The promotion of the Internet of Things (IOT) in agriculture is an important symbol in the modern agricultural industry. It can efficiently lower the labor consumption and exert a positive impact on farmlands through wireless sensor networks. It can precisely acquire data on crops and the environment to achieve the scientific cultivation and management of the production equipment by means of automation, intelligence, and remote control and to advance the transformation of agricultural development in modern times. An intelligent system of high precision, which is based on the IOT, is formulated in this study. Such system applies Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) as its built-in gateway, with such carriers as Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz, Zigbee, Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Wi-Fi, and others, to establish wireless sensor networks and manage the agricultural production through remote control and intelligent management. The experiment suggests that the system can efficiently supervise and control the multiple environmental parameters and farmland equipment to meet the requirement of agricultural production.

Patients who has fecal incontinence suffer physical and mental painfulness because they can neither actively control any forms of defecation nor detect the state of intestinal contents. It is significantly meaningful to study artificial anus sphincter with "artificial sensory nerves". In this paper, reflective infrared (IR) sensor, with different responses to the solutes, can simulate the sensory nerves to detect intestinal contents to distinguish different solutes according to the voltage values of the different reflective responses to the IR of the solutes. The study meets the requirements as expected because the outcome shows that the voltage signals of different solution differ dramatically which can detect whether there are any intestinal contents and distinguish the states of them. It turns out to be an effective method that the reflective IR sensor can simulate the sensory nerves to sense intestinal contents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
