Wireless sensor networks -1

From this post onwards I will be giving some basic information on wireless sensor networks (WSN).

WSNs are formed using a group of network elements called motes, wherein each mote consists of a microcontroller,sensor and a transceiver. These find application in sensing temperature,pressure or any other elements in areas where it is not feasible to use wired connections or frequent human intervention.

Some of the mote images are as shown below.

The motes are of very small size and consume very low power . Hence, can be used for extended periods of time with frequent human intervention.

Next post: Research undertaken in this field.

Present political scenario in my state.

This post is written following the pain due to the pathetic (and corrupt) political scenario in the state of Karnataka.

The Governor, notwithstanding the corruption done by the CM, issued for his prosecution. What followed is a never to forget situation.
The party leaders called for a sudden forced Bandh, leaving many people,students and patients stranded or even lost and many properties burnt.
The next day Mr. CM, thanked the people of Karnataka for that bandh. how ironical, don't they have anything called shame!!

Wonder how long this continues!!

My first blog [:)]

This is my first blog(which, of course, is evident from the title).

I'll mainly be writing about technical things and my real life experiences(two completely different things!!).

Hope you guys will enjoy reading.... have fun.
