Sample Collection, Annotation, Archiving, Analysis and Distribution System (SCAAAD)
BackgroundCurrent data collection and archiving methods are time-consuming and error-prone. Field scientists and technicians must carry a wide variety of sampling devices that inherently lack the ability to communicate with each other - often relying on a pen-and-paper system of recording and annotation. Further, when they exit the field and return...

An Asymmetrical Wireless Communication Transceiver
BackgroundExisting solutions for short range wireless communications between a host device and a number of user devices (or sensor nodes) are characterized by the symmetrical designs of their transceiver capabilities. The digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms necessary for channel equalization, compensation and synchronization require a substantial...

An Embeddable Security Protocol to Address Vulnerabilities Inherent in Wireless Networks
Background:Wireless communication networks are now facing various risks of intrusion and attacks due to their lack of a physical association between the transmitter and legitimate receiver. The traditional methods to address these security issues are to use the higher layers of the OSI model which include conventional authentication and cryptographic...
