Health is one of the most precious aspects of every person's life. Whether we're talking about a well-functioning heart, nervous system, respiratory system, or simply body weight, each of these branches contributes to a person's overall health. It is important to monitor certain body functions and characteristics as often as possible so that we can...
The artificial intelligence domain is currently evolving at a prominent level. Imitating the human brain is one of the most challenging tasks for computer science engineers, especially for the automation engineers whose purpose is to find efficient solutions for contemporary problems. It is well known that music has a major influence in the everyda...
The human body is not able to detect whether the air is polluted or not, which is why it is important to have a device that can measure the air quality, both in the closed environment and in nature. Thus, air pollution is defined as a harmful phenomenon to the ecological system and to the normal conditions of human existence and development when ce...
Airports operate under high demands and strive to satisfy many diverse, interrelated performance goals. Airport areas, such as security and safety also refer to detecting hazardous materials inside passengers' luggage. This topic is independent to the size of the airport and presents a high importance. The detection of threat objects using X-ray lu...
The human-computer interaction became an instrument of maximum importance in bringing the idea that the link between a user and a computer should look more and more like one between two human beings. Later becoming available for the common consumers, the idea attracted many additional fields. Human-computer interaction is now defined as a sum of ot...
The monitoring, control, and automation of the house became possible due to the advanced technology and the objects connected via the Internet (IoT). Home automation comes as a novelty for all those passionate about innovation and technology, allowing control of the different systems implemented.
Another great utility and support for home automatio...
Being in the speed century, people around the
world are busy schedule every day and therefore, it is
impossible to spend enough time with the elderly and people with
disabilities, or people who have a chronic illness. These persons
need a lot more attention and care because they cannot cope with

person severe health menace after an accident is the unavailability
of first aid, due to the delay in informing about the accident. Thus,
in the case of incidents involving vehicle accidents or falls,
response time is crucial for the...
In this paper, a solution for temperature modeling and control in a tunnel heat-treatment furnace, used in metallurgy, is presented. The mathematical model of the heating technological process associated to the furnace is expressed using a system of ordinary differential equations and it is determined through analytical modeling. Based on the obtai...
Mobile phones have been present in our lives for over 20 years during which they have become indispensable. Due to the hardware and software characteristics of the smartphones, these devices are suitable to work as terminals for accident guidance and reporting system. The goal of the paper is to present the design and implementation of such a syste...
There are many situations which request a tracking and localization system. Some examples are car/persons tracking and localization in case of accidents or disasters. Due to the hardware and software characteristics of the smartphones, these devices are suitable to work as terminals for such a system. The goal of the paper is to present the design...
