Start from the design
When I received the Hummer S simple electric bicycle, I felt that it was very compact, and it didn't take up much space whether it was at home or in the office. This fits the needs of urban young people like me. After all, a one-square-meter house in a city is worth a lot of money. If it takes up too much space, it will make people feel that the room becomes very small.
The Hummer S simple electric-assisted bicycle is a reduced version of the bicycle. It seems to be about the same size as the bicycle I ridden in junior high school. The black design feels more atmospheric. For white-collar workers, using it as a daily travel tool will still attract a lot of people's attention.
The overall design of this car is made of a very strong metal material. In terms of design, the Hummer S simple electric bicycle has the battery built in the beam of the frame, which not only saves space, but also makes the overall design of the car more Lightweight and beautiful. In addition, because it has a built-in battery, its safety and durability are largely guaranteed. And its body is integrated with the electronic control system and the charging system, which is very integrated.
In the operating area, Hummer S simple electric-assisted bicycle can be considered to be comprehensive. When you use it for the first time, move the operating area to your suitable range to ensure the comfort of using these buttons during riding. In the operating area, there are switches, lights, speakers, and buttons for selecting speed. Even the first time I used it, I was able to understand the functions of all the buttons at a glance. As long as you can ride a bicycle, I think there is no barrier to using Hummer S simple electric bicycle. If there are any shortcomings, it is that the operating area of the Hummer S simple electric bicycle is made of plastic material. The texture is almost meaningless, but it can meet the needs of use. Electric bicycles are available. What kind of bicycles are needed? Yeah, right.
Of course, you need to pay special attention to the fact that there is a power display on the display in the handle operation area, and you should always pay attention to its power when riding.
In order to allow users to set the height that suits their own habits, the Hummer S simple electric-assisted bicycle can adjust the height of the seat cushion and the height of the handlebar. For users of different heights, they can get a better experience.
On the seat cushion, the Hummer S simple electric bicycle adopts an ergonomic design. There is a deep hole design in the middle. This may be designed to increase heat dissipation and ensure the comfort of riding. It is good when riding. Experience.
In the selection of tires, the two Hummer S tires have a diameter of 20 inches and a width of 4.0 inches. Such tires have a good shock absorption effect on daily roads. I have ridden a small-wheeled portable electric car before, but because the wheels are small, it will make you feel very bumpy during the ride. When you encounter some complex road conditions, you have to slow down to pass. The Hummer S simple electric-assisted bicycle's tire selection is considered to be the larger of the portable electric bicycles, so the riding effect is not bad, at least my daily office trip is adequate.
As we all know, the larger the front chain disc, the smaller the rear chain disc, the faster the riding speed will be. The Hummer S simple electric bicycle adopts the design of the large chain disc in the front and the small chain disc behind it. This design can ensure that during the riding, even the wheels are small, there will be a fast speed.
Of course, whether it is the appearance or the feeling of riding, the most important thing about an electric bicycle is safety. If it is not safe, the rest is useless. The Hummer S simple electric-assisted bicycle adopts front and rear double disc brakes with a brake power-off system, which means that when braking, the electric bike will power off itself and also turn on the brake system. In the process of use, you can feel that the brake system of Hummer S simple electric bicycle is very sensitive. Press the brake to the end and it will stop directly. In the face of the intricate traffic environment, Hummer S simple electric bicycle is sufficient.
Talk about use
In terms of appearance, the Hummer S simple electric bicycle has a light appearance and relatively high-quality workmanship. I was quite satisfied when I first used it. In the process of using it for half a month, the Hummer S simple electric bicycle has many advantages in riding.
First of all, in terms of riding experience, Hummer S simple electric bicycle has bicycle mode, electric bicycle mode and hybrid mode. The three modes can ensure a better experience when riding. And for the working party, the use of electric mode on roads that need to pass quickly, and the use of bicycle mode on roads with a lot of people can ensure the safety of riding.
When encountering some steep slopes with relatively high inclination, you can use the hybrid mode of self-propelled and electric, which can ensure that there will be no slipping during riding. Some portable electric vehicles may slip during the climbing process due to lack of power. I have never experienced such a situation even when facing a 60° slope during use.
In the electric mode, the Hummer S simple electric-assisted bicycle is not different from ordinary electric bicycles. You can get a good speed by simply twisting the switch of the electric bicycle. And if it is in the riding mode, compared to the small blue bicycle, the bicycle mode of the Hummer S simple electric bicycle will be more laborious to use, which should be related to the continuous shooting of you and the tire size.
In terms of battery life, the Hummer S simple electric bicycle uses a 12Ah high-capacity battery, which can theoretically reach 50-60 kilometers. In the actual experience process, the place of work and the place of home are about 10 kilometers, so for the sake of safety, I always charge once a day.
