Summary 4 2. Introduction 4 3. Analysis 5 4. References 8 1. Summary A smart refrigerator is one that is provided to sense what items are constantly put into it, and may even have the ability to figure out when an item needs to be recharged. The smart refrigerator stays informed regarding what is in stock through several separate routines. The disadvantage of smart fridge is that most devices are not yet ready to communicate with another brand of devices. Specific products can only be networked with their fellow products under the same brand name. The solution of this problem is connecting a fridge to the cloud and it should be independent of any particular brand. It should be easily accessed and controlled by any device. 2. Introduction Intelligent machines with media proficiencies have been developing into our day by day life, because of the quick development of registering innovation and the wide utilization of the Internet. Kitchen is one of the spots where such shrewd apparatuses have been utilized.

...simulation Study Pilkington Library Main Issuing Desk Abstract: This paper investigates the activity of the main issuing desk at the 3rd floor of Pilkington Library during weekdays between 5 and 6pm. The aim is to find ways of minimizing queuing times and respond to flexibility in demand. Two sets of data have been analysed and transposed into a simulation study using the Simul8 software package. The results of the simulation are presented in support of our optimization proposals. Introduction With more than 370,000 books issued last year, serving almost 15,000 users which made up to 600,000 enquires, the Pilkington Library is definitely one of the busiest place on campus especially when it gets near the examination period. One of the library objective is: "To support and facilitate the research, learning, teaching and administrative activities of the University, by organising, maintaining and providing access to appropriate literature and information resources in such a way as to provide optimum benefit for Library users." (Loughborough Library) Of course, the library is a complex facility providing a range of services which far exceeds our simulation capabilities requiring the support of over 80 staff and use of specialised computer packages to track all items, users, requests and staff resources ensuring the functionality of the whole system. The scope of our research therefore will be limited to the long-loan counter at the 3rd floor of the library which is the main contact...

...options, and see if we can come up with a reasonable plan of action to increase your sales, and to keep your customers happy. Shopping carts: What they are. Your website needs what is called a shopping cart. It is just like a shopping cart that you use when you go to the grocery store, but this one resides electronically in your website. It holds items that your customers want to pay for until they make some form of payment for their order. The main objective from your point of view, you do not want to lose customers. From the customers’ point of view, they want to feel that they are in control of their purchase, and they want it to be simple. (1) The most common means of purchasing online include: (1) Credit cards (2) Online Bank Checks Most shopping cart software will calculate the shipping cost from where the item will ship from, to their destination. Many also have a preferred shipper such as FedEx or the Postal Service, and will give you a choice of carriers if that option is available. There is also typically a delivery...

...Buying a computer in the post, petrol at a supermarket, mortgages over the phone and phones themselves from vending machines are just some innovations in distribution which create competitive advantage as customers are offered newer, faster, cheaper, safer and easier ways of buying products and services. Without distribution even the best product or service fails. Author Jean-Jacques Lambin believes a marketer has two roles: (1) to organise exchange through distribution and (2) to organise communication. Physical distribution, or Place, must integrate with the other 'P's in the marketing mix. For example, the design of product packaging must fit onto a pallet, into a truck and onto a shelf; prices are often determined by distribution channels; and the image of the channel must fit in with the supplier's required 'positioning'. You can see how Coca Cola further integrate the timing of distribution and promotion in the Hall Of Fame later. In fact, they see distribution as one of their "core competencies". Distribution is important because: Firstly, it affects sales - if it's not available it can't be sold. Most customers won't wait. Secondly, distribution affects profits and competitiveness since it can contribute up to 50 percent of the final selling price of some goods. This affects cost competitiveness as well as profits since margins are squeezed by distribution costs. Thirdly, delivery is seen as part of the product influencing customer satisfaction. Distribution...

...login and password. If you bank does not have proper security in place this can lead to your account getting hacked and loss of money. Smishing- This is where fraudulent communication occurs in the form of a text message in order to obtain personal information. Vishing – This is similar to smishing instead of getting information through text it is obtained through phone calls or voicemails. Cloning- The transfer of information from one device to another device including the electronic serial number When a smartphone is lost or stolen this can lead to a compromise to a person’s personal information since it may be on the phone. I bank with Bank of America and use the mobile app to manage my account transfer funds, pay bills, deposit checks and so on. The app does not store the password but it does store the user login. You are unable to just log in to it from a new device or location without verify your identity. This is the form of know the image chosen when you started the account as well as answering security question and entering a verification code that is texted to the phone number that was used to set up the account. I am not saying that this prevents any of the above threats from happening but it does make it much more difficult for your account to be hacked. Many mobile...

...computer from scratch gives you the perfect machine for your needs, but it can be daunting the first time around. In this edition of Lifehacker Night School, we'll be taking you through the buying, building, and installation process step-by-step. Today, we're going to start with a little computer hardware basics. While you could just go to the store and buy a Dell, you might find that you're happier with a custom-built machine. Building a PC from the ground up means it's perfectly crafted to fit your needs, whether you're a hardcore gamer, video editor extraordinaire, or you're just trying to build a low- or high-powered home theater PC. In some instances, you may save some money, and in all instances you'll have accomplished a project that you'll benefit from for years—a pretty great feeling in and of itself. That said, building is much more time consuming than buying, and your first time through, it can be daunting. This week's Night School series will walk you through building your first (or second, or third) computer from start to finish. Today, we'll be talking about the first step in any computer build: brainstorming what kind of machine you're looking to make and what that means for your hardware. The Types of Machines and their Ballpark Costs Much like we did in our original spec-crafting feature, the the first thing you need to do is come up with a very, very rough idea of what kind of performance you want from your machine. The easiest way to do that is to split builds...
