Abstract for E-Instrumentation: An Innovation in Control Engineering
In the industry today, in remote automation i.e. for distributed control systems or SCADA systems, there are thousands of wire that has been routed kilometers from field to control system which costs lakhs of rupees to industries. The E-Instrumentation plan aims to reduced the number of wires to only few wires or even none (wireless), and also remove the barrier on limitation on distance of remote terminal and plant. E-instrumentation helps the plant supervisors and managers to access monitor and even control their plant anywhere in the world irrespective of the location of their plant and that too with secure communication from supervisor to plant.
The system consists of 3 subsystems as follows
Control System - takes care of the control of actual plant and also provide data to the interface system.
Interface System - consists of web server and hardware lock. Web server hosts the company site and is responsible for the communication between the remote user and the control system. Hardware lock provides the third level of the security.
Remote System - a computer anywhere in the world connected to the Internet.
Control System - since this project being a demo model, a simulation of Heat Exchanger loop was developed to act as the control system.
Interface System - the software for communication with the control system was developed on web server. The web server via parallel port activates the hardware lock system.
Security System - A 3 level security system as follows is provided in interface system
Level 1 - a usual username and password type as used in most email sites
Level 2 - at this level, user has to type a sequence of URLs in the address bar of the Explorer
Level 3 - when a user has passed the above 2 levels of the security, a hardware lock in the field is activated which generates and audio-visual alarm in and depending on the position of the key switch, the user is allowed or denied the access
If the user fails 3 times in providing the right information, then user is denied access.
The basic application of the system is to provide Remote Automation. As per plan to achieve this we have to install a web server in control room and then that computer is connected to Internet. But this system can be used to achieve the following target.
As we told earlier that e-instrumentation could reduce the wiring to few or even none this is how we can do it.
Present Remote Automation System:
In recent situation the wires from the field are routed to the control system, many hundreds and thousands of wire are routed to main controllers in the control room. This cost lacs of rupees and due to this the distance of control room and actual field is also limited because as distance increases the cost of wiring also increases.
Remote Automation with E-Instrumentation:
In this system, we can have main controllers in the field itself connected to the control computer and web server in the field itself and then this web server can be connected to a modem Ethernet line or may be a transreceiver. And end terminal i.e. can be anywhere will connect to the web server through Internet or Ethernet line or wireless transreceiver. So this reduces the wiring by thousand times and so is the cost reduced.

Blockchain technology has been the buzzword of the decade, and for good reason. Its impact on the world has been revolutionary, with the potential to transform industries from finance to healthcare. Blockchain is the underlying technology that powers cryptocurrencies, making it possible for secure and transparent transactions without the need for intermediaries. This technology has sparked a wave of innovation and is changing the way we do business.
Cryptocurrency Goes Mainstream: Blockchain Technology
Cryptocurrency has been around for over a decade, but it was not until recently that it started to gain mainstream acceptance. Bitcoin, the first and most popular cryptocurrency, has been the driving force behind this trend. Blockchain technology is the backbone of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, providing a decentralized and transparent way to store and transfer value.
The use of cryptocurrencies has expanded beyond traditional investments and payments, with companies accepting it as a form of payment for goods and services.

This technology is democratizing finance and creating new avenues for investment.
Transforming Industries One Block at a Time
Blockchain technology is not just limited to finance, but it has the potential to transform many industries. Supply chain management has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of blockchain technology. By creating a transparent and immutable record of transactions, blockchain technology can improve supply chain efficiency and reduce fraud. Companies can track their products from the point of origin to the end consumer, ensuring that they are authentic and have not been tampered with.
The real estate industry has also been impacted by blockchain technology. Property titles can be stored on a blockchain, making it easier to transfer ownership and reducing the need for intermediaries. Smart contracts can be used to automate the buying and selling process, reducing the time and costs associated with real estate transactions.
From Finance to Healthcare: The Power of Blockchain
The healthcare industry is another sector that can benefit from blockchain technology. Electronic health records can be stored securely on a blockchain, making it easier for healthcare providers to access patient information. This technology can also be used to track the supply chain of drugs, ensuring that they are authentic and have not been tampered with.
Blockchain technology can also be used to create a decentralized marketplace for medical research. Patients can sell their medical data to researchers, who can then use this data to develop new treatments and cures. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the healthcare industry and improve patient outcomes.