But if you are walking around in the city, sometimes running errands, you can charge it once a week. However, even without electricity, it can be used as a bicycle, so there is no need to worry about battery life.
Also because of its small size, it will not take up much space to push the Hummer S simple electric bicycle into the office. Riding every day is directly into the office, also thanks to the strength of this car, I was often late for the previous month, this half month was on time and full attendance.
In general, the Hummer S simple electric bicycle has a light but sturdy shape design. Although the tires are not large, they actually perform well in either electric mode or riding mode. I am also satisfied with the difficulty of operation and the design of custom settings, so for such an electric car, I personally think it is worth buying. Of course, there are also shortcomings. For example, the wheels do not have a board to block the stolen goods. When the road is muddy, it will easily stain the trousers.

Wearable Technology Applications in Healthcare
The world of healthcare is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and wearable technology is one of the driving forces behind this transformation. These innovative devices, from smartwatches to fitness trackers, have become fashion statements and indispensable tools for monitoring and improving health.
In this article, we will explore the wide-ranging applications of wearable technology in healthcare, highlighting how these devices are revolutionizing the industry.
Remote Patient Monitoring
Wearable technology has made it possible to remotely monitor patients, allowing healthcare providers to closely monitor their conditions without the need for frequent in-person visits. This is particularly crucial for individuals with chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension.
For instance, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) track blood sugar levels in real-time, providing valuable data for diabetes management. These devices alert patients and healthcare professionals to dangerous fluctuations, enabling timely interventions and reducing the risk of complications.
Personalized Fitness and Wellness
Wearable fitness trackers have become ubiquitous, motivating individuals to lead healthier lives. These devices, equipped with accelerometers, heart rate sensors, and GPS technology, provide insights into physical activity levels, sleep quality, and stress levels.
Users can set goals, track progress, and receive actionable recommendations for improving their well-being. In doing so, wearable technology empowers individuals to take charge of their health and make informed lifestyle choices.
Medication non-adherence is a significant challenge in healthcare, leading to worsened health outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Wearable technology solves this problem by providing medication reminders and tracking adherence.
Smart pill dispensers, for example, dispense medications at specified times and send notifications to patients’ smartphones. Some wearable devices can also monitor medication intake through sensors and provide adherence data to healthcare providers.
Emergency Response and Fall Detection
For elderly individuals or those with mobility issues, falls can have severe consequences. Wearable devices with built-in accelerometers and gyroscopes can detect sudden movements indicative of a fall. In the event of a fall, these devices can send alerts to caregivers or emergency services, ensuring rapid assistance and potentially saving lives.
Mental Health Support
Mental health is a growing concern worldwide, and wearable technology is stepping in to provide much-needed support. Devices like smartwatches can monitor heart rate variability, sleep patterns, and activity levels, valuable indicators of emotional well-being.
Furthermore, wearable apps and sensors are being developed to help individuals manage stress and anxiety through guided breathing exercises, meditation prompts, and biofeedback. These tools empower users to take proactive steps in managing their mental health.
Wearable technology enhances postoperative care by allowing physicians to monitor patients after surgery closely. Smart garments equipped with sensors can track vital signs, movement, and wound healing progress. This real-time data helps healthcare providers identify complications early and adjust treatment plans accordingly.
Health Data Integration
Interoperability is a significant challenge in healthcare, with patient data often scattered across various electronic health record systems. Wearable technology can help bridge this gap by seamlessly integrating health data into healthcare ecosystems.
Physicians can access a patient’s wearable-generated data alongside traditional medical records, enabling a more comprehensive view of their health. This integrated approach fosters better-informed decision-making and promotes continuity of care.
Early Disease Detection
Wearable devices are increasingly being used for early disease detection and prevention. For example, researchers are developing wearables capable of detecting early signs of conditions like atrial fibrillation, a leading cause of stroke. By continuously monitoring heart rhythms, these devices can identify irregularities and prompt users to seek medical attention.
Clinical Trials and Research
Wearable technology is also significantly impacting clinical trials and medical research. Researchers can collect real-world patient data in a non-invasive manner, allowing for more extensive and diverse study populations.
Additionally, wearables enable remote monitoring of study participants, reducing the need for frequent clinic visits and improving patient retention. This streamlined approach accelerates the pace of medical research and enhances our understanding of various diseases.

It is imperative to first take a look at what mobile and wireless technologies entails. Mobile technology, as the name implies, is portable technology. Devices with this kind of technology are easy to carry and move around with them, in bags or pockets. They represent one of the most convenient gadgets we have at the moment. These devices include, laptops, tablets, smartphones etc. Wireless technology, as the name implies, does not use wires to transmit waves. It has been widely used since 1876 and with every passing decade, more and more features and options are added to this life changing technology. Examples include Bluetooth, WI-FI, wireless router etc.
