Robotic systems are opening new opportunities to explore the oceans. Recent advances are improving efficiency, lowering costs, and reducing the risks of marine operations. New automated sensors can observe an increasing variety of ocean parameters of importance for understanding ecosystems, tracking resources or mapping habitats.
A low-cost alternative to research ships
Marine environmental research using surveys from research ships is costly and time-consuming, and can only cover a small fraction of the marine environment for short periods of time at intervals that can span several years. The deployment of relatively agile, low-cost marine autonomous systems (MAS) can complement observations from ships and moored instruments, to bring new insights. In the Western Indian Ocean region, their use has the potential to overcome the severe lack of research vessels, allowing key measurements to be made at a fraction of conventional research cruises.
In SOLSTICE we will use marine robotics to collect environmental data in two of the three case study regions. This will not only demonstrate the power of new, relatively low-cost technologies, but will also collect data that can allow researchers to obtain more reliable information from Earth observation data, and help validate and interpret model outputs.
Building capacity in both the UK and the WIO
SOLSTICE will use gliders and AUVs from the UK MAS fleet, focussed at NOC in a new £3.5M Marine Robotics Innovation Centre, is underpinned by £25M of ongoing capital investment from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). This will allow WIO scientists to experience first hand what is possible with state-of-the-art robotics and sensor technologies. Working in the WIO region, in collaboration with local experts, will also increase the capacity and world-leading capabilities of the UK fleet to address complex environmental issues and ensure maximum societal impact from ocean research; for example, through effective marine assessment for ocean policy and governance.


A computer processor (CPU) has physical cores that run at specified frequencies and provide computational capability. Most modern server CPU's also have hyperthreading (2 Logical cores within a physical core). But a thread is not the same as the core and there is a common question "How much more performance does hyper-threading get you?"
We took 2 pairs of Intel CPUs that were manufactured in a form to be pretty much the same in everything but hyper-threading:
- Same number of cores
- Pretty much the same base and turbo frequencies
- Same architecture generation
- One has hyper-threading enabled and the other does not.
Using Passmark results we can calculate the effect of hyper-threading on
- Single core (turbo frequency) performance
- Multi core (base frequency) performance
|CPU MODEL||HT Enabled||Num. of cores||Num. of threads||Base Freq. GHz||Turbo Freq. GHz||Single Core Perf.||Multi Core Perf.||Diff. in Single Core perf. due to HT||Diff. in Multi Core perf. due to HT||% Diff. due to HT|
- does not have any significant effect on single-threaded performance*
- adds app. 30% in multi-threaded performance
* small differences in performance resemble min. differences in single core turbo speeds (0.1 GHz)
We could implement a term "Effective cores" and calculate it as
Effective Num. of Cores = Num. Of Physical Cores x 1.3
Why is this of interest to us? We run quite a few tests trying to optimize our private cloud infrastructure and our SaaS platform for webhosting websites and webshops. Tests and calculations like this helped us find i.e. the fastest CPU for PHP.


I did an exchange with my great niece in all honesty… She had always wanted an iMac and I had always wanted a MacBook Pro – we both had them, so we swapped.
It is very fast, smooth and was made in 2010… It has an Intel i5 dual-core processor with 4GB of DDR3 Ram memory. The screen, which is 13 inches has a resolution of 1400×900 but when plugged into an external monitor can easily obtain the 1920×1080 screen resolutions. It has a built-in nVidia graphics card which has 250MB and Intel’s graphics which let it run an additional 388MB graphics using the Ram Memory share.
The keyboard lights up which makes it a pleasure to type when it is actually dimmer in the room, ideal for these oncoming winter evenings, and the TrackPad is a doddle to use, providing you know the gestures of the Apple TrackPad and memorise them!
It is running the latest version of Apple’s main computer operating system, OS X (currently OS X Yosemite 10.10.1) and it also has Apple’s BootCamp installed which allows me to run Windows from Microsoft – and I have installed my legitimate version of Windows 8.1 Pro.
I wouldn’t be without it now!


NOAA releases 2013 World Ocean Database: The largest collection of scientific information about the oceans
NOAA has released the 2013 World Ocean Database, the largest, most comprehensive collection of scientific information about the oceans, with records dating as far back as 1772. The 2013 database updates the 2009 version and contains nearly 13 million temperature profiles, compared with 9.1 in the 2009 database, and just fewer than six million salinity measurements, compared with 3.5 in the previous database. It integrates ocean profile data from approximately 90 countries around the world, collected from buoys, ships, gliders, and other instruments used to measure the “pulse” of the ocean.
Profile data of the ocean are measurements taken at many depths, from the surface to the floor, at a single location, during the time it takes to lower and raise the measuring instruments through the water. "This product is a powerful tool being used by scientists around the globe to study how changes in the ocean can impact weather and climate," said Tim Boyer, an oceanographer with NOAA’s National Oceanographic Data Center.
In addition to using the vast amount of temperature and salinity measurements to monitor changes in heat and salt content, the database captures other measurements, including: oxygen, nutrients, chlorofluorocarbons and chlorophyll, which all reveal the oceans’ biological structure.
Also, forecasters at NOAA’s Ocean Prediction Center, part of NOAA’s National Weather Service, use the information from the database for quality control of real-time oceanographic information it distributes.
The database is an important part of the larger Global Ocean Observing System, which is the ocean component of the Global Earth Observation System of Systems – key efforts designed to maintain reliable oceanic information. The data was compiled by scientists at NOAA’s National Oceanographic Data Center, which is part of NOAA’s Satellite and Information Service.

