About two weeks ago (on my birthday :-)), Mobistar has released the SPV (Sound-Photo-Video) E200 SmartPhone on the Belgian market. Last week, I acquired this device and it's working pretty well. A first review for all of you who're interested in this device.
- Running Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003
- Integrated camera (640x480 pixels, 4x zoom)
- 32 MB of RAM; SD slot available for extension of storage
- Screen of 176x200 pixels with high resolution (65K colors)
- USB, Bluetooth and infra-red ports
- Tri-band (900/1800/1900 MHz)
- GPRS-enabled (class 8)
It's great to see the Windows Mobile operating system running om those little devices. The software available on the device can be compared with the software on Pocket PC devices but since the device has less RAM and a limited form factor, it's not possible to run apps such as Pocket Word and Excel. Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer and MSN Messenger are out there on the SmartPhone OS which is a great thing (e.g. with the hands-free set and an SD-card you can take your music with you). ActiveSync makes the synchronisation of contacts, calendar, mails, etc really simple to do (in comparison with classic mobile phones). The GPRS connection works fine, so if you want to check mail when you're on the road or you want to look for something on the net, just go ahead and connect (of course it's still rather slow). MSN Messenger is also useful in my opinion but unfortunately it has not all the options of the desktop edition (note: I installed MS Portrait on my Qtek 1010 phone a few weeks ago which is really worth to check out if you have such a device, it can be used as a light-weight Netmeeting tool for low bandwidths).
I'm new to MMS in fact, so it took a bit time for me to find out how this thing works but it's relatively simple to kick off with. The integrated camera for pictures and video has a nice quality and is useful as an alternative for digital cameras if you don't want to carry a bunch of devices with you. Thanks to a button on the left side of the phone, you can make photos or videos without having to navigate through the menu. The synchronisation of the images to the pc is fairly easy as well using the ActiveSync software (included with the device and available as a free download on-line) with the file explorer that connects to the device (note: a USB-cradle is included with the phone).
- Light-weight device and relatively small (really pocket-sized device)
- Great resolution on the screen, great colors
- Good sound
- Customizable device with a lot of multimedia features
- It's running the Windows Mobile 2003 operating system which works fine
- Synchronisation with the desktop pc using ActiveSync
- A lot of advantages of the Windows Mobile 2003 OS are in there
- Communication over bluetooth and infrared did not cause any problems
- GPRS connection can be handy and thanks to tools such as Internet Explorer, mail, MSN Messenger you can get the power of such a connection
- Development using Visual Studio .NET 2003 works relatively well (although the .NET Compact Framework for SmartPhone has some limitations due to the limited amount of RAM)
- Limited form factor in comparison with Pocket PC Phone Edition devices
- 32 MB RAM is limited (don't try to play music when you're using ActiveSync for example); although for 'normal use' this is enough
- Input using the numeric buttons (the "SMS-way of working")
- Navigation with the scroll-button can be annoying sometimes (not 100% flexible button but it has improved a bit already)
- Rather low battery life if you're using the device intensively
- Startup time is rather long (> 30 secs)
- Some of the software (such as the camera software) is not written by Microsoft which has some disadvantages in the field of integration (e.g. beam a photo from the 'Multimedia Album' via infrared is not possible)
- The control of the sound volume is not completely clear: the sound icon in the 'system tray' displays the status of the phone sound but other apps are still producing sound (such as Windows Media Player or games); this sound volume can be adjusted using the buttons on the left side (I have to admit that everything has become clear right now)
- Pure Mobistar-device currently (but that's the same with Proximus Qtek for example)
In my opinion, this is a great device in comparison with earlier releases of SmartPhones on the market (thanks to the new Windows Mobile 2003 OS). I like it!
If you want to have a device with the format of a classic mobile phone but with the advantages of Windows powered pocket devices, this device is what you're looking for. But if you don't want to do a lot of input when you're on the road and don't like the SMS-way of working to input text using the numeric keys, a phone such as the Qtek will be a better choice since it's a Pocket PC with phone support (and not a phone with Pocket PC advantages as the SmartPhone). The input with the stylus is easier if you like the "PDA style" and Pocket PC Phone Edition devices have all of the advantages of Pocket PCs. Being a developer experimenting with a lot of technologies and mobile devices right now, I have tested both devices (Qtek 1010 and SPV E200). The SmartPhone has limitations for the development due to the limited form factor and the reduced amount of RAM (e.g. no support for datagrids). I didn't play around with Qtek 2020 (http://www.pdashop.nl/product/2739) already which was released recently by Proximus, so I can't compare Qtek 1010 with Qtek 2020 right now.

