A flowchart is a visual representation of the sequence of steps and decisions needed to perform a process. Each step in the sequence is noted within a diagram shape. Steps are linked by connecting lines and directional arrows. This allows anyone to view the flowchart and logically follow the process from beginning to end.
Common Flowchart Symbols
Different flow chart symbols have different meanings. The most common flow chart symbols are:
Terminator : An oval flow chart shape indicating the start or end of the process.
Process : A rectangular flow chart shape indicating a normal process flow steps.
Decision : A diamond flow chart shape indication a branch in the process flow.
Connector : A small, labeled, circular flow chart shape used to indicate a jump in the process flow. (Shown as the circle with the letter "A", below.)
Data : A parallelogram that indicates data input or output (I/O) for a process.
Document : Used to indicate a document or report (see image in sample flow chart below.)
A simple flow chart showing the symbols described above can be seen below:
BLOCK DIAGRAM
What is a Block Diagram?
A block diagram is a specialized, high-level flowchart used in engineering. It is used to design new systems or to describe and improve existing ones. Its structure provides a high-level overview of major system components, key process participants and important working relationships.
Why are block diagrams important?
A block diagram is an essential method used to develop and describe hardware or software systems as well as represent their workflows and processes. Block diagrams are used in electronics to represent systems and their shifting e.g mechatronic systems in the trucking industry.
Block diagram are generally used when the visualization of information or control flows is important - or when processes are involved. In this way we can represent complex algorithms or flows of information or communication among individual components within a large system as with, for example, in a facility designed for mass production. A graphical representation is often easier to understand than a textual representation.

Wireless Sensor Network
A wireless sensor network is a group of specialized transducers with a communications infrastructure for monitoring and recording conditions at diverse locations. Commonly monitored parameters are temperature, humidity, pressure, wind direction and speed, illumination intensity, vibration intensity, sound intensity, power-line voltage, chemical concentrations, pollutant levels and vital body functions.
A sensor network consists of multiple detection stations called sensor nodes, each of which is small, lightweight and portable. Every sensor node is equipped with a transducer, microcomputer, transceiver and power source. The transducer generates electrical signals based on sensed physical effects and phenomena. The microcomputer processes and stores the sensor output. The transceiver receives commands from a computer and transmits data to that computer. The power for each sensor node is derived from a battery.
Potential applications of sensor networks include:
Industrial automation
Automated and smart homes
Video surveillance
Traffic monitoring
Medical device monitoring
Monitoring of weather conditions
Air traffic control
Robot control

Now come to week 14. This week I want to write about SMS.
What is SMS?
SMS (Short Massage Service), commonly referred to as "text messaging", is a service for sending short messages of up to 160 characters (224 characters if using a 5-bit mode) to mobile devices, including cellular phones, smartphones and PDAs.
SMS is similar to paging. However, SMS messages do not require the mobile phone to be active and within range and will be held for a number of days until the phone is active and withing range. SMS messages are transmitted within the same cell or to anyone with roaming service capability. They can also be sent to digital phones in a number of the other ways, including:
From one digital phone to another
From Web-based applications within a Web browser
From instant messaging clients like ICQ
From VoIP applications like Skype
From some unified communications applications
Typical uses of SMS include:
Notifying a mobile phone owner of a voicemail message
Notifying a salesperson of an inquiry and contact to call
Notifying a doctor of a patient with an emergency problem
Notifying a service person of the time and place of their next call
Notifying a driver of the address of the next pickup
Enhanced messaging service (EMS), an adaption of SMS that allows users to send and receive ringtones and operator logos, as well as combinations of simple media to and from EMS-compliant handsets.
Many of these uses depend upon short telephone numbers called common short codes (CSCs), usually consisting of five digits, that are used to address SMS and MMS messages from cellular telephones.
Users can send messages from a computer via an SMS gateway. SMS gateways are Web sites that allow users to send messages to people within the cell served by that gateway. They also serve as international gateways for users with roaming capability.

