SeeMote: In-Situ Visualization and Logging Device for Wireless Sensor Networks

Overview This paper addresses three challenges that are present when building and analyzing Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) as part of ubiquitous computing environment: the need for an in-situ user interface, a data logger, and a power consumption meter. Solutions for the above have been presented using laptops, Personal Digital Assistants (PDA), onboard flash memory chips of limited size (usually 1MB), and laboratory test equipment. All of them have a good utility for the right applications. However, considering a certain variety of WSNs, where size, battery life, and cost are crucial, none of the above solutions is satisfactory.

Intel climbs flash rankings

NAND chips get incorporated into flash cards. Currently, Intel and Spansion make NOR flash memory, used to store code in mobile phones and networking equipment. In flash memory, Intel went from first to fourth and is now second.

Hybrid drive to extend notebook battery life

OneNAND is a relatively new line of chips from Samsung that share some of the characteristics of NAND flash memory, such as a high density and a rapid recording rate, and NOR flash memory, which historically has sported a fast data retrieval rate.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
