Thanks to miniaturization of the sensors as well as developments in the realm of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), the wireless technologies are becoming integral to a number of applications, including environmental monitoring. This paper presents the design and implementation of ZigBee enabled wireless data acquisition system for monitoring of temperature, relative humidity and illuminance. The presented system collects the signals of a number of sensors using the National Instruments' gateway and WSN modules. Finally system interface is designed on the graphical programming software platform. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents approaches for modelling the characteristics of integrated sensors. The methodology can be applicable to data flow graphical programming tools as Simulink, schematic capture and simulation applications as Multisim and hardware description languages such as Verilog. The proposed models are running on different technical computing environments as Cadence Verilog-A, MathWorks MATLAB® & Simulink® and National Instruments Multisim™. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Air conditioning in buildings is vital for people who spend much of the day indoors. The climate control industry views indoor air quality as a measure of temperature, humidity, and amount of volatile organic compounds. This paper introduces the concept of a Wi-Fi based measurement system that is tiny and low cost and works on battery power. Sensors for measurement of temperature, humidity, absolute pressure and air quality are mounted on the board. The node is able to read sensors and send data to the network by using an IP-based application protocol. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper includes investigations of power losses in off-chip and on-chip filter inductors in monolithic dc-dc converter designed on CMOS 0.35 µm technology. Chip coils of the company Murata are used for off-chip inductors. For the extraction of the model's parameters of integrated inductors of CMOS 0.35 µm process is used one of the Cadence tools named "Virtuoso Passive Component Designer". Comparison between power losses in off-chip and on-chip inductors is made. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
