Cooperative system could wipe out car alarm noise
The persistent, annoying blare of an ignored car alarm may become a sound of the past if a cooperative, mutable and silent network of monitors proposed by Penn State researchers is deployed in automobiles and parking lots. view more (2008-06-25)
ANALYTICA 2004: Infrared Sensor is Kind to Costs and Environment
The IMM Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH has developed an infrared sensor for the quality control of lubricants in machines. With this sensor, oil and its ageing can be monitored directly at the operating machine. Future fields of application are for example real-time monitoring of large motors, particularly in shipping or compressors.... view more... (2004-05-10)
Wireless ad hoc networks
Developers will be presenting a self-organizing communications network during the e/home trade fair in Berlin. Users can enjoy wireless Internet access or remotely control utilities in the home without having to deal with complex installations or equipment compatibility. view more (2004-08-27)
As high-spec home entertainment goes wireless
A high performance, low-cost wireless home connectivity solution for applications requiring the multi-streaming of high-quality video has been demonstrated by a team of EU-funded researchers. view more (2005-04-07)
Multimode Magnetic Field and Position Sensor from Oxford University
Researchers at Oxford University's Physics Department have developed an extraordinarily versatile proximity sensor for the detection of objects, composed of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, ceramics, glasses and plastics. This new device could be used as a position or speed sensor in automotive suspension, gearbox and engine management systems,... view more... (2002-08-14)
Satellite broadband to boost rural economies
The so-called digital divide that excludes rural communities from the benefits of broadband access could be overcome by using a combination of wireless networks and satellite receivers. A new project aims to bring high-speed internet connections to rural areas of England and Scotland. The system could benefit rural economies and the market for... view more... (2003-10-15)
P2P traffic control
Could a concept from information technology familiar to online file sharers be exploited to reduce road congestion and even traffic accidents? That is the question answered in the affirmative by researchers in California, writing in the International Journal of Vehicle Information and Communication Systems. view more (2009-01-07)
For the future hydrogen economy, a tiny, self-powered sensor
Hydrogen has been called "the fuel of the future." But the gas is invisible, odorless and explosive at high concentrations, posing a safety problem for hydrogen-powered cars, filling stations and other aspects of the so-called hydrogen economy. view more (2006-05-25)
NIST/CSM sensor could help avert pipeline failures
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Colorado School of Mines (CSM) have developed a prototype sensor that quickly detects very small amounts of hydrogen accumulation in coated pipeline steel. view more (2008-10-03)
New sensor provides simpler measurement of eye pressure
On Friday, May 31, Anders Eklund, Department of Radiation Sciences, Medical Technology, Ume'å University, Sweden, will defend his dissertation evaluating a new and simpler instrument for measuring the pressure of eye fluids, a key risk factor in glaucoma. Anders Eklund has a master's in engineering and works at the Unit for Medical... view more... (2002-05-28)
'NMR on a chip' features NIST magnetic mini-sensor
A super-sensitive mini-sensor developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) can detect nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in tiny samples of fluids flowing through a novel microchip. view more (2008-02-20)
Developing countries 'leapfrog' to mobile technologies
Although many developing countries are leapfrogging to new, mobile, wireless technologies as drivers for development different business models are required, according to preliminary findings from a senior industry Think Tank. view more (2005-04-01)
Eyeing the future of ubiquitous computing
A future in which computers become pervasive, unobtrusive and almost invisible is being brought a step closer by EYES, an IST programme-funded project addressing many of the challenges of creating the sensor networks needed to make ubiquitous computing an everyday reality. view more (2004-12-01)
Measuring the next successful antennas for in-body health monitoring devices
Antennas for the latest implanted medical devices are being developed by Queen Mary University of London and tested through a unique piece of kit at the UK's National Physical Laboratory (NPL). view more (2009-09-08)
To be or not to be a mimic
What is the world coming to? An unsuspecting reef fish steps up to have its parasites removed by its favourite cleaner fish, the bluestreak cleaner wrasse, but instead of a thorough going over, it gets a nasty nip from the cleverly disguised bluestriped fangblenny, intent on a quick feed. view more (2005-01-20)
High Speed Wireless Data Transfer from VTT, Technical Research Centre of Finland
VTT (Technical Research Centre of Finland) has developed a fast and flexible radio modem, enabling wireless indoor network. The performance of the modem is approximately 20-200 times better compared to similar commercial (WLAN, Bluetooth) technologies. If compared to GSM and UMTS technologies, the new modem is 5000 times faster than the former and... view more... (2002-09-02)
Sandia fingerprinting technique demonstrates wireless device driver vulnerabilities
The next time you're sipping a latte and surfing the Net at your favorite neighborhood wireless café, someone just a few seats away could be breaking into your laptop and causing irreparable damage to your computer's operating system by secretly tapping into your network card's unique device driver. view more (2006-09-13)
Turfgrass quality measurement improved with GreenSeeker sensor
To measure turfgrass performance, professionals have traditionally relied on trained human evaluators who provide visual assessments of turf quality. view more (2009-09-09)
Iowa State engineer develops technology to quickly find leaks in spacecraft
Tiny meteors flash through space. There's spacecraft debris flying around, too. And so there's a risk that objects just a few millimeters across could pierce the thin aluminum skin of spacecraft such as the International Space Station orbiting 220 miles above Earth. view more (2007-10-03)