Optic fiber Systems JSC started to develop new fiber types with full cycle production
On 8 April 2019 OVS specialists obtained the first, produced in-house, test preform produced by FCVD method
FCVD (furnace chemical vapor deposition) – preform production technology by which chlorides are deposited from gas phase. The FCVD method is one of the three main ways to manufacture high quality telecommunication optical fiber preforms.
Further development of operating skills within the technology allows to manufacture preforms and then to draw multimode fiber of the G.651 standard and singlemode fiber of G.655. standard.
G.651 fibers – multimode optical fibers with the diameter of optic fiber core 50 μm. These fibers are destined to transfer big amounts of information to short distances, for example, optical connections in the data processing centers. Comparing to singlemode fibers they have higher price however require less expensive process equipment.
G.655 fibers – singlemode optical fibers with non-zero dispersion shifted. They are applied to construct transmission systems of optical connection with dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM). Non-zero shifted dispersion allows to alleviate four-wave mixing effect and that has good influence on the data transmission to long distances of optical signal.
Optic fiber Systems JSC is planning to obtain test samples of G.651 fiber as early as in 3rd quarter of 2019 and G.655 samples in 4th quarter.
“Optic fiber Systems” JSC (www.rusfiber.ru) – is the first Russian plant manufacturing optical fiber. The plant is situated in Saransk, Mordovia Republic. It was officially opened September 25th, 2015. The shareholders of the company are RUSNANO, Gazprombank, the Government of Mordovia Republic.
Today it is a modern high-tech manufacturing with a capacity of 2,4 million km of optical fiber per year. While based on the scheduled upgrade project the capacity of the plant will be increased to 4 mln kilometers of optical fiber per year.
Currently there are the most popular types of the fiber – optical fibers of G652d and G657A1/G652d standards - are serially produced at the plant. The both types of the fiber are certified and were successfully tested by OJCS Rostelecom. Optical fibers of other types are planned to produce.


Making your home work for your hard earned dollars will result in a better return if you can make your home more energy-efficient. There are a number of ways to invest in your home to achieve this goal. A home will be energy-efficient when steps are taken to reduce energy usage
This is a device that allows you to measure the electric usage of various devices in your home. You can find this tool on Amazon and other online sites. This device works like an adapter. One end will plug into the outlet on the wall and the power cord for the appliance will plug into the device. The display will show you the amount of electricity that all your appliances use. You can keep a list of all electronic devices that are in your home.
Replacing traditional incandescent bulbs with CFL bulbs is an easy way to make your home work better for you when using electricity. You can now use a CFL bulb in a lamp that has three stages or in a light that used a dimmer switch. CFL bulbs are not as hot and do not use as much energy as an incandescent bulb. The result is a decrease of energy that is used in your home.
Many homes have thermostats that can be programmed to set temperatures for various times of the day or night. However, a smart thermostat can be installed to work with an app for your smartphone, tablet, or other mobile device. The benefit of a smart thermostat is that it is able to detect when you are anyone else in is a room. A smart thermostat can turn off heating and cooling in your home when you are out of the house.
The addition of solar panels to your home allow you to collect energy from the sun. This is an expense that will give you solar power from infinite energy. You can even sell excess power back to your utility company. Also, check to see if you qualify for solar power rebates.
Money is well spent when replacing old windows in your home with ones that are energy efficient. Old windows are a cause of energy loss because they often leak air.
The addition of insulation to an attic or crawl space will help to limit heat loss. Insulation will help you keep lower floors of your home warmer. This will translate into lower energy costs as your furnace will not need to run as often to maintain a set temperature.

If you’ve been reading this blog, or have recently purchase an AirScape WHF, you’re no doubt aware that all of our whole house fans come complete with a webserver. You can access and control the WHF by any browser connected to your LAN.
The missing link is that you have to connect the AirScape WHF to your LAN via an ethernet cable. Most of the time that’s the best and easiest solution. However, if you can’t get from your router to the attic, here is an inexpensive and reliable solution:
Ethernet over Power adapters use your house wiring to transmit ethernet. You simply buy a pair, plug each one into a wall outlet, then plug ethernet cables into the device.


A router connects on your modem (or they are combined into one device) and supplies a connection to the Internet. This kind of connection is usually required to allow you to see the web, https://www.makeuseof.com/tips-online-dating-beginners-need-to-know/ stream video, and more in all your equipment.
You are able to hook up a router employing an ethernet cable television or wirelessly. Either method is fine, and method could be easier or perhaps harder compared to the other.
1 ) Use an Ethernet Cable
If you want to connect your computer to your new router using an ethernet cable connection, you’ll need to find a absolutely free LAN slot on the back side of the router or modem. Usually, the slots will be sq . holes which have “LAN” developed above or up coming to all of them.
installment payments on your Use a Wifi Router
Many routers at this time come with a wireless component, and https://besthookupsites.org/freehookupaffair-review/ connect your computer for the router applying Wi-Fi. This is often less difficult and faster than connecting to your router with a network wire, and it eliminates the advantages of a lot of wire connections in your home.
3. Connect Your Device and Router
Some ISPs offer gateways that incorporate modem and router functions. In these instances, you’ll need to set the gateway to disable its very own router and pass it is WAN IP address and network visitors your new router.
Once your gateway and router are both turned on, wait for a few minutes for them to hook up and start working jointly. Once they’re connected, you may use your computer to get into the router settings and place up a brand new wireless network in your home.

