As I reflect on the past year, I am filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment. In 2013, I had the opportunity to work as a Communication and Software R&D Engineer, focusing on researching and developing innovative products related to near-field communication technology, with a particular emphasis on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Throughout the year, I had the privilege of delving deeper into the realm of near-field communication, gaining a profound understanding of its underlying principles and mechanisms. My research and development efforts culminated in the successful application of BLE technology to create smart lock products that showcased enhanced user experience and security features. While the journey was not without its challenges, I persevered and overcame numerous obstacles, ultimately yielding substantial results. I am thrilled to have made meaningful contributions to the development of smart locks, which have the potential to revolutionize the industry. As I look back on 2013, I am reminded of the importance of continuous learning and growth. My experience has taught me that staying at the forefront of technological advancements requires dedication, passion, and a willingness to adapt to emerging trends and innovations. In conclusion, 2013 was a pivotal year in my career as a Communication and Software R&D Engineer. I made significant strides in near-field communication technology, and my research and development efforts yielded tangible results. I am excited to carry this momentum forward, continuing to push the boundaries of innovation and excellence in the years to come.

SensyLight: sensible atmosphere using Internet of Things
The above video is from a research lab at the MIT Media Lab called Responsive Environments. They have a really interesting article [1] about a multimodal mediated work environment. Internet of Things has been of great buzz these days. It is interesting, but why is it interesting? Just made a project/home lighting on this project. So, here is the scenario for the internet of things. The thing in the Internet of Things is the web controlled lights – LED strip. The “control” part of the lights is managed by the Arduino. The task of Arduino would be to “GET” data that matters and send that info to the light strip. The ways in which the LED strip can be manipulated from the Arduino can be listed as 1 LED can have 3 inputs, R G B. Each R G B can value from 0 – 255 which is 256 values. There are 32 LEDs in the strip. Which makes a lot of math and logical decisions for the Arduino to handle. That is the whole point of networking these devices, now they have access to on-demand computing resources. This means we need the medium to connect the Arduino to the internet. That is done using the WiFi module which communicates with the Arduino using USART communication. There are two ways to handle the information flow: To directly to give out RGB information an hour A lot of data transfer between the devices, but all of the computing, the decision is taken… Read more
