Application of Convolutional Neural Network for Decoding of 12-Lead Electrocardiogram from a Frequency-Modulated Audio Stream (Sonified ECG).

Research of novel biosignal modalities with application to remote patient monitoring is a subject of state-of-the-art developments. This study is focused on sonified ECG modality, which can be transmitted as an acoustic wave and received by GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) microphones. Thus, the wireless connection between the patient module and the cloud server can be provided over an audio channel, such as a standard telephone call or audio message. Patients, especially the elderly or visually impaired, can benefit from ECG sonification because the wireless interface is readily available, facilitating the communication and transmission of secure ECG data from the patient monitoring device to the remote server. The aim of this study is to develop an AI-driven algorithm for 12-lead ECG sonification to support diagnostic reliability in the signal processing chain of the audio ECG stream. Our methods present the design of two algorithms: (1) a transformer (ECG-to-Audio) based on the frequency modulation (FM) of eight independent ECG leads in the very low frequency band (300-2700 Hz); and (2) a transformer (Audio-to-ECG) based on a four-layer 1D convolutional neural network (CNN) to decode the audio ECG stream (10 s @ 11 kHz) to the original eight-lead ECG (10 s @ 250 Hz). The CNN model is trained in unsupervised regression mode, searching for the minimum error between the transformed and original ECG signals. The results are reported using the PTB-XL 12-lead ECG database (21,837 recordings), split 50:50 for training and test. The quality of FM-modulated ECG audio is monitored by short-time Fourier transform, and examples are illustrated in this paper and supplementary audio files. The errors of the reconstructed ECG are estimated by a popular ECG diagnostic toolbox. They are substantially low in all ECG leads: amplitude error (quartile range RMSE = 3-7 μV, PRD = 2-5.2%), QRS detector (Se, PPV > 99.7%), P-QRS-T fiducial points' time deviation (<2 ms). Low errors generalized across diverse patients and arrhythmias are a testament to the efficacy of the developments. They support 12-lead ECG sonification as a wireless interface to provide reliable data for diagnostic measurements by automated tools or medical experts.

Drowsiness and Crash Detection Mobile Application for Vehicle’s Safety

Detecting road accidents promptly is crucial for minimizing casualties and property damage worldwide. The proposed system, comprising hardware and a mobile application, automatically identifies and reports accidents to emergency services. It also employs a facial recognition system to detect driver drowsiness, enhancing accident prevention measures. By leveraging sensor technologies, cellular networks, and advanced detection algorithms, the proposed system analyzes data from accelerometers, Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), and Global Positioning System (GPS) sensors. Originally designed for vehicles, it can be easily adapted for deployment in various settings such as factories and construction sites with minor adjustments. The system continuously monitors the driver's facial expressions and activities using sensors. When drowsiness is detected, it activates a buzzer, and in the event of a crash, it alerts the driver to prevent false alarms while simultaneously notifying the rescue center if a genuine crash has occurred. This integrated approach enhances safety and optimizes emergency response efforts. The Arduino microcontroller, equipped with an accelerometer, identifies sudden changes in motion like acceleration and rotation to assess impacts against predefined thresholds. Furthermore, GPS functionality accurately determines the vehicle's location at the time of the accident, while GSM enables seamless communication with rescue centers through notifications.

Typically, each nation has its own native sign language. This project will create a few essential and typical sentences and phrases in Bengali.

IoT based monitoring of distribution transformer

As transformer does not have any rotating parts hence it is called as static device, therefore it does not have mechanical losses, but internal stresses arose from abnormal system conditions like Over currents due to overloading on Transformer and short circuits, The faults can cause mechanical and thermal stresses inside the transformer winding and its connecting terminals. Thus transformer must be protected from above stresses. The aim of this project is to obtain real time data of transformer from remote places with the help of Internet of Things[ IOT] and then designing and implementing a Global system of Mobile communication [GSM] based technology to measure overvoltage, load current, and winding temperature. By measuring the condition of Transformer will help us to point out an any abnormalities before any serious damage that in turn leads to a greater credibility and significant cost savings

Data Dissemination Among Vehicles To Aid In Rendering Quick Emergency Services

Abstract Road traffic in metropolitan cities is increasing at enormous rates resulting in congestion. Vehicles rendering emergency services like ambulances, fire engines, law enforcement vehicles, etc., act as lifelines and should be looked into with the highest priorities on the road. Such emergency vehicles (EmVs / EVs) are seen stuck many times in traffic, especially during peak hours of the day. The vehicles that block the EmVs on the road are unaware of the arrival of the same. Hence this work proposes a system that uses a central server that receives the location of the EmV and shares it with the civilian vehicles around. This is achieved through pinpointed accuracy systems like the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS), Global Positioning System (GPS), and Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), etc., The objective here is to help the EmVs reach their target location earlier thus saving lives.