A new study, conducted by scientists at the Medical Research Council Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit at the University of Cambria, was studying patients in a vegetative state and whether they were able to attend to target words. The testing was done through electrical measurements of the patient's scalp while the patient was read a series of words, such as moss moth and worm, and asked to alternatively attend to the word 'yes' or the word 'no'. If the patient was able to attend to the correct target word, the patient was considered aware of their surroundings.
Of the 21 patients that the researchers studied, one vegetative patient was able to filter out the unimportant words and focus on the relevant words that they were asked to focus on.
Using fMRI brain scanning, the scientists conducting the study also discovered that the patient followed simple commands to imagine playing tennis. This suggests that the patient was not only aware of his surroundings, but also able to pay attention.
These findings are hopeful in opening the door to specialized devices in the future that would allow vegetative patients to interact with the outside world.

‘Some government health authorities have recently taken steps to reduce public exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation by regulating use of wireless devices by children…’
Two extracts from an article by Priyanka Bandara and David O Carpenter in The Lancet, December 2018:
Unprecedented human exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation from conception until death has been occurring in the past two decades. Evidence of its effects on the CNS, including altered neurodevelopment and increased risk of some neurodegenerative diseases, is a major concern considering the steady increase in their incidence.
Evidence exists for an association between neurodevelopmental or behavioural disorders in children and exposure to wireless devices, and experimental evidence, such as the Yale finding, shows that prenatal exposure could cause structural and functional changes in the brain associated with ADHD-like behaviour. These findings deserve urgent attention.
At a time when environmental health scientists tackle serious global issues such as climate change and chemical toxicants in public health, there is an urgent need to address so-called electrosmog. A genuine evidence-based approach to the risk assessment and regulation of anthropogenic electromagnetic fields will help the health of us all, as well as that of our planetary home.
Some government health authorities have recently taken steps to reduce public exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation by regulating use of wireless devices by children and recommending preferential use of wired communication devices in general, but this ought to be a coordinated international effort.

Improving AC Noise, AC Cords and System Grounds
• Never bundle speaker cables, interconnects, or AC power cables. Bundling creates serious grunge. If you must run wires parallel for more than a foot, separate them by 6" or more. Wires that cross at 45° or more can touch without any sonic degradation.
• You can’t believe the extra harshness, muddy bass, and grunge you hear due to home appliances feeding nasty high frequency hash into your house AC lines and then straight into your amp, preamp, CD player, etc. No power conditioner, no line filter, and no dedicated AC line stops this hash from “poisoning” your system. To really sweeten your sound, try turning off every fluorescent and halogen light in the house, as well as air conditioning, oil burner, electric stove, dimmer, and CD boombox. Unplug every surge protector, cell phone charger, digital TV, computer, and U.P.S. (because even when you turn them off, their “sleep” mode puts out almost as much hash as their on mode).
• Power cord quality has a major effect on PC, DVD, and server sound and visuals; it has a huge effect on flat screen displays. At a minimum, strip any outer insulating jacket off the AC cord and separate the wires inside by at least 6”. For much larger AC upgrades, see our power cords.
• If you use power strips, use only ones with no surge or overload protection, no on-off switch, and no neon/LED lights. Each of these features audibly degrades sound.
• Most stereos have too many grounds—every 3-prong plug is a ground. Less grounds improve hum AND sonics. Either one ground per system (at the preamp or amp) or none is best. Remove one ground at a time and listen. Use a hardware store cheater plug; attach a 6" wire to the ground lug. Lock the wire’s other end to the hole in the middle of a Radio Shack banana plug [#274-721, plastic shell removed]. Plug each component's AC cord into its outlet via the 2-prong cheater. Plug the banana into the same outlet’s round ground hole. Listen with the banana in, then out. If out is better, eliminate this ground by clipping the cord's ground pin or by leaving the cheater in place (cheaters always hurt sound a little).
• Nearly 50% of components have the wrong AC polarity. Use an unpolarized cheater plug (unpolarize the plug by snipping or filing the wider prong) to turn each component's AC plug in its outlet. Listen both ways. One way will sound noticeably more transparent than the other.
• For any separate power supply: listen, then physically turn the box 90°, turn another 90°, etc. One of the four positions will sound way better (due to the transformer's non-uniform magnetic leakage field). In addition, the separate power supply is even more vibration-sensitive than the component it supplies; click here.