Mobile and wireless technology has come a long way to becoming one of the most sought after technology in the world today. With its wide variety in applications, in different industries, it has made the running of most businesses easier.
This may sound untrue but wireless technology goes back over a century. Nikola Tesla, a scientist, was the first to send information through the air without a wire. Gugliermo Marconi, another scientist managed to send radio transmission across the English Channel in 1901. This later opened opportunities to the public use of radio in 1907. This gave birth to FM transmission courtesy of Edwin Armstrong, and then later Andrew Viterbi introduced CDMA. The rest as they say is history.
Merge of mobile devices with wireless technology has brought about some amazing inventions and applications over the past few years. I will take a look on a couple of these applications on a slightly deeper scale.
4G simply means fourth generation. Compared to the older version, 3G, 4G represents a significant improvement especially in the removal of IP address. This technology provides ultra –broadband access for mobile devices hence increased rates in data transfer. One important 4G feature is the elimination of parallel circuit-switched and packet-switched network nodes. In other words, it does not support ordinary voice phone service.
However, it supports other modes of communication comfortably, and one good example is social media communication. Communicating with people from other parts of the world has never become easier than today.
For a piece of technology to achieve 4G status, the rates must be close to one hundred megabits per second for a user on a highly mobile network and one gigabits per second for a user with local wireless connection.
Driverless Cars/ Machine
It has been projected that by 2018, getting picked up in a car without a driver will be something not worth writing about. We have already seen drones flying thousands of miles from their station. This has been made possible by advancements in wireless technologies. Very soon, these driverless gadgets may be well delivering packages to residential houses and maybe office buildings.
As we speak, autonomous (self-driving) cars have been allowed on the road but as of this year, no car has been permitted on public roads fully autonomous. This means a human must be at the driver’s seat ready to take control of the vehicle when required. These cars use techniques to sense and detect their surroundings such as radar, laser light, GPS e.t.c. Advanced systems have also been put in place to identify appropriate navigation paths. These systems are also capable of sensing and distinguishing between different cars on the road.
A smart city is an urban development that is always connected, adaptive, auto managed and well informed. Examples of such cities are London, Singapore, Barcelona. Advanced wireless technologies have played a significant role in the emergence of such cities. Most operations in these cities are well run by strong communication infrastructure such as Wi-Fi networks, GPS, sensors e.t.c.
In addition, features such as cloud computing and crowd sensing connects numerous devices on a massive scale. This enhances the quality of life for the people living in these cities. With new wireless solutions cropping up every day for smart cities, the benefits of wireless connectivity can only become more substantial in years ahead.
Mobile Banking Technology
Wireless technology is slowly taking over the global banking system. Banks are finally but gradually accepting technology as a tool of internal operations. Over the years, consumer interest has been focusing on internet banking, mobile banking; and even though the expected level in terms of popularity has not been reached yet, it is slowly gaining ground.
The opportunities and potential of mobile banking seems endless. Banks started rolling out wireless communication tools with their customers. These tools sent short messages to the account holders’ mobile phones. The messages were simple alert messages on any activity in their accounts. Later another application was introduced that enabled bank customers to gain access to more information on their accounts such as the account balance and bank account statement.
As of 2017, some banks have warmed up to using wireless channels as a means to conduct transactions in real time. This includes wireless transfer of funds from one bank account to another.
Exciting times ahead
Mobile devices have completely revolutionized the way we communicate and transact business. Accompanied with groundbreaking wireless technologies and inventions, the sky is the limit.
Major improvements expected ahead such as the introduction of 5G technology. Hopefully this will come to life sooner rather than later. This will lead to more open doors to more opportunities and more applications at our disposal.

Conduct Disturbance Immunity (CS)
The immunity of conducting disturbance is an important test to measure the EMC index of the equipment under test (EUT). At present, the test of this project in China is mainly based on the GB/T17626.6:2008 standard, which is about the resistance of the equipment to the conduct disturbance from the 9KHz~80MHz frequency range. The equipment is coupled with RF by at least one cable (such as power line, signal line, ground line etc.), and the actual test frequency is usually 150 KHz ~ (80) MHz. Its test configuration diagram is as the following:
Conduct Disturbance Immunity Test Configuration Diagram
1. The purpose and application of conducting disturbance immunity test.
The main source of disturbance involved in the GB/T17626.6:2008 standard is the electromagnetic field generated by the RF transmitter in the 9kHz~80MHz frequency range. The electromagnetic field acts on the wiring lines, communication lines and interface cables of electrical and electronic equipment, which may be as long as several wavelengths of the interference frequency, so the leads become passive antennas. By receiving the induction of the external electromagnetic field, the lead cable can coupling the external interference to the device by conducting mode (eventually, disturb the device in the form of near field electromagnetic formed by the RF voltage and current), finally affect the normal operation of the equipment. Therefore, the purpose of this standard is to establish a public reference for evaluating the resistance to conduct disturbance of RF field induction, and to provide a basic reference for the professional technical committee or the users and manufacturers of the products concerned.
