Meter monitoring during pandemic with Wireless M-Bus

The wM-Bus or Wireless Meter Bus is a European standard (EN 13757-4) that defines communication between usability meters and data loggers, hubs or intelligent meter gates. Based on the M-Bus wireless bus, a new advanced measurement infrastructure (AMI) was developed to meet the needs of media meters across Europe. Several years have passed since M-Bus and sub-GHz wireless connections were introduced, but they are still evolving in response to changing environments and taking advantage of technological advances, including the emergence of the Internet of Things.

2.4 GHz band vs unlicensed bands

Wireless communication over long distances is a requirement for intelligent network devices. These frequencies are unlicensed and provide better radio wave propagation than 2.4 GHz. In Europe, the most common frequencies are 868 MHz, 434 MHz and 169 MHz. These unlicensed bands can be used to reach difficult areas, such as underground meters or the location of buildings with many walls and obstructions. In addition, utilities have lower solution costs when operating in the unlicensed band.

COVID-19 and wireless technologies

The use of wireless technologies during COVID-19 pandemic hazards is often a necessity, to prevent the virus from spreading. One of obvious choices for Internet of Things and home monitoring is Wireless M-Bus implementation.MODUINO series expansion options now include TECHBASE’s high-performance Wireless M-Bus module.

For low power applications using either the specifically allocated 169 MHz metering band or the 868 MHz ISM band, the module can be configured as an embedded micro system or simple data modem. For Industrial IoT applications, the device can be configured for interoperability in a WMBus network.

In terms of covered area and power consumption, the RF implementation ensures best-in-class performance. On the 169 MHz band, the output power can be increased up to +30 dBm (+27 dBm on the optimized version for maximum power efficiency) and up to +15 dBm on the 868 MHz band. The extremely reduced power consumption gives access to long lasting battery life requirements (up to 2 μA in sleep mode for wireless M-Bus modules with an RTC clock running).

It is possible to make Moduino devices equipped with a WMBus stack that Embit developed specifically for the ESP32 platform, allowing them to be integrated in any desired system, without effort, and simplifying interactions in WMBus networks.

Available open source ventilator projects to help COVID-19 patients

When the news came out that ventilator shortages could be a problem, many saw the need for alternatives to the big manufacturers and rushed to create them. Unlike industrial projects, these projects were open and shared. Currently, Robert Reed and his group are starting to systematically evaluate the ranking of over 80 such open source projects.

Their work is a milestone in public research and development efforts to solve problems. For many ventilator builders, the group recognized the need for independent evaluation and testing of various projects. This control provides important feedback to both designers and future builders. This is a service you can expect from government regulators if they can act very quickly.

Reid and colleagues Geoff Mulligan, Lauria Clarke, Juan E. Villacres Perez and Avinash Baskaran to help to learn about these studies. This includes submission of modular team designs that allow distributed production and unique suggestions for testing and monitoring these systems. This is called VentMon.

Industrial Arduino-like devices as a base of medical equipment?

When industrial IoT devices and edge devices, like medical equipment work together, digital information becomes more powerful. Especially in contexts where you need to collect data in a traditional edge context, or control the servo-motors of a ventilatr. You can then remotely monitor the container using the sensor.

By introducing AI (artificial intelligence) into the device itself, edge computing can also make more context-sensitive, quick decisions at the edge. Data gathered from the sensors can be transferred to the cloud at any time after local work has been completed, contributing to a more global AI process, or archived. With the combination of industrial IoT devices and advanced technology, high quality analysis and small footprint will become the AI standard in 2020.

Rosetta@Home now with 64-bit Arm SBC’s support #CoronaIOT

This week, as a result of the incredible efforts of the Arm community, the Rosetta@Home project has been working on a 64-bit Arm such as the Raspberry Pi 4, Nvidia Jetson Nano, Rockchip RK3399 single board computer, and other SBCs with 2GB of memory. Released support for sending work units to devices. More.

Sahaj Sarup from Linaro, the Neocortix team, Arm, and the Baker Lab at the University of Washington all played in role helping us port the Rosetta software to aarch64, get it tested in their Ralph (Rosetta ALPHa) staging environment, validate the scientific results, and eventually push it to Rosetta@Home.

AgVa Phone Ventilator another approach to fight COVID-19

One of the main problems during the COVID-19 crisis is the lack of adequate ventilator support for patients, a key component of equipment that has a major impact on the breathing of critically ill patients. It’s clear that more ventilators are needed because there aren’t enough devices currently in the hospital for all potential patients who can get infected. Developers use existing creation tools to participate in service calls, for example trying to create a cheap open source Arduino-based ventilators.

Another solution is the AgVa phone ventilator produced by the Indian based company AgVa Healthcare which used one tool we already have: smartphone. The AgVa Phone Ventilator, known officially as the AgVa Advance Pure, is a portable and mobile ventilator system that does the work of a typical ventilator. The vision around the ventilator is that patients should not always have to be stuck to the hospitals all the time.

The primary focus of the ventilator is to provide mechanical ventilation for everyone in need. Its small package ensures easy storage and transportation, whereas its intuitive user interface makes it extremely easy to use even for a non trained person. Finally due to its phenomenally low cost and no need for infrastructure requirement makes it ideal for scaling up the ICU.

Raspberry Pi sales rise during coronavirus pandemic

In March, sales of Raspberry Pi single-board computers totaled 640,000. The consumer find it the cheapest way to start tinkering and drove to the second-largest sales month since Raspberry Foundation began selling for home use.

Other uses of Raspberry Pi computers are more directly associated with the appearance of COVID-19. For example, in Colombia, efforts are underway to run a ventilator on a Pi computer, and if successful, it will help solve the problem of the lack of traditional ventilation equipment in this country.

I think what this is telling us is that we’re seeing genuine consumer use of the product. It’s not like your desktop PC – you’re not going to be able play Crysis on it – but if you want a machine you can use to edit documents, use the web, use Gmail and Office 365 and all the baseline use cases of a general purpose computer, the Raspberry Pi 4 is a product we’ve made to get over that bar.

Eben Upton, the Raspberry Pi’s co-creator for Techrepublic

When the Raspberry Pi Foundation asked to talk about how to deal with COVID-19 using Raspberry Pi devices, one of the most common uses he saw was 3D printing with use of Raspberry Pi, especially for 3d-printed faceshields.

Arduino-based ventilator to help coronavirus patients

A month ago we wrote about Arduino-based solution, similar to the one tested in Columbia. As far as manufacturing and using home-made medical equipment is not advised, the spread of the COVID-19 might push humanity to such solutions. Johnny Lee’s project involves a simple, low-cost ventilator controlled via Arduino.

The idea is that since these machines are basically just blowers controlled by a brushless DC motor, an Arduino Nano equipped with an electonic speed controller could allow it to act as a one. Such a setup has been shown to provide more than enough pressure for a ventilator used on COVID-19 patients. This device has in no way been evaluated or approved for medical use, but it does provide a starting point for experimentation.