SunPort Solar IoT Device Raises 160% of Kickstarter Goal for Total of $120,599
We’re pleased to announce new SunPort Internet of Things (IoT) smart device surpassed its Kickstarter goal to raise a total of $120,599. Since the spring of 2015, Technica Communications worked with SunPort’s inventors to prepare the company for it’s Kickstarter campaign, as well as build exposure for the product over the course of the campaign. Over 1,676 backers helped SunPort reach its goal on August 20, and surpassed it to a total of 160% of its $75,000 goal by the time the campaign ended on August 27.
In addition to the funds, SunPort’s Kickstarter exposure has opened up new avenues for collaborations with a variety of Fortune 500 corporations, sustainability minded cities and NGOs to explore new applications for the SunPort. New plug-in device upgrades any wall outlet to solar energy using solar micro-credits based on the US Solar Renewable Energy Certificate Program.
“The amount of support from our fans and backers has been overwhelming,” said SunPort inventor Paul Droege. “Less than 1% of Americans currently participate in solar directly, despite its popularity. With the SunPort the other 99 percent can consume solar energy, even if they can’t become producers themselves. Surpassing our goal shows us the demand for solar energy if strong, if people have an easy way to consume it.”
By plugging in a SunPort between any electrical device and any wall outlet, anyone can become a user of solar energy. It works with a smart phone app to track the energy used and refills the SunJoule microcredits when needed. The SunPort upgrades the grid energy consumed through the outlet by tracking the amount of SunJoule microcredits needed to match that energy use. SunJoules are microcredits derived from the Solar Renewable Energy Certificates program developed by the US Department of Energy. SunPort works with a non-profit called ReChoice to purchase the SunJoules, and those proceeds help fund new solar project given to other non-profits at no cost.
“The SunPort operates sort of like an ATM for solar energy,” continued Droege. “When you take money from a regular ATM, the bank’s system matches your cash withdrawal back to your account. Who held the cash before it arrived at the ATM doesn’t matter. You get your own money from the ATM, not because of the particular bills or how they got to the ATM, but because the bank’s accounting system matches the transaction to your account. In the same way, SunPort’s platform guarantees the power you use with it is real solar, not by tracking particular electrons or controlling grid power flow, but by matching your electricity to a real solar source using SRECs.”
Because it is impossible to differentiate the source of electrons flowing through the electrical grid, it is SunPort’s tracking platform that makes the solar energy available without the use of solar panels. By using a SunPort, users can increase market demand for solar by consuming standard electricity while automatically matching it to solar credits at the same time. While using the SunPort is not free, the cost of a solar upgrade is very small, due to the low cost and large size of SRECs. As an example, anything plugged in (up to 10 amps) can be upgraded to solar for under $2.00 a month. Backers of the Kickstarter campaign will receive one year of unlimited SunJoules to use with their SunPort devices, which are expected to be shipped in the Spring of 2016.
Funds from the Kickstarter campaign will help fund a consumer friendly user interface for the smart phone app, as well as gamification features to enhance user engagement and transparency features to add greater social and community visibility. Additionally, final safety testing and certification will also be funded from the proceeds of the campaign.


Across all industry domains (energy, aerospace, transportation, healthcare), customers are demanding new products that are more and more complex and interconnected. These new products must be intelligent, safer, eco-friendly, connected, and remain affordable.
It implies to design and assemble numerous components and sub-components assigned to many experts, in a variety of domains (software, mechanical, electrical, electronics, etc). All these components must fit together properly and collectively realize the expected product’s functions, and finally meet the customer’s requirements.
But, in a classical document-driven approach the system is described by a stack of heterogeneous documents, mainly based on office-based formats. This poses the problem of maintaining the consistency of the whole product definition.
To cope with this issue the architects of a product have to move from a document-driven approach to a coherent, integrated and computational description of the whole system.
A Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach consists in using a formal digital language to specify, design, analyze and verify a system. It enables the implementation of workbenches providing modeling services such as edition, visualization, transformation, comparison, storage, etc.
It allows systems architects to work on a system across the whole spectrum from a business needs perspective, to the physical implementation, including the logical decomposition of the system.
Having both a functional view of the system as well as traceability right up to the physical components ensures the integrity of the system’s description and the full traceability throughout the systems engineering process. This reduces inconsistencies and facilitates assembly by allowing early identification of any incompatibilities between components.
A MBSE approach can also be associated to a graphical notation, so that the system is visually described by multiple consistent views. Synchronized with the model these views ensure the consistency of the whole system’s description.
The model being digital, it is possible to automate many engineering activities:
This digital thread allows systems engineers to explore more alternatives faster, address a broad range of multi-disciplinary concerns in a consistent way, and successfully achieve the correct objectives.