Power packed: Eos Energy Storage’s batteries ease grid demand in brownout-plagued countries
It’s pretty intuitive, really.
Countries that have rolling brownouts on a consistent basis are a good place to operate when you’re in the battery business.
And, just to be clear, we’re not talking about the batteries you put in the flashlights you keep in the drawer of the nightstand.
Philippe Bouchard, of the Edison-based energy company Eos Energy Storage, explained it better.
“During (brownouts), portions of grids can be powered down for about four hours at a time,” he said. “They do that regularly in places such as India and South Africa to prevent a full-scale blackout. That’s typically an indicator of where a battery technology with multiple hours of discharge capability can create a lot of value.”

The maxflow-v3.01 library computes max-flow/min-cut on arbitrary graphs. It implements the Boykov-Kolmogorov algorithm, which tends to be is fast for computer vision problems. The B-K algorithm and its first implementation were developed while the authors were at Siemens Corporate Research, but we cannot distribute the original version. The code here was independently re-implemented by Vladimir Kolmogorov based on published materials.
Planar Graph Cut
The PlanarCut-v1.0.2 library computes max-flow/min-s-t-cut on planar graphs. It implements an efficient algorithm, which has almost linear running time. The library also provides for several easy-to-use interfaces in order to define planar graphs that are common in computer vision applications. The code was implemented by Eno Töppe and Frank R. Schmidt
Note: This code only works for planar graphs (including the terminal nodes). For more general problems, please use maxflow or gco (see below).
The gco-v3.0 library is for optimizing multi-label energies via the α-expansion and α-β-swap algorithms. It supports energies with any combination of unary, pairwise, and label cost terms. Written in C++, it comes bundled with a MATLAB wrapper. The code was developed by Olga Veksler and Andrew Delong. Andreas Mueller (U. Bonn) has written a Python wrapper for gco.
New in version 3.0 – older versions here
- Label cost support in α-expansion, including costs on subsets of labels ("category costs").
- Sparse data cost support, for when each label is feasible for only a small fraction of sites; a fast special case!
- Adaptive cycles for α-expansion are used by default; often faster, but sometimes slower, so try both.
- Source code: gco-v3.0.zip – Apr 28 2010 – patched Oct 14, 2014 to allow float/double energy terms
- Relevant papers: PAMI2001, PAMI2004a, PAMI2004b, and (if using label costs) IJCV2012.

- Boost C++ libraries version 1.39 or later
Max-flow/min-cut for shape fitting
The TouchExpand library efficiently computes globally optimal max-flow on a special type of graph. The touch-expand algorithm relies on sparse unary terms (source/sink arcs) to solve max-flow in a memory-efficient manner. Such sparse unary terms arise, for example, in shape-from-points problems. The algorithm works within a narrow band, growing it in an on-demand fashion, until a global optimum of the full problem is guaranteed. The code is by Victor Lempitsky and is based on the maxflow-v3.0 library.


My understanding is the 2017 will charge off a rapid charger, it just will not charge at the full rate a rapid charger is capable of without the updated FW. In the CAN communication between the bike and the charger, the bike asks for a certain amount of charge current. If the amount of current requested is less than the amount the charger is capable of supplying, the charger will only give what is requested. My 2018 EX (027), with pre fast charger FW, charged fine from a fast charger at the 24 hours of starvation ridge race so I would think a 2017 MX would also charge from a fast charger. It just wouldn't charge as fast as it would if the FW was updated.


