Experimental Applications of Mapping Services in Wireless Sensor NetworksM H
Wireless sensor networks typically gather data at a number of locations. However, it is desirable to be able to design applications and reason about the data in more abstract forms than points of data. This paper examines one way in which this can be done. By bestowing the ability to predict inter-node values upon the network, it is proposed that it will become possible to build applications that are unaware of the concrete reality of sparse data. This interpolation capability is realised as a service of the network. We present an implementation of this service and discuss its merits and shortcomings. Additionally, we present an initial application of the service in the form of isopleth generation. That is, the delineation of contours of constant parameter value. Finally, we discuss the improvements required to create more sophisticated applications and services and examine the benefits these improvements would bring.

8. Research Sponsorship
• Many mechanisms and models exist
• Typically support ongoing investigations by
individual faculty or groups of faculty
• excellent leverage of corporate R&D funds
• Examples of sponsorship options available at MIT
single company (higher cost but more exclusivity)
multi-company (leverage costs and share results)
Small group of companies with common interests band together
with faculty to develop a focused collaboration on a narrow topic,
outside a consortium model
Organized like single-sponsor projects, through participants’ or
faculty members’ own networks
consortia and collegia (multi-sponsored shared arrangements)
8
9. Consortia
• Bring multiple companies together to sponsor research
in a field of inquiry
• Examples at MIT:
– closed consortia
fixed number of members define and share all research and
administrative expenses and share all pre-publication results
and licensing opportunities
example: Consortium for Advancement of Manufacturing in
Pharmaceuticals (8 companies)
– open consortia
open membership
current members pay annual fee and share all pre-publication
results and licensing opportunities, with right to sponsor
additional projects
example: Media Laboratory (>100 companies)
9
10. Confidentiality in University/Industry Relationships
• NDA’s
– Single Faculty or University
– Normal Protocols
– Caution on Both Sides
– Short term
– Specific and event driven.
• Research Publication
– Essential to Faculty/Mission of University
– Review Period for Sponsor Prior to Publication
10
11. Exchanging Personnel
• Usually arranged as part of sponsored research
• Company sponsors a senior scientist to participate in the
research at the university as a “visiting fellow”
• Allows company scientist:
– to participate directly in the research to enhance transfer of learning back to
the company
– to participate in other university activities and develop a broad network at
the university
• Provides a prestigious benefit to top corporate researchers
11
12. Consulting
• Most faculty seek private consulting
relationships with industry
– at MIT: 20% of faculty time for consulting
– helps faculty be aware of real-world challenges
– helps keep research current, meeting needs
– broadens faculty professional networks
– helps develop placement opportunities for
students and graduates
12
13. Consulting
• Benefits for companies:
– brings in valuable outside expertise to solve current, short-
and long-term problems
– helps broaden corporate vision for planning
– allows company to protect confidentiality and ownership of
intellectual property
– usually negotiated as personal services contracts with
individual faculty

25. TLO’s Mission
Bring about commercial investment to
develop inventions from MIT research
–To bring therapies and other products into
public use
–To show the public, Congress, and funding
agencies tangible results of basic research
–To allow faculty and students to see real-
world results of their research
–For economic development—in
Massachusetts and nationally
Content courtesy of Lita Nelsen director of the TLO
25
26. Technology Licensing Office Statistics
• 500 new invention disclosures/year
• 100 new technology licenses/year
• 15-30 new companies/year
• Over 650 active licenses
• About 300 spinout companies total
Spinouts particularly important for “Break-through”
technologies
– Investments are large
– Time-to-market long
– Risk of success very high
– Large, existing companies reluctant (or unable) to invest at such an
early stage
Effect on earnings
Disruptive to their own R&D agendas
– But ready to buy products/company at substantial price when spin-out
reduces risk and time-to-market
Content courtesy of Lita Nelsen director of the TLO
26
27. MIT’s Patent and Licensing Goals
• See that ideas are practiced broadly
• Maximize benefits to general society
• Enhance the educational process
• Create companies and jobs
• Provide funds to patent future ideas
• Provide modest income to MIT
Content courtesy of Lita Nelsen director of the TLO
27
28. The Tech Transfer Bargain
• University research leads to patent—but technology is
unproven and high risk
• University is willing to grant exclusive patent license to
Company who will commit to the risk of developing the
technology
• If development succeeds, the patent protects the Company
from competitors
• University benefits from product being developed and from
royalties (shared with inventor)
Content courtesy of Lita Nelsen director of the TLO
28
29. Strategy: do a lot!
The Volume Strategy
• Aim to maximize the number of technologies being
developed
– Rather than try to pick a few “winners” and concentrate on them
• 100 license/year—20-30 startups
Why are we able to do so much?
• LOTS of world-class technology—dependent on government
support of basic research
• Good IP protection
• Consistent Tech Transfer policies throughout the university
– It’s about Impact, not (primarily) Income
• An experienced Technology Licensing Office
Content courtesy of Lita Nelsen director of the TLO
29
30. Advantages of the “Volume Strategy”
• Maximizes participation of faculty and students in the
technology transfer process
• Maximizes number of technologies invested in by
companies and VC’s
• Maximizes probability of hitting a home run
• Technology is probably too early to be able to pick the
winners!
Content courtesy of Lita Nelsen director of the TLO
30
