WEEK 10

TITLE : RESEARCH ANOTHER JOURNAL

Activity:
As previous week, i have done several thesis to insert into my Literature Review. I have show to my supervisor about my research which is he agree with the thesis that i get. So, by this week , i have found another thesis that is related to my project.

Content:
Title of Article : Mobile based Home Automation using IoT
Author : Kumar Mandula, Ramu Parupalli, CH.A.S.Murty et al 

The project is using the Internet of Things and used a microcontroller based Arduino and a smart phone. The project is allowed the users to control the home system such as door, television, lamp, fan, and etc. with the smartphone remotely. The wireless system used in this project is a Bluetooth.  It is the one of small range of wireless system technology. It can only be used in the indoor environment. 

However, the use of Bluetooth wireless communication is limited to use in large range of communications since Bluetooth has a small range. Therefore, from this project, the Bluetooth will be upgraded to WiFi technology for this project. 

Conclusion:

From the journals that were discussed in this chapter, the ideas from the journals was combined and improved to fit this project needs. The limitations from the journals will be improved to develop the better project. The selection type of wireless communication system is very important to achieve the objective of the project.   

WEEK 9

TITILE : RESEARCH OF PREVIOUS JOURNAL

Activity : 

Research form the previous development related to project

Objective :

To identify what component used to make the project

To improvise the system used in previous journal

Title of Article : GSM based Gas Leakage Detection System

Authors : Ashish Shrivastava, Ratnesh Prabhakar, Rajeev Kumar and Rahul Verma

This project is using the microcontroller. MQ-6 is used for detect the gas leakage. The gas sensor MQ-6 will send the signal to the microcontroller, if the gas detected, the main power and gas supply will turn off by stepper motor. the buzzer will also turn on to alert the user, the status of the gas leak will display on LCD (Liquid crystal display and the user will received the warning SMS via GSM module. GSM module is required a sim card to send the SMS.

Title of Article : Gas Leak Detection, Monitoring and Prevention using Zigbee

Authors : Puran Gour and Bhausaheb Sonawane

This project is using ARM microcontroller. When the gas sensor (MQ-6) detect the gas leak, the signal will send to ARM microcontroller. The microcontroller will immediately turn on the buzzer and the exhaust fan will switch on so that the gases will send out. This project also has GPS receiver so user can be informed the location on LCD and PC of gas tanker. The Xbee is used for this project. Xbee is one of Zigbee’s family. It is the low-cost wireless network system.

WEEK 8

TITLE : FYP 1 BRIEFING

Activity:

As previous week, i have some meeting with my supervisor regarding on Chapter 2. Last week, it was a mid sem break so this week is about a meeting with a Dr.Imran once again with all the students that taking FYP1, This meeting was held in TTL1 with the all the coordinator that involve in FYP1,

Summary of the meeting :

1) In this meeting, Dr. Imran has brief about Literature Review and Methodology.

2) Literature Review :

It has to be at least 10 articles that related to the project that you want to do.

The thesis should be determines what is knownabout a subject,concept or problem.

Determines gaps,consistencies & inconsistencies about the product.

The purpose of Literature Review is to show that you haveread the work of other researchers in my particular area of product.

3) Methodology:

Methodology is divide into 2 which is Qualitative Research and Quantitave Research

Qualitative Research : Investigate the why and how of decision making, not just what, where,when.

Quantitative Research : To develop and employ mathematical models, theories and hypothesis pertaining to phenomena.

Methodology is focusing in Background Knowledge , Sample Preparation, and lastly Data Collection method which is consist of block diagram and flow chart.

WEEK 7

TITLE : MORE ABOUT PROJECT

Activity: 

Identify the objective of the project

Identify the significant of project.

Objective of project :

There are three main objectives to the project proposal which are:

i. To implement a gas and fire detection system with Arduino microprocessor for a premise.

ii. To incorporate safety features to control the environment during disaster.

iii. To integrate gas sensing system with IOT for remote sensing application.

Significant of Project :

To providing physical gas leak detection services, this project “IoT based Industrial Monitoring and Safety System’ provide users with fire and gas detectors for work. Gas leakage can cause serious fire crashes. Gas leak cannot be detected by humans quickly. Therefore with this project, it can help detect gas leaks quickly. Hence it also send information directly to users through applications on smartphones using the internet. With the monitoring system, the user can perform an initial step to prevent accidents from happening.