Secure, Transparent, and Decentralized: The Future
The future of blockchain technology is bright, with new use cases emerging every day. This technology is secure, transparent, and decentralized, making it possible for individuals and businesses to conduct transactions without the need for intermediaries.

I wasn’t planning on writing a post on this, but after I spent 4 hours wrapping my head around this and getting it working, I’m hoping this information might be able to help someone else. A while ago, I purchased this TP-Link 3-Way Smart Switch 2-Pack. I purchased them because the TP-Link stuff seems to be reliable, inexpensive, and it works with HomeAssistant. As an added bonus, you CAN use the smart switch on only one side of the circuit, and keep a dumb switch on the other side. You can turn the light on from either end, and the TP-Link will always show the correct status of the light. This allows you to make your 3-way switches smart for a good price since it always comes with a pair of 3-way switches. I wanted to be able to have the light turn on automatically using the Wyze Sense door sensor and a routine via Alexa.

CES 2020 is literally around the corner, and during our live coverage of the tech conference from the Las Vegas Convention Centre, we thought we would discuss the top 5 things we are excited to see at the annual tech convention.
1. Samsung’s Neon and Internet of Things
Samsung has always been a powerhouse of CES, making some of the biggest claims when it comes to the future of tech, and how Samsung would lead the charge. We are excited to see what Samsung has in store for CES attendees this year, including more details on Neon.
Neon is the newest “Artificial Human” product coming from Samsung but the tech conglomerate has promised that this has nothing to do with Bixby – the current smart digital assistant introduced three years ago. So far, we don’t know much about Neon but Dutch tech website, LetsGoDigital, describes Neon as the following:
Entertainment services, namely, production of special effects including model-making services, computer-generated imagery and computer-generated graphics for the production of motion pictures, videos and movie trailers; augmented reality video production; creating computer generated characters; design and development of computer-modeled versions of human beings using computer animation for use in movies, television, internet and other applications; design and development of software for virtual characters; creating for others custom computer-generated imagery, animations, simulations and models used for entertainment.
If Neon were to pan out as a more intelligent interface software between humans and their devices, this could be the major push that Samsung needs to bring their “Internet of Things” ideals to life. Essentially, Samsung aims to have all of their devices connected to the internet, from phones and TVs, to washing machines and fridges, so Neon could act as the central interface system we use to communicate with our Samsung devices. What does this all mean? Well, it means fridges that can order food for us when it runs low, washing machines that can be used remotely, and the general ease of our everyday lives.
2. AMD’s Zen 3, 4th-Gen Threadripper, and Ryzen 4000
AMD has been dominating tech conversations for the last three years with the announcement of the first-generation Ryzen CPU chips. Many met AMD’s announcement with dread – as their previous line-up of FX processors had led many to dismiss AMD as a threat to Intel – but year-on-year AMD has proven to be a fierce competitor in the CPU space, with each generation getting better and better. Even now, many consider AMD to lead the CPU space purely in terms of innovation, especially since AMD was able to get their CPU down to 7nm where Intel is currently struggling on 10nm. As we have seen a new generation of CPU from AMD each year, we naturally expect to see the fourth generation Threadripper CPUs and Ryzen 4000 chips from the tech giant. Even more exciting is the possible announcement of Zen 3, which seems to be confirmed by a Taiwanese newspaper.
Zen 2 brought a shrink from 12nm of Zen+ to 7nm, which not only brought smarter processing from the new data transfer systems but also brought down thermals as well as power draw, which all resulted in significantly better IPC performance. Will we see a further drop in size? We don’t think so, and if there is, it might be minimal. The only reason for this is the fact that figuring out 7nm architecture was incredibly risky – and thought to be “impossible” by Team Blue – so the likelihood of an even further size decrease might not probable. Also, AMD really pushed to get the 7nm architecture stable because they needed a leg up over Intel, and what better way to do that than to break the size limits of their competitors who claimed it was “not possible”. This time around, AMD has regained their reputation, and then some, so they need not take as many risks as before.
3. Health and Fitness
Health and fitness has become increasingly popular at CES in the past couple of years, and it is great to see this particular category drawing in larger crowds. Health and fitness incorporates a lot of technology and innovation as well, considering we mostly use apps and smartwatches to keep track of our exercise routines, as well as record our daily health figures.
