Guide to Comparing Gyro and IMU Technologies - MEMS and Fiber Optic GyrosKVH Industries
Engineers designing gyro-stabilized systems for manned or unmanned applications must compare the attributes of various gyro technologies to determine which sensors offer the required performance parameters. Depending on the specifics of the application being designed, some performance criteria are more important than others. A reliable means of comparing common critical performance parameters is a necessary tool for designers and engineers. This paper compares gyro and inertial measurement technologies using distinct performance criteria of fiber optic gyros (FOGs) and FOG-based inertial systems, and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS)-based gyros and MEMS inertial systems. It focuses on the five key critical performance areas of industrial and tactical grade gyros, as well as current and trending applications for both FOGs and MEMS.
The aim of this project is to develop under water communication system using the Zigbee protocol stack. This is very useful to find out any problem in caves and mines. An embedded system is a special purpose system in which the compute is completely encapsulated by or dedicated to the device or system. It controls personal digital assistant (PDAs) or handheld computers are generally considered embedded devices because of the nature of their hardware design, even though they are more expandable in software terms.

Secondary theoretical analysis of swellingHarry Ramza
Analysis of the swelling silicone coating on the optical sensor head has been calculated based on the time and length-different due to exposure. In initial state, cladding refractive index (n2) is higher than core refractive index (n1). This situation cause the light that propagate in fiber optic leak to atmosphere. In the exposed state, cladding refractive index will decrease and results in light propagating based on total internal reflection. This situation has been described and calculated from the beginning until the maximum value.
Low Coherence Interferometry: From Sensor Multiplexing to Biomedical ImagingAntonio Lobo
Interferometric sensors offer the highest accuracy in optical metrology, but a basic problem is all systems of this type is how to transduce optical information from an interferometer to an electrical signal with sufficient accuracy and reproducibility, over a reasonable large measurement range with re-initialization capability thus avoiding that optical information being lost. A general interferometric technique providing the above capabilities is often called as “Low Coherence Interferometry (LCI)”, also known, as “White-Light” Interferometry (WLI)”. This talk will review the main characteristics, configurations and methods of using this interferometric technique on the interrogation and multiplexing of fiber optic sensors. Then, its evolution and application towards biomedical optical imaging (namely, optical coherence tomography - OCT), will be addressed taking into consideration, the optical source characteristics used and the different interferometric configuration schemes.

Sensors and Sensing Modules for Smart Homes and Buildings - 2017 Report by Yo...Yole Developpement
Smart homes and buildings: The “Trojan Horse” strategy
To achieve greener and more secure homes and buildings requires a shift in sensing from today’s basic functions such as turning light switches on or off to more advanced functions. Three main drivers are currently leading the smart buildings market:
Better energy control. With 40% of the world’s energy used for buildings, mostly for heating in residential and lighting in commercial, this is a very strong driver.
Increased security with detection of intrusion, fires and seismic activity.
Better comfort for occupants with sensor modules or hubs like those manufactured by Google/Nest, Fibaro, Smarthings, Canary, and Elgato Eve. They generally include 1-10 sensors, an energy source and a wireless module.

From almost zero to a multi-billion dollar market in three years!
Apple introduced the iPhone 5s in 2013, after acquiring Authentec a year earlier. Since then, fingerprint sensors have been massively adopted, and the volumes of sensors shipped into the consumer market have grown incredibly. At first, the sensors were a convenience and protection feature for unlocking phones. However, they are now shifting into a security feature for online identification and mobile payment in an increasing number of smartphones.
From 23 million units in 2013, 689 million fingerprint sensors for smartphones were sold in 2016. This is an incredible 210% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2013 and 2016! The 2016-2022 timeframe will see a more reasonable, but still impressive, 19% CAGR.
Fingerprint sensing is becoming a mandatory feature on every smartphone, adding a lot of value. However such an increase in volume is always followed by strong cost pressure, and this is what has happened over the last three years. The average cost of a fingerprint sensor has decreased from around $5 in 2013 to $3 in 2016, and even less for low-end technologies. And the pressure hasn’t gone away. Current technologies have now reached maturity, and are threatened by new technologies, which need lower cost to gain momentum. This is the case for ultrasonic detection, for instance.

Maximizing the efficiency of dwdm networks 100 gbs and beyondAnuj Malik
TIA 2012 Presentation
100G is here. We are at the cusp of a step upgrade in network fiber bandwidth from hundreds of gigabits to several terabits, an order of magnitude increase in capacity. So far, the 100G discussion has primarily been focused on optics and coherent detection i.e. the fundamental building blocks of 100G. This is akin to figuring out the “how to” of internal combustion – what must be determined now is the “engine block” that wraps around the technology to enable rapid and successful adoption.
We explore the mechanisms that can deliver 100G to your networks efficiently. Why? Because to successfully bring down the total cost of ownership any solution must address not just maximizing fiber investment but also lowering CAPEX and OPEX. We look at various mechanisms with a perspective towards 100G that affect efficiency of space, power and network utilization.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