What is GSM?
GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) is a digital mobile telephony system that is widely used in Europe and other parts of the world. GSM uses a variation of the division multiple access (TDMA) and is the most widely used of the three digital wireless telephony technologies (TDMA, GSM and CDMA). GSM digitizes and compresses data, then sends it down a channel with two other streams od data user, each in its own time slot. It operates at either the 900 MHz or 1800 MHz frequency band.
GSM, together with other technologies, is part of the evolution of wireless mobile telecommunications that includes High-Speed Circuit-Switched Data (HSCSD), General Packet Radio System (GPRS), Enhanced Data GSM Environment (ESGE), and Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS).
More information on GSM...
GSM provides standard features like phone call encrytion, data networking, caller ID, call forwarding, call waiting, SMS and conferencing.

This week I want to share about Arduino.
Arduino is an open-source platform used for building electronics projects. Arduino consists of both a physical programmable circuit board (often referred to as a microcontroller) and a piece of software, or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that runs on computer, used to write and upload computer code to the physical board.
The Arduino platform has become quite popular with people just starting out with electronics, and for good reason. Unlike most previous programmable circuit boards, the Arduino does not need a separate piece of hardware (called a programmer) in order to load new code onto the board - can simply use a USB cable. Additionally, the Arduino IDE uses a simplified version of C++, making it easier to learn the program. Finally, Arduino provides a standard form factor that breaks out the functions of the microcontroller into a more accessible package.

8051 is the name of a big family of microcontrollers. The 89S52 has 4 different ports, each one having 8 input/output lines providing a total of 32 I/O lines. Those ports can be used to output DATA and orders to other devices, or to read the state of a sensor, or a switch. Most of the ports of the 89S52 have 'dual function' meaning that they can be used for two different functions.
The first one is to perform input/output operations and the second one is used to implement special features of the microcontroller like counting external pulses, interrupting the execution of the program according to external events, performing serial data transfer or connecting the chip to a computer to update the software. Each port has 8 pins- variable called 'register', each bit being connected to a different input/output pin.
There are two different memory types: RAM and EEPROM. Shortly, RAM is used to store variable during program execution, while EEPROM memory is used to store the program itselft, that's why it is often referred to as the 'program memory'. It is clear that the CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the heart of the micro controllers. It is the CPU that will Read the program from the FLASH memory and Execute it by interacting with the different peripherals.

This week i want to share about rotation of rotor.
In a three-phase induction machine, alternating current supplied to the stator windings energizes it to create a rotating magnetic flux. The flux generates a magnetic field in the air gap between the stator and the rotor and induces a voltage which produces current through the rotor bars. The rotor circuit is shorted and current flows in the rotor conductors. The action of the rotating flux and the current produces a force that generates a torque to start the motor.
An alternator rotor is made up of a wire coil enveloped around an iron core. The magnetic component of the rotor is made from steel laminations to aid stamping conductor slots to specific shapes and sizes. As currents travel through the wire coil a magnetic field is created around the core, which is referred to as field current. The field current strength controls the power level of the magnetic field. Direct current (DC) drives the field current in one direction and is delivered to the wire coil by a set of brushes and slip rings. Like any magnet, the magnetic field produced has a north and a south pole. The normal clockwise direction of the motor that the rotor is powering can be manipulated by using the magnets and magnetic fields installed in the design of the rotor, allowing the motor to run in reverse or counterclockwise.