We are incredibly excited to see how tech will influence and shape the future of our health and fitness, with improvements on VR cycling – which promises an authentic cycle ride along pristine routes without ever leaving your home or gym – as well as what the future of smart bands and smartwatches is. Healbe even promises the world’s first smart band to track your calories for the day automatically, using their patented GoBe FLOW™ Technology, which will be interesting to see in action.
CES is typically catered to more mainstream technology including TVs, smart gadgets, and more, but with the rise in the popularity of gaming, it makes sense that there is a larger focus on gaming-centered products being displayed at CES. AMD ties into this as they could possibly announce Zen 3 architecture for their Ryzen chips – as we discussed earlier – and we are ecstatic to see what comes of this from third-party manufacturers such as MSi.
Speaking of, we are excited to see what new products MSi aims to bring to market, whether it be a larger-scale incorporation of 240Hz monitors, or even simply an expanded business model on their popular Prestige range of notebooks aimed at content creators and artists – which, again, would be a great adaptation of the new Zen 3 architecture.
Aside from direct gaming products, we are also interested to see how mainstream tech products will be incorporating gaming into their lines, as we have seen with TVs. 8K TVs are expected to make a bigger splash this year at CES, and the promise of 8K has also been made in the next generation of consoles – the Xbox Series X and the PS5 – so we are eager to see just how far gaming has impacted the future of technology.
5. 5G networking
5G networking is the successor to 4G, or LTE, and while there is the promise of it coming to South Africa quite soon, we still have yet to adopt it. However, 5G is still a rather new network, with it being only adopted on a small-scale in the US thanks to Huawei, globally, full 5G integration is still a-ways off. Nonetheless, there will be real-world 5G devices available to play around with at CES thanks to AT&T’s low-band 5G network in Las Vegas, which is incredibly exciting.
5G has further promise than just faster networking speeds for the mobile market, but also extends to autonomous cars, healthcare, and general public use. We are most likely not going to see most major updates when it comes to 5G at CES, as it will most likely be saved for the Mobile World Congress in Brazil in February, but there will still be some mention of 5G at CES, and the fact that we should be able to see 5G first-hand at the conference is exhilarating to say the least.
We will be covering CES 2020 live from Las Vegas from the 6th – 8th of January, and if you missed our announcement yesterday, you can all the details from here.

Portable models range from 3.5-lbs to 12.8-lbs while packing up to 4,500 lumens, resolutions up to 1920 x 1200, and 7,000 hours between lamp & filter changes. Installed solutions offer up to 40,000 lumens and 4K, Ultra-HD quality.
Proprietary technology gives these projectors incredible clarity and support for simulation, virtual reality, and 3D video. For mission-critical applications, dual- and quad-lamp models keep information at your fingertips.
Laser diode technology provides superior image quality and cuts the amount of time and money you spend changing lamps…
Eco-friendly features can push halogen lamps to more than 7,000 hours, but, for full-power applications, you will likely be replacing your lamp after every 3,000 to 4,000 hours of use (at more than $500 each time). By comparison, projectors using laser diode light sources offer 20,000 to 40,000 continuous hours of use with absolutely no lamp changes.
In addition to lowering total cost of ownership, laser diodes offer improved color reproduction and don’t lose brightness over time as quickly as halogen lamps. With no more mercury-containing lamps or chlorine- and bromine-based flame retardants, laser diode projectors are the eco-conscious alternative. Since they don’t produce as much heat as halogen lamps, laser diode projectors run more quietly with fewer fans. Laser diodes come on almost instantly which cuts down or eliminates warm-up periods.


MAKERS flexed their creative muscles at a maker carnival held in the Sino-Finnish Design Park in Futian District on Friday and Saturday.
Organized by Intel China and the Shenzhen Industrial Design Association, the event aimed at promoting exchanges among makers, investors and enterprises in the innovative industry through a roadshow and summit.
The roadshow was held Friday afternoon at the Sino-Finnish Design Park, with nine key projects from Chinese makers. The products included a smart LED light, a service robot and health-care products. The roadshow was an extension of a presentation Thursday of more than 30 projects initiated by the Intel China Mass Makerspace Accelerator.
