CMOS FABRICATION
For less power dissipation requirement CMOS technology is used for implementing transistors. If we require a faster circuit then transistors are implemented over IC using BJT . Fabrication of CMOS transistors as IC’s can be done in three different methods.
The N-well / P-well technology, where n-type diffusion is done over a p-type substrate or p-type diffusion is done over n-type substrate respectively.
P-WELL PROCESS
The fabrication steps of p well process are same as that of an n-well process except that instead of n-well a p-well is implanted . The process steps involved in p-well process are shown in Figure below. The process starts with the n type substrate

Project Management for Technical Communication Professionalsstcindiana
Presentation to the members of the Indiana Chapter of the Society for Technical Communication, December 18, 2006. Delivered by Greg McCormick on the Project Management Institute methodology and how it can help technical communication professionals better plan and manage their technical documentation projects.
In the recent years the improvement in communication systems requires the development of low cost, minimal weight, low profile antennas that are capable of maintaining high performance over a wide spectrum of frequency. This technological trend has focused much effort into the design of a Micro strip patch antenna. In this paper, we designed a rectangular micro strip patch antenna at 3.8GHz and study the effect of antenna dimension Length (L), Width (W), substrate parameter relative dielectric constant (€r ) substrate thickness (h) and radiation pattern using Ansoft HFSS. It even describes the increasing effect of Gain and Directivity. The Proposed antenna also presents the detail steps of designing the micro strip antenna and the simulated result. The feeding technique used to feed the antenna is coaxial probe feeding technique. Micro strip patch antenna is used in many fields like Antenna and mobile communication, Filters, PCB board model and EMC and EMI. Rogers RT/duroid 5880 (tm) substrate with a dielectric constant of approximately 2.2, is a feed and has a partial ground plane. The gain and directivity of the designed antenna is 7.7082 dB and 7.76882dB respectively.

Workflows are a key component of server side of IoT solution along with Analytics, Rule Engine and IoT device management. IoT focused Workflow tools draw their inspiration of classical workflow tools that exist in market, but focus more on IoT use cases. For example they are able to connect with IoT devices using IoT specific protocols like CoAP or MQTT. Node-RED is a visual tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways. It’s build by IBM Emerging Technology team from group for IoT, though it’s not limited only to IoT.

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.
# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

drive and press reset button of MTUDK2-st.
• Now we should have proper application up and running in our Mbed
board.
36.
37. Tips and tricks
- Device battery life can be extended by using Mbed deep sleep
functionality.
- Mbed will go to deep sleep mode, if main thread is put to wait state.
- Deep sleep is very target specific, make sure no peripheral or timer is blocking sleep.
- Datarate affects to distance/coverage.
- If device is not moving, ADR usage is recommended.
- If device is constantly moving, disable ADR and use fixed datarate.
- Remember duty cycle limitations
- Keep packet sizes small and send packets with long interval to avoid unexpected delays.
- Different bands have different duty cycle limitations
38. Recap
• LoRaWAN is great
• Increased complexity calls for a platform OS
• Mbed OS 5.8 is a great first step, and many more will follow
