Security Breach In Oil Refineries

Many critical infrastructures such as oil and gas pipelines are probable targets for hackers. This is due to the fact that many industries are controlled with supervisory control and data acquisition, or SCADA, systems. The systems are older, installed at…

Tiny Sensors to Detect Explosives, Bio Weapons, Rotten Food

Researchers at the  Naval Research Laboratory (NRL)  – Christopher Field, Junghoon Yeom, Daniel Ratchford, Hyun Jin In and Pehr E Pehrsson have figured out how to manufacture nanowires reliably using existing technology as tiny sensors built into military combat gear to detect chemical or biological…

Empowering Wireless Sensor Networks below Ground Surfaces

A group of scientist led by Dr. Ian F, Akyildiz, Ken Byers Chair Professor in Telecommunications of the Broadband Wireless Networking lab, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology (Ga Tech) and collaborators have come up with…

From Motion Sensors to Wearable Cameras

Shiraga et al proposed a novel gait-based person authentication by wearable cameras, and quantitatively evaluate its authentication accuracy; which is in contrast to previous methods using motion sensors. They utilized wearable cameras for personal authentication by examining motion during walking…

Research on wireless sensor networks node localization

Different sensors in different information and their exploitation in intelligent tasks remain a challenge. Given a wireless sensor network consisting of low-power devices, localization is the task of discovering the 2D or 3D positions of the sensor nodes. According to…

New Directions in Measurement and Control

  The National Telford Institute Advanced Research Workshop in partnership with the Scottish Sensor Systems Centre invites academia, industry and government to attend the forthcoming event: Wireless Sensor Networking and its Engineering Applications: New Directions in Measurement and Control  …
