    An Improved GSM Technology-Based Microcontroller Multi-Sensor Home Security and Monitoring System
    (International Engineering Conference (IEC), School of Engineering and Engineering Technology (SEET), 2015) Oyewobi S. Stephen; M. Okwori; E. U. Mpkuma; W. M. Audu
    With increasing rate of crime all over the world, and with no pointer to this rate of crime abating anytime soon, home security has now become a major concern. Therefore most people; rich or poor are taking measures from highly sophisticated to very crude methods to prevent intrusion. This work presents a GSM technology-based home security and monitoring system. However, unlike the traditional magnetic switch alarms equipped on doors and windows, this system has incorporated a fire detector, a motion sensor and a moisture (rainfall) sensor. On any attempt of a break in, rainfall or possible smoke or fire a short message service (SMS) is sent to the house owner. The system is built using a programmed microcontroller interfaced with mobile phone (NOKIA 1209) such that the three major buttons of the mobile phone are switched at intervals to send a message to the owner of the house anytime there is an intruder, rainfall or fire accident. The system was tested and it worked on attempt of intrusion, rainfall (water) and smoke.

    Design of a Simple and Low-Cost Microcontroller Based Medicare Device for Heart Beat Monitoring
    (IEEE, 2013) Dogo, E. M.; Sado, F.; Adah, S. M.
    Heart beat monitoring is vital to ensuring healthiness of the human cardiovascular system, but availability of a simple and low-cost heart beat monitoring device that does not require expert medical personnel to handle still remains a challenge especially in rural and semi urban areas of developing countries like Nigeria. This paper describes the design and implementation of a simple, reliable, accurate and cost effective microcontroller based heart beat monitoring device with Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and voice outputs. The heart rate of the subject is measured from the fingertip using optical sensors and the rate is then displayed on a text based LCD and voice outputs in English language and two Nigerian indigenous languages (Hausa and Yoruba).