LITERATURE REVIEW

This week I want to share a useful tips when selecting a sensor.
There are 6 thing that can be consider:
Accuracy & Precision - Those two terms do not mean the same thing, though they are often related. Accuracy has to do with how close the sensor reading is to the true value while Precision refers to the ability of the sensor to detect small changes. (As an example, a temperature sensor that measures boiling water at 97.53 ͒C has a high precision but low accuracy.) Both the accuracy and precision of a given instrumentation system must be appropriate for the requirements of the system. Too high precision can give a false impression that the reading is also accurate or can result in the system detecting noise rather than the actual desired data. A sensor with more accuracy that necessary will be more expensive and more difficult to use properly than one more appropriate to the measurement required. Additionally, both accuracy and precision are affected by errors incurred throughout the system. Transducer error, wiring, signal conditioners, and the gauges or converters used to read the value each add their own errors into the system that must be understood in order to select the appropriate sensors.
Environment - Selection of the proper sensor requires a good understanding of the environment in which the instrument will be operated. Many sensors can be affected by the non-ideal conditions of a production floor (such as temperature variation, vibration, humidity, chemicals, etc.) It is important to take the environment into account when selecting the sensor and its packaging, mounting, and other options.
Excitation - Many transducers require power to produce an output signal and it is important to provide a power source that will not introduce additional errors.
Signal Conditioning - Unfortunately, the world is full of non-ideal realities in sensors. Electrical noise is always present, often more so on production floors, and can cause erroneous readings. Signal conditioners and other protection circuits can provide some protection from these effects before conversion. Sometimes these are useful, but other times it is possible or preferred to process the signals after conversion, so the use of conditioners must be evaluated during the instrumentation design process.
Conversion - In modern systems, it is often preferred that instrumentation system provide digital data (rather than analog gauges or chart recorders). The analog to digital converters must be evaluated and matched appropriately to the sensors or errors can be introduced, or money wasted by overpaying for precision in one that is not present in the other. Make sure to properly handle ratiometric and non-ratiometric sensors by properly matching with converters that are the same.
Processing - Even if signal conditioning is performed, the sensor and conversion process is full of various sources of error. Some of these errors are linear (consistent effect across the measurement range), while others are non-linear. There are various methods and algorithms that can be used to compensate for these errors or to extract the best possible signal form the system.
The date ultimately must be displayed or used by the system and may be stored for later analysis. Whatever is done with the data, remember that a test system can only perform as well as the data it is provided, so appropriate analysis must be done when selecting and implementing the instrumentation.

Today I make a research about Hall Effect Sensor.
The Hall Effect is the most common method of measuring magnetic field and the Hall Effect sensors are very popular and have many contemporary applications. For example, they can be found in vehicles as wheel speed sensors as well as crankshaft or camshaft position sensors. Also they are often used as switches. MEMS compasses, proximity sensors and so on.
What is Hall Effect?
A Hall effect sensor is a transducer that varies its output voltage in response to a magnetic field. Hall effect sensors are used for proximity switching, positioning, speed detection, and current sensing applications.
In a Hall effect sensor a thin strip of metal has a current applied along it, in the presence of a magnetic field the electrons are deflected towards one edge of the metal strip, producing a voltage gradient across the short-side of the strip (perpendicular to the feed current). Inductive sensors are just a coil of wire, in the presence of a changing magnetic field a current will be induced in the coil, producing a voltage at its output. Hall effect sensors have the advantage that they can detect static (non-changing) magnetic fields.
In simplest form, the sensor operates as an analog transducer, directly returning a voltage. With a known magnetic field, its distance from the Hall plate can be determined. Using groups of sensors, the relative position of the magnet can be deduced.
A Hall sensor is combined with threshold detection so that it acts as and is called switch. Commonly seen in industrial applications such as the pictured pneumatic cylinder, they are also used in consumer equipment; for example some computer printers use them to detect missing paper and open covers. They can also be used in computer keyboards applications that require ultra-high reliability.
Hall sensors are commonly used to time the speed of wheels and shafts, such as for internal combustion engine ignition timing, tachometers and anti-lock braking systems. They are used in brushless DC electric motors to detect the position of the permanent magnet. In the pictured wheel with two equally spaced magnets, the voltage from the sensor will peak twice for each revolution. This arrangement is commonly used to regulate the speed of disk drives.

