Sensor networks are highly distributed networks of small, lightweight wireless nodes, deployed in large numbers to monitor the environment or system by the measurement of physical parameters such as ...

For office and household users, the intermittent unreliability of computer networks is a frustrating inconvenience, but for scientific researchers it can disrupt data pipeline necessary to advance ...

Distributed inference when the participants are only machines or electronic devices, e.g., sensors, has been explored extensively in the signal processing and machine learning literature. However, ...

One way to design an underwater monitoring device is to take inspiration from nature and emulate an underwater creature. [Michael Barton-Sweeney] is making devices in the shape of, and functioning ...

Distribution of quantum states generated by a central node to each node, phase encoding at each node, and estimation of arbitrary linear combinations of phases through local measurements. Precise ...

Ordinary visible matter accounts for only about 4.9 percent of the universe, while dark matter makes up about 26.8 percent. Axions are hypothetical, extremely light particles—with field-like ...

Sensor network projects often focus primarily on electronic design elements, such as architecture and wireless transmission methods for sensors and gateways. Equally important, however, are physical ...
