For the starting of this year, American Soci-

ety of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) had

organized KNOWAFEST, one of the best

events of Mehran University of Engineering

and Technology (MUET). This event was

designed by active members of ASME soci-

ety and they succeeded to design it in an

efficient way.

This event was not only organized for en-

hancing the confidence and public speak-

ing level of the students but was also for

showing hidden talent of students of

MUET. There were many unique and differ-

ent sorts of competitions and interesting

activities in this event which captured the

eye of students for joining and partici-

pating in it. The event was managed very

sincerely and honestly by the members.

The members were very active and earnest

with their tasks, every element of this

event was well -planned.KNOWAFEST was

a platform to show talent by means of

competitions. There were three competi-

tions in this event, QUIZ, TABLEAU and

VIDEOGRAPHY competition. For each com-

petition, auditions were taken by ASME

members in the preceding days of event,

and selected deserved shining students

for competions as per their talent. The

event was hosted very smartly by mean of

time. The uniqueness of this event was Live

Singing Concert which has done by a very

popular local band, SIGNATURE BAND. The

appreciation of this band was seen when

the audience stood up from their seats and

started singing with them. This band won

the hearts of audience with its perfor-

mance and made their night joyful. This

event was of two days and most of the

students had pleasure to join this event.

KNOWAFEST was a bright way for future

events and event organizers. It was one of

the best events in the history of MUET.

Recently a new technology

has been introduced in the

world which claims to be

“The Fastest Internet Speed

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs)

Rapid enhancement in the field of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) leads a varie-

ty of applications such as: Smart Road Applications, Micro-Climate Monitoring and

Structural Monitoring. One amongst these is human healthcare which originates

the use of Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). A group from 10TL batch had

made their final year project on the concept of WBAN, which helps in providing

uninterrupted monitoring of patients so as to restrain the adverse health effects.

The rapid evolution in the field of Tele-medicine provoked us to work on WBANs.

The project aims to serve helpless population of remote areas and provide them a

novel system to save their lives. In WBANs, a number of sensors are deployed on

the human body in order to collect application specific data. The evolution of

WBANs has been able to provide breakthrough solution to provide ubiquitous

treatment of patients who are being monitored by their health specialists.

Fig 1 renders an idea that how sensors motes are deployed on human

body and how do they communicate. We have proposed the idea of

information exchange for the Intra-WBAN communication. Various

WBAN sensors are deployed on the human body to calculate pa-

rameters like ECG, body temperature, blood pressure, pulse rate etc.

Sensors are integrated as the Iris motes which would sense the differ-

ent vital signs, would collect and send this information to the base sta-

tion placed at the abdomen using Zig bee interface. Data from the

base station would be send to the laptop and from where it could be

relayed to any medical server.

Iris Motes

Future work :

Above research work is about the efficient topological behaviour de-

sirable to ensure reliability, link quality and efficient power utilization.

Along with this, the integration of the health sensors with the iris

mote is to open the new paradigm for the integrating techniques of

sensors. Future WBANs design include concentrating on the number

of areas including the hardware and protocol design.

Achievements :

Their project has been awarded 1st prize in Poster Session during “1st International Conference on Wireless Sensor Networks for De-veloping Countries 2013”, held at MUET Jamshoro, Pakistan.

Selected as one of Top 5 ideas presented in Student Poster Con-

test of “IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC 2013)”, held in 20-23 October at San Jose, California, USA.

Recently a new technology has been

introduced in the world which claims

to be “The Fastest Internet Speed"

ever which can hit 1.4 terabits per

second. A French company Alcatel

lucent and researchers of British tele-

communications (BT) had start work-

ing on it.

Making:- The trail was carried out using ex-

isting fiber optic cable over an area

of 410.383km, specifically between

Ipswich and Central London. Re-

searchers used new flexi grid Infra-

structure to increase the gaps be-

tween several transmission chan-

nels. It allows multiple signals to be

laid over the top of one another

within entire cable. By using flexi

grid an “Alien super channel “was

created which is comprised of sev-

en 200 Gb/s parallel channels, this

boost up transmission efficiency by

42.5% over available broadband

networks. The most exciting spe-

cialty of this connection is that it

doesn’t need any expensive up-

grade it can be done with existing

optic fiber cables by only using flexi

grid.

Applications:-

It is very fast which is out of our

imaginations.

44 HD movies can be download-

ed in a single second.

Download 36,409 songs within a

single second.

The entire English version of

Wikipedia would take just 0.006

seconds.

Google Glass is also known as a

“Wearable Computer”. Designed and

shaped as simple eye glasses. It has a

small optical head-mounted display on

the side of the glass. A screen appears

in-front of the eye, there is a camera

fitted on the outer corner of the glass

and touch pad on the side stick.

Figure 1: Google Glass

Along with Google, Babak Parviz (an

electrical engineer) led the project

Glass. They were the ones who

brought up the idea of these glasses,

which made a bombastic evolution in

our world.

It was first introduced in 2011 and up-

till now, a few changes have been

made in it. It is simple, slim, small and

light in weight.

Google glasses are known for its quali-

ties, which are:

It has android 4.0.4

Camera of 5-mega Pixel

Video Recorder

Wi-Fi (Internet Browser)

Storage of 16 GB

RAM 682 MB

Bone Conduction an Audio Trans-

coder etc.

These Google Glass have enormous

advantages. It can take pictures, record

videos hand free. It can share whatev-

er you see live. It connects one to the

social media such as Facebook, Twitter

and Gmail and can also provide a direc-

tion of a place. It translates your voice

in any other language. This is a device

with gigantic advantages.

These glasses can be activated with

either the command ‘Ok Glass’ or by a

gesture of hands made by the wearer.

Once the glasses get activated, they

wait for further commands, for exam-

ple: If the wearer wants to take a pic-

ture, he commands ‘Take a picture’

and it will instantaneously take a pic-

ture. Likewise for video recording just

command ‘Record Video’ and it

will start recording the video.

Google Glass is a wearable

Smartphone; it has intended to

make everyday life much easier.

Time Magazine gave Google Glass

a title of “Best Invention of the

Year 2012”.

Progress:-

After the success of field test Re-

searchers thought that it could be

helpful for consumer and business

demand for increased bandwidth.

Optical marketing leader of Alcatel-

lucent Kevin told BBC news that this

development was similar to in-

crease the amount of lanes availa-

ble to network traffic during rush

hour. Unfortunately this mega

speed is under process and would

take some years to be implemented

so that it can meet consumer and

business demand. A lot of benefits

are being expected from this devel-

opment. Hopefully this technology

will be implemented in UK by 2017.