Your car audio system is more than just a way to listen to your favorite tunes while cruising down the road. It is a reflection of your taste, personality, and the very character of your vehicle. Therefore, to ensure your car audio system delivers high-quality sound, an essential component you cannot ignore is the amplifier. But with the myriad of options available in the market, how do you choose the right amplifier for your car audio system? Let’s dive in and find out.
Before you venture into the process of choosing an amplifier, it’s important to understand the crucial role these devices play in your car’s audio system. An amplifier, or ‘amp’ as it’s commonly referred to, is the powerhouse of the audio system. It is the component that boosts the sound signal from your radio, CD player, or other audio source for output through your car’s speakers.
Without an amplifier, you could have the most expensive speakers in your car, but they won’t deliver their full potential. Amps provide the necessary power to make your speakers produce sound at their maximum capacity. They will ensure high quality, crystal clear sound, even at high volumes, reducing distortion and improving the overall audio experience significantly.
When you head out to buy an amplifier, you’ll find that these devices are categorized into different classes. The class of an amplifier primarily determines its efficiency, sound quality, and heat generation. The most common classes in car amplifiers are Class A, Class B, Class AB, and Class D.
Class A amplifiers deliver excellent sound quality but are less power efficient and generate substantial heat. Class B amplifiers, on the other hand, are more energy efficient but slightly compromise on sound quality. Class AB amplifiers strike a balance between Class A and B, delivering good sound quality with better efficiency. Class D amplifiers are highly efficient and produce less heat, but they might not deliver the same audio quality as the other classes.
The channel number is another crucial aspect when choosing your car amplifier. Simply put, the number of channels refers to the number of speakers or subwoofers an amplifier can power simultaneously.
A single channel or mono amplifier is suitable if you want to power only a single speaker or a subwoofer. A 2-channel amplifier can power two speakers or can be bridged to power a single speaker with more output. A 4-channel amplifier is versatile, able to power four speakers or a combination of speakers and a subwoofer. There are also 5, 6, or even 8-channel amplifiers available, giving you more options for a complex audio system setup.
The power output of an amplifier is crucial as it determines how loud your speakers can get. When looking at the power output, it’s important to consider the RMS (Root Mean Square) power, not the peak power. The RMS power is a measure of continuous power that an amplifier can output, while the peak power refers to the maximum power output at an instant.
The power output should match your speaker’s power handling capacity. Don’t buy an amplifier with a power output that is too high for your speakers, as it can damage them. Conversely, a low-power amplifier will not allow your speakers to reach their full potential.
The last step in choosing the right car amplifier is ensuring it matches your speakers and subwoofers. This isn’t just about the power output but also about the impedance, or resistance, your amp can handle.
Most car speakers have an impedance of 4 ohms, but some high-performance speakers and subwoofers might have a lower impedance. Always ensure that your amplifier is capable of handling the impedance of your speakers and subwoofers to avoid damaging the system.
Choosing the right car amplifier might seem complex, but by understanding the role of amplifiers, considering the class, checking the number of channels and power output, and matching it with your speakers and subwoofers, you will be well on your way to achieving high-quality sound in your car.
Once you’ve gained a grasp on the technical aspects of a car amplifier, the next step is to consider the practical factors. One of the crucial factors to consider is the size of the amplifier. It must fit in your vehicle without causing any inconvenience. An oversized amplifier may have better performance but could be problematic if your car doesn’t have enough space for it. On the other hand, a compact amplifier may easily fit but might not deliver the same power or sound quality.
The location of the amplifier in your car is also important. Amps generate heat when they’re in use, so they need good ventilation to avoid overheating. Most people prefer to install them in the trunk or under a seat, but remember that these locations should have sufficient air circulation.
Also, take into account the ease of installation. If you’re handy with tools, you might be able to install the amplifier yourself. However, if you’re not confident with wiring and installation, it’s a good idea to leave it to the professionals. A poorly installed amplifier can ruin not only the sound quality but also potentially damage your audio system.
Lastly, check if the amplifier has the necessary input and output connections compatible with your car stereo. This compatibility ensures seamless integration with your existing audio system.
Your budget is an essential factor when choosing a car amplifier. High-end amplifiers come with advanced features and superior sound quality but are costly. Conversely, you can find affordable car amplifiers that offer decent performance, but they might not meet the same quality standards as their more expensive counterparts.
It’s crucial to find a balance between your budget and the quality of the amplifier. Don’t compromise on sound quality and power just to save a few bucks. Instead, look for an amplifier that provides value for money, offering good sound quality and power within your budget.
Brand reputation is another significant factor when shopping for a car amplifier. Renowned brands often have a proven track record of delivering reliable, quality products. They also usually offer better customer support and warranties, which can be a big advantage if you encounter issues with your amplifier.
Some of the reputable brands in the car audio industry include Pioneer, Kenwood, JL Audio, Alpine, and Rockford Fosgate. Research and read reviews before making a decision, and don’t shy away from asking professionals for advice.
Choosing the right car amplifier for your audio system can seem like a daunting task, but with the right guidance, it becomes a manageable process. Understanding the role of car amplifiers and the implications of their different classes is the first step. Determining the number of channels and the power output helps to ensure that the amplifier matches your speakers and subwoofers. Considering the size, installation, budget, and brand reputation further refines your choices.
In the end, the goal is to enhance the sound quality of your car audio and create a listening experience that you enjoy. By considering the factors discussed here, you are on the right path to making the most of your car stereo and truly personalising your vehicle. Take your time, do your research, and then choose the amplifier that best suits your needs and preferences.

Write down two observations of Rutherford’s Atomic model.
- Most of the alpha particles passed through the foil un-deflected.
- Out of 20000 particles only a few were deflected at fairly large angles and very few bounced back on hitting the gold foil.
Where does the most of mass of an atom exist?
Most of an atom exists in its nucleus. Protons and neutrons are present in nucleus. The sum of masses of protons and neutrons is equal to atomic mass of an atom.
Write down two postulates of Rutherford’s atomic model.
- The hydrogen atom consists of a tiny nucleus and electrons are revolving in one of the circular orbits of radius ‘r’ around the nucleus.
- Each orbit has a fixed energy that is quantized.
Describe difference between Rutherford’s atomic theory and Bohr’s atomic theory.
Rutherford’s Atomic theory:
It was based on classical theory.
Electrons revolve around the nucleus
No idea about the orbit was introduced
Atoms should produce continuous spectrum
Atoms should collapse
Bohr’s atomic theory
It was based upon quantum theory
Electrons revolve around the nucleus in orbits of fixed energy
Orbits had quantized angular momentum
Atoms should produce line spectrum
Atoms should collapse
When does an electron emit or absorb energy?
- According to Bohr when electron jumps from higher to lower energy orbit it radiates energy
- Similarly when electron jumps from lower energy orbit to higher energy orbit it absorbs energy
What is meant by quantum? Or why Max Plank was awarded Noble prize? Or what is meant by quantum and quanta?
Quantum means fixed energy. It is smallest amount of energy that can be emitted or absorbed as electromagnetic radiations. Quanta is plural of quantum. In 1918, Noble prize in physics was awarded to German physicist Max Plank for work on quantum theory.

