Prisoners are segregated in different wards. But it is the tendencies of a few bad elements to leave the barracks on the pretext of availing medical services, canteen services and telephone services etc., and going to some other barracks to receive or distribute prohibited articles. To overcome this situation, a system is proposed for the surveillance of the prisoners, using biometric sensors for monitoring purpose. This project overcomes the limitations of the existing systems of correctional facilities. In this proposed method the finger prints of the prisoners are taken as input and the other parameters that apply are the source and destination along with the time difference. Thus, the proposed system will make prisons more secure. This work provides more secure and efficient way to eliminate the wrong traversals and to inform the officials about it when this happens. The biometric sensor along with LED display, the alarm, RF receiver, RF transmitter is integrated with the PIC microcontroller. The fingerprint module takes the input and identifies the prisoner and then displays the details in the LED screen. Source controller RF and the destination RF interact, as soon as the prisoner checks in, the timer starts to function and counts until prisoner reaches. If the prisoner does not reach before the average time taken, then the alarm goes on and the official can know along with the prisoner ID on the screen. Thus the proposed system gives a better monitoring and control over the prisoners.

The leaf-footed bug Leptoglossus zonatus (Dallas) (Heteroptera: Coreidae) is an important pest in the Americas. However, no preference of colors, sexual behavior nor aggregation pheromone has been reported, which can be used for detection, monitoring, and control purposes. In the laboratory we tested the attractiveness of white, violet, blue, green, yellow, and orange color to nymphs and adults (mated and unmated) and found that most adults and nymphs were attracted to and remained longer on blue and green colored cards than the other colors tested. We found that couples may remain in copula ≈185 min and mate ≈20 times in a 60 d period with a similar number of matings during the scotophase and the photophase. Sexual behavior consists of six patterns: grooming, abdomen movement, antenna movement, antennation, mounting, and mating. In a Y-tube olfactometer, 80 and 62.5% of the adults tested were attracted to a hexane-extract of the volatiles released by 40 males and 40 females, respectively. This is the first report of the biological evidence of an aggregation pheromone in this bug.

The monitoring and control system based on CAN bus was designed in order to implement the data reliable transmission between all nodes in the control system of the vehicle-mounted rig. Firstly, the hardware structure of the monitoring system was designed in the paper, and two CAN network was built, which one CAN network used CANopen protocol and the other used J1939 protocol and CAN2.0B protocol, that it saved the resource of hardware and software. Secondly, all CAN protocols , program flow chart and software with Labview were designed in detail. The application results of the actual engineering showed that it realized the function of data transmission with each console and real-time monitoring.

This paper describes some air emissions measurements items coming from the application of the authorization decrees licensing IPPC Plants in Italy at national level in order to respect authorized monitoring and control procedures. New technical situations are analyzed as they occur in plants operation, after release of IPPC operational licensees, as in these Plants where pollution is now under control and where monitoring and reporting must be now properly developed. These items, on the other side, can give also new opportunities for research and development in order to find new methodologies and to develop new studies in order to reach results able to adopted appropriate measurements solutions. In air emissions measurements there is room for improvement by means of new techniques – as technologies and managerial procedures – that can help to solve these problems in order to support better application of IPPC permits.

Fundamental to all process monitoring and control is observability, the quality that the state of a system (e.g., a pipeline leaking or not leaking) is actually discernable from the measurements available. Here are four examples of how measurement issues obliterated productive monitoring. In one example a transient phase change in a process loop results in gross mis-measurement at one end. A second example illustrates that buying a flow meter does not always result in flow measurement. A third example shows a pipeline in which the readings at one end show absolutely no relationship to the other. The fourth example shows a pipeline that appears to be leaking at one end but fine at the other. The concept of observability provides some structure for thinking through these situations and developing solutions.

The U. S. Navy uses Rolls-Royce gas turbines for ship service power on the DDG-51 class destroyer and the CG-47 class cruiser. Both engines have duplex thermocouples (T/Cs) and redundant T/C harnesses for turbine temperature monitoring and control. One harness provides an average of all the installed T/Cs, while the other provides the full authority digital control (FADC) with an individual signal from each. The legacy FADC algorithm allows up to four T/Cs to be out of average on the individual harness. Any additional T/C failures will cause the control to ignore the entire individual harness and rely on the averaging harness alone. This logic has inadvertently led to multiple over-temp conditions and subsequent engine removals. A change to control logic has been developed that aims to prevent these over-temp scenarios and is currently being introduced to the fleet. This paper will discuss in depth the cause of the over-temp, the examination of the control logic and the correction that is designed to prevent it from recurring.