2. Conduct disturbance immunity test arrangement and test
1) Typical test arrangement is as follows:
a. Where coupling and decoupling devices are required, the distance between them and the equipment to be tested should be between 0.1 and 0.3m, and be connected to the reference connection floor. Connection cables between coupling and decoupling devices and the equipment to be tested shall be as short as possible and shall not be tied or coiled.
b. Other grounding terminals of the tested equipment should also be connected to the reference floor by coupling and decoupling network CDN-M1.
c. For all tests, the total length of cable between the tested equipment and the auxiliary equipment (including any internal cable of the coupled decoupling network used) shall not exceed the maximum length specified by the manufacturer of the equipment under test.
d. If the device under test has a keyboard or portable attachment, the simulated hand should be placed on the keyboard or wound around the attachment and connected to the reference connection floor.
2) Test Procedure
a. The equipment to be tested shall be tested under expected operating and climatic conditions. Record the ambient temperature and relative humidity at the time of the test.
b. The calibration of the test system should be carried out before each test to avoid test error and ensure that the system meets the necessary common mode impedance.
c. The test signal generator is connected to the coupling device (coupling and decoupling network, electromagnetic clamp, current injection probe) in turn.
d. Grade of test level is set according to requirement, the range of sweep frequency is from 150kHz to 80MHz or 230MHz, 1kHz sine wave is used to modulate the amplitude and the modulation rate is 80% to the level of modulated interference signal. When sweep with frequency increasing progressively, the step size should not exceed 1% of the previous frequency. At each frequency, the resident time of the amplitude modulated carrier shall be no less than the necessary time for the operation and response of the device to be tested, but the minimum shall not be less than 0.5s. Sensitive frequencies (e.g. clock frequencies) should be analyzed separately.
3) Evaluation of test results
The test results shall be classified according to the loss of function or deterioration of the performance of the tested equipment, it is related with the performance level specified by the manufacturer and the demand-side of the test, or by the agreement of the manufacturer and the buyer of the product. The recommended categories are as follows:
a. Normal performance in the limits imposed by the manufacturer, the demand side or the buyer.
b. Temporary performance degradation and loss of function after termination of interference, and no artificial intervention until the device under test resumes its normal performance.
c. Temporary performance degradation and loss of function, recovery requires human intervention.
d. Failure of hardware or software, or loss of data, resulting in unrecoverable degradation of performance and loss of functionality.


What are Oil-Filled Capacitors?
Oil-Filled Capacitors supplied today contain non-PCB oil and are a UL recognized component. Oil-Filled capacitorsare only supplied with ballasts where the capacitor operating voltage cannot be satisfied by Dry Film Capacitors. When required, the capacitor discharge resistor is connected across the capacitor terminals.
Additional precautions must be taken when an oil filled capacitor is installed. Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) requires clearance of at least 3/8 inch above the terminals to allow for expansion of the capacitor in the event of failure.
The maximum case temperature for Oil-Filled Capacitors is 90C.

The Jasco Group
The world is constantly changing and businesses face the challenge of keeping up with emerging trends, technology developments, market influences and global issues. Amidst these challenges companies must still deliver exceptional products and services in order to remain competitive in a highly pressured economy.
This has given rise to new technology and approaches, of which convergence is most notable. Convergence is a term that is most often applied to the ICT space, when referring to the blurring of boundaries between data and voice. However, in today’s world the word has come to mean so much more.
The growth of IP has not only enabled voice traffic to run over data networks, but led to the emergence of a host of other technologies as well. IP is driving convergence to an unprecedented level. From digital broadcasting to security, intelligent building management and hosted services, there is hardly a solution available today that cannot be integrated and run over a data backbone.
At Jasco, we understand how the world is changing, and we have adapted ourselves to meet the current and future needs of business. We understand all too well that convergence is not just about ICT anymore, and we have structured ourselves to deliver an integrated solutions offering across the ICT, Industry and Energy sectors.

My areas of expertise and interest include embedded systems programming, avionics, user interface design, information packaging for presentation and re-use, device drivers, computer and video graphics, communications and Internet protocols, system/portable core library development, performance tuning, language design and implementation, and scientific programming.
