tracer is evaluated and verified using simulation and experimental tests.</span>

&lt;p&gt;Good water quality status in rivers and lakes is vital for both human well-being and biodiversity conservation and requires efficient monitoring and restoration strategies. This is reflected in an increasing number of International and National legislations which enforce water resources management and monitoring at a basin scale.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For this purpose, state-of-the-art monitoring schemes have been developed by using low-cost, technologically advanced sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure. Remote sensing offers also a good water monitoring alternative but is more appropriate for medium to large water bodies with less dynamic character in comparison to small scale, temporary rivers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recent technological advances in sensors technology, energy supply, telecommunication protocols and data handling, facilitate the use of automated monitoring stations, but still, deployment of extended networks with readily available data remains far from common practice. Installation and operational costs for the development of such monitoring networks are among the most commonly faced challenges.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The main aim of this effort is to present the development of a network of automatic monitoring stations that measure in near real time water level and physicochemical parameters in several Greek rivers. This infrastructure has been developed under the project &amp;#8220;Open ELIoT&amp;#8221; (Open Internet of Things infrastructure for online environmental services - https://www.openeliot.com/en/), which was funded by the Greek National Structural Funds. It includes a low cost and easy to produce hardware node, coupled with commercial sensors of industrial specifications, as well as an IoT data platform, elaborating and presenting data, based on open technologies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During its initial operation phase, the system has been deployed in sites with different hydrological regimes and various pressures to water quality, including (a) an urban Mediterranean stream (Pikrodafni stream), and (b) the urban part of a continental river running through an agricultural area (Lithaios stream).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Preliminary data on the continuous monitoring of sites (a) and (b) are presented here, reflecting the differences in pressures to the respective water bodies. Pikrodafni stream which is located close to the center of Athens &amp;#8211; Greece and receives a lot of pressure from urban waste, illustrates Dissolved Oxygen (DO) concentration with a heavily skewed distribution towards low values (mean value: 2.15 mg/l and median: 0.93 mg/l). On the contrary, in Lithaios stream, which is more affected by agricultural runoff, dissolved oxygen data approach a normal distribution (mean value: 6.93 mg/l and median: 7.03 mg/l). The 25&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; and 75&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; percentiles in Pikrodafni stream are: 0.1 mg/l and 3.47 mg/l respectively while in Lithaios stream are: 5.6 mg/l and 8.45 mg/l. The average water temperature is similar to both streams (18.8 oC in Pikrodafni and 16.2 oC in Lithaios). Therefore, the significant differences in DO concentrations between the two streams indicate the need for continuous monitoring of data that facilitates the identification of pressures and enables stakeholders to respond to pollution events in time.&lt;/p&gt;
