CONCLUSION

INTRODUCTION NODE (wireless sensor)is a versatile first-generation handheld sensor measuring 1 inch in diameter and 3.75 inches wide that communicates wirelessly through low energy Bluetooth 4.0 with Apple iOS devices.

Dr. George Yu

HARDWARE
Arduino compatible Lithium Polymer battery (650 mAh) 12-14 hours battery life with continuous Bluetooth use 2 MB memory 3-axis accelerometer 3-axis magnetometer 3-axis gyroscope Audio buzzer Bluetooth 2.1 or Bluetooth Low Energy 2 module ports 2 dimmable blue LEDs micro-USB for charging and firmware programming

APPS
NODE is an app driven product. More than one app can use the NODE's functions to perform a variety of tasks.

SENSOR MODULES As of January 2013, 6 interchangeable sensor modules were available , that can detect: colour-CHROMA gases-OXA flash light-LUMA barometric pressure-CLIMA motion-KORE surface temperature-THERMA

Highlights:
9 degrees-of-freedom motion engine 2 interchangeable module ports Open API with all modules long-range Bluetooth 4.0 Smart Directly useful for: Motion mapping for animation or physical therapy Motion-based cues like telling when the washer stops or the door opens Impact testing Use as a gesture-based remote control

Highlights:

Measurement time: approx 1 second consistency : < 0.80deltaE reading to reading consistency of the same color under same temperature. Color information provided: CIE L*a*b*D65,sRGB D65,HEX,CMYK,DeltaE 2000 for color comparision
Directly useful for: Ideal paint color matching and collecting module Quality Control Design

Highlights: Measure heat or cold at a distance 2 LED aiming guides Use the Therma App to mark heat signatures Directly useful for: Inspecting heavy machinery at a distance Looking for weak points in insulation Testing for hotspots in walls Monitoring cooling systems Determining external food temperature Touchless thermometer

THERMA app

Highlights: Measures humidity, temperature, and barometric pressure Senses ambient light Tells the climate of wherever you place it Directly useful for: Testing humidity Monitoring for changes in temperature Light- or temperature-based cues Transmitting temp readings from firefighters in a building to the fire chief outside

Highlights:
8 High-brightness LEDs Use one or all of the 8 LEDs Extra-long sleep life via Bluetooth Low-energy Programmable flash patterns Adjust the lighting remotely from your Smartphone Directly useful for: Compact flashlight for a car or bag Altering the mood-lighting right from your phone Remote signal lighting Turn on remotely during a power outage

Highlights:
Stable electrochemical gas sensor for both ambient and toxic level gas detection.

Used to detect and measure gases:

Carbon Monoxide (0 - 400 ppm) Carbon Dioxide (500 ppm to 90%) Chlorine (0 - 10 ppm) Nitric Oxide (0 - 40 ppm) Hydrogen (0 - 20 ppm) Sulphur Dioxide (0 - 10 ppm)

COMPATIBLE DEVICES FOR BLUETOOTH 4.0

iPhone 5
Mobile applications that display the data transmitted by the NODE can be developed thorough its open application programming interface (API).

iPhone 4S iPod Touch 5th Gen

iPad 3
iPad 4 iPad Mini Macbooks

CONCLUSION

NODE, a modular wireless sensor platform for Smartphones that enables apps to access the latest in sensing technologies. This technology will completely change the way people use their Smartphones .Thus NODE, handheld powerhouse of sensors is considered as the coolest gizmo of 2013.