My electronics development experience includes a weather monitoring network, avionics, test equipment and software, and energy management systems. I'm also knowledgeable and interested in video and imaging technology. While I have more experience on the digital design than analog design, I have designed analog interfaces and specialized test equipment that met requirements for operation over broad temperature ranges with specific error limits. I have also worked with RF test equipment up through microwave frequencies. I've worked extensively with the 80x86, Microchip PIC and dsPIC, and Z80 processor familes. I am also familiar with most other processor and DSP architectures. I am currently working on several Arduino (Atmel and PIC32) and Raspberry Pi (Arm) based projects. I've designed with PLDs and FPGAs. I have experience with AutoCAD, DesignSpark PCB, and P-Cad, as well as other CAD software for both mechanical and circuit board layout/design. I've developed test suites for custom ICs and assemblies as well as complete products.
I have written and updated manuals for hardware and software products. I also served as technical reviewer for two books, Beginning C for Arduino, and Beginning Arduino, 2nd Edition, working with the authors to insure technical accuracy before publication.
In 1993 I co-founded Weather Metrics with Peter Levy, developing our ideas from concept into successful products for the weather and television industries. More recently, I collaborated with Sheldon Levy to develop and market a new product, IntuiSwitch, for the model railroad market. I have also worked with a variety of clients as an independent consultant, as BKL Consulting.
While my college education was in the fields of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, I learned much from students majoring in graphic arts while living in Hashinger Hall, a residence hall for the creative arts. I have continued to pursue the interest that sparked, taking classes in drawing and collage, designing newsletters, websites, event programs, posters, mailings, handbills, signage, maps, certificates, t-shirts, buttons, and exhibit catalogs. My years of experience in photography have also enhanced my eye for design and composition.
Most of my graphic design experience has been for pieces emphasizing the clear communication of information, rather than fine art. I am experienced at minimizing production costs, and designing color pieces that still print well in black and white. I also understand the design requirements, issues, and limitations of different media and processes, which allows me to optimize designs to maximize the output quality for the intended media. I have experience with Adobe (Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, InDesign, Pagemaker, Dreamweaver, Flash) and Corel (Draw, Photo-Paint, Paint Shop Pro) design software.
Here are links to some samples of my graphic design work:Logos:
I combined my graphic and engineering/documentation interests to create a font that makes it easier to document equipment with 7, 14, and 16 segment displays. You can read more about the font (and see examples) here.
I took a relatively early interest in the World Wide Web due to my long-standing interest in information architecture and user interface design. Constraints of a partly rural target audience (for whom web access was frequently a toll call), and limited host features led to an emphasis of quick-loading content and conveying information than on glitz. My more recent web work has taken advantage of hosting capabilities including PHP and MySQL to implement enhanced features as time permits. These dynamically generated web pages are mostly in secure sections of the sites, accessible only to board members, but allowing automation of various board member tasks, and on occasion, polling of the target audience. When doing site design or redesign, I consider the needs of the target audience first. This has led to inclusion of content such as custom maps for event-oriented sites, complete with a photo of the event location to assist out-of-town visitors in finding the events.
An example of my web design work is a complete site redesign in 2005 for Kantronics, a manufacturer of radio modems. This site redesign included:
"To be honest, it's SUCH an improvement that it's not easy to find stuff NOT to like."
Site usage logs since the redesign was implemented have confirmed increased traffic from new visitors, increased access of new products, and more direct traversal within the site.
While doing non-web work for another client, I implemented a simple web page on their internal network to provide organized access to the quality control procedures and forms already present on their network. Use of the page quickly spread to multiple departments, and the company soon formally adopted the page as a very good idea. This is an example of using simple tools and common sense to provide timesaving access to corporate resources, at minimal cost but to great benefit.
I still maintain a number of sites for local community-oriented groups, including:
PhotographyI do a wide range of conventional and digital photography, from publicity photos to fine art. My works have been accepted in juried shows in Hays, Lawrence, and Kansas City.
You can view some of my photography here in my photo gallery.

Many households that have a pressure washer do not know how much power they consume. The amount of power used by a pressure washer is a function of its size, cleaning power, and the amount of time it is used. If you are looking to buy a pressure washer or want to know your current server model's power consumption, this article will give you all the information you need.
Why does it matter?
Knowing an electrical pressure washer's power consumption can help in many ways. It can help you determine which one is the most efficient if you're in the market for one. It can also help to calculate your energy costs if you use it often, so that your monthly energy bills are not too high. This can also help with purchasing a generator for outdoor use.
Pressure washers are a great tool to have in your arsenal. They're useful for cleaning large areas that would be a pain to clean by hand. But, with any electric appliance, you'll need to worry about the power it uses. So, just how much power does an electrical pressure washer use?