A makerspace summit was held simultaneously with the roadshow with four speakers sharing their experience in the field of innovative industry.
Dexon Li from the Intel China Mass Makerspace Accelerator introduced the program his company has been doing to match startups with investors. The Intel accelerator has opened 12 makerspaces and built partnerships with dozens of prestigious universities in China since its inception in April 2015.
David Li, director of the Shenzhen Open Innovation Lab, said the combination of makers and crowdfunding is creating huge potential. He said that China’s Internet of Things (IoT) market is expected to grow to 25 billion yuan (US$3.83 billion) in the upcoming five years from about 5 billion yuan in 2015.
Nick Ramil, from U.S.-based company Brinc, a company that supports IoT startups, talked about how his company helps startups turn potential product ideas into a marketable business.
Speaker Benjamin Joffe, general partner of hardware accelerator Hax, noted a different maker climate in China from that in the U.S.
Joffe, who has been in China for seven years, said that makers in China are usually people who try to make products to make money while in the U.S., it’s mostly people who build products as a hobby.
He said the maker culture in China will grow during the next generation with today’s children learning to build things creatively.
Joffe said there are many innovative products in China, but a lack of good business skills.
“A lot of research is done in Chinese universities, and at companies that would create very innovative products. But the problem is people who do this don’t have enough business knowledge or investment support,” he said, adding that nowadays makers have better access to venture investment in China.
“I think what’s needed is giving more visibility to science and research projects, to show there is really interesting technology in China,” he said.

Let's talk about rechargeable hearing aids
Rechargeable hearing aids have been available for many years but in the past have had limited success. The battery technology was not capable of providing sufficient power over a long enough period of time for reliable daily use and with the dawn of wireless streaming it simply wasn’t fit for purpose. More recently this has changed and the rechargeable has really come into its own.
The first breakthrough was the Z Power Silver Zinc system whereby hearing aids could be retro-fitted with individually designed battery drawers and chargers custom designed for different makes of hearing aid. This was designed to deliver a whole day of power from an overnight charge thus dispensing with the need for changing batteries every few days. Dispensers were advised that the batteries would need replacing after about 12 months.
So what are the advantages of the Siver Zinc system?
No more fiddly battery changes every few days
More reliable power - up to 24 hours of use even with several hours of audio streaming
The flexibility to interchange with a standard battery should the user either forget or be unable to charge the aids
The batteries are non toxic, non flammable and 100% recyclable
Aid generally switch off / on automatically when placed in or taken out of the charger
And the disadvantages?
Well in theory none apart from the cost of replacing the batteries annually.
What has been my experience of the Z Power Silver Zinc system?
Not great probably sums it up I’m afraid. Whilst some have had perfect performance it’s fair to say that an equal number have had issues. These have ranged from aids cutting out after a few hours, red lights on the charger indicating that the aids are incorrectly positioned or not charging and batteries that have needed replacement after just a few months. Z Power have addressed the problems via firmware updates to the charger and manufacturers have re-designed their own battery drawers but my feeling is that this is not the future of rechargeables and I no longer recommend them.
Enter the Lithium-Ion rechargeable!
A new generation of rechargables finally seems to be offering us the convenience and reliability that we crave. My first experience of lithium-ion was the Phonak Audeo B R which admittedly I was a little nervous of however it proved to be reliable and has more recently been replaced by the brilliant Phonak Marvel R / RT. I always say if something is a good idea everyone will be doing it and this seems to be so. Over the last few months all of the manufacturers that I work with have launched a lithium-ion system and so far I am impressed. Thye have all of the expected advantages ie easy charging with 24 hours of reliable power plus the benefit of a sealed unit which makes the devices safer when there are children and pets around. Battery life predictions range between 4 and 6 years.
Any disadvantages of Lithium-ion?
There are some concerns about the toxicity and fire risk with lithium ion batteries in general however with the sealed casing and the need for either the Audiologist or manufacturer to change the batteries this is minimised. A minor downside is that if you have forgotten to charge the aids the battery cannot be replaced with a standard zinc air however you can generally get away with a quick half hour charge to top up. The aids are a little more expensive which means it is not a way of saving money on batteries.
Is it for me?