Remote Theft Alert With Car Engine Shutdown

The Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) and the Global Positioning System (GPS) are two innovative approaches to vehicle intrusion and theft control system design and development that are presented in this article. One of the unique components of the suggested system is its use of GSM technology. The vehicle's position is tracked using a GPS module called the Holux GR89, and analogue data is continually collected using Mercury switches. If there is an incursion, changes in the sensor readings will be noticed. The microcontroller continuously gathers sensor readings, and based on those readings, a decision is made regarding whether or not an intrusion has occurred. If an intrusion occurs, a message from a predefined set of messages is generated to the vehicle's owner, who then has the option to respond via SMS to lock the vehicle's gears or seize the engine from a distance. The vehicle's engine and gearbox are managed by a relay that interfaces with the microprocessor. A system prototype was constructed and evaluated. The outcomes were really promising and favourable.

EFFECT OF THICK VEGETATION COVER, BUILDING OBSTRUCTIONS, AND EARTH TERRAIN ON THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE GSM SIGNAL AT THE FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC ADO-EKITI

Wireless communication system performance is fundamentally constrained by the mobile radio channels such as the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM). The transmission path between the base transceiver station and the mobile station can range from line-of-sight to substantially obstructed environmental situations such as buildings, earth undulation valleys, and thick vegetation being the primary cause of poor network performance in and around the school perimeter. Mobile radio channels are incredibly unpredictable and do not provide simple analysis, in contrast to stationary and reliable wired channels. This research work, therefore, investigates the effect of thick vegetation cover, building obstructions, and earth terrain on the quality and performance of the GSM signal at the Federal Polytechnic Ado-Ekiti environs. A model for path loss (attenuation) is developed according to the Longley-Rice propagation model that forecasts the long-term median transmission loss over uneven terrain in comparison to the free-space transmission loss. The model was created for frequencies in the 20 MHz to 40 GHz range and path lengths in the 1 to 2,000 km range. The analysis of the results obtained shows that the path loss (attenuation) produced due to the effect of vegetation, building obstructions, and the earth undulation structures are quite significant. The solution of cell creation as a primary way of improving the quality of the GSM signal reception in the school perimeter without necessarily destroying the natural environment or demolishing any existing building is proposed.

Advancement of microcontroller-based fire suppression system for enhanced safety in sugar cane plantations

The occurrence of accidental fires in sugarcane plantations is a significant cause of pre-harvest loss in the sugar industry, particularly during arid seasons. This paper introduces the conceptualization and implementation of a microcontroller-based prototype system for mitigating accidental fires in sugar cane plantations. The proposed system encompasses two distinct subsystems: the field monitoring and the fire control unit. The Field monitoring system, deployed within the sugarcane field, assumes responsibility for fire detection via smoke detectors, infrared detectors, as well as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide detectors, which are accompanied by a fire extinguishing mechanism. Conversely, the fire control unit, installed at the fire brigade office, establishes wireless communication with the field monitoring system through the global system for mobile communication (GSM) network. Upon detecting a fire, the microcontroller promptly dispatches a fire alert to the fire brigade while simultaneously activating water pumps to suppress the fire until the brigade arrives to fully extinguish it. Furthermore, the fire control unit triggers the fire alarm and exhibits the global positioning system (GPS) coordinates of the burning field to facilitate precise localization. The proposed system uses the Arduino-Mega and Arduino- Leonardo microcontroller platforms and is programmed using the C++ programming language in Visual-Studio-Code software and the Arduino integrated development environment. Designed prototype can detect fires and alert the fire brigade in less than twenty seconds and activate water pumps in less than one second after fire detection.