The average electrical pressure washer uses between 1,500 and 4,000 watts. This is usually dependent on the model of the pressure washer as well as its PSI rating.
What determines electrical consumption of a pressure washer?
The first thing to understand about electricity is that you can't measure it directly. The only way to measure electricity is by measuring how much power it produces. This is why the professionals often talk about how much horsepower a pressure washer has. The horsepower rating indicates how much force the pressure washer can apply. But this doesn't tell you how efficient it is at using electricity. In other words, just because two washers have the same horsepower rating doesn't mean they consume the same amount of electricity.
The most important factor for efficiency is whether the motor on your pressure washer is a universal motor or induction motor. Induction motors are very efficient (90% or more) while universal motors are considerably less efficient (60% to 70%). On average, induction motors will use 30% less electricity than universal motors with the same horsepower rating.
Another factor influencing consumption is whether your power source is 120 volts AC or 240 volts AC. You may have noticed that most electric units are available in both 120V and 240V models. While both sizes provide the same amount of horsepower, they don't consume electricity at the same rate.
The main things that determine electrical consumption are:
- The number of nozzles on the machine
- The type of nozzle being used
- The PSI and GPM levels of the machine, etc.
If you plan on using a pressure washer frequently, it’s also worth looking at machines that have features like auto-shutdown and self-priming pumps, which can help save energy by reducing the amount of time you leave the motor running. Get some of these power saving machines at the Giraffetools collections. Just for clarifications, its not always that power saving pressure washers will mean lower efficiencies.

Given the growing number of vulnerabilities and risks from cellular IoT devices, network cloudification, open-source adoption, and 5G network infrastructure evolution, the potential for new attack vectors is growing daily. Being well-prepared with robust security measures should be an enterprise imperative, enabling rapid detection & response to any potential cyber threats.
Where Should Organizations Start?
You can’t protect what you can’t see
Ensuring clear visibility of your 5G assets as a part of your attack surface risk management strategy is a critical first step. Regardless of how roles and responsibilities are allocated between businesses and partners, security visibility and consistent monitoring across the entire 5G environment is of paramount importance.
Beyond asset visibility and management, enterprises need to have security visibility across deployed user equipment (UE) or IoT devices. While it’s theoretically possible to extract asset information from the core network, in practice most enterprises lack the ability to access the core network or its internal data. Even if access is granted, important security status information will be absent. This implies that in the event of a compromised endpoint device, security team awareness would not be immediate.
Security visibility must also encompass the entirety of the 5G network system, including endpoint devices, RAN, the core network, and the enterprise IT infrastructure. An ability to have a complete view of the overall environment is essential to being able to promptly identify, contain, and address potential threats. This holistic perspective enables the ongoing assessment of the enterprise attack surface and avoids potential gaps that can increase risk.
5G supports massive scale…and that can be a visibility challenge
More and more enterprises are opting to deploy private 5G environments to support advanced new applications, but the advantages of 5G also can make security harder. A key scaling capability, mMTC (massive Machine-Type Communication), facilitates the connection of an immense number of IoT devices for unprecedented data transmission capabilities. It allows for smooth connectivity among many devices being used to drive the enterprise forward, including applications in smart manufacturing, smart logistics, and other mission-critical uses.
5G deployments are expected to drive large numbers of diverse endpoints, including many which are mobile and not always as visible as other OT devices. Enterprises should plan for the use of solution that gives them visibility across their attack surface as well as the security status of all assets in order to be ready for any potential threats.
While private 5G deployment in enterprises is currently limited, the full potential of mMTC remains untapped. As we anticipate broader 5G implementation, the challenge lies in efficiently managing the multitude of cellular IoT devices or UE deployed in the field. This task becomes even more complex when considering factors such as security protocols and ever-evolving threats.
Getting aligned with executive expectations of 5G security
According to our latest research report produced in collaboration with Omdia, CTOne, and Trend Micro, when considering security requirements for enterprise private 5G networks, business leaders’ (C-level or management team) top three expectations are focused on security visibility (75%), risk and control management (65%), and improved and streamlined alerting system (49%). This highlights the importance of organizations investing in security as an inherent part of the deployment strategy.
Risks, risks, everywhere!
In a world where the enterprise attack surface is continuously shifting and expanding, it’s critical that organizations understand where the risks are…and what to do about them. Areas for organizations to focus on include:
Unpatched n-Day vulnerabilities
Many IoT devices do not have the ability to easily install (or at all) agent-based security solutions. This means that even if a device is able to be patched,
there will typically be a time gap that introduces risk, especially where devices are a part of a critical infrastructure where downtime must be scheduled.