Soft screen photoelectric intelligent LED screen, let "smart" leap screen
With the development of The Times, people are no strangers to "urbanization", and the prosperity of modern cities is more common. However, with the further development of China's urbanization, "urban disease" has become more and more prominent. Some people say that one person walks from one Chinese city to another, and sometimes wonders if he is still in the same city. The current sharing of bikes is a great place to live, but some of our urban infrastructure is so poor that there are no bike paths. In addition, environmental pollution, noise pollution and other problems are also outstanding. It can be said that the "monotonous" architectural style between our cities, the various unreasonableness of the urban planning process, the various problems that arise during the operation of the city... All of this has had very serious consequences for our city life. It is in this kind of background that making smart city becomes the inevitable choice for the development of new-type urbanization in China.
Smart city market size
It is reported that since 2010, when the concept of the ministry of national living and construction was first pushed to the concept of smart city, the development of smart cities in China has been in full swing. The construction of smart city is a very large system project, and there are a lot of upstream and downstream relationships in the industrial chain. According to the development and deployment of smart cities according to the relevant ministries and commissions of the state, the number of cities to start smart cities and smart cities under construction is expected to be more than 500 in 2017.
According to forecast of the prospective industry research institute, China's smart city market will exceed 6 trillion yuan in 2017, with an average annual growth rate of about 32 years in the next five years. 64%, the market will reach 18 in 2021. 7 trillion yuan.
Smart city size is huge, the application potential is immeasurable. From the perspective of industry, the basic wisdom, number and other big data acquisition is the main, which can have a profound impact on other industries. For example, the development of smart cities will lead to the development of IT, Internet of things, advertising media and other industries.
The opportunities and challenges faced by soft screen photoelectric
At present, the annual investment of smart cities in China is increasing at a rapid rate, which has entered a full-blown period. This is not a missed opportunity for soft - screen photovoltaics. Therefore, how to get a piece of the wave of smart city construction, nature is also a must answer in front of the soft screen.
Wisdom city construction is comprehensive, which is closely related to our construction, transportation, education, sports, etc., and these areas, for our LED display enterprise are closely linked. From the application point of view, today's cities, the figure of LED display can be seen everywhere, outdoor advertising, in the field of security video surveillance, transportation systems, urban landmarks and so on, can say we LED display in every field of city life plays a huge role. So there are also people who believe that the function of the largest LED display, does not show that regardless of city development, the LED display just be according to the "job" is ok, what is the wisdom of the city development, and has little to do with yourself.
Indeed, in terms of display technology, we've been on this piece of soil soft screen photoelectric dedicated to the cultivation, after so many years of development, the soft screen display for photoelectric products have to meet the needs of various applications, and wide praise customers. With the mature of the future small spacing technology, the display will become more and more good, and the application of the optoelectronic LED display will be expanded continuously.
But the soft screen photoelectric if only meet in pursuit of the display, and not in other ways to keep pace with The Times, follow the trend of The Times development, and constantly improve improve LED display functions, in the process of wisdom, the development of the city, will be in the position of the "left behind".
Therefore, soft screen photoelectric is continuously pursuing the display effect while also focusing on research and development of "intelligent" and soft screen photoelectric product combination. Three kinds of "intelligent" products have been successfully implemented.
I. wireless intelligence
Is so-called "smart" wireless remote control, the technology innovation make the soft panel photoelectric products no longer need to like conventional LED display through the cable to connect the computer to display the image of product, type substitution operation, etc. The above operation can be performed on any computer with wireless wifi access to the LAN connection. Let customers have more convenient and efficient operation mode.
Ii. Intelligent management of APP
"APP intelligent management system", it is soft screen photoelectric according to today's "intelligent" boom developed a system, use the system operation, only need to install a intelligent transmission chip in the LED display, then the phone installed APP can perfect the system running, the system can through the mobile phone remote management control, real-time understanding of the product work hours, operating temperature, the brightness adjustment, and so on and so forth. The APP interface is simple and easy to understand, and anyone with administrative authority can control it.
The "macro definition" is "pre-set", which is to do everything in advance and make it complete automatically. This technology can make choose soft screen photoelectric LED clients save a lot of time, because the technology need to set up a good image or video display the time in advance and replaced by the next display images or video and a series of operations. Click save run after the soft screen photoelectric LED display will be able to automatically process according to the customer Settings, one step in place.
Skyscrapers converge into a city, not only is the representation of architecture and visual, constitute a "wisdom city" is like a light as a feather leaves under the microscope, the overall look simple, but the internal structure is complex, all-encompassing, each element and component of the intelligent development, to make the so-called "wisdom city" title. For the development of "smart city", soft screen is also closely followed by "smart LED display" development. We make the LED display industry to render the modern advanced colors of intelligence, and the spark of The Times, let the LED display can also have "intelligent" performance. This is not a simple LED display, but a "black technology with display functionality". In the age of "wisdom", LED displays need to have "intelligent" functions and management practices in addition to their regular display functions. Tightly so that we can make the industry is not left behind, keep up with the pace of the intelligent, become a present "wisdom" in the city of wisdom, let people use the window to the soul, to witness the development of the era, the era of progress!

