DESCRIPTION:
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) is the technology of the very small,
and merges at the nano-scale into nano- electromechanical systems (NEMS) and
nanotechnology. MEMS are also referred to as micro-machines or Micro Systems
Technology - MST. MEMS are made up of components between 1 to 100 micrometres in
size and MEMS devices generally range in size from 20 micrometres to a millimetre.
They usually consist of a central unit that processes data, the microprocessor and several
components that interact with the outside such as microsensors. Due to MEMS large
surface area to volume ratio, surface effects such as electrostatics and wetting dominate
volume effects such as inertia or thermal mass.
This property is used to detect any motion or change in acceleration due to gravity
or simply called G force. The courier transport system needs to be secured and at the
same time, should be cargo protective such that they dont get damaged during freight
due to physical shocks. The present project deals with designing an activation system for
the protection of such cargo by checking the change in G force. If motion or change is
detected the protection system is activated.
The system uses a compact circuitry build around flash version of AT89S52
microcontroller with a non volatile memory
Programs are developed using Embedded C, compiled using RIDE tool. ISP is
used to dump the code into microcontroller.

SOFTWARE:
Embedded C
RIDE to write code
ISP to burn the chip
HARDWARE:
At89s52 based our own developed board
Power Supply
MEMS Sensor
Buzzer
LCD
ADVANTAGES: Low cost, automated operation, Low Power consumption.