Stolen SIMs can lead to a compromised network and potential access control risks introduced by using a
SIM in the wrong device.
Risks from software defined radio (SDR) devices
Attackers may target devices using SDR and craft malicious or anomalous signaling packets as a part of an attack. Normally users can’t send crafted signaling messages from normal UE because this part is handled by an internal modem, but with SDR devices the user can change signaling message packets which can expose potential risks to enterprises.
Recommendations for 5G security
We recommend the implementation of a robust Zero-Trust strategy, focusing on strict identification and management of endpoint devices. This approach ensures that regardless of the device’s origin or location, it is subject to stringent identification and verification measures before being granted access. Alongside this, we emphasize the integration of an action and response capability. By swiftly detecting and responding to any anomalous activities or potential breaches, organizations can effectively stop threats before they escalate. Finally, we recommend that organizations focus on moving beyond asset visibility to include enhancedsecurity visibility that delivers an intuitive management experience for the team. Expanded visibility empowers IT and InfoSEC teams to proactively monitor and address new risks from 5G implementations.

Theory for Deep Learning –> Statistical Mechanical Analysis.
Deep learning architectures with a huge number of parameters are often compressed using pruning techniques to ensure computational efficiency of inference during deployment. Despite the multitude of empirical advances, there is no theoretical understanding of the effectiveness of different pruning methods. We address this issue by setting up the problem in the statistical mechanics formulation of a teacher-student framework and deriving generalization error (GE) bounds of specific pruning methods. This theoretical premise allows comparison between pruning methods, and we use it to investigate the compression of neural networks via diversity-based pruning methods.
Recent works showed that Determinantal Point Process (DPP) based node pruning method is notably superior to competing approaches when tested on real datasets. Using GE bounds in the setup mentioned above, we provide theoretical guarantees for their empirical observations.
Another consistent finding in the literature is that sparse neural networks (edge pruned) generalize better than dense neural networks (node pruned) for a fixed number of parameters. We use our theoretical setup to prove that the baseline random edge pruning method performs better than the DPP node pruning method.
Finally, we draw motivation from our theoretical results to propose a DPP edge pruning technique for neural networks that empirically outperforms other competing pruning methods on real datasets.
My Contribution: I am the second author of this paper. I completed theoretical proofs of the generalization error bounds for a series of diversity and weight-based pruning methods on feed-forward neural networks in a group of two. We employed a statistical mechanics setup and characterized the network training process as ODEs. I further implemented a novel diversity-based edge pruning algorithm based on Determinantal Point Processes, which was inspired by the advance in neurophysiology on synapse diversity and elimination for energy conservation. We observed improved performances than previous methods in the same family on both synthetic and real-world datasets.

My current research are within the area of machine learning and data analytics.
In previous years my research was concerned with developing nonlinear models that describe the complex relationship between the solar magnetic field and the Earths magnetic field. Building computational models of this relationship can lead to the development of advanced warning systems for geomagnetic storms. This is of critical importance to technological systems that society heavily depends on. The main focus was on Computational Intelligence based models ofgeomagnetic storms. One of the main computational intelligence based model in use in geomagnetic storm modeling is the recurrent neural network (RNN). I, along with my research collaborator (Dr Derrick Mirikitani) have developed sophisticated training algorithms for the RNN which allow for optimization of model priors and parameters for accurate prediction of Dst index , and the ability to forecast Dst and update model parameters online.


A computer’s processor consists of millions of diffusion that work collectively to procedure information and instructions through the memory and hard drive, and after that send all of them out http://mediabruh.com/amd-powered-laptops-are-they-any-good over an interface in the motherboard to other parts in your system like video cards, sound cards, and network adapters.

AMD cpus are usually cheaper than Intel types, making them a great choice for home computers and notebook computers that need to handle standard workplace or imaginative applications. They also usually run more efficiently than Intel chips, employing less vitality and building less heating. However , in terms of gaming and other high-end applications that demand a lot of CPU cores and fast time clock speeds, Intel processors stay the best option.
Deciding on a CPU is actually a complicated decision. Both Intel and ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES have exceptional products, but every has talents in different areas. For example , Intel has a head start in processor chip technologies which are not yet offered to the rest of us, but it surely can be high-priced to get some new systems to take advantage of them.
On the other hand, AMD has come away with ground breaking designs that provide great efficiency for their cost. Its most up-to-date TSMC 5nm chips, as an example, offer much better performance every watt than Intel’s ideal chips. And AMD’s SmartShift technology may automatically prioritize processing or GPU power above other uses, saving even more energy.


