Application and Domain Specific: Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU): ECUs are specifically designed for controlling the operation of an internal combustion engine in vehicles. They are tailored to the automotive domain and are optimized for tasks like fuel injection, ignition timing, and emission control. b. Medical Infusion Pump: Infusion pumps in healthcare are designed for the specific domain of administering controlled doses of medication or fluids to patients. They are programmed to deliver precise amounts of medication based on patient-specific parameters, making them application-specific. Reactive and Real Time: Elevator Control System: Elevator systems must react in real time to user inputs (button presses), control elevator car movements, and ensure safe and efficient transport. Delays or non-responsiveness can lead to inconvenience or safety issues. b. Traffic Light Controller: Traffic light controllers react in real time to the presence of vehicles and pedestrians at intersections. They must change the signal lights promptly to manage traffic flow efficiently and prevent accidents. Operates in Harsh Environment: Deep-Sea Submersible Vehicle: These vehicles are designed to operate in the extreme and harsh environment of the deep ocean, where they face high pressures, low temperatures, and corrosive saltwater. Embedded systems within them are ruggedized to withstand these conditions. b. Space Probe: Space probes, like the Mars rovers, operate in the harsh environment of outer space and planetary surfaces. They must withstand extreme temperatures, radiation, and vacuum conditions, making their embedded systems highly resilient. Distributed: Home Automation System: A home automation system may consist of multiple embedded devices (e.g., smart thermostats, security cameras, and lighting controllers) that communicate and coordinate their actions across a distributed network to provide seamless automation and user control. b. Industrial Control System (ICS): In manufacturing, ICS often comprises embedded controllers distributed throughout a factory. These controllers communicate to manage and optimize various processes, such as production lines and robotics. Small Size and Weight: Wearable Fitness Tracker: Fitness trackers are small, lightweight devices equipped with embedded systems. They are designed to be comfortably worn on the body and provide real-time fitness monitoring without being bulky or burdensome. b. Drone Flight Controller: Drones require small and lightweight flight controllers to maintain stability and control. These controllers include embedded systems that process sensor data and make rapid adjustments to keep the drone airborne. Download 390.08 Kb. Share with your friends:
