Abstract: It is incredible how many programmable logic controls (PLCs) around us make our modern life possible and pleasant.Machines in our Homes heat and cool our air and water, as well as preserve and cook our food. This tutorial explains the importanceof PLCs, and describes how to choose component parts using the parametric tools on the Maxim's website.A similar version of this article was published February 29, 2012 in John Day's Automotive Electronic News.

At present, there is a strong worldwide push toward bringing fiber closer to indi- vidual Homes and businesses. Fiber-to-the-Home/Business (FTTH/B) or close to it networks are poised to become the next major success story for optical fiber com- munications. In fact, FTTH connections are currently experiencing double-digit or even higher growth rates, e.g., in the United States the annual growth rate was 112% between September 2006 and September 2007, and their presence can add value of U.S. $4,000–15,000 to the selling price of a home.

In 2001, Orange, a UK mobile network operator, announced the “Orange at Home” project, a smart house incorporating the latest technology wizardry built some 20 miles north of London. It was intended to be more than a mere showcase, with plans for real families to move in and live with the smart home. My then research establishment, the Digital World Research Centre at the University of Surrey, was commissioned to study how these families reacted to their new home, and to report lessons for the future development of smart Homes and smart home technologies.

In this research, we have designed, developed implemented a wireless sensor networks based smart home for safe, sound and secured living environment for any inhabitant especially elderly living alone. We have explored a methodology for the development of efficient electronic real time data processing system to recognize the behaviour of an elderly person. The ability to determine the wellness of an elderly person living alone in their own home using a robust, flexible and data driven artificially intelligent system has been investigated. A framework integrating temporal and spatial contextual information for determining the wellness of an elderly person has been modelled. A novel behaviour detection process based on the observed sensor data in performing essential daily activities has been designed and developed.