Many of us – – – –
Well, at least in my case ? ever wondered if Bluetooth Technology is part of the Wi-Fi technology, and why its coverage distance is low…
Let’s starts from the Origin of the name, courtesy of bluetooh.com
For how innovative the technology, the name doesn’t sound techie. It’s not an acronym and doesn’t stand for anything. So what does it mean?
Surprisingly, the name dates back more than a millennium to King Harald “Bluetooth” Gormsson who was well known for two things:
1) Uniting Denmark and Norway in 958.
2) His dead tooth, which was a dark blue/grey color, and earned him the nickname Bluetooth.
Ok… ok cool, but what has to do with technology?
In 1996, three industry leaders, Intel, Ericsson, and Nokia, met to plan the standardization of this short-range radio technology to support connectivity and collaboration between different products and industries.
During this meeting, Jim Kardach from Intel suggested Bluetooth as a temporary code name. Kardach was later quoted as saying, “King Harald Bluetooth…was famous for uniting Scandinavia just as we intended to unite the PC and cellular industries with a short-range wireless link.”
Bluetooth was only intended as a placeholder until marketing could come up with something really cool.
Later, they tried renaming Bluetooth with RadioWire and PAN, but the people were more comfortable using the first “Temporal Name Bluetooth”
Now, let’s talk about the concept of Classic Bluetooth
Bluetooth, it’s a wireless (without wire) industry-standard registered in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers under IEEE 802.15.1 It’s a short distance energy transmitted by low powered radios, it’s used to exchange data and handle communication between Bluetooth devices. The Bluetooth concept was developed initially to portable devices like; cellphones, headsets, wireless speakers, headphones, but nowadays is almost everywhere.
It’s a short-range because it covers 30 feet or 10 meters, nothing if we compare to Wi-Fi, today, Bluetooth is managed by the Special Interest Group “SIG”
Bluetooth belongs to the 2.4 GHz frequency group, and it operates especially on 2.45 GHz frequency, right between channels 8 and 9.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
Site Survey is always required, even if the WLAN has been up and running for a while, the Site Survey could be handy to optimize existing wireless infrastructures.
Let’s think about it, one Bluetooth device.- let’s say a hand-free headset couldn’t affect a WLAN., is it? it is right, a single 802.15.1 couldn’t hurt a well-designed WLAN, but what about a call center? imagine dozens or hundreds of headset per-employee, living in the same spectrum, additionally; policies like BYOD
where users can connect cellphones, laptops, tablets, smartwatches, and any other electronic component will impact in a negative way a bad designed WLAN, for example, 2.4 GHz in North America has only 3 non-overlapping channels 1, 6, 11 (very very limited nowadays) if 802.15.1 operates in channels 8, 9 they will interference with the non-overlapping channels 6, 11, it will decrease the throughput, and increase Wi-Fi retransmissions, this bad phenomenon is also called Adjacent Channel Interference (ACI)
Bluetooth Low Energy
Meraki access points with an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy radio have the ability to transmit BLE Beacons, as well as to scan and locate BLE devices. Client devices like smartphones “hear” the BLE Beacon emitted by a Meraki AP, and an app on the smartphone can respond to a recognized Beacon. BLE scanning allows the Meraki AP to listen for and locate all Bluetooth Low Energy devices. The BLE scanner can hear other Beacons, BLE asset tags, and devices like fitness monitors that communicate using BLE data protocols. Refer here for more information.
BLE uses FHSS, hence in order to capture all BLE beacons, you may require an industrial 2.4 GHz wideband sniffer tuned for BLE.
Please take a look into this post to learn how to capture Bluetooth traffic using a Linux machine.
The following tool helps to capture some BLE beacon frames over the air, it could help if you have an access point or other capable BLE device sending beacons;
BLE Scanner is used by not only developers but also users who are using it to find their lost Fitness Trackers and other Bluetooth Smart Devices. You can download it in Google Play here
BLE Scanner 4.0 designed for Apple devices, you can download it in the Apple Store here


Are you looking for a cost-effective way to automate your small-scale industrial operations? Look no further than the unmanaged industrial switch! This underrated piece of equipment can work wonders in streamlining your automation systems without breaking the bank. In this blog post, we’ll explore what an unmanaged industrial switch is, its benefits for small-scale operations, and provide recommendations on some top-rated switches. By the end of this article, you’ll see why an unmanaged industrial switch could be the perfect solution for your automation needs. So let’s dive in!
What is an unmanaged industrial switch?
An unmanaged industrial switch is a plug-and-play device that connects multiple devices in an industrial network. It’s called “unmanaged” because it doesn’t require any configuration or customization before use. This means that you can simply connect your devices and start using the switch right away.
In simple terms, an unmanaged industrial switch serves as a central hub for all your automation equipment to communicate with each other. It allows data to flow seamlessly between devices, increasing productivity and efficiency in your operations.
Unlike managed switches which are more complex and often require IT personnel to configure them, unmanaged switches are designed for easy installation by anyone without technical expertise. They typically come with basic features such as auto-negotiation, auto-MDI/MDIX detection, and plug-and-play capabilities.
An unmanaged industrial switch is perfect for small-scale automation systems due to its simplicity of use and cost-effectiveness. With this type of switch in place, you can streamline your operations while avoiding the hassle of complicated configurations or additional IT support costs.
What are the benefits of using an unmanaged industrial switch for small-scale automation systems?
If you’re running a small-scale automation system, an unmanaged industrial switch can be the perfect solution to keep your setup connected and running smoothly. Here are some benefits of using an unmanaged industrial switch for your small-scale automation systems:
Firstly, unmanaged switches are easy to set up and use. They require minimal configuration out of the box, which makes them ideal for businesses that don’t have dedicated IT staff or significant resources.
Secondly, they provide reliable connectivity between devices in your network. Unmanaged switches work by automatically forwarding data packets between devices without any manual intervention required.
Thirdly, they offer cost savings compared to managed switches as they do not require advanced features such as VLANs and QoS management. This is especially beneficial for small businesses with limited budgets.
Fourthly, because there is no need for complex configurations, maintenance costs are lower than those associated with managed switches.
Most unmanaged industrial switches come in compact sizes that make them perfect for space-constrained environments typical of many small-scale automation setups.
All these benefits make it clear that choosing an unmanaged industrial switch is a smart decision when setting up a small-scale automation system!
How to choose the right unmanaged industrial switch for your needs
Choosing the right unmanaged industrial switch can be a daunting task, especially if you are not familiar with the technicalities involved. However, by considering a few key factors, you can make an informed decision that meets your needs.
Firstly, consider the number of ports required for your automation system. If you have limited devices to connect, then a switch with fewer ports may suffice. On the other hand, if you have several devices to link up at once and expect future expansion of your network, select a switch with more ports.
Secondly, check compatibility with existing equipment such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Ensure that both devices use compatible communication protocols such as Modbus TCP or Ethernet/IP.
Thirdly, look into power requirements and voltage levels needed for your specific application. Unmanaged switches come in different power options such as DC or AC powered switches and multiple input voltages enabling them to support different applications.
Lastly but importantly is durability; choose an unmanaged industrial switch from reputable manufacturers designed for harsh environments like extreme temperatures (-40°C -70°C), vibration resistance and dust tightness(IP30 rating).
By taking these factors into account when choosing an unmanaged industrial switch will ensure reliability in performance and avoid unwanted downtime due to compatibility issues which saves time and money down the line.

