An embedded system is a systemthat has software embedded intocomputerhardware, which makes a system dedicated for an applications,or specific part of an
application orproduct or part of a larger system.
An embedded system is one that has a dedicated purpose softwareembedded in a
computerhardware.
It is a dedicated computer based system for anapplication(s) or product. It may be an
independent system or apart of large system. Itssoftware usually embeds into aROM
(Read Only Memory) orflash.
It is any device that includes a programmable computer but its not itself intended to
be ageneral purpose computer.
Embedded Systems are theelectronic systems that contain microprocessor or
amicrocontroller, but we do notthink of them as computers thecomputer is hidden or
embedded in the system.

1.3Basic Component Of Embedded System

I.

The three basic component of Embedded System are:Hardware: Embeds hardware to give computerlike functionalities.

II.

Application of Software:Embeds main application softwaregenerally into flash or

ROM and theapplication software performsconcurrently the number of tasks.

III.

Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS): Embeds a real time operating system (RTOS),
which supervises theapplication software tasks running onthe hardware and organizes
the accesses to system resource according to priorities and timingconstraints of tasks
in the system.

IV.

Multi Rate Operations: Different operations may take place at different rates .For
example the audio-video network data, stream and video and events have the
different rate and time constraints to finish associated process.

5.MOOREs LAW
Statement: It describes a long term trend in the history of computing hardware

Fig 5.1Increasein number of transistors w.r.t years.

Trend was observed in by INTEL cofounder Gordon E , Moore in 1965.Almost every
measure of the capabilities of digital electronic devices is linked to Moores law :
processing speed ,memory capacity.

6.APPLICATIONS OF EMBEDDED SYSTEM IN DAILY LIFE

There are lots of examples of embedded system, but we will major and live/daily
examples, which we see in our daily and used daily.
We would deal the application, mainly regarding with Turnstile Gate.As we see in LPU,
every Hostel, library, Auditoriums has the Turnstile built for the entrance.
The Turnstile used in LPU are all Biometric and we would discuss it in detail in the
following report.

6.1Turnstile Gate
A Turnstile, also called as a baffle gate, is a form of gate which allows one person to pass
at a time. It can also be made so as to way traffic or people and in addition. It can also be
made so as to enforce one way traffic or people and in addition.
8

It allow the passage only to people who insert either a coin , ticket ,pass ,ID card etc.
Thus a Turnstile can be used in the case of paid case (sometime called a fore gate when
used for this purpose) .In public transport or a ticket barrier a pay ticket to restrict access
to authorized people for example in the lobby on a office building .
Turnstiles are used at widely variety or setting, including stadiums, amusements parks
,mass transport ,airport ski resorts and casinos .
Person with disabilities will have difficulties to access this. In this case generally a wide
aisle gate or a manual gate may be provided. At some locations where luggage is excepted
lot of turnstiles may be entirely formed or wide able gates.
Turnstiles were originally used, like other form of stile to allow human beings to pass
while keeping sheep or livestock penned in. The used of its modern application has been
credited to Clarence Saunden.

NOTE: In this case study we will mainly focus onTurnstile Gate used in Lovely
Professional University. We would see the product used specification of the tools used,
functioning of it, working and challenges.

The Turnstile, the product we used here has

6.1.1Product
1. Easy to install. Open the machine door, place the machine to the anchor belts, then fix
it and then tighten the screw.
2. The tripod turnstiles have very robust product,it able it to install inside and outside the
building.
3. It can be integrated with magnetic card, barcode scanner, swallow machines, token
acceptor and finger print machine by standard electrical interface.
4. It is very safety, to meet fire control passage requirements the tripod turnstile arms
will drop down automatically when the power is off.
5. ISO 9001 Quality Assurance and CE Certification.

NOTE : The product used for the turnstile gate need to be very long lasting , made up of
good quality steel , the more it is lighter , the more easily it can be activated or reinstall.

