Wireless Sensor Network

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a wireless network consisting of spatially distributed autonomous devices using sensors to cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion or pollutants, at different locations.The development of wireless sensor networks was originally motivated by military applications such as battlefield surveillance. However, wireless sensor networks are now used in many civilian application areas, including environment and habitat monitoring, healthcare
a
pplications, home automation, and traffic control.

While the term wireless network may technically be used to refer to any type of
computer network that is wireless,the term is most commonly used to refer to a telecommunications network whose interconnections between nodes is implemented without the use of wires, such as a computer network (which is a type of communications network). Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented with some type of remote information transmission system that uses electromagnetic waves,such as radio waves,for the carrier and this implementation usually takes place at the physical level or "layer" of the network.

Advanced Searching of Gmail

Gmail is run by Google, so it’s obvious that its built-in search engine is going to be extremely powerful indeed. Everyone is used to the ordinary search technique of putting keywords into the box and pressing Enter, but not everyone is aware of the additional operators you can use.





The operators detailed in above tables are all self-explanatory and can be combined.For example, consider the following search parameters:
in:inbox from:BenHammersley “fancy a pint?”This search would result in any message from my Gmail account, in your Inbox,
suggesting a visit to the pub. In order to bring any unread mail sent before New
Year’s Eve 2004, with an attachment, and the subject line New Year’s Eve Invitation, you would conduct the following search:is:unread before:2004/12/31has:attachment subject:”New Years Eve Invitation”
Very simple indeed.