Yes absolutely ! Rechargeable hearing aids are a lifestyle choice best suited to those who are used to the routine of charging mobiles etc overnight and reasonably organised when going on holiday to make sure that the charger and leads are packed. Also great for clients with dexterity or sight problems. This technology is currently only available in behind the ear hearing aids but who knows what the future holds?


Tourmaline Wireless is excited to announce that we are currently in development and Alpha phase testing a SMS Gateway built for goTenna Mesh! We have been working on this project with Richard Myers, Decentralized Application Engineer, from goTenna and Global Mesh Labs since October 2019. Richard originally wrote a post on the goTenna Mesh community forum back in March 2019, describing a rough sketch of how a conceptual gateway could be built utilizing off-the-shelf parts and existing code available in the goTenna SDK. We decided to take on the project late last year and have been working on it in the background for the past 9 months. We are hoping to enter Beta/Friendly-User testing this summer, in late July-August time frame. The first-generation SMS Gateway will include an embedded 4G LTE module and will operate on Twilio's partner cell networks. Future gateways will offer the ability to send messages via the Iridium satellite network and could potentially co-integrate both goTenna Mesh and Pro; as well as, offer the option to use goTenna Pro as a long-range backhaul. Yes, we are pretty excited about this project and can't wait to bring this to you in a finished product format as soon as possible! In the meantime, if you are interested in helping us define the future of this product, please feel free to provide your feedback in the feature survey below. We are also looking to identify 3-5 friendly users that have experience with goTenna products, who would be willing to help test a finished prototype for a few weeks. If you are interested in participating, please fill out the form below. -TW
If you want to help build a more powerful and robust goTenna Mesh network, you should consider setting up a stationary, always-on, relay with backup power and internet connectivity. Sounds like a complicated process, but its actually quite simple! Since goTenna Mesh devices are sold in packs of two, the vast majority of owners will have at least one unit to spare which can be setup as a fixed relay. There are a number of motivations for doing this: First, in a grid-down scenario, neighborhoods and communities will have an immediate backup communications network to rely on. GoTenna Mesh devices each act as individual repeaters, silently retransmitting and routing messages from node-to-node, up to 6 times. This means each stationary relay helps build a more robust network as it extends the reach of the network, allowing messages be delivered with higher reliability. Next, goTenna Mesh users will have the ability to send offline (outgoing) SMS messages to family and loved-ones in locations that still have cellular connectivity. This is possible using the goTenna Plus feature set, which will be discussed later in the article. Another key motivation for setting up a fixed goTenna relay with internet connectivity is you will be helping support and facilitate Bitcoin transactions via TxTenna - providing a censorship-resistant method for fellow users to send and receive payments, in a completely offline manner. We will elaborate on TxTenna specifically in an upcoming blog post - sharing our own experiences and tips on how to use the app.
To get started, here is the current map of where goTenna Mesh units are deployed:
Helium Outdoor Hotspot
At the tail-end of Summer 2019, we worked on a turnkey contract project for Helium Systems - which consisted of building five off-grid, outdoor enclosures to house their Helium hotspots. The outdoor hotspots would be temporarily deployed in a rural, mountainous setting to showcase the Helium network for a potential enterprise customer. Each outdoor hotspot is powered by dual LiPo battery packs, dual solar panels, and a rugged Cradlepoint modem - providing a 4G LTE cellular backhaul. The outdoor hotspot kits also include a high-gain external antenna and telescoping tripod mast. The basic premise is you can deploy these outdoor hotspots anywhere, without any grid dependencies - and quickly "pop-up" a Helium network. The project had an extremely quick turnaround, essentially 6 weeks from start to finish. With such a small window of time, we had to immediately get to work - designing the layout, placing orders, testing, optimizing - all the while keeping a close-eye on part lead-times and shipping dates. We knew everything had to proceed in a seamless fashion in order to pull off the project and deliver on-time! The concept design for the outdoor hotspot is loosely based on the Relay Station that we created for goTenna Mesh, but the power system and entire enclosure had to be significantly scaled up. We had to iterate on the design about halfway through the project, as Helium asked us to change from using their pre-commercial hotspot design to a prototype "Blackspot" unit, which essentially acts a LoRa repeater and does not operate on the blockchain. It was a fun experience working with the Helium team in San Francisco and collaborating with them onsite at the customer's office and event location. You can read more about the project here (see the Trail Rides section)
Feel free to reach out with any questions regarding the outdoor hotspot build! -TW
Adding to yesterday's post on the goTenna Mesh Portable Kit, we also developed an experimental "high-power" prototype for the same energy company. This kit uses a larger Nanuk 915 case, 10-watt amplifier, and higher-spec'd Volatic V88 pattery pack with dual 9-watt (18V) solar panels. Similar to the Mesh Portable Kit, this version includes egress ports leading to an N-type bulkhead connector and solar panel connector. Antenna and solar panels mount to the roof of your vehicle via magnetic base and cables pass through a small opening in the window or door. The concept for this kit could easily be adapted for goTenna Pro, by simply changing out the amplifier and antenna. If you are interested in learning more or would like quote for a custom build similar to the High-Power Kit, please reach out!