Only those crystallites whose bragg planes are at an angle θ with respect to the incident angle will diffract at an angle 2θ with respect to the incident beam (or at an angle θ with respect to the diffracting planes).
An angle dispersive method using a Si monochromator with wavelength λ = Å was employed. The incident X‐ray beam was focused on the sample to dimensions of 20 μm × 20 μm, and diffracted rays were collected on an image plate, scanned, and integrated by the computer program FIT2D [Hammersley et al., ].

If you have an old router that you dont use anymore why don’t you turn it into an access point to strengthen the wifi signal in your home, or outside around the house?
Strengthen the wifi signal using your old router
Why not use the old router to make your existing network better. Sound logical, does not it?
When I needed to live stream something outside of our office, in the basketball field to be exact, I thought I should take a router out to make the internet connection better. It worked and here is how I did it.
Configure the old router to be an access point
Actually the only thing you must do is to access your old router (in my case it was a TP-Link), and just configure it to be an extender of the router you are using in your network. Acting kind of like a wifi repeater.
You can connect the old router first to your computer and log in to it. The IP address it usually uses is 192.168.0.1 and the login and password is most of the time on a sticker at the bottom of the router.
Do some firmware upgrade first, just to make sure the router uses the latest firmware.
After that look in the menu where you can set your router to act as an access point.
Go to Network>LAN on the side menu and change the LAN IP address of your TP-Link N router to an IP address on the same segment of the main router. This IP address should be outside the main router’s DHCP range.
Example: if the DHCP of your main router is 192.168.2.100 – 192.168.2.199 then you can set the IP of the TP-Link N router to 192.168.2.X (X should be outside your main router’s DHCP range), like 192.168.2.11.
Go to Wireless>Wireless Settings and configure the SSID (Network name) which can be the same or different from the main router’s. Select Save.
Then go to Wireless>Wireless Security and configure the wireless security. WPA/WPA2-Personal is recommended as the most secure option. Once configured, click Save.
Go to DHCP>DHCP Settings and select Disable the DHCP Server. Select Save then reboot the router.
And voilá, that’s it your old router is connected to the new one.
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the main router to your TP-Link N router through their LAN ports (any LAN ports may be used). All other LAN ports on your TP-Link N router will now grant devices Internet access. Alternatively, any Wi-Fi device can now access the Internet through your TP-Link N router by using the SSID and Password set up in the above steps.
You can take this router to a further area of your office or outside where the signal is not so strong (in my case to the basketball field, connected with a 30 meter UTP cabel. You will notice that the strength of the bandwith is getting a big boost in areas where the reception was not so strong before, using this old router.