Also, there will be connections available in the conventional vehicles that make them very important in day-to-day life. There are computerized industrial IoT systems even in the municipal buses or the corporate delivery trucks that are often fitted with the additional IoT Technologies, including the connected devices for monitoring the safety issues.
2. Smart grids
The utilities of the IoT embedded systems are also available to bring efficiency and resiliency to the energy grid. Initially, energy flows one way along the grid from the generation site to the customer point.
However, with the connected industrial IoT applications now, it is becoming popular to use two-way communication along the entire energy supply chain. Also, there is the generation’s involvement through the distribution, thus improving the utility’s ability to move and manage it.
The utilities can also consider the analysis of the real-time data transmitted by the connected devices to detect the blackout and the redirected distribution. That said, it will be favorable for the different industry practices.
The smart meters installed at the individual homes and a business can provide information regarding the real-time use and the historical usage patterns that the customers and their utilities can analyze.
3. IoT connected factory
The businesses can also go ahead with utilizing the IoT-connected factory solution and IoT apps, including the Microsoft Azure IoT, for the management of the industrial IoT and automation devices.
In addition to that, there is also connected cloud software that gets populated with the different resources allowing the control of the range of the devices.
There has been the advent of the connected factory solutions that serve with the key metrics, including the equipment efficiency as well as telemetry data.
Recent reports suggest that the industrial IoT market will grow from USD 77.3 billion to USD 110.6 billion by 2025.
The data will also be gathered with the help of the assets located at different geographical locations. You can go ahead with the use of the connected factory solution for the connection, monitoring, and also control of the industrial devices.
4. Connected health care system
IoT automation has come up with numerous applications, even in the Healthcare Industry. The technology is always providing high-quality medical services, including smart medical devices. Also, there is the involvement of the internet of medical things, a specialized Technology for helping monitor and report vital data. It has been helping in making clinical decisions with the use of IoT medical devices.
It is becoming easier to get access to the entire support for the medical system. IoT medical devices are also helping with the real-time monitoring of patients remotely. The devices can go ahead with reporting the emergency, including the asthma attack, heart failure, immediately to the physician.
IoT system management can also help in the potential of saving the lives of many individuals. Also, the IoT devices assist in taking care of the blood pressure levels, sugar levels, and weight. The IoT always automates the workflow by allowing the provision of effective healthcare services to the patients.
5. Smart security devices connected continuously
One of the topmost IoT trends, Security systems, are helping in keeping the buildings and people within them safe. There has been a variety of security cameras available in different sizes and configurations that can install the easy monitoring ability.
In addition to that, they also come with environmental sensors that are integrated with the alarm panels and access control devices, including the door controllers and the door readers.
Also, they can ensure providing the maximized control over the security throughout the building Centre infrastructure. Each of these devices is controllable through the command platform. In addition to that, they can also ensure providing actionable insights in real-time and delivering Automatic updates to all the cloud-connected devices.
6. Agricultural support
These days many connected appliances and devices can also get into the agricultural support with the measurement and the monitoring of the soil. Besides, it also gives the idea regarding the education system efficiency by measuring the amount of water at the deep root zone or the garden or the landscape area.
There will be a possibility of deciding when, where and whether to irrigate or not. These IoT devices always utilize the Technologies of machine learning and other technologies that will be helping in agriculture. More importantly, there are also measurements for the factors including the moisture levels, air and soil temperature, wind speed and will be reaching the data to the farmers.
7. Smart parking with loT
The smart parking IoT system is turning out to be very important because it can help regulate occupancy and parking coverage. When it comes to the multi-story car parking lot, there is a need for smart parking technology utilizing internet of things applications.
There are many IoT technologies and tools that are finding space in the modern-day era. However, there is huge importance regarding the smart parking system. The specific devices can also just give you the idea to park in the exact location.
Numerous technologies are utilizing the internet of things. We have provided the above-mentioned internet of things examples that are proving to be technologies with incredible potential.
From IoT smart homes to several other technologies, the IoT is finding improvement. In addition to that, businesses must also adopt the new tools applicable in the IoT sector. Use of IoT offers competitiveness and helps in staying ahead of the industry.


We saw in Part 3, Camera Space, that the modern digital cinema cameras produce a torrent of image data that needs to be stored for later editing, visual effects, and color correction. How that data is stored has a profound effect on the retained quality of those captured images so the modern visual effects artist needs to understand the consequences of their choices of file formats for storage. The rapid increase in available disk space and network bandwidth has reduced the need for data compression as the primary motive in selecting any particular storage file format. Instead, the emphasis now is on protecting the quality of those images and “future proofing” the project. To do that effectively you need to understand the various file formats along with their strengths and weaknesses.


