Arduino 101: Pattern Matching on the Intel® Quark™ SE Microcontroller

On noviembre 15, 2016 in Dev Tools, IoT by Lynnette Reese

Machines have never been as good as the human brain for sensing, perceiving, thinking about, or interpreting visual images. The human brain is also quite effective at “filling in the blanks” by making assumptions about the world around it. In some circumstances, the brain falls prey to a phenomenon referred to as an “optical illusion” in the common vernacular.

The Internet of Space: Intelligence for What You Least Expect, When You Least Expect It

On septiembre 27, 2016 in IoT by Lynnette Reese

Hundreds of femtosatellites, called Sprites, were shipped into space on the first KickSat, which started as a KickStarter project to launch what amounts to personal satellites. Andy’s vision of the femtosat includes an engine for his IoS vision driven by the Intel® Quark™ D2000 microcontroller with an ultra-low-power core running at 32 MHz (and currently undergoing space qualification.)

The Competitive Advantage to the Hall Solution

On septiembre 22, 2016 in IoT, Sensors by Rudy Ramos

Current predictions on the future of Internet of Things (IoT) and the Wearables market indicate exponential growth in the years to come. An analysis done by Morgan Stanley in 2013 stated that “75 billion devices will be connected to the internet of things by 2020.” Undoubtedly, some of this growth will extend to sensors.

Open Source RTOS Comes to IoT

On septiembre 6, 2016 in Dev Tools, IoT by Lynnette Reese

The complexity of IoT extends beyond simple projects. If you were to take all the useful data and manipulate it, you could find patterns that point to changes that can increase productivity, reduce wait times, or point to trends that help improve processes or locate potential failures.

Building a Business Case for the IoT

On agosto 24, 2016 in IoT by Steven Keeping

Those of us of a certain age survived in the period before the Internet, yet, such has been the transformative power of the technology, even we have difficulty working out how. But today’s Internet is just the beginning; extending it to billions of tiny, inexpensive sensors that continuously generate useful data will exponentially multiply the network’s power and its influence over daily life.

The Internet of Things - In Spaaaaaaace!

On julio 21, 2016 in IoT by Bill Giovino

When I think of the International Space Station (ISS), I think of smiling astronauts giving TV interviews while floating weightless in some sort of tube. Meanwhile, the rest of us wonder "what exactly are they doing up there"? Well, it should come as no surprise to you that the Internet of Things (IoT) has finally reached space.

Intel®'s Quark™ D2000 SBC & the Open Source nano-RTOS

On junio 28, 2016 in IoT by Lynnette Reese

Intel® is doing it again: they are almost giving away stuff and definitely giving away other stuff. A new member of the Quark family is out, and Intel’s Quark™ D2000 Microcontroller Developer Kit is offered at a very affordable price and has some exceptional tools thrown in for free.

The Internet of Useful Things, or “The World’s Most Expensive Egg Timer”

On junio 8, 2016 in All, Automation, IoT by Lynnette Reese

How did we get here? I could use several lifetimes up just in projects. The tools available to the masses seem to be fueled by IoT. We can all engineer a little IoT, apparently.

The Internet of Saving Things

On mayo 30, 2016 in All, IoT by Warren Miller

The Internet of Things is going to dramatically change the ways in which we manage the many Things in our lives. Just look at the changing nature of our personal possessions. One of the biggest changes for me is reflected in the size of my book, CD and DVD cases.

The Internet of Finding Things

On mayo 12, 2016 in IoT by Warren Miller

To me, the projections for the number of Things we will have in the Internet of Things is mind boggling. Cisco projects that there will be 50 billion devices connected to the Internet by 2020. That’s a big number. How are we going to keep track of all our IoT ‘Things’ when there are that many of them? I have trouble keeping track of my phone, car keys and TV remote control.
