    Smart embedded-analytics sensors with cloud-based measurement system for HVAC
    HVAC system is a necessary component of environment to maintain the temperature and humidity to be kept at certain levels by using air taken from outside to ensure the indoor comfort. The purpose of the study is to reduce the electricity energy usage and cost from air conditioning by using smart embedded-analytics sensors to provide the automatic thermal control in an area. In this study, we used sensors such as temperature and humidity sensors to detect and read the currently temperature and humidity of an area monitored by a microcontroller. The cloud-based system and the sensors are connected via wifi in the presence of MQTT protocol. The protocol enables publish and subscribe method which provide the communication between sensors, cloud-based system and HVAC system. This communication can serve thermal control automatically thus resulting the optimize usage of energy from air conditioning according to the external environment temperature and humidity. The control of the temperature and humidity from air conditioning can be designed through the programming embedded in the microcontroller. The monitoring result can be displayed from the control panel to ensure how the system works.

    Waveguide for vortex mode generation in HVAC cloud management communication
    Optical modes allow for the transmission of data by propagating light in a singular coherent form along the channel. By constructing a special waveguide structure, a unique mode may be formed in a plane perpendicular to the transmission axis. This paper elucidates on the design of a waveguide to generate unique vortex modes and analyses the properties of the generated modes.

    Public social distancing has been a great concern for the worldwide community as the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the COVID-19 pandemic as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). With regards to this global issue, this paper will share the latest commercially available solution and technology on crowd monitoring systems to determine the number of people in confined and crowded spaces at airport terminals which may have the potential for contagious diseases infection. Estimation of crowd dynamics is essential for crowd monitoring to ensure public safety by reducing the possibility of being infected by the COVID-19 virus. In this report a number of commercial and under development crowd monitoring products are reviewed and presented. Research and development of crowd monitoring technology is increasingly demanding to monitor crowds at strategic locations such as entry and exit points of closed areas to ensure public safety and to control the pandemic. In particular for the strategic area at the airport terminal, an efficient crowd monitoring solution is expected to support huge data collection and real time analysis, as well as providing online monitoring of crowds based on non-contact sensors for movement counting to restrain COVID-19 outbreaks.