With over 20 years experience backing up our work, we will design and build any layout that your business requires.
Our cabling projects typically involve one or more of these common data cable types:
Cat 6 Cabling
Category 6 is an Ethernet cable standard defined by the Electronic Industries Association and Telecommunications Industry Association. Cat 6 is the sixth generation of twisted pair Ethernet cabling that is used in home and business networks. Cat 6 cabling is backward compatible with the Cat 5 and Cat 5e standards that preceded it.
The Category 6 Augmentedcable standard, or Cat 6a, was created to further improve the performance of Cat 6 Ethernet cables. Using Cat 6a enables 10 Gigabit Ethernet data rates over a single cable run up to 328 feet; Cat 6 supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet only up to 164 feet of cable length. With the higher performance, Cat 6a cables generally cost more than Cat 6, and they are slightly thicker. Cat 6a still uses the standard RJ-45 connectors.
Cat 5 / Cat 5e Cabling
Alternatively referred to as an Ethernet cable or LAN cable, a Cat 5 or category 5 is a network cable that consists of four twisted pairs of copper wire terminated by an RJ-45 connector. Cat 5 has a maximum length of 100m, exceeding this length without the aid of bridge or other network device could cause network issues.
Although CAT5 cable usually contains four pairs of copper wire, Fast Ethernet communications only use two pairs. The EIA/TIA published a newer Category 5 cable specification in 2001 called CAT5e (or CAT5 enhanced) designed to better support Gigabit Ethernet speeds of up to 1000 Mbps by using all four wire pairs. CAT5e cables additionally preserve backward compatibility with Fast Ethernet equipment.
Cat 3 Cabling
A Category 3 cable (Cat 3 cable) is a type of unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable that is used for voice and data communications in computer and telecommunication networks. It is an Ethernet copper cable defined by the Electronics Industry Alliance (EIA) and Telecommunication Industry Association (TIA).
Cat 3 cable delivers good voice communication performance because it provides 16 MHz of bandwidth, which is more than enough for phone calls. It is also popular in network environments where electromagnetic interference is of minimal concern.
Fiber Optic Cabling
Optical fiber is a very thin strand of pure glass which acts as a waveguide for light over long distances. It uses a principle known as total internal reflection. Fiber optic cable is actually composed of two layers of glass: The core, which carries the actual light signal, and the cladding, which is a layer of glass surrounding the core. The cladding has a lower refractive index than the core. This causes Total Internal Reflection within the core. Most fibers operate in duplex pairs: one fiber is used to transmit and the other is used to receive. But it is possible to send both signals over a single strand. There are two main types of fiber optic cables: Single Mode Fiber (SMF) and Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF). The difference is basically in the size of the core. MMF has a much wider core, allowing multiple modes (or “rays”) of light to propagate. SMF has a very narrow core which allows only a single mode of light to propagate.
The Importance of Structured Cabling
An organized cabling system creates a much-needed level of simplicity in your physical network. A well thought out structured cabling plan eliminates the hassle of multiple, unnecessary wiring infrastructures running side-by-side. This means fewer opportunities for device failure, as well as easier diagnoses of any issues that might arise.
A scalable and highly-flexible network provides continuous service and will be able to cope with the high demands placed on it as your business grows. One simple cabling system also reduces power consumption and maintenance costs.
A Future-Proof Investment
Structured cabling creates a reliable infrastructure for supporting your business’ growth. Adaptable and scalable IT is vital in a time when so much of your business relies on technology. With structured cabling, you can rest assured your network infrastructure won’t become outdated and will be ready to support new applications as you deploy them.
A structured cabling system can quickly and easily accommodate moves, additions, and changes which dramatically reduces installation time and ensures optimum adaptability. This level of flexibility also makes the system easy to disassemble and move to a new location should the need arise.
Reduced Risk of Downtime
There is a high risk of human error with multiple, unorganized cabling structures. Simple mistakes can cause workflow disruptions and network downtime — things that your business can do without. A well-planned cabling system is far easier to work with, which means fewer mistakes will be made.

