There are two levels of a navigational systems interface to keep in mind while investigating behavior related to user friendliness of GPS devices. One level speaks to the screen output and user input characteristics and the other level comes into play from experiencing the behavior aspects of actual on-the-road usage. Refer back to these two [...]

At the building site, contractors need access to the company database, as well as other information. With the right receivers, the data can be accessed remotely, via a laptop, mobile phone or other device, preventing the need for large on-site computers, lowering costs and making the foreman’s job just a little easier. Valuable data include [...]

A database driven wireless multiplexer that accepts multiple frequencies and protocols from various devices—no matter which vendor or application—and converts them to a common data model could dramatically improve hybrid design efforts in GPS driven asset tracking management systems. The same breakthrough can also contribute to the development of systems management software to direct and [...]

Wireless technologies will become massive in its pervasiveness and impact virtually every aspect of life evolving well beyond mobile phones and PDAs to other devices, services, channels and content. Microwave circuits afford more frequency spectrum and very short antennas. With GaAs and SiGe, entire microwave transceivers can be inexpensively put on a single chip. New [...]

Telemetry and Database Driven Robotics Challenges such as voice, obstacle and image recognition, emotional response, and eye-hand coordination still remain. High-performance processors, hardware to provide situational awareness, and improved artificial intelligence (AI) are enabling researchers to create lifelike robots that run or have facial expressions. High intelligence is a missing ingredient. Considerable progress will be [...]

The trend toward the miniaturization of sensor systems will have a significant effect on how the environment is studied and monitored. “Systems on a chip” technology, for example, may replace chemistry and biology laboratories with portable hand-size instruments used for rapid chemical or biological agent detection and quantification in a myriad of situations. It is [...]
