Importance of gradients in membrane properties and electrical coupling in sinoatrial node pacing. by Shin Inada, Henggui Zhang, James O Tellez, Nitaro Shibata, Kazuo Nakazawa, Kaichiro Kamiya, Itsuo Kodama, Kazuyuki Mitsui, Halina Dobrzynski, Mark R Boyett, Haruo Honjo

“…We conclude that the heterogeneous nature of the node is important for its normal functioning. The presence of Nav1.5 and Cx43 in the periphery may be essential for the node to be able to drive the atrial muscle: Nav1.5 provides the necessary depolarizing current and Cx43 delivers it to the atrial muscle.…”

Nodes deployment strategy for underwater wireless sensors networks based on grids by Kai ZHOU

“…To optimal the node deployment of underwater wireless sensor network,a node deployment strategy with multi-metrics based on the grids was proposed.Firstly,the underwater environment was divided into some certain size grids.Then,based on number of nodes,coverage quality of nodes,lifetime of network,network redundancy,a multi-objectives model was proposed.In order to solve the model,cost function with constraint conditions was given.Based on the genetic algorithm,the cost and the energy consumption of the deployment method were computed.The simulation result shows that the energy consumption and the number of deployment nodes are reduced.…”

Optimal scalable redeployment algorithm of relay nodes in wireless sensor networks by Bin ZENG, Jun WEI, Lu YAO

“…A relay node redeployment algorithm was proposed to find the optimal location of redeployment relay node when an existed relay node was overloaded considering the multi-dimensional localization and bandwidth constraint.The algorithm translated the redeployment problem into the optimal location planning in a multi-dimensional Euclidean space and then gave the suitable redeployment plan through searching the intersections of transmission areas heuristically.The correctness and completeness of the algorithm were proved.Furthermore,an optimization method was proposed to reduce the complexity of the algorithm to the linear function of the number of sensor nodes.The simulation results show that the algorithm can balance the loads of the overloaded relay nodes by joining in the candidate nodes and then prolong the network lifetime.…”

Design of MAC protocol and performance analysis for heterogeneous nodes separating CRSN by Deyue MENG, Errong PEI, Youlin HUANG

“…Cognitive wireless sensor network (CRSN) is a new type of network that introduces cognitive radio (CR) technology into traditional WSN,and has certain application value and developmental prospect.However,the additional energy consumption,processing requirements and its high cost implementation have hindered its further development and application.Based on this,transfering cognitive functions to another nodes——cognitive nodes which have ability of processing and collecting energy was proposed.The cognitive nodes were deployed with the ordinary sensor nodes according to the certain proportion.They form a new type of network——heterogeneous node CRSN (HT-CRSN).The new network can improve network performance and reduce the deployment cost.Then a work schedule which can be applied to this kind of heterogeneous node sensor networks and a series of feasible MAC protocols was proposed.The analysis of the proposed MAC protocol proves that energy consumption can be balanced by adjusting the deployed ratio of the two kinds of heterogeneous nodes and the network life cycle is improved.…”

Design and application of a lightweight management software for Internet of things node by Shiyou GUAN, Zaiqun WU

“…The modular design idea was used to abstract the logic of IoT nodes, and the function and control logic of nodes were divided into atoms, the atomic modules can be freely combined and deployed according to different application, they support single system and distributed system deployment, and were pluggable and easy to expand, meet the diversified design needs of IoT applications.The design and implementation of lightweight IoT node management software based on this idea were described in detail.The test results show that the software only needs 14 872 byte of flash and 1 976 byte of RAM, which can be used in limited hardware resources.This software framework was used to design smart hotel RCU(room control unit), including the design of voice gateway node based on esp32 (Wi-Fi SOC) and 4-bit key panel node based on cx32l003 (MCU).The RCU designed with this software framework can deploy to different hotels only needed to be designed once, which solves the problem that RCU cannot be used in different hotels and needs to be designed and modified repeatedly, and greatly speeds up the process of smart hotel deployment.At present, the RCU has been deployed and operated stably in Xi'an, Tupai and other express hotels.…”
