Data Communication Based on MQTT in a Polymer Extrusion Process

Abstract:
A secure free-space optical (S-FSO) communication system based on data fragmentation multipath transmission (DFMT) scheme is proposed and demonstrated for enhancing the security of FSO communications. By fragmenting the transmitted data and simultaneously distributing data fragments into different atmospheric channels, the S-FSO communication system can protect confidential messages from being eavesdropped effectively. A field experiment of S-FSO communication between two buildings has been successfully undertaken, and the experiment results demonstrate the feasibility of the scheme. The transmission distance is 50m and the maximum throughput is 1 Gb/s. We also established a theoretical model to analysis the security performance of the S-FSO communication system. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first application of DFMT scheme in FSO communication system.

Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...
