Time-sensitive Networking (TSN) on Ethernet is a promising communication technology in the automotive and industrial automation industries due to its real-time and high-bandwidth communication capabilities. Time-triggered scheduling and static routing are often adopted in these areas due to high requirements on predictability for safety-critical applications. Deadline-constrained routing and scheduling in TSN have been studied extensively in past research. However, scheduling and routing with reliability requirements in the context of transient faults are not yet studied. In this work, we propose an Satisfiability Modulo Theory-based technique to perform scheduling and routing that takes both reliability constraints and end-to-end deadline constraints into consideration. Heuristics have been applied to improve the scalability of the solution. Extensive experiments have been conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed technique.

A new signal processing technique has been developed for resistive metal oxide (MOX) gas sensors to enable high-bandwidth measurements and enhanced selectivity at PPM levels (<50 PPM VOCs). An embedded micro-heater is thermally pulsed from 225 to 350 °C, which enables the chemical reactions in the sensor film (e.g., SnO2, WO3, NiO) to be extracted using a fast Fourier transform. Signal processing is performed in real-time using a low-cost microcontroller integrated into a sensor module. The approach enables the remove of baseline drift and is resilient to environmental temperature changes. Bench-top experimental results are presented for 50 to 200 ppm of ethanol and CO, which demonstrate our sensor system can be used within a mobile robot.

Recording and manipulating neuronal ensemble activity is a key requirement in advanced neuromodulatory and behavior studies. Devices capable of both recording and manipulating neuronal activity brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) should ideally operate un-tethered and allow chronic longitudinal manipulations in the freely moving animal. In this study, we designed a new intracortical BCI feasible of telemetric recording and stimulating local gray and white matter of visual neural circuit after irradiation exposure. To increase the translational reliance, we put forward a Göttingen minipig model. The animal was stereotactically irradiated at the level of the visual cortex upon defining the target by a fused cerebral MRI and CT scan. A fully implantable neural telemetry system consisting of a 64 channel intracortical multielectrode array, a telemetry capsule, and an inductive rechargeable battery was then implanted into the visual cortex to record and manipulate local field potentials, and multi-unit activity. We achieved a 3-month stability of the functionality of the un-tethered BCI in terms of telemetric radio-communication, inductive battery charging, and device biocompatibility for 3 months. Finally, we could reliably record the local signature of sub- and suprathreshold neuronal activity in the visual cortex with high bandwidth without complications. The ability to wireless induction charging combined with the entirely implantable design, the rather high recording bandwidth, and the ability to record and stimulate simultaneously put forward a wireless BCI capable of long-term un-tethered real-time communication for causal preclinical circuit-based closed-loop interventions.

People use a wide range of communicative acts, from concrete demonstrations to abstract language. What are the strengths and weaknesses of such different modalities? We present a series of real-time, multi-player experiments asking participants to teach (Boolean) concepts using either demonstrations or language. Our first experiment (N = 454) manipulated the complexity of the concept, finding that linguistic (but not demonstrative) teaching enables high-fidelity transmission of more complex concepts. Why, then, do humans use both demonstrations and language? As a form of conventionalized communication, language relies on shared context between speaker and listener, whereas demonstrations are inherently grounded in the world. We hypothesized linguistic communication would be more sensitive to perturbations of shared context than demonstrations. Our second experiment (N = 568) manipulated teachers’ ability to see the features that defined the concept. This restriction severely impaired linguistic (but not demonstrative) teaching. Our comparative approach confirms language relies on shared context to permit high bandwidth communication; in contrast, demonstrations are lower-bandwidth but more robust.

Abstract: In the world of technology that is increasing, then as humans we will not be separated from the process improvement that occurs. From year to year, it is certain that this increase will certainly. Increasingly rapidly occurring in communication technology. Communication technology has also penetrated the military world, especially in MQTT-based communications. In this research, MQTT-based technology is applied to implement real time tracking system on android. This system is used to send the longitude and latitude coordinates of the personnel so that these points can be known directly via android. From this pure experimental research method, the coordinate point data will continue to be monitored and the existence can be known continuously. This system is designed on a VPS server or Virtual Private Server, so that all devices even though none of the networks can communicate with  each  other  as  long  as  they  have  access  rights  for application user.
