The world we in is virtually becoming smaller since living and nonliving things are connected to the internet. Internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interconnected things, each with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to exchange data without the need of human intervention. The rapid growth of IoT is considered the next wave for enhancing services in almost all sectors of life, at low cost and time. This chapter presents IoT in a broader context, in terms of its growth, IoT operating systems, architecture, and future trends of IoT. The major contribution is detailed information of umpteen IoT applications. The various benefits of IoT, matter of concerns with respect to IoT, scope of research work are also discussed. The integration of various technologies is the main enabling factor of IoT, yielding more benefits to society as a whole. Also, supports in understanding implementation technologies and the major applications of their domain where IoT plays a vital role and future problems for next 20 years are also explicated.

By addition of analytical equipment, scanning transmission accessories and data processing equipment the basic transmission electron microscope (TEM) has evolved into a comprehensive information gathering system. This extension has led to increased complexity of the instrument as compared with the straightforward imaging microscope, since in general new information capacity has required the addition of new control hardware. The increased operational complexity is reflected in a proliferation of knobs and buttons.In the conventional electron microscope design the operating panel of the instrument has distinct control elements to alter optical conditions of the microscope column in different modes. As a consequence a multiplicity of control functions has been inevitable. Examples of this are the three pairs of focus and magnification controls needed for TEM imaging, diffraction patterns, and STEM images.

The article deals with a two-channel queuing system with a Poisson incoming call flow, in which the application processing time on each of the devices is different. Such models are used, in particular, when describing the operation of the system for selecting service requests in a number of operating systems. A complex system characteristic was introduced at the time of service endings on at least one of the devices, including the queue length, the remaining service time on the occupied device, and the time since the beginning of the current period of employment. This characteristic determines the state of the system at any time. Recurrence relations are obtained that connect this characteristic with its marginal values when there is no queue in the system. The method of introducing additional events was chosen as one of the main methods for analyzing the model. The relationships presented in this article can be used for analysis of the average characteristics of this system, as well as in the process of its simulation. Summarizing the results of work on multichannel systems with an arbitrary number of servicing devices will significantly reduce the time required for simulating complex systems described by sets of multichannel queuing systems.

With the ever tightening of budgets and legislation, new vessel builds are facing tough times.  The future maritime industry requires more efficient vessels to minimise ship operational costs with cleaner technologies that meet stringent environment regulations, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, specifically carbon emissions. Emissions reduction continues to be high on the agenda for the marine industry, it is responsible for about 2.5 percent of global greenhouse emissions1 and is under great pressure to reduce its environmental impact. With pressure comes the opportunity to incentivize innovation, developments and implementation of energy efficient measures, both design and operational. Naval propulsion systems are no different from other industries, and the industry is exploring ways to optimise propulsion and electrical power generation systems architecture for better performance and efficiency. Electric technology plays a leading role. The paper will: Provide a brief overview about the hybrid propulsion concept, with key electrical, mechanical qualities and issues. Describe different designs configurations and performances of hybrid propulsion systems from demonstrated and operational systems in the commercial and naval world. Cover the lessons learnt in technologies and controls used on such systems. Examine future architectures including energy storage and explore the benefits and the flexibility these can bringto the hybrid propulsion sphere.
