GUEST POST WRITTEN BY Dr. Mike Lloyd The Internet of Things crashed into the old Internet on Oct 21st, and it wasn’t pretty. A specialized but fairly simple bit of malware known as Mirai was used to cause huge numbers of simple Internet-connected devices (cameras, home routers, baby monitors, etc.) to flood the infrastructure of a service provider called Dyn. This...

The world around us is moving towards pervasive connectivity, and as a result, any connected device can be a potential Point of Sale (PoS). This is exactly what the new initiative by IBM and Visa intends to accomplish, by combining “the business of the Internet of Things with the technology of the Internet of Things.” As IBM and Visa...

Larry Hardesty | MIT News Office The “internet of things” is the idea that vehicles, appliances, civil structures, manufacturing equipment, and even livestock will soon have sensors that report information directly to networked servers, aiding with maintenance and the coordination of tasks. Those sensors will have to operate at very low powers, in order to extend battery life for months or...

By Jean-Marc F. Blanchard Over the past 12 months or so, there has been growing angst around the world, especially in the United States, about China’s designs in the semiconductor sector. These ambitions are not new and constitute an integral part of China’s efforts since the 1950s to gain national technological independence, enhance its military capabilities and control over information,...

The Hitachi Semiconductor Strain Sensor is a highly accurate, built-in torque sensor for controlling drive mechanisms in real-time. Conventionally, strain gauges or crystal piezoelectric devices have been used for torque measurements at the experimental level. However, because of their large size and low durability, it is difficult to integrate such devices into machines. It guarantees a high measurement accuracy...

Available in LA05-05 and LA15-16 models, VCAs incorporate Neodymium Iron Boron magnets. VCAs measure 12‒38 mm in diameter and 12‒40 mm in length and are ½ and 2 in. in size. Units are suitable for semiconductor, military, aerospace, microelectronics, test and measurement applications. BEI Kimco, a brand of Sensata Technologies, has developed new VCAs to meet the high-purity and low...

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Russian Aerospace Forces carried out on February 7-9 snap drills involving 46,000 personnel and some 1,800 pieces of military equipment. "The inspection confirmed the need...

In this article, I clarify the various roles of the data scientist, and how data science compares and overlaps with related fields such as machine learning, deep learning, AI, statistics, IoT, operations research, and applied mathematics. As data science is a broad discipline, I start by describing the different types of data scientists that one may encounter in any...
