This paper presents the design of an innovative system for the diagnosis and treatment of spine disorders, in particular, the scoliosis. The product consists in a mechatronic device that is able to measure in real time the instantaneous position of the human spine, facilitating a precise diagnosis as well as continuous monitoring for prevention and/or treatment of spine disorders.

Abstract Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) and Wilcoxon Research have developed a real-time on-board condition monitoring system for freight trains. The Office of Research and Development of the Federal Railroad Administration funded the development of the system. The system monitors bearings, wheels, trucks and brakes on freight trains in order to detect equipment defects and derailments. The objectives of the system are to improve railroad safety and operation efficiency through continuous monitoring of mechanical components on freight trains.

Since crimes pertaining to ATMs have been increasing in recent times, there is a crying need to look into the issue. There have been various systems to prevent the misuse of ATM cards or breaking open the ATM machine but there is a lack of a single system to secure the whole ATM from both physical and logical attacks. This paper proposes a two-module system that contains an RFID and finger-vein authentication module as an alternative to the conventional ATM cards and a Raspberry Pi module for continuous monitoring and automated control when the security of the ATM is at risk. This two-factor authentication and a real-time monitoring system provide better security than the previous techniques which make use of biometric authentication such as fingerprint and face recognition or CCTV cameras.

Along with the times, recently there have been found tool to facilitate human’s work. Electronics is one of technology to facilitate human’s work. One of human desire is being safe, so that people think to make a tool which can monitor the surrounding condition without being monitored with people’s own eyes. Public awareness of the underground water channels currently felt still very little so frequent floods. To avoid the flood disaster monitoring needs to be done to underground water channels.This tool is controlled via a web browser. for the components used in this monitoring system is the Raspberry Pi technology where the system can take pictures in real time with the help of Logitech C170 webcam camera. web browser and Raspberry Pi make everyone can control the devices around with using smartphone, laptop, computer and ipad. This research is expected to be able to help the users in knowing the blockage on water flow and monitored around in realtime.
