Times have changed and information is king but an important area to understand our world is still shrouded in much mystery: remote sensing from satellites. SatNet is an online hub connecting end-users to EOS (Earth Observing System) satellites and information in an efficient, intuitive manner. Currently,
Save3 is a visual feedback system designed for hotel rooms. Comprising a set of smart objects, this system subtly encourages guests to save water and electricity by monitoring consumption and by providing an incentive to conserve.
Save3: Save Power! Save Water!! Save Money!!! Encouraging hotel guests to save water and electricity.
The Save3 system comprises a keycard,
Thanks to its dramatic improvements in aircraft ground collision avoidance, this technology can save the lives of ~100 people each year in the U.S. alone by preventing what is called controlled flight into terrain (CFIT). Accounting for nearly 20% of general aviation deaths, CFIT occurs when a distracted or incapacitated pilot flies a fully functioning aircraft into the ground.
People can calculate the load capacity of a bridge, a car or an elevator. However, how do we know the maximum load someone can carry without causing a long-term damage? In fact, we begin to know when it’s too late! According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission,
In a car accident, driver and passengers will suffer severe injuries; the injuries and damage to spine and spinal cord, impact on the skull, rib fractures, pelvis and leg fractures, shoulder bone and hands fracture, intra-abdominal injuries are considered the car crash injuries that can threaten the lives of driver and passengers.
There are thousands of vehicles sinking into water such as rivers and ponds due to accident related cases recorded worldwide every year. This is because whenever a vehicle hits water, the safety team like firefighters come to the accident site and jumping into securing actions takes time.
Nowadays the usage of fossil fuels has been increasing rapidly, and the number of automobiles also has increased. By this our eco-system is damaged enormously. To reduce this fossil fuel consumptions alternative methods including solar, electrical, CNG’S, LPG’S have been introduced. These methods have reduced damaging of the eco-system to some extent only,
According to the National Crime Records Bureau, the total number of rape cases in India was a staggering 228,650. Delhi, the national capital, accounted for 5234 of those, and in 2011 according to the Ministry of Home Affairs, a total of 24,193 cases were reported. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Organically Derived Security Protocol is a zero knowledge key management (ZKKM) solution for securing ECU-to-ECU communication within the connected vehicle and IoT applications; particularly for transmissions between externally exposed, edge ECU sensors connected to ECUs within the connected vehicle infrastructure. Specific benefits include reductions of communication latency, implementation complexity,
This optical waveguide FBG technology can be used as a sensor to detect and map magnetic fields. Alternately, a known magnetic field can be applied to create a particular optical transmission behavior in the waveguide, thus creating an optical switch or selective filter.
The FBG’s waveguide material is sensitive to an external magnetic field,