Both businesses and consumers demand innovative, out-of-the-box mobile applications that provide sophisticated user experiences. They expect feature-rich solutions that include technologies such as video, location awareness and mapping, data capture, real-time notifications, near field communication (NFC), data synchronization across platforms, and more. Add to that the diversity of devices and OS versions and developing for mobile quickly becomes a challenge.

The Future of Natural Language Processing: Understanding Google’s BART
Natural Language Processing (NLP) has come a long way in recent years, and with the introduction of Google’s Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) in 2018, the way we interact with computers has forever changed. But what about Google’s newest NLP model, the Bidirectional and Auto-Regressive Transformers (BART)? In this article, we will explore the ins and outs of BART, its capabilities, and its potential impact on NLP and machine learning as a whole.
Introduction to BART
What is BART?
BART is a state-of-the-art language model developed by Google that was introduced in 2019. It is an extension of the transformer-based models that have dominated NLP in recent years, but with a twist. While BERT is purely an encoder model, BART combines both encoder and decoder models into a single architecture. This allows it to perform a wider range of NLP tasks, such as text generation and summarization, in addition to traditional tasks like sentiment analysis and named entity recognition.
How does BART work?
At its core, BART utilizes the transformer architecture, which involves self-attention mechanisms that allow the model to learn contextual relationships between words and phrases in a given text. However, BART’s unique contribution lies in its combination of the encoder and decoder models. The encoder, as in BERT, reads in a sequence of tokens and creates a high-dimensional representation of the input. The decoder, on the other hand, generates a sequence of tokens based on this representation. In this way, BART can perform a wider range of NLP tasks, including text generation and summarization.
BART’s ability to generate natural-sounding text has many potential applications, such as chatbots, automatic summarization, and content creation. In fact, a recent study found that BART outperforms previous models on text generation tasks, including summarization and translation.
BART’s unique combination of encoder and decoder models allows it to perform text summarization tasks more effectively than previous models. By encoding a long input text and then decoding a shorter summary, BART can create more concise and accurate summaries than traditional models.
BART’s transformer architecture also makes it well-suited for question answering tasks. In a recent study, BART was found to perform well on a variety of question answering tasks, including extracting answers from a passage of text and generating answers to open-ended questions.
Impact on NLP and Machine Learning
BART’s unique architecture and capabilities have the potential to revolutionize NLP and machine learning as a whole. Its ability to perform a wider range of NLP tasks with greater accuracy and efficiency could lead to significant improvements in areas like chatbots, sentiment analysis, and content creation.
However, BART is not without its limitations. Like all machine learning models, BART requires large amounts of data to train effectively, which can be a barrier to entry for smaller companies or organizations. Additionally, as with any NLP model, there is always the risk of bias or inaccuracies in the data used to train the model.
Google BART AI Announced: How It Compares to ChatGPT
Google recently announced the release of their newest natural language processing (NLP) model, Bidirectional and Auto-Regressive Transformers (BART). This has raised questions about how BART compares to other NLP models, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT. In this article, we will explore the similarities and differences between BART and ChatGPT.
BART vs. ChatGPT: Similarities
Both BART and ChatGPT are based on the transformer architecture, which involves self-attention mechanisms that allow the models to learn contextual relationships between words and phrases in a given text. Additionally, both models have achieved state-of-the-art results on a wide range of NLP tasks, including language modeling, text generation, and summarization.
BART vs. ChatGPT: Differences
The main difference between BART and ChatGPT lies in their architecture. While BART combines both encoder and decoder models into a single architecture, ChatGPT is a purely auto-regressive model that generates text one token at a time. This means that BART is better suited for tasks that involve both text generation and summarization, while ChatGPT is better suited for tasks that involve generating long-form text, such as stories or articles.
Another key difference is the amount of data required to train each model effectively. BART requires a large amount of data to train effectively, which can be a barrier to entry for smaller organisations or companies. In contrast, ChatGPT has been pre-trained on a massive amount of data, making it a more accessible option for those with limited resources.
Applications of BART and ChatGPT
BART’s unique architecture and combination of encoder and decoder models make it well-suited for a wide range of NLP tasks, including text generation, summarization, and question answering. Its potential applications include chatbots, automatic summarization, and content creation.
ChatGPT, on the other hand, is particularly well-suited for generating long-form text, such as stories or articles. Its potential applications include content creation, language translation, and text summarization.
In conclusion, BART and ChatGPT are both state-of-the-art NLP models that have achieved impressive results on a wide range of tasks. While they share some similarities, such as being based on the transformer architecture, they also have key differences in their architecture and the amount of data required to train each model effectively. Both models have exciting potential applications in areas like chatbots, automatic summarization, and content creation, and it will be interesting to see how they continue to develop and improve in the future.