This book offers a social history of the tension between the state's often bumbling attempts to help and control, on one hand, and citizens' work to receive that help and reject control during disasters, on the other. Focusing on the Salem fire of 1914 and the Halifax explosion of 1917, it examines issues of power and politics that accompanied disaster citizenship during the Progressive Era that saw survivors develop networks of solidarity and obligation to help each other. The book is divided into three sections: the first is about individuals in the first hours and days of each of the Salem and Halifax disasters; the second explores how informal communities like families and neighborhoods responded to the disasters and to the state over the span of weeks and months; and the third section looks at how Salemites and Haligonians created formal, explicit political demands and institutions from the informal and implicit politics of disaster relief and aid. The last section also considers how churches and unions responded to the disasters and to the growth of the state.


As the use of robots in different fields has been increasing day by day in doing different types works. To make some complicated works easy in industrial areas, military purpose and in any places where human can’t go, the gesture controlled robot are used in which the motion of robot is dependent on the human hand. We are using the MPU6050 sensor which has 6-axis of motion tracking device in which accelerometer has 3-axis, gyroscope has the other 3-axis and it also has an additional feature like temperature sensor. Where the acceleration is a keyword of an Inertial Measurement Unit. Accelerometer meter is a device used to sense acceleration off gravity of directions like forward, backward, left and right. The movement of the robot has been controlled by the accelerometer. By which the information from RF Transmitter to the RF Receiver has been pass through wireless communication system. The other parts are control Arduino in which the code is dumped.


The aim of this project is to minimize the cause of death of military man and innocent people by gathering their secret informations . The Phantom bat act as spy because it looks similar like a bat. It is fixed with ESP 32 WIFI camera to monitor the activities of the enemies. This bat design does not create any doubt to the enemies we are watching. It flies using a BLDC motor. The BLDC motor help the bat to lift from the ground and allow it to fly in the sky by creating 3 flaps per second to the wings which is fixed with the body of the bat. The two servo motors are used to control altitude and direction. All the electronics components present in flight board are controlled by the Arduino pro micro which is connected with RF receiver. RF transmitter will act as a remote controller and control the operation of bat. Here mobile phone will act as a display for the camera which we used. This bat will play a major role in military to save life. In future it will work on its own by implementing Artificial Intelligence and does not need manual control for this bat.

Twenty-five years of experience has proven the high reliability of satellite communications. The creation of the International Maritime Satellite Organisation in 1979 opened the way for development of small satellite terminals for use by individual users. The recent order for a new generation of satellites to serve the needs of this 45-nation co-operative and development of the Standard-C system will enable it to provide a message/data service to small and low cost terminals by 1988. Standard-C will create new opportunities to remotely monitor and control processes regardless of distances from a central operations centre. It will permit those on duty to receive routine reports automatically at fixed intervals and/or when measurements fall outside pre-set limits. In the event of an abnormal situation developing it would be possible for the controller to interrogate the sensors at the site by ‘polling’ at any desired interval. This would enable a process to be continuously monitored and devices or systems remotely controlled as required. Because the satellites provide global coverage vast areas can be monitored and controlled independent of local telephone or microwave links. This may be particularly important in areas where individual sensor sites and their links may be vulnerable to disruption due to the possibility of flooding, landslides, earthquakes, etc. In addition, such a system could be used to control day to day operations of sluice gates, etc. in remote areas and thereby lead to improved water management techniques.

Personal computers (PCs) are a powerful resource in the EM Laboratory, both as a means of automating the monitoring and control of microscopes, and as a tool for quantifying the interpretation of data. Not only is a PC more versatile than a piece of dedicated data logging equipment, but it is also substantially cheaper. In this tutorial the practical principles of using a PC for these types of activities will be discussed.The PC can form the basis of a system to measure, display, record and store the many parameters which characterize the operational conditions of the EM. In this mode it is operating as a data logger. The necessary first step is to find a suitable source from which to measure each of the items of interest. It is usually possible to do this without having to make permanent corrections or modifications to the EM.
