RFID APPLICATIONS
Design of an RFID system RFID based metro-pass RFID augmented photo album RFID based exam hall supervision RFID based smart-home for elderly care
WI-FI COVERAGE IN TORONTO Toronto down-town gets Wi-Fi
coverage How to make use of this for
revenue generation? Parking control using Wi-Fi Traffic info-management using Wi-Fi Inexpensive VOIP phone using Wi-Fi Energy meters using Wi-Fi Special purpose opportunistic
networks
LOW-COST AD-HOC WIRELESS NETWORKS
eZ430-RF2500 Development Kit ($49)
WIRELESS PULSE RATE MONITOR FOR TREADMILL
SMART WIRELESS UTILITY METER
The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) is calling for:§ 800,000 smart meters to be installed by December 31, 2007 and
§ The installation of smart meters for all Ontario customers by December 31, 2010.
Ontario will be the first, full-scale smart meter system in North America. There are several smart meter pilots running in Ontario now. Hydro Ottawa has started conducting its pilots last spring.
Past students who worked on this are now with Hydro One
WIRELESS POWER SYSTEM CONTROL
Distributed power generation and micro grids have drastically transformed the electric power grid management and control
Communications play major role in power system management
Design of a wireless communication scheme for power system control
WIRELESS HOME ALARM SYSTEM
A thief will first cut the telephone line before attempting a burglary
Most current systems will fail in this case
What about a system that uses wireless network for emergency contact when dead telephone line is detected