Technology assisted home buying
Technology is increasingly used these days to aid the home-buying process. Keep reading to find out how it improves the home buying experience.
The home buying process has undergone significant changes in recent years due to the incorporation of technology. From searching for properties online to virtual tours and electronic closing documents, technology has made it easier and more convenient for buyers to find and purchase a home. In this blog, we will explore the various ways in which technology is being used in the home buying process and how it is improving the experience for buyers.
Virtual reality (VR) technology is increasingly being used in the home buying process to provide a more immersive and interactive experience for buyers.
One way VR is being used is through the creation of virtual tours of homes. These tours allow buyers to explore a property as if they were physically walking through it, using VR headsets or 360-degree photos and videos. This can be particularly useful for buyers who are unable to physically visit a property due to distance or the COVID-19 pandemic. VR tours can also be a useful tool for real estate agents, as they can use them to give clients a better understanding of a property without having to schedule in-person showings.
In addition to virtual tours, VR is also being used to allow buyers to visualize what a property would look like with different finishes or renovations. For example, a buyer may be able to see what a kitchen would look like with different countertop materials or what a bedroom would look like with different paint colors. This can be a helpful tool for buyers who are trying to decide on renovations or for those who are trying to visualize what a property would look like with their own personal touches.
While VR technology is still in the early stages of being used in the home buying process, it has the potential to revolutionize the way buyers view and purchase properties. It offers a more immersive and interactive experience that can give buyers a better understanding of a property and help them make more informed decisions.
Online listings are websites or apps that allow buyers to search for properties for sale or rent. One of the first steps in the home buying process is searching for properties. In the past, this meant driving around neighborhoods or flipping through physical real estate listings. Now, however, buyers can search for homes online using websites and apps like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Redfin. These platforms allow buyers to filter their searches by location, price range, number of bedrooms, and other criteria to find properties that meet their needs. Many of these sites also include high-quality photos and virtual tours, allowing buyers to get a good sense of a home without even having to leave their couch.
Online listings make it easier for buyers to find properties that meet their needs and budget. They also often include tools like mortgage calculators and cost estimators, which can help buyers understand the financial aspect of purchasing a home.
In addition to being a useful tool for buyers, online listings are also beneficial for sellers. They provide a platform for sellers to advertise their properties and reach a wider audience of potential buyers. Online listings can also provide valuable data on market trends and home values, which can help sellers price their properties appropriately.
Overall, online listings have greatly improved the home buying process by making it easier for buyers to find and explore properties, and by providing a platform for sellers to advertise their properties.
Video conferencing is a technology that allows people to communicate with each other through video calls over the internet. It can be useful in the home buying process in a number of ways.
One way video conferencing is being used is to facilitate virtual showings of properties. Real estate agents can use video conferencing tools like Zoom or Skype to give buyers a tour of a property, answering questions and providing additional information as needed. This can be particularly useful for buyers who are unable to physically visit a property due to distance or the COVID-19 pandemic.
Video conferencing can also be used for communication between buyers and sellers or between buyers and their real estate agents. It can be a convenient way to discuss details of a sale or to ask questions about a property.
Overall, video conferencing has greatly improved the home buying process by allowing buyers to view properties remotely and by facilitating communication between parties involved in the sale.
Electronic signature software
Electronic signature software is a tool that allows users to sign documents electronically, eliminating the need for physical signatures. This technology is often used in the home buying process to facilitate the signing of closing documents, such as the purchase and sale agreement and mortgage documents.
One example of electronic signature software is DocuSign, which is widely used in the real estate industry. To use DocuSign, parties involved in a transaction upload the necessary documents to the platform, and then use their computer or smartphone to electronically sign and initial the documents. The signed documents are then securely stored and can be easily accessed by all parties.
Electronic signature software has several benefits in the home buying process. It can save time and money by eliminating the need for in-person meetings to sign documents. It also makes the process more convenient, as parties can sign documents from anywhere with an internet connection. In addition, electronic signatures are legally binding, making them just as valid as physical signatures.
Overall, electronic signature software has greatly improved the home buying process by making it more efficient and convenient for parties involved in a transaction to sign documents.
3D printing is a technology that allows users to create physical objects from digital models by building them layer by layer. This technology is being used in the home buying process to create physical models of properties, allowing buyers to get a better sense of the layout and design of a home.
To use 3D printing in the home buying process, real estate agents or architects create a digital model of a property using 3D modeling software. This model is then used to guide a 3D printer to build a physical model of the property layer by layer. The physical model can include details such as the layout of rooms, the placement of doors and windows, and the finishes and fixtures of the home.
3D printing can be a useful tool for buyers who are trying to visualize what a property would look like in person or for those who are trying to understand the layout of a home. It can also be helpful for buyers who are considering renovations or additions, as they can use the physical model to better understand how their plans would fit in with the existing structure of the home.
Overall, 3D printing has the potential to revolutionize the way buyers view and purchase properties by providing a more immersive and interactive experience. However, it is still in the early stages of being used in the home buying process and is not yet widely available.
Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that overlays digital information and images onto the real world, typically viewed through a smartphone or other device. It is being used in the home buying process to allow buyers to visualize what furniture and decor would look like in a home.
One example of an AR app in the home buying process is Zillow's 3D Home app. This app allows buyers to use their smartphone's camera to scan a room in a home and then virtually place furniture and decor in the space. The app includes a library of 3D models of various furniture and decor items, which can be rotated and scaled to fit the space. This can be a helpful tool for buyers who are trying to visualize what a property would look like with their own personal touches or for those who are trying to decide on furniture and decor for a new home.
AR technology has the potential to revolutionize the way buyers view and purchase properties by providing a more immersive and interactive experience. It can give buyers a better understanding of what a space would look like with their own personal touches and help them make more informed decisions about what furniture and decor to purchase.
Smart home technology
Smart home technology refers to a range of devices and systems that can be controlled and automated through a smartphone or voice assistant, such as Amazon's Alexa or Google Home. These technologies are being used in the home buying process to make homes more convenient, efficient, and secure.
Examples of smart home technology include:
- Smart thermostats: These thermostats can be controlled and programmed remotely through a smartphone app, allowing homeowners to adjust the temperature of their home from anywhere. Some smart thermostats can even learn a homeowner's schedule and automatically adjust the temperature to save energy.
- Smart security systems: These systems can include doorbell cameras, motion sensors, and smart locks, which can be controlled and monitored through a smartphone app. This can provide homeowners with added security and peace of mind.
- Smart appliances: Many appliances, such as refrigerators, ovens, and washing machines, now come with smart capabilities, allowing them to be controlled and monitored through a smartphone app. This can be convenient for homeowners and can also help save energy.
Smart home technology can be a useful feature for buyers to consider when purchasing a home. It can make a home more convenient and efficient to live in and can also provide added security and peace of mind.
In conclusion, technology has greatly improved the home buying process by making it more efficient, convenient, and interactive for buyers. From online listings and virtual tours to electronic signature software and smart home technology, there are many tools and platforms available to help buyers find and purchase a home that meets their needs. While technology is still evolving and new tools are being developed, it is clear that it will continue to play a significant role in the home buying process in the future.


