The importance of measuring species diversity as an indicator of ecosystem health has been long recognized and it seems that satellite remote sensing (SRS) has proven to be one of the most cost-effective approaches to identify biodiversity hotspots and predict changes in species composition. What is the real potential of SRS and what are the pitfalls that need to be avoided to achieve the full potential of this method is the topic of a new research, published in the journal Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation.
Conveyor systems are used in many different places: mail-order firms, parcel delivery services, factories, airports, to name but a few. To improve the speed and reliability with which goods are transported to their destinations, engineers in Saarbrücken are currently developing smart conveyor rollers that communicate with one another.
Nortek Security & Control LLC, a Nortek Company and a leader in the security, smart home and wellness technology markets, introduces the Numera® Home Safety Hub, a next-generation PERS system. The hub combines information from sensing devices such as CO and smoke detectors, and glass-break, motion and window/door sensors with alerts from wireless personal emergency sensors in a single PERS console for seniors or others needing support while living alone.
Some biochemistry laboratories fashion proteins into complex shapes, constructing the DNA nanotechnological equivalent of Baroque or Rococo architecture. Yamuna Krishnan, however, prefers structurally minimalist devices.
A team of engineers from Saarland University are developing intelligent motor systems that function without the need for additional sensors. By essentially transforming the motor itself into a sensor, the team led by Professor Matthias Nienhaus are creating smart motors that can tell whether they are still running smoothly, can communicate and interact with other motors and can be efficiently controlled.
Quake Global, Inc. (QUAKE), a leading provider of IoT and M2M solutions to global markets, announced the launch of a Locator product family for Caterpillar, a leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, natural gas engines, and industrial gas turbines. This self-contained product is designed to remotely monitor non-powered assets worldwide while operating in extreme conditions.
BinMaster introduces the Teflon-coated spike bob, a weight and cable-based sensor specifically adapted for measuring powders and solids material that may adhere to the sensor probe.
Hexagon AB, a leading global provider of information technologies that drive productivity and quality across geospatial and industrial enterprise applications, has entered into an agreement to acquire the GeoRadar division of the Italian-based company Ingegneria dei Sistemi S.p.A, a privately owned company with core expertise in radar-based solutions for multiple industries.
Advantech’s Industrial Automation Group (IAG) is pleased to announce the launch of their complete series of 2.4G WISE-4000 IoT Wireless I/O modules which will revolutionize the way that data is gathered from remote or difficult to wire locations.
The LED vertical integrator Lextar Electronics (“Lextar” or the “Company”), will launch the smart location-based service (Smart LBS). With sensors equipped in LED lighting fixtures in wireless networks, the Smart LBS provides business owners with master data analysis and interactive marketing services.
