GNSS-Independent Time Synchronization: The New Era for Critical National Services The current geopolitical landscape is affecting the way we use the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), like the Global Positioning System (GPS). GPS disruptions and outages are becoming a recurrent phenomenon, with GNSS jamming turning into a key practice of electronic warfare. Europe is experiencing a dramatic rise in GPS/GNSS-related targeting. Examples include the Norwegian Communication Authority’s reporting that in 2024, there were almost daily disturbances to its GPS navigation. In addition, according to Eurocontrol, the European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation, during the first two months of 2024, it received 985 GPS outages compared with 1,371 for the whole of 2023. This phenomenon showcases that GNSS jamming poses risks to global navigation and the safety of aviation, shipping, and other transport networks and causes significant financial damage. According to a report by Lon...

Ether CAT measurement terminals in wind farm monitoring The UK aims to build enough wind farms to power every household by 2030. The potential of wind power was demonstrated by a recent record, when on a single day in January wind farms produced 19,835 megawatts, which is enough to cover more than half of England’s electricity needs. The increased investment in renewable energy will be essential to hit the 2050 goal of Net Zero. Pulse Structural Monitoring Ltd, an Acteon company, have been tasked with monitoring selected turbine foundations in new wind farms, the solution is delivered by using Beckhoff technology and EtherCAT measurement terminals in particular throughout the design. According to Pulse, the UK has become a world leader in offshore wind energy, with more capacity installed than any other country. However, offshore wind farms present difficulties due to the environment, making continuous monitoring of the whole turbine essential. By continuously monitoring the turbine, ...

This illustration depicts a graphical representation of the two-layer SMA structure. John H. Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio Innovators at NASA Glenn developed a next-generation, non-pneumatic, compliant tire structure based on shape memory alloy (SMA) elements. This new structure builds upon previous work related to airless tires designed for rovers used in planetary exploration. The use of SMAs capable of undergoing high strain as load-bearing components results in a tubular structure that can withstand excessive deformation without permanent damage. These structures can perform similarly to traditional pneumatic tires but with no risk of puncture or loss of tire pressure. The new technology is an extension of previous non-pneumatic metal-mesh tire designs developed at Glenn but with a structural pattern that improves manufacturability and offers design flexibility for customization. The technology utilizes SMA structural elements (wires and springs) interlocked via a unique ...

What Is Smart Dust? Smart dust is a wireless network of tiny sensors that autonomously collect and transmit data from their environment. Each “mote” of these micro-electromechanical systems are about the size of a grain of sand and can detect external stimuli such as light, temperature, movement, sound, chemicals and air pressure in real time. Their small size and lightweight, silicon construction allows them to suspend in the air, like dust. What Is Smart Dust? Smart dust is a system of tiny electromechanical sensors that detect and wirelessly transmit real-time data from their environment. Measured at one cubic millimeter or less, these devices are dispersed in large quantities as a networked cluster suspended in mid-air. What Is Smart Dust? Smart dust is a cluster of small sensors — measuring at one cubic millimeter or less — that communicate and transmit data in real time over a wireless network. Originally developed by researchers at University of California, Berkeley, these devi...

Why Is This Wireless Power System A Breakthrough For Efficiency? Energy and spectral efficiency are crucial considerations for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). While most system architectures approach these as separate considerations, they may grow closer together in the future. A new wireless power transfer technology could prove a critical step forward in terms of both energy and communication. SWIPT-NOMA-DAS: The Next Step In Wireless Power Transfer Wireless power transfer itself is not new. Nikola Tesla was the first to experiment with it in the early 1900s and inductive charging is now standard in smartphones. However, the practice has struggled to overcome range constraints. Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) holds even more potential for the IIoT, as it combines wireless charging with normal IoT communications. This concept, too, has seen rising research interest but has failed to reach its promised value. While scientists have achieved simult...

The advancement of autonomous vehicle technology has brought about a growing need for robust object detection and tracking systems to ensure safe and efficient operation in diverse environmental conditions. Traditional object detection systems often rely on individual sensors such as LiDAR or cameras, each with its strengths and limitations. LiDAR sensors provide accurate depth information but may struggle in adverse weather conditions or low-light environments. To overcome the limitations of individual sensors and enhance detection capabilities, the integration of multiple sensors through fusion techniques has emerged as a promising solution. LiDAR-camera sensor fusion combines the strengths of LiDAR's depth perception with the visual information captured by cameras. The Current Study The methodology employed in this study for enhanced object detection in autonomous vehicles through LiDAR-camera sensor fusion involved a comprehensive approach integrating data from LiDAR point clo...

How are satellites used to observe the ocean? Satellites can "see the sea" in ways that are otherwise impossible. The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-16 (GOES-16) is the first of NOAA's next generation of geostationary weather satellites. Among the many missions of this satellite, it will collect ocean and climate data. Satellites are amazing tools for observing the Earth and the big blue ocean that covers more than 70 percent of our planet. By remotely sensing from their orbits high above the Earth, satellites provide us much more information than would be possible to obtain solely from the surface. Using satellites, NOAA researchers closely study the ocean. Information gathered by satellites can tell us about ocean bathymetry, sea surface temperature, ocean color, coral reefs, and sea and lake ice. Scientists also use data collection systems on satellites to relay signals from transmitters on the ground to researchers in the field—used in applications...

The Digital Operational Resilience Act puts pressure on IT services and capabilities that reduce risks and vulnerabilities. Here’s how to more easily comply with the regulation. Digital transformation initiatives, for the most part, offer significant advantages—enhancing efficiency, agility, and innovation across the business. However, these initiatives can also introduce new challenges. As IT landscapes and software delivery processes evolve, the risk of inadvertently creating new vulnerabilities increases. Left unaddressed, these gaps can result in cyberattacks, system outages, and network intrusions. These risks are particularly critical for financial services institutions, which are now under greater scrutiny with the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). This comprehensive regulation applies to all financial institutions in the European Union (EU), as well as third-party providers of information and communication technology (ICT) services to financial entities. Only small fi...