6.2University Turnstile
In the university (LPU), Turnstile plays the tremendous role. In LPU every hostel including
boys and girls (BH -1 to BH -6 and GH -1 to GH -6), Central Library, Main Gate entrance
etc.
In university there are 250 turnstiles approximately which act as barrier in the places shown
above. These are made not only for the students but for all the people, workers faculties to
enter their desired place.
Each and every individual has its own unique ID card, which has all its needed data saved in
that. More preciously a bar code which is different for everyone.

ID card Every fresher in the university has to first record all its necessary detail.
He or she is provided with unique Id card which has a barcode in it and all necessary details.
While making Id, also the fingerprints are taken of all fingers and they are permanently
recorded .And this are permanently recorded. No other student can access the Id card of other
student. Id card is mandatory to excess Turnstile.

6.2.1Working
Let us now discuss the working of Turnstile.

i.

We would take with respect to the student. Every student has to follow the following
steps in order to access the gate.
First the student need to put its Id card in the display.
For going out of the hostel, no finger prints are required.
Just by putting Id on it would unlock the gate.

ii.

While the Id card is pressed to display, yellow color is shown and lock is opened.

iii.

For entering in the Hostel, the student has to first press finger in the small display
which are on its side. It will first detect the fingerprints of those who tries to enter.
If the fingerprint is detected by the gate, it will show the green-yellow light.

iv.

After the light is seen then the user , put its Id card in the display
Two types of display:
a) Small to enter from outside.
b) Bigger one to go outside.

v.

Then the system detects both the fingerprints and scan the bar code, if both of them
match it unlock the gate and allow the user to get inside.

vi.

In the same way all the Turnstile of university acts in the same way.

10

vii.

For Hostel only the hostlers can move inside. Turnstile for library is made common
for all. Every one including student, teacher, workers can access the turnstile to get in.

6.3Challenges Of Turnstile Gate In LPU

Although these gates are of much helpful, but still sometime these create problems.
If a student lost his Id card or forgot anywhere he may get huge problem to enter the hostel.
He may not be allowed to enter he hostel without his Id card .Turnstiles are not enough to
judge who enter the place, it cannot recognize whether the person who get out of the hostel is
the person with same Id card. Anyone can go out of the hostel with other person card. We
need to carry ID cards with us all the time whenever we enter or go out anywhere. Its not
possible to take the card all the time with us.
Turnstiles are connected in series with each other. It takes a large space to occupy .There is
always a need of security or someone to always look after that .We see that in university no
turnstile is placed where there are no one to look after them.
Many times the hostel turnstile is unable to access , it dont opens in some cases like when
the display is unable to detect the card ,fingerprints are not properly matched etc. The data is
always recorded of students wherever they go and what time at what place they are is always
get detected in the data of the student .

7.SOME COMMON DAILY APPLIANCES

There are lots of examples of embedded appliances in our day to day life .The are the major
and important parts of our life .Without them the life would not be as easy as it is now.
The growth or manufacturing of embedded appliances are 2,00,000 times faster than the
non -embedded appliances.
Such as
1) Projector in classroom.
2) Biometric in mess.
3) ATM machines.
4) Remote of Television.

Fig 6.3.1More day to day life embedded appliances.

7.1Embedded systems are actually everywhere. Heres some applications:

Consumer electronics Mobile phones, videogame consoles, printers, Blu-Ray

players, home entertainment systems, televisions, digital cameras, music players

Household appliances Washing machines, microwave ovens, refrigerators,

dishwashers, air conditioners

Medical equipment CT Scanners, Electrocardiogram (ECG), MRI Scanners, blood

8.CONCLUSION
Just think about it, almost every advance made by humankind, every device or appliance that
helps us in our daily lives and even what creates those devices are embedded systems.
Without embedded systems, where would we be? Would it be possible for us to create
wonders like driverless cars, fully automated factories, adaptive home appliances and more?
Probably not. So if youre thinking about studying about a subject that quite literally is
changing the future, look no further than embedded systems!