Custom Infrared Panel Heaters
Infrared panel heaters are custom built heaters operating primarily in the long wave range. The basic construction consists of a resistance coil embedded into a ceramic fibre board which is then located behind an emitting surface of either anodised aluminium or glass ceramic. This is then placed inside a 75mm high aluminised steel housing which normally contains 50mm of thermal insulation to reduce heat loss through the rear of the unit.
Panel heaters can be used in thermoforming ovens and for various curing and drying applications. The panel heater design and construction makes it a very robust and efficient heater with operating life often in excess of 20,000 hours in many applications (depending on operating temperature and environment). Standard power density is 1.5-2.3 W/cm² (10-15 W/in²). Higher power densities available on request.
Glass ceramic face - very good radiant efficiency, high percentage transmission of radiant output in medium to short wave range, surface can be easily cleaned.
Anodised aluminium face - good radiant efficiency, very robust, surface sheet can be easily cleaned or replaced if damaged by molten material.
Open 2P terminal block
Terminal block with cover
M6 or 1/4" threaded stud
Other options available on request.


The new World Robotics 2020 Industrial Robots report shows a record of 2.7 million industrial robots operating in factories around the world – an increase of 12%. Sales of new robots remain on a high level with 373,000 units shipped globally in 2019. This is 12% less compared to 2018, but still the 3rd highest sales volume ever recorded.
The field of artificial intelligence (AI) experienced tremendous scientific advances in the last few years, from vast improvements in processing power and computational efficiency to new insights into object identification, language, and deep learning. IBM — a leader in AI research since its inception in the 1950s — helped inform many of these advances. And 2019 in particular was a watershed moment for IBM Research AI.
Across the five main areas of IoT (wearables, home, cities, enterprise, environment) and the key verticals we cover (manufacturing, energy, oil, automotive, healthcare, government, insurance), you could...
It’s understandable that parts of IoT will move forward at different rates. But if we assume the advances in IoT will play out as we expect across our five areas of interest (wearables, home, cities, enterprise, environment), then we could be looking at a future where we live longer, we’re fitter and healthier, there’s less pollution, we need to work less, and we’re rarely late. Or are we? To paint a picture of the future as a Logan’s Run-esque utopia (spoiler: the film doesn’t turn out well) would be disingenuous, but to envisage 50 years from now as like the Pixar film WALL-E where humans are inert and ignorant would be taking things to the other extreme too. It’s clear at least that there will be knock-on effects of an automated society that no-one can predict but let’s try some of the easier ones .
Digital twins are the key to achieving smart factories. They will open the door to the manufacturing industry’s cyber-physical future.
Digital twins are cyber clones of physical things. Their use in product design and planning is big news at the moment, and using them to plan entire factories is potentially the next major step toward smart manufacturing.


I have master’s degree both in Geomatics engineering (Istanbul Technical University, Turkey) and Geography (Université de Montréal). In Geomatics, my research focused on geodesy and specifically studying geoid determination and evaluation by the satellite and in-situ data. I continued my studies to investigate the sea level changes of Blacksea using tide-gauge and satellite altimetry data. I developed my educations in field of satellite radar and interferometry (InSAR) to calculate the quantification of vertical land motion and its contribution to sea level changes in Gulf St. Lawrence.
Along with more than 7 years of work experience and data analysis, coding and developing has always been one of the most attractive parts for me. From 2020, I started to work as geomatics developer in remote sensing and GIS. I designed and implemented python-based web application to optimize satellite imagery processing and creation of geospatial data and standard GIS products.


New in the portfolio – Booster.ai. Booster is an artificially intelligent weather predictor, founded in 2014 in Argentina and backed by SOSV Venture Capital Fund (Princeton, NJ)(see also FOOD X – Food Innovation Accelerator in the World Booster has built a weather forecast model from scratch powered by the most advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, which generates extremely accurate weather predictions just by analyzing data from the past. Weather variability affects $3 Trillion worth of economic activity in the U.S. each year. Traditional meteorology requires enormous quantities of data, and involves high costs. Booster has created a proprietary meteorological model using AI and machine learning to build predictions based on decades of historical weather data. With the help of machine learning and advanced neural networks, Booster’s weather predictions match or exceed the most accurate data on the market, at 1/100th of the cost. Booster is bringing the first true innovation to weather prediction in more than 70 years.