The Human System Simulation Laboratory (HSSL) at Idaho National Laboratory is a complete virtual nuclear control room created to safely test new technologies before they are implemented in real commercial reactor control rooms. The HSSL mimics both digital and analog systems, which typically support physical controls like switches, gauges, keyboards and touch screens. This one-of-a-kind control room simulator is configurable and can support a variety of real control room formats, and from there test digital upgrades.
How does modernization help the nuclear industry?
The HSSL is part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Light Water Reactor Sustainability Program to safely extend the operating lifetimes of nuclear power plants. This effort includes control room modernization, which can replace aging analog technology to enhance safety and functionality within plants. The simulation laboratory enables scientists to improve control room designs by studying human interactions with digital and analog instruments and controls. The HSSL can offer nuclear energy utilities a low-risk, cost-effective framework for design and modernization.
What is human factors research?
Human factors is a branch of psychology applied to things people use every day – iPhones, Facebook, the turn signal lights on the dashboards of cars. Researchers study how people interact with technology. Their findings and observations inform designs that are intuitive to the human mind. Human factors can be used to improve aspects of nuclear control rooms by examining how operators gather information from indicators and interact with controls.
What can be improved?
A modernized control room will be one that minimizes distraction and lessens the need for operators to ping-pong their focus from panel to panel. Digital displays can be added to organize information from several gauges into visual, at-a-glance overviews of what is happening in a process or system. Updated alarm displays can be made to fade into the background when all is well but turn eye-catching red if conditions turn critical.
How are new concepts tested?
Once designs for new display features are complete, researchers can test prototypes in the control room simulator. Real control room crews run through scenarios, while cameras look on to capture data on operator behaviors. Then, like any good science, it’s back to the drawing board to tweak and improve for maximum usability.

Salesforce DMP Named a Leader in the Forrester Wave report
DSaaS: Big Data On Demand
DSaaS democratizes Big Data, delivering tools and resources required to survive and thrive in today's market.
DSaaS: Tools, Resources, Results
Many companies today lack the data scientists they need to drive their data operations. Many data scientists may lack the data environment in which to test their models and algorithms. Many companies may have great data models to put to use but are unable to bring them to bear within their data platform. Others may want to test their models and algorithms against the great work of others so they might learn and iterate.
Salesforce Data Science as a Service (DSaaS) solves for these challenges and more, helping companies to execute the kind of data science initiatives required to turn raw data into actionable insights and take full advantage of the mountains of data they now collect.
Ultimately, the demand for data science and data scientists far outstrips available resources. With DSaaS, Salesforce meets some of this demand by democratizing access to machine learning and large data sets so that many, not just a few, can experience the benefits and power of data science.
- DSaaS transforms the challenge into a project where machines can be put to work to create scale and deliver rich insights.
- Marketers can use DSaaS to perform sophisticated data science analysis on enormous data sets to find deep insights into consumers and campaigns.
- Further, DSaaS can cull data from Salesforce’s cloud in privacy-safe, aggregated, analysis-ready formats and combine it with analytical models and algorithms from any source.
DSaaS is comprised of two interlocking components: Feed, for data access, and Kognitive, for machine learning and analytics.
Feed provides companies with a set of open interfaces and transport protocols for people data. Salesforce Feed includes:
- programmatic API’s for discovery, transport, and certification of data;
- gateway services that Salesforce partners and customers can use to activate new data-driven offerings; and
- access to normalized people data in analysis-ready, aggregated, anonymized, privacy-safe formats.
These capabilities enable companies to transport large volumes of data quickly and seamlessly in a privacy-safe manner, allowing them to fuel third-party applications and services.
Kognitive is the technology framework Salesforce has built that enables customers and partners to coordinate large data science projects in a cooperative, distributed fashion. Kognitive includes:
- a combination of capabilities that allows companies to apply algorithms and to uncover insights from the massive data flowing through Salesforce DMP's platform;
- access to Salesforce’s proprietary algorithms and models; and
- the ability for customers to develop, deploy, and test their own models inside Salesforce Kognitive.
As always, data governance is paramount, with Kognitive relying on the same governance methods Salesforce uses for data activation and access, but now carried into the realm of algorithms and models. Kognitive does this because algorithms and models are, like data, a precious asset, IP that needs to be unleashed, on times, terms, conditions of a company’s choosing.

Do you know that your computer can be easily compromised or hacked by many ways ? You can prevent that using better security applications. Rootkit access is the one of that way, which is designed to hide the existence of certain processes or programs from normal methods of detection used by Security applications and system itself. Rootkit enables continued privileged access to a computer. This Rootkit could be installed automatically, also it could be installed via attacking your computer and get the password of the system.
Rootkit detection and removal is very difficult. Because it is stealthy program, escapes from all system scan and also it resides in kernel of the system( kernel is the main component of most computer operating systems). So you have to reinstall your Operating system or you have to re-format your entire hard disk to remove the Rootkit programs.
Then How to Remove the Rootkit Application
Rootkit detection needs much more advanced techniques including signatures , integrity checking , difference-based detection, and behavioral detection. Here, I’ve listed the best free Rootkit detection and removal security applications that will done all the above approaches and will clear the whole Rootkit applications associated with malware programs and secure your system from intruders.