goTenna Mesh Portable Kit
One of the product builds that has seen continual interest over the years is the Portable Kit we built for goTenna Mesh. The kit is built upon a Nanuk 905 case, modified to include egress ports which connect to an external antenna (typically a mag-mount antenna) and a small solar panel. The original design was conceived for an energy company operating in remote locations. This portable kit would be stored and utilized in-vehicle, in a completely off-grid scenario. Unfortunately that project never moved forward, so we now use this prototype for testing various configurations around the shop. The current iteration includes a Voltaic V44 battery pack, 6-watt solar panel, modified goTenna Mesh with external SMA connector, and Laird mag-mount antenna. Originally we used a Laird TRA9203 (small stubby white antenna), but have since moved on to the BB8965CR. The solar panel is stored inside the Nanuk case top, behind the foam insert. The solar panel includes magnetic mounts on each corner so it can adhere to a vehicle roof. If you are interested in purchasing a goTenna Mesh Portable Kit or perhaps a customized version, please reach out. -TW
Long-Range Relay Station
Last summer, we set out to build a high-power version of our Relay Station. If you were going to build a better version of goTenna Mesh, which attributes would you choose to improve upon? We decided to tackle range and receiver sensitivity, basically make the goTenna transmit farther and hear distant signals better. We used a 2-watt bullet amplifier that mounts at the antenna (for zero signal loss) and provides 12 dB of low-noise amplification plus receiver filtering. We paired the amplifier with a Laird 6 dBd ISM-band Omni antenna and added separate power supplies for both the amplifier and the goTenna. The amplifier actually uses a DC-injector, which we housed inside the Relay Station's weatherproof fiberglass enclosure. This long-range version is a formidable build and you can expect coverage to exceed 2-3x that of a typical goTenna Mesh unit mounted at a similar elevation. Improving both the forward link and reverse link are impressive achievements in wireless communications, and we are proud with the end results of this product. If you are interested in learning more or would like a quote, please feel free to email us or drop a line on our contact page. We would be happy to run RF propagation plots for your specific location and show you the power of long-range! -TW
Last year, we spent a significant amount of time testing with goTenna Pro... in the field - validating coverage, in the office - learning how to navigate the Pro Portal & create frequency sets, and finally building a portable, high-power relay. We tested both VHF and UHF frequency bands and ultimately decided to develop with UHF 450 Mhz due to the smaller antenna sizes and generally wider selection of available RF components. Below is a photo gallery of our field testing and the prototype relay we built. The relay consists of a vented & cooled weatherproof NEMA enclosure with goTenna Pro feeding a 20-watt UHF amplifier, powered by LiPo battery, and includes telescoping tripod mast with 3 dB omni antenna. The portable relay can be deployed in a matter of minutes and is small enough to fit in the back of a small SUV. The relay provides greater than 2x increase in range and during our tests we achieved 9.5+ miles (>90% reliability) with plenty of headroom to go much farther! We tested between our HQ in Oceanside CA and our favorite high point - Double Peak Park in San Marcos CA.
If you have any specific needs involving goTenna Pro, please feel free to reach out. We would be more than happy to consult on your project and have the ability to rapidly prototype custom solutions. We also offer support with Pro Portal administration, creating frequency sets/QR codes for offline deployment, and RF propagation plots for your specific deployment locations. -TW


Biofeedback The mTrigger® Biofeedback System uses surface electromyography (sEMG) instrumentation to measure the electrical activity produced by targeted muscle groups during therapeutic exercise.