In this journal, the owner will receive SMS if the pipeline have problem. So I want to share about LAN.
A local area network or LAN is a group of computers and associated devices that share a common communications line or wireless link to a server. Typically, a LAN encompasses computers and peripherals connected to a server within a distinct geographic area such as an office or a commercial establishment. Computers and other mobile devices use a LAN connection to share resources such as a printer or network storage.
A local area network may serve as few as two or three users (for example, in a small-office network) or several hundred users in a larger office. LAN networking comprises cables, switches, routers and other components that let users connect to internal servers, websites and other LANs via wide are networks.
Ethernet and Wi-Fi are two primary ways to enable LAN connections. Ethernet ia a specification that enables computers to communicate with each other. Wi-Fi uses radio waves to connect computers to the LAN. Other LAN technologies, including Token Ring, Fiber Distributed Data Interface, and ARCNET, have lost favor as Ethernet and Wi-Fi speeds have increased. The rise of virtualization has fueled the development of virtual LANs, which allows network administrators to logically group network nodes and partition their networks without the need for major infrastructure changes.
Typically, a suite of application programs can be kept on the LAN server. Users who need an application frequently can download it once and then run it from their local device. Users can order printing and other services as needed through applications run in the LAN server. A user can share files with others stored on the LAN server; read and write access is maintained by a network administrator. A LAN server may also be used as a web server if safeguards are taken to secure internal applications and data from outside access.
In some situation, a wireless LAN, or Wi-Fi, may be preferable to a wired LAN connection because of its flexibility and cost, Companies are assessing WLANs as primary means of connectivity as the number of smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices proliferates.

This week i want to share about Digital sensor.
A digital sensor is an electronic or electrochemical sensor, where date conversion and data transmission are done digitally. These digital sensors are replacing analog sensors as they are capable of overcoming the drawbacks of analog sensors. The digital sensor consists of majorly three components: sensor, cable and transmitter. In digital sensors, the signal measures is directly converted into digital signal output inside the digital sensor itself. And this digital signal is transmitted through cable digitally. There are different types of digital sensors that overcome disadvantages of analog sensors.
Digital sensors are mainly used in water, waste water and industrial processes. They measure parameters such as pH, redox potential, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, ammonium, nitrate, SAC, turbidity.

This week i have make some research about Raspberry Pi.
What is the Raspberry Pi? It have a tasty name... 😋
Raspberry Pi is a small, barebones computer developed by The Raspberry Pi Foundation, a UK charity, with the intention of providing low-cost computers and free software to students. Their ultimate goal is to foster computer science education and they hope that this small, affordable computer will be a tool that enables that.
Why is it called Raspberry Pi?
The "Raspberry" derives is an homage to early computer being named after fruit, like Apple, Tangerine Computer Systems, Apricot Computers, and Acorn (which inspired the microcomputer's design). The "Pi" derives from the original idea to make a small computer to run only the Phyton programming language.
When was Raspberry Pi launced?
The first commercially available Raspberry Pi unit was launced on February 19, 2012 and sales started ten days later. This version could run Linux-based desktop operating systems, and featured 256MB of RAM, one USB port and no Ethernet port. This was named the model A.
What's the difference between Raspberry Pi models?
Raspberry Pi models can be a bit confusing. There are two levels to the naming system. Pi 1, Pi 2 and Pi 3 indicate the "generation" of the model, where roughly Pi 1 is 2012-14 models, Pi 2 is 2015 models, and Pi 3 is 2016 models. So 3 is better than 2, which is better than 1.
Where are Raspberry Pi's used?
The Raspberry Pi has won hearts all across the globe, from astronauts to hobbyists. In fact, right now, there are two Raspberry Pi's orbiting the Earth, conducting experiments abroad the International Space Station.
What is a Raspberry Pi good for?
Regular people can use the Raspberry Pi in a wide variety of tasks. It's perfect for projects where you need a computer but don't require much processing power, want to save on space and keep the costs low.
Hopefully, those point that i have share can answer all the major questions you have had about Raspberry Pi.

I have make some research about the journal that related to my project. I will share some knowledge that I learn. In this journal, the researchers use IoT. What is IoT?
Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
A thing, in the internet of Things, can be a person with a heart monitor implant, a farm animal with a biochip transponder, an automobile that has built-in sensors to alert the driver when tire pressure is low, or any other natural or man-made object that can be assigned an IP address and provided with the ability to transfer data over a network.
Practical applications of IoT technology can be found in many industries today, including precision agricultural, building management, healthcare, energy and transportation. Although the concept wasn't named until 1999, the Internet of Things has been in development for decades. The first internet appliance, for example, was a Coke machine at Carnegie Melon University in the early 1980s. The programmers could connect to the machine over the internet, check the status of the machine and determine whether or not there would be a cold drink awaiting them, should the decide to make the trip down to the machine.
I hope that after reading this, you guys also got new benefits knowledge.... ☺