Hope everyone had a great 4th!
I didn’t know I had today off and actually went in this morning. I got sent home and got to complete phase I of my little bedroom project. On the way home, I stopped at Lowe’s and picked up an electrical junction box, some wiring and parts for a new electrical box that will be needed in my closet, since it doesn’t have an outlet.
After an hour of splicing and whatnot, I know have the necessary 20A outlet for my HTPC equipment. I’m already using it for a surge protector in my attic that powers a distribution switch. I’ll also use it to power the TV when the time comes. Don’t mind the coin wrappers…it is the top shelf of a closet afterall :)
I also found a 25ft HDMI cable that I forgot I had (black cable in the image above), so I will be sending the HDMI-over-CAT6 wall plates back. I went ahead and drilled the necessary 1″ hole for that and dropped it down through the wall. Once the wall mount comes in, I’ll fish it out and run the power and speaker wires. My HTPC and receiver will find a home in the built-in closet shelving. It’s not as deep as I’d like, but it will work. At the very least, it will be out of the way and quiet. There’s a vent in that closet, so the components will be much cooler than they are now.
This is how things are right now, for comparison’s sake. You can see some of the wear-and-tear that media cabinet has if you look closely. Aside from that, it just takes up way too much room.
My MonoPrice order is supposed to arrive on Wednesday. Of that, I’ll be sending back the HDMI-over-Ethernet wall plates I mentioned, but I’ll also be sending back the wireless IR relay system I bought. SmartHome.com had a sale on a Xantech IR receiver that I had looked at before, so I decided to snatch that up and do a hard-wired relay system. The Hidden Link receiver is LCD and CFL interference proof, so I’m pretty certain it will be much more reliable. That shipment is scheduled for delivery next Saturday, so we’ll see. That would be just in time if it does… (the delivery date has since been updated for Thursday – yay!).


In Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL), the use of web2.0 technologies is now actively being researched, under banners such as "Personal Learning Environments" or "Open Learning Environments" and the like. In this workshop, we discussed how we can leverage the same opportunities for our research on TEL. Indeed, as researchers in Technology Enhanced Learning we already know how to include things like blogs, wikis, and forums into the heart of our work to enhance collaborative working, but a full "Science 2.0" framework might provide us with a much more powerful framework to make our research more effective. The workshop took place in the context of the 4th European Conference on Technology-Enhanced Learning and brought together those who want to turn a vision of the e-scholar and e-scientist of the 21st Century into reality in our own domain of TEL.
There are 7 tracks in this podcast:
|Reflections on Participatory Science for TELSci2.0 (Underwood, Luckin, Smith, Walker, Rowland, Fitzpatrick, Good, Benford)|
Technology is undoubtedly enabling scientists to do research in interesting new ways. However, Science 2.0 is about more than improved workflows, efficiency and sharing within communities, it also offers opportunities to greatly broaden participation beyond existing scientific communities and bridge between communities. These developments bring significant challenges: we need both scientists and a public that can fully understand and exploit the opportunities for technology enhanced participatory science. In this paper we are interested in pointing to implications for TEL research as participatory science. In order to do this we extrapolate from our work designing participatory science activities with teachers and learners both within and outside of school. We derive guidelines for designing participatory science learning and teaching and reflect on how these guidelines might apply to our own discipline, and the development of participatory TEL research.
|Social networking in scientific conferences - Twitter as tool for strengthen a scientific community (Reinhardt, Ebner)|
Twitter is the fastest growing member community of the last year. With a rate of 1382% it grows 6 times faster than for example the world biggest social networking application Facebook. In this paper we ask how Twitter can serve as resource at scientific conferences and support the scientific community. Furthermore we ask if Twitter ads any scientific value to conferences. We chose this year ED-MEDIA conference as example for the use of Twitter at a scientific conference and show how the micro-blogging tool got seamlessly integrated in the well-known communication infrastructure of conferences.
|EC-TEL conference network (Ochoa)|
Xavier Ochoa introduces into the conference social network application.
Jan Reichelt introduces into Mendeley, the academic networking platform.
|Science 2.0 Practices in the Field of Technology Enhanced Learning (Kieslinger, Lindstaedt)|
In the context of the European Network of Excellence called STELLAR, which brings together a number of European research organisations in the field of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL), a group of researchers aim to set up an environment for supporting Science 2.0 practices specifically for the interdisciplinary field of TEL. So far, the focus of the discussion has been on the tools and mash-up services that should be provided for the academic community in TEL. However, in order to talk about the tools and the appropriate technological landscape it is important to define the concept of Science 2.0 as well as the processes and practices that this concept embraces.
|Visualizing Research Patterns in the Field of e-Learning (Khan, Ebner, Taraghi)|
In this paper we have performed a content analysis of Ed-Media conferences publications from 2003 to 2008 using our internally built visualization tool to realize various research patterns in the field of e-learning. We identified 3668 different research terms from 4607 articles’ titles. The visualization tool revealed the trends of contributions in the field over the years, evolution or decline of research terms, hot research terms, key researchers, leading institutions and nations across the world, evolution of countries, continents and institutions in comparison to each other. The results in this study will allow novice and experienced educators, researchers in the field of elearning to understand what kind of different research terms exist and to identify different research patterns over the last six years in this field.
|Science 2.0: Supporting a Doctoral Community of Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning using Social Software (Gillet, El Helou, Joubert, Sutherland)|
The STELLAR European network of Excellence (NoE) represents the effort of leading European institutions and projects in Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) to unify their diverse and sometimes fragmented community. This paper focuses on the ways in which STELLAR supports doctoral candidates through the establishment of a Doctoral Community of Practice (CoP) in Technology Enhanced Learning as a STELLAR doctoral integration instrument for the doctoral stakeholder community.