Decreased EMG activity and neuromuscular control inhibit patients’ ability to regain pre-injury functionality. The primary rationale for the use of biofeedback in physical therapy is that monitoring voluntary muscle activation improves accuracy and quality of performance and helps patients make faster progress. When patients begin to use their own electrical system early on through volitional contraction, they gain both motor control and strength, as well as re-educate the neuromuscular pathway. By communicating muscle activity in real time, biofeedback enables the reacquisition of pre-injury performance. (information provided from mtrigger.com/about-the-science/ )

Digital transformation is a phrase that has been used for many years to mean a strategy to update existing systems and connect them to new ones. However, in 2019 and beyond, there is a new kid on the block named Internet of Things, IoT for short.
Often Digital Transformation and IoT are used interchangeably, but they are different concepts. Is your company implementing just one, or are both part of your companies approach?
The Big Difference; IoT vs Digital Transformation
Digital Transformation is first and foremost a strategy, while IoT is the physical product that many companies use to implement that strategy. IoT connects things that are not normally connected to the internet without human interruption. So while a PC, smartphone or tablet may connect often, it generally requires human interaction to take action and wouldn’t meet the definition. However, something like a sensor on a delivery drivers’ truck, or a fitness band, connects without humans needing to start the procedure. These would be considered devices that are part of the emerging IoT world and can be implemented into your digital transformation strategy.
Why use IoT in your strategy?
First and foremost, IoT boasts far better data than anything done by a human. The less we involved humans in the input stage of data, the less margin for error. There will always be a need for human team members in the set
These items can also report different types of data your business may not have thought of leveraging before. Think back to our delivery driver example. A company could track stops, how long each delivery takes, fuel usage etc. from a ‘black box’ in a car. The same company could pair that with a company provided pedometer to see what health risks their driver may encounter, thus giving them a more holistic view of their workers, as well as information for insurance claims and HR issues.
For your marketing team, IoT is priceless. More and more people are leveraging tech-assistants in their day to day life. Marketing campaigns can even center around exactly what your target demographic has been asking Alexa to help them with for weeks! Thus, allowing you to deliver exactly what was needed, when it’s needed, via the highway that is IoT.
So why Digital Transformation then?
As previously stated, IoT is the tool, while Digital Transformation is the strategy. All the information in the world isn’t useful unless you are doing something with it. Leveraging implementation and integration experts to help you bring legacy systems up to modern requirements means you can pair the old with the new. Processing IoT data can help give you new insight into older information and processes, creating a more efficient workflow.
In the end, while we use these terms interchangeably, chances are we mean different things. Is your company using both? Or are you just leveraging one and hoping for the best?


Some new images have popped on the digital landscape called the internet today, showing what the Sony Xperia SP along with its little sibling the Sony Xperia V. It has become customary for each and every device to pop up sometime before its leak, in today’s world there are not best kept secrets. The Sony Xperia SP is shaping up to be a mid-ranged device while the Sony Xperia Sony Xperia SP might be a budget offering from Sony.
Last month the company announced the rather impressive Sony Xperia Z, it truly captured my heart. While the Xperia Z was announced at the CES 2013, the Japanese manufacturer is looking to make the Sony Xperia SP the star of Mobile World Congress 2013. The alleged pictures of the Sony Xperia SP and Xperia V were published by a German site called Android Hilfe. If the snaps are to be trusted, the Sony Xperia SP will look a lot like the previously announced Sony Xperia Z.
However the Sony Xperia SP may not be standing long the Xperia Z when it comes it internal specs. According to the report hailing from the German site, the Sony Xperia SP will be running a 1.7 Dual Core processor. The smartphone will also have a 720p display. It may be less than the flagship smartphone from Sony, but it is not a far cry from the full HD Quad Core Xperia Z. The pictures also show that the Sony Xperia SP is running Android version 4.1.2 and its model number is C5303.
The Sony Xperia SP also seems to have a microSD card slot, which may come in handy as mid ranged devices usually don’t have ample in board storage. The battery however will be locked in the chassis of the smartphone; well you can’t have everything they say. The smartphone, if it’s not a myth will probably be show at the MWC and we will be there to report our findings.
