A GSM-Based Remote Controlled Poultry Feed Dispensing System Using DTMF
(2016) Ahmed, A.; Olaniyi, O. M.; Dogo, E. M.; James, E.
Poultry rearing for small scale and commercial farmers has made large contribution in food production. With the recent decline in contribution of livestock subsectors to the national economy, there is a need to device a means of making poultry farming convenient, attractive and maximize yield. Automated Feeding is considered very important in poultry production; however, many famers in the tropical regions practice subsistence farming and mostly employ manual poultry feeding. This paper presents the development of a GSM-based remote-control poultry feed dispensing system via Dual Tone Multi-frequency (DTMF) for intermittent control of poultry feed dispensing. Proper knowledge in this area by farmer will help in running effective production and increase yield in meat and egg to maximize profit. The system is multi state fully input dependent system whose change of state can be controlled by a remote control. The developed mechatronic system reduces manpower, saves time and operates efficiently with minimal human involvement in poultry feeding. The system demonstrated practical effort regarding the improvement in performance of existing solid feed dispensing for high yield with minimal human intervention
A Model for an Enterprise Automated RFID-Based Pay and Park System
(ceur-ws.org, 2016) Dogo, E. M.; Ahmed, A.; Adelakun, M. O.
Traffic management is one of the challenging problems in urban cities as vehicle owners look for where to park and queue to pay for rented car parks usually on an hourly basis. Therefore, the choice of a suitable, reliable and flexible architecture for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) based pay and park system readily comes to mind. It is assumed in this work that the parking lot is already known and secured by the vehicle owner in a closed car park; this paper therefore seeks to address and automate the billing system for enterprise car parks. To achieve this, a reliable and accurate enterprise star topology networked RFID based system, that computes the amount to be paid by a user which is calculated based on the time the user enters and exits the park, and the amount the park owner is charging at a particular point in time is proposed for the automated pay and park system. The system comprises of both software and hardware components integrated together. The developed prototype system is able to grant authorized users access to the park within 30ms after verification and open the barrier in 30ms whenever the emergency button is pressed for safety consideration.
Cross-Layer Integration Approach for Improving QoS for IPv6 Based VOIP
(iJET, 2014) Dogo, E. M.; Ahmed, A.; Olaniyi, O. M.
Voice over IP (VOIP) is today one of the most innovative IP based Communication Technologies in the Telecommunications industry. This has made it to enjoy a high degree of success in its application in small, medium and large scale enterprises, primarily to save cost as well as leveraging on its enhance functionalities such as mobility and scalability. Despite all its successes, VOIP still faces challenges with Quality of Service (QoS) degradation. This paper proposes a cross-layer model to effectively manage interactions in the data, network and transport layers guided by tradeoff between three performance metrics that affect QoS of VOIP for an improved QoS for Voice over IPv6 (VOIPv6). The parameters taken into consideration in this proposed model are: packet loss, delay and throughput observe by the end user.
Wireless sensor networks for remote healthcare monitoring in Nigeria: Challenges and way forward
(IEEE, 2013) Hassan, N. M.; Olaniyi, O. M.; Ahmed, A.; Dogo, E. M.
Wireless sensor networks have gained a lot interest in the field of medicine with a wide range of capabilities. In most developed countries wireless sensor networks are being used in monitoring critical illnesses such as Cancer detection, cardiovascular diseases, monitoring asthmatic patient and in the treatment of Diabetes. Wireless sensor networks have enabled medical doctors to monitor patients remotely and give them timely feedback and support; potentially increasing the reach of health care by making it available anywhere at any time The application of Wireless Sensor Networks for remote medical monitoring is relatively new in Nigeria. Recently the Nigerian government embarked on the use of e-health to meet the health requirements of its remote and rural dwellers. In this paper, we discuss some of the core challenges facing the application of wireless sensor networks for remote medical care monitoring in Nigeria, and how these challenges can hinder the application of Wireless Sensor Networks for remote healthcare in Nigeria.
