Study Notes
Monitoring and Control Systems
- A monitoring system is designed to observe using sensors, e.g., burglar alarm.
- A control system controls a process using actuators, e.g., washing machines.
- A monitoring and control system combines both functions, using sensors to monitor and actuators to control.
Sensors
- A device that detects physical signals, such as:
- Temperature
- Motion
- Touch
- Light
- Pressure
- Proximity
- Smoke
Artificial Intelligence
- A field of computer science focused on creating machines that perform tasks requiring human intelligence.
- Key features:
- Data collection: vast amounts of data used as input.
- Programmed rules: rules and algorithms for performance.
- Ability to reason: ability to reason and draw logical conclusions.
- Ability to learn: learn from collected data and feedback.
- Applications:
- Computer-assisted translation
- Speech recognition
- Neural networks: recognize patterns in pixels
- Image recognition
- Virtual personal assistant: simulate conversations
- Text generation
- Gaming: improved visual quality
- Weather Forecasting: analyze large amounts of data
- Machine learning in genomics: classify DNA sequences
- Computer-assisted diagnosis: diagnose diseases using imaging and algorithms
Emerging Technologies
- Virtual Reality (VR) or Mixed Reality: computer-simulated reality that allows user interaction.
- Augmented Reality (AR): computer-generated content that does not respond to the real world.
- HoloLens technology: computer with a transparent display.
- Cloud Computing: access data and information in different ways.
- Internet of Things (IoT): devices connected via the internet, e.g., home appliances.
- Mobile Payment: use near-field communication (NFC).
- Blockchain: secure transfer of information.
- Cryptocurrency: digital or virtual currency.
- Telehealth: deliver health services and information remotely.
- Assistive technology: help disabilities achieve a better quality of life, e.g., screen reader, speech generation.
- Biometrics: verify a person's identity, e.g., fingerprints, passports.
- High-speed cellular communication: 5G is a component of IoT.
- Data Storage: e.g., Solid State Storage (SSD), optical, and holographic storage.
- Quantum computing: uses qubits instead of bits (0 or 1).
- Digital nomads: individuals who use technology to work and live anywhere.
Environment and Health
- Consumers: seek new technology, but contribute to e-waste.
- Manufacturers: make repairs difficult or don't support old versions.
- E-waste: digital devices contain toxic materials, and non-recyclable materials are used for Waste-to-Energy.
- E-waste Management:
- Reduce: decrease consumption.
- Reuse: use as long as possible, then sell or donate.
