Internet of Things (IoTs) : Definition & Its Applications


'Internet of Things' is abbreviated as IoT. For example, we can connect all sensors in a building (such as fire alarms and temperature sensors) and control them remotely from anywhere in the globe. We can, on the other hand, use it to create a smart city. In a logistic system, we may use it to cut down on unnecessary costs and keep things running smoothly.

We'll now discuss how to connect those gadgets to the internet. Cloud services are required for this. The IoT devices should then be connected to the cloud server. You may also operate those IoT devices through a website or an app (as per your need). Your website or app will, however, communicate with the cloud, and all operations will take place on the cloud server. To connect your IoT devices to the internet, you can utilize Amazon Web Services (AWS). The author is not advocating Amazon AWS services in this article. If you can afford it, go for it.


What are the functions of IoT devices?

The major goal of deploying IoT devices is to bring large-scale automation into our daily lives. This will also lower human affords while boosting the economy. It will be used for monitoring 24*7 at a low cost. It will also create new job opportunities as demand grows every day.


How can the Internet of Things (IoT) help to revolutionize our society?

Sensors, robotics, and machineries connected to the internet, V2V (vehicle to vehicle) communication, V2I (vehicle to infrastructure) communication, and M2M (machine to machine) communication have all been major concerns for many years. Although these devices consume less data, it is critical to maintain ultra-low latency in order to connect with all IoT devices (nodes) in real time. Due to its large bandwidth resource, modern 5G technology or millimeter wave band has the potential to handle thousands of devices per square kilometer simultaneously and smoothly. The extremely high frequency band, on the other hand, satisfies the ultra-low latency condition as well.


In which areas may the Internet of Things be used to benefit society?


Agriculture

It can give real-time monitoring of crop growth and the requirement for crop harvesting. It may monitor the dryness of the soil, for example, and assist in watering the plants as needed, thanks to AI (artificial intelligence). It has the potential to make farming easier than it has ever been before.


Construction

In construction sites, AI (artificial intelligence) combined with IoT devices can be utilized for risk management, reducing construction site mishaps by adding an extra layer of security.


Education

IoT sensors can be used for energy management by installing IoTs in lights and taps.  It can also be utilised to create a safe and secure school or college atmosphere. With the use of AI, a student can select appropriate elective subjects based on their knowledge. Educational learning apps, on the other hand, can make decisions based on how subject knowledge is provided as well as inputs or feedback from students.


Fleet Management

In today's world, road safety is a hot topic. Every day, many lives are lost as a result of road accidents. We can monitor roadways 24*7, thanks to AI-enabled IoTs. If an accident occurs, or someone violates the speed limit, it will alert the response team immediately. In the same way, IoT sensors put on vehicles can aid fleet management. It has the potential to increase commercial vehicle safety and efficiency.


Healthcare

We all know how critical IoT devices are in the healthcare industry. Every second counts for a patient in this situation. The creation of cloud-based healthcare systems is an excellent notion for saving many lives. Patients, for example, can download healthcare apps to their smartphones based on their needs, and the app will monitor the patient's health state 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It will also automatically convey the message to nearby relatives or doctors.


Logistics

Without a question, a country's logistic system is its economic backbone. If it fails even slightly, we will see price hikes all around us. With an AI-enabled IoT-based logistic system, society can experience a revolution by decreasing unnecessary delays in the delivery process as well as reducing commodities waste.

 

Smart Cities and Spaces

As we move forward in time, we realize the importance of smart cities. This will aid in energy management, air pollution reduction, water management, traffic management, healthcare, parking, and natural disaster management, among other things.

Traffic Management

Traffic management in cities is essential; otherwise, there will be major traffic congestion in popular locations and completely empty streets elsewhere. This is partly dependent on the road's architecture and layout, however smart traffic signals can help. For example, traffic lights should adjust automatically based on traffic volume, with green lights lasting longer when there is more traffic and shorter when the streets are empty. Roads and bridges can also be fitted with sensors to monitor their condition and repair them if they show signs of wear and tear.

Definition of the Fourier Series

  1. Introduction Most of the phenomena studied in the domain of Engineering and Science are periodic in nature. For instance, current and voltage in an alternating current circuit. These periodic functions could be analyzed into their constituent components (fundamentals and harmonics) by a process called Fourier analysis. A Fourier series is an expansion of a periodic function into a sum of trigonometric functions. The Fourier series is an example of a trigonometric series, but not all trigonometric series are Fourier series. Fourier series is used to describe a periodic signal in terms of cosine and sine waves. In other words, it allows us to model any arbitrary periodic signal with a combination of sines and cosines.      Fig: Sine Wave       Fig: Triangular Wave    Fig: Sawtooth Wave      Fig: Square Wave   2.
