CEC Semester Seven 2015

After the Day 2 class, where we investigate procedures for interfacing with cloud services and storage solutions, we will look at methods in current use to interface IoT/IIoT networks to cloud computing and storage. We will also look at tools for...

This class will cover a brief history of the cloud, identify the major providers of cloud services, and examine the needs for interfacing to these services. We will compare high-level services such as Google Drive and Dropbox with the basic...

In this class we will take a look at the definition and structure of the Internet of Things and the Industrial Internet of Things, review some competing protocols that are being used, and identify some of the data storage and analysis needs of the...

It may not be ideal or comfortable by any means, but surviving a week is doable. But what about longer term situations? You will need systems for growing food, animal care, as well as efficient-energy systems. Designing systems that can help...

Preparations need to sustain basic life-support systems and services even for short durations. Such systems we will discuss include those for energy, water, air, light, heat, cooling and refrigeration, medical, communications, filtration, and...

What we store and how long we need to store it are critical. Some supplies will come naturally in certain regions, and we can depend on them -- like rain and snow supplying water. We need foods that won’t spoil in storage. Short-term...

Where we live affects what we need to survive. It also can determine the types of disasters that we are prone to and the types of structures, supplies and equipment needed to protect ourselves. These are also affected by population densities...

In most cases we will need to have survival systems for a few necessities. Having an independent air supply may not be needed, but having a fresh and clean supply of water may. On Day 1 we will examine what is required to sustain life short and...

This final session is a continuation of the PSoC BLE CapSense proximity sensor project. In this last class, you will walk away with the knowledge of how to connect the integrated circuit with the CySmart PC tool using the CapSense proximity sensor...

The ability to improve process and product performance using wireless techniques is a driving force of product innovation today. Cypress Semiconductor's PSCoC BLE -- for Bluetooth Low Energy -- is a development platform that provides such...
