This work depicts the concept and methodology as well as the architecture and physical implementation of a low-cost Internet of Things (IoT) node for customized smart-applications. The presented node efficiently integrates state-of-the-art discrete electronic components able to support a variety of smart applications. The node comprises an ARM CortexM based microcontroller designed for low power wireless applications, a power management unit and several sensors for which special adapters have been implemented. The proposed IoT node is being validated in vineyard fields, in the framework of precision agriculture practice, with the aim of collecting critical environmental parameters, to be used as input to algorithmic models for the detection and subsequently prevention of related agricultural diseases.

Extraction of roads from high resolution satellite images has an important role in such tasks as urban planning, traffic management, navigation, map updating and etc. This paper presents an automatic method for roads extraction from satellite images. The proposed approach uses the method of edge segmentation on the bases of two-dimensional Markov chains. The original image is converted to the Lab color space, and the B component is used for edge detection. We use colour feature and threshold processing to separate the resulting segments into roads and backgrounds. To improve the quality of road extraction, the filtering by region size, skeletonization and morphological operations are used at the post-processing stage. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

The article considers the electronic system of non-destructive buildings and structures condition control. It allows providing the monitoring of structures condition by means of inertial measurement modules. The accumulation of data about linear and angular movement of structural elements is implemented without any reference to satellite signal and is not limited in time. The system is aimed at buildings, bridges, construction cranes, amusement rides, heat, gas, power supply facilities being introduced into service. The application of the system given helps to react fast on destructive changes in a structure, collect data on external influence on operated facilities and monitor their displacement.

Motion of heavy loads with hydraulic or electrical drive systems cause oscillations, which reduce the position accuracy and cause wear to the mechanical system. Input shaping of the control input signal can avoid the excitation of the resonant frequency. A common technique is to use a notch-filter that is tuned to suppress this frequency. In this work the possibility to synthesize a notch filter with an all-pass filter is used. Splitting the filter into two parts allows to control two separate inputs of a push/pull system, in the actual case a hydraulic system with individual meter-in and meter-out valves (or separate meter-in/meter-out, SMISMO). An additional design parameter allows to tune for specific property of the drive, in our case avoiding low pressure and reduce the danger of cavitation. Furthermore, it is demonstrated how to replace the all-pass filter with a simple time delay, which enables the processing on a low-cost embedded system without numeric processor. The results are demonstrated in simulation.

In the last years, there has been an advancement in technology, thus, new tools have become available for the study of marine sciences. Scientists and engineers have worked together to give a plethora of tools to help in marine sciences, either environment monitoring, statistical data or numeric models. We use different tools in marine sciences, such as ArcGIS for display and manipulation of geospatial data, R for statistical analysis, SPSS for statistical data. The addressed question is which one of these tools is the most suitable for use. This paper explores the most commonly used tools, the advantages and drawbacks of using them as well as their prospective challenges.

In this paper two clustering algorithms DBSCAN and CLARA were applied over the pedological database of Montenegro. Both algorithms clusterize data based on their density distribution. DBSCAN enables discovering clusters of arbitary shapes, without domain knowledge. On the other hand, CLARA forms clusters of approximatly equal size and shape for databases with uniformly spaced data. The used databases is composed of chemical and mechanical-physical parameters of soil samples. There are no clear transitions between different types of soil and large differences in values of their parameters at the boundary points of the clusters. Thus, CLARA is proved to be better for clustering pedologic data, which is confirmed by means of simulations. The results obtained by the CLARA are comparable with the results obtained by the analysis of soil in Montenegro by the expert.

The possibility of implementing an HTML user interface for a stand-alone microcontroller device is tested out. The wireless Wi-Fi ECG monitor is considered as an example. It's shown that the standard HTML-5 and Java-Script features, such as Canvas, Web-Socket and other, are quite enough to build a full-fledged user interface that is not attached to a specific hardware and software platform. Furthermore, any standard device (laptop, tablet, mobile phone, etc.) with a Web-browser can be used as a user terminal. The use of Web-based HTML interface radically simplifies the development of standalone medical applications.

Common contemporary ECG units are computer-based devices that can be connected to the computer network to enable simultaneous monitoring of several patients in, e.g., intensive care units. Typically, these devices are relatively large, heavy, and powered from the wall socket. As a result, the movement of a patient is limited, even in cases when the patient's physical condition does not bind him/her to the bed. This paper describes proof-of-concept portable device for electrocardiography which can measure three elemental ECG leads, is battery powered and transmits measured data into a central data collection unit via WiFi. Therefore, the patient can leave the bed for a reasonable distance, while the physician can continue monitoring the patient's health condition. It is easy to quickstart usage and mass production of the presented prototype. We have tested the hardware and developed the necessary software. The system is based on ADAS1000 from Analog Devices as an ECG analogue front-end. Measured data are processed by STM32L0 MCU and sent to the data collection unit using the ESP8266 WiFi module.
