The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) allows more sensors to be used for monitoring, detection and security purposes. However, this also introduces new problems to the user: Short sensor's lifespan (due to reliance on battery as the main power source) affecting the service operation, Cost and hassle associated with frequent maintenance and

A European start-up company has developed the world's smallest gas flow sensor. The tiny 3.5 mm x 3.5 mm CMOS MEMS sensor is small enough to fit into virtually any product and can be positioned where measurements matter. Examples of use cases include: active filter monitoring in vacuum cleaners, air-conditioning units and other consumer appliances;

Living Plant Installations is an integrally unique way of interacting with the vegetal environment. By converting plants into biological switches, we can activate lights, sounds, music, videos, and a myriad of other devices by touching plant leaves. Applications in smart cities, architecture, domotics, experiential marketing, events, and city space

Every day, the use of sensors in agriculture b e c o m e s m o r e widespread . Sensors are used to measure climate conditions and soil parameters (such as humidity and pH), t o predict crop yields and to identify potential dangers . Chemical batteries are the most common solution for the storage of energy in smart agriculture systems. They exhibit

This technology offers a novel model-predictive distributed control method and a flexible and cost effective IoT implementation architecture for energy saving in building HVAC systems. It is scalable and real-time optimally responsive to changes in a large building that has more than 500 zones via a patented token-based HVAC scheduling strategy. Th

This optical fibre sensor has been developed in cooperation with an industrial collaborator that has an application requiring a sensor capable of measuring humidity in a harsh waste water treatment environment. The sensor employs a Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) which acts as the basis of the Relative Humidity (RH) sensor design and the humidity sensing

We have developed a hardware cum software IoT platform that will make it easier and cheaperto collect data or send alerts/messages from standard machines, instruments, sensors and meters installed in remote places - over low power wide area wireless networks (LPWAN) such as Sigfox, LoRa &NB-IoT. Our first products arenovel plug & play communication

An unmanned aerial vehicle that stably moves along walls under circumstances including regions inaccessible by people such as safety inspection of massive structures and high-rise buildings, access to a fire scene to complete a given mission. 1. A building inspection robot that uses a conventional vacuum lifter or independent infrastructure has a l

This technology combines noise and vibration technology, state-of-the-art materials and smart electronic devices. The effect of noise cancelling or vibration damping is achieved through an electronically coupled piezoelectric material, which dissipates the vibration energy of a structure. This is an alternative technique where the performance of pa

The mechanical ventilation system is one of the most energy-demanding systems in the buildings, which operates on a 12-months basis. Air balancing is a promising technique to ensure the airflow rate evenly distribution to each zone according to its requirements to achieve the purpose of energy saving. The conventional air balancing method is essent

Commercially available thermal barrier panels in the construction and building industry are typically made of glass fiber reinforced refractory materials (more commonly, magnesia and gypsum) or fiber cement boards. With high costs associated with these boards (in particular magnesia and fiber cement) along with their susceptibility to hydrolysis (w

The standalone locking solution leverages the functional elements of a lockset and the latest technologies to meet enterprise application demands. This locking solution is particularly helpful to improve existing solution where reliable and flexible multiple access control is required at remote location. This solution incorporate latest cloud-based

Locating a parking lot can be time consuming, and is an inefficient use of fuel. The occupancy state and turnover rate for traditional roadside parking are often not recorded, or can be inaccurate. This smart parking solution will allow users to find available parking lots with ease, and can be implemented easily at a low cost. A device is placed a
