Abstract: Interoperability of charging infrastructures is a key success factor for E-Mobility. Standards like ISO/IEC 15118 and IEC 61851-1 are developed to ensure base level interoperability of front-end communication and signaling processes for smart charging between electric vehicles and charge spots. With the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) a forum of European industry members also moves towards a common back-end protocol for charge spots intending to reduce and secure overall investment costs. However, in the current form OCPP lacks means for enabling grid services based on smart charging. In this paper the authors provide a review of today’s state of the art in ISO/IEC standardization of the V2G Interface and furthermore detail how OCPP could leverage existing standardization efforts for grid automation from IEC 61850 in order to overcome its shortcomings.

Application of NB-IoT in Intelligent Fire Protection System

Tianxiang Li and Ping Hou

School of Information and Communication, Guilin University of Electronic Technology, Guilin, China

NB-IoT refers to a cellular-based narrowband Internet of Things, which has become an important part of the Internet of Things. NB-IoT is a new technology emerging in the field of Internet of Things in recent years. It has obvious advantages in technology and application. In addition, the application of narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) technology in the field of fire protection can fundamentally enhance the combat capability of fire fighting forces, avoid fire and reduce the loss of life and property of the people. This thesis analyses and introduces an intelligent fire-fighting system based on the new industry standard, and a smoke-fire detection and alarm device based on the Internet of Things (IoT) platform and Nb-IoT technology. It also puts forward corresponding solutions to the problem of smart smoke, such as the value, advantages and future expectations of the solution.

The National Association of Architectural Metal Manufacturers (NAAMM) provides consensus products for specifications, procedures, and terminology for metal bar grating, expanded metal, hollow metal doors and frames, metal flagpoles, metal stairs and railings, and metal lathing and furring.   As an ANSI accredited standards developer it provides public commenting opportunities on its consensus products; linked below:

Non-Contact Heart Rate Monitoring in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit using RGB Camera

Non-Contact Heart Rate Monitoring in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit using RGB Camera

Quiong Chen, et. al

Center for Intelligent Medical Electronics, School of Information Science and Technology, Fudan University, Shanghai, China

Abstract:  Heart rate (HR) measurement is crucial for newborn infant monitoring in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The widely used contact HR measurement methods based on electrocardiography (ECG) and photoplethysmography (PPG) signals can lead to discomfort and possible skin irritation on neonates, which limit its application in NICU scenarios. In this work, we propose a non-contact HR monitoring method simply using a RGB camera. Eulerian video magnification (EVM) is employed to detect the subtle changes of neonatal faces results from blood circulation. The magnified signal is then transformed to the spectral domain to extract HR information. Compared with the widely investigated independent component analysis (ICA)-based HR measurement method using video recordings, the proposed method can achieve the real time HR measurement, which is a significant superiority in NICU neonatal monitoring. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to employ EVM algorithm in real time neonatal HR monitoring.

Church heating: Comparison of different strategies

N. Aste. et al

Department of Architecture, Built Environment and Construction Engineering, Politecnico di Milano

 

Abstract:  Church heating represents a challenging task because multiple goals have to be fulfilled simultaneously, such as the thermal comfort for the occupants and the optimal internal environmental conditions for the preservation of building components and artworks. In addition, current requirements for environmental and economic sustainability impose to make efforts to minimize the amount of energy needed and the consequent environmental/economic impact. In this context, the present work represents the assessment of the energy, environmental and economic impact of different strategies for church heating, including a novel technology based on the exploitation of renewable energies. The analysis was carried out in a real case-study building, represented by the Basilica di S. Maria di Collemaggio (L’Aquila, Italy), a church of worldwide relevance, currently under restoration.

“I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If the book we’re reading doesn’t wake us up with a blow to the head, what are we reading for? So that it will make us happy, as you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kind of books that make us happy are the kind we could write ourselves if we had to. But we need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. That is my belief.”
― Franz Kafka
