Hydraulic impact pile driving is currently the most widely used method for driving monopiles into the seabed. However, this method produces high underwater noise levels that can harm fauna. Therefore, alternative installation technologies are being investigated, developed and tested to deal with this concern. The project description of SIMOX provides additional background information about these new techniques.
To accelerate the development of these alternative installation techniques, a better understanding of their performance and validation of the underlying sound models is required. In this way, we can reduce the uncertainties in predicting the drivability and the relationship between the vibro-piling installation and the offshore underwater noise levels can be established. Less uncertainty will help the industry to design and implement the optimised vibrating drive equipment. It will also provide authorities with better information to develop appropriate regulations regarding noise emissions.
In the SIMOX project, the partners have decided to move from the initially planned nearshore testing to offshore testing. This offers us the opportunity to make use of the already planned offshore campaign in the SIMOX project at a relatively low cost and to collect good noise data.
The COAX project aims to collect offshore piling data and associated data on underwater noise emission and vibrations of the seabed. In addition, we strive to bring the vibration driving technology to a higher Technology Readiness Level (TRL).
In this project, we develop an advanced near-field sound measurement system and an advanced pile instrumentation system that will be linked in the time domain, i.e. synchronous measurements of all physical quantities. We will be testing at various offshore locations to carry out more measurements, repeat tests and do more noise and ground vibration measurements during the pile driving. For the execution of the tests, we will purchase a pile with a more representative diameter/thickness ratio (D/T) of 60 to 70 which will be fully instrumented. This pile size represents XXL monopile dimensions more than the initially envisaged pile in the SIMOX project. This is particularly relevant for validating driving characteristics and noise prediction models.
This project will lead to the following three main results.
1. A high-quality time domain coupled data set enables us to see the correlation between pile driving parameters, pile response, seabed vibrations, and underwater noise emission.
This data set is invaluable because coupled vibrohammer-pile-underwater noise data obtained in typical offshore conditions with realistic pile dimensions are currently unavailable. In addition, for the first time, measurements of the seabed vibrations will be collected synchronously with the rest of the physical quantities (i.e. pile-hammer vibrations, acoustic pressures, etc.) and are expected to be particularly important given the relatively low frequencies involved in vibratory driving. This will also contribute to ecological impact models, in particular (future) models that (will) consider particle motion in addition to the underwater noise in the assessment process.
This data is an essential input for the integrated driving parameter and noise prediction model. The generated data set, together with the tuned prediction models (see point 3), are essential assets to understand the main mechanisms causing excessive underwater noise emission and seabed vibrations during vibratory installation. In practice, with this insight, the specific driving parameters that can lead to excessive noise can be avoided.
2. Measurements of underwater noise generated during pile extraction.
This dataset will be used to improve models for predicting underwater noise and seabed vibrations caused by pile extraction using vibro technology. To date, no validated model exists for modelling the noise emissions and seabed vibrations during pile extraction.
3. Obtained data will enable the validation of integrated models for underwater noise prediction.
Well-tuned and validated underwater noise prediction models provide insight into the main components that cause excessive noise emission during pile driving, such as piling parameters, soil conditions and bathymetry. The models will help the offshore wind industry accelerate the introduction of vibro-technology for installing and decommissioning of piles.

Ding-dong! Crime calling!
As cool as IOT connectivity is, it’s important to remember that having more internet-connected devices in your home presents hackers with more avenues to break into your stuff. Smart assistants and cameras can be hacked to retrieve user data, but for the most part, the companies that develop these devices do their best to patch out any exploits. Still, sometimes things slip through the cracks where you least expect them. Like your doorbell, for example.
Security research firms discovered an exploitable vulnerability in Amazon’s line of Ring smart doorbell cameras. A hacker could theoretically retrieve user password data from any Ring doorbell connected to wi-fi. In fact, they almost hand them right out; anyone who connects to a Ring doorbell over a local network can see passwords written out in plain text, clear as day. Lose your password, lose control of your network, or worse.
“When first configuring the device, the smartphone app must send the wireless network credentials. This takes place in an unsecure manner, through an unprotected access point,” said security organization Bitdefender. “Once this network is up, the app connects to it automatically, queries the device, then sends the credentials to the local network.”
Thankfully, this vulnerability was discovered and patched by Amazon back in September, but the vulnerability’s existence was only learned of this week. Multiple tech companies have gotten some recently for the holes in their smart devices’ programming. A similar incident occurred earlier in the year when it was discovered that Zipato smart hubs could be hacked to remotely unlock someone’s front door.

Dismantled in 4 states a Zetas communication network
The National Defense Secretariat seized 167 antennas, 155 repeaters,
166 power sources, 1,446 radios and 71 computer equipment, which were
used to locate military personnel

Monterrey, NL | Thursday December 1, 2011 Editorial | The
Mexican Army troops dismantled a clandestine radio network
allegedly used by the criminal group Los Zetas to alert members of
the armed forces' presence in all of northeastern Mexico.
Soldiers of the sixth, seventh, eighth and twelfth military zones
took two months to locate, with signal devices, the covert antennas.
The Secretary of National Defense (SEDENA) reported that alleged
"hawks" in the service of Los Zetas used this network of
communication, which was installed in the upper parts of mountains
and unpopulated areas.
A military spokesman said the assurance of the equipment occurred in
the states of Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Coahuila and San Luis Potosi,
where the clandestine network was operating.
A total of 167 antennas were secured, 155 repeaters, 166 power
sources, 1,446 thousand radios, 71 computer equipment, 1,306 hand
held and 1,354 nextel phones.
Underground, technicians in the service of the Zetas repeater
antennas were hidden in rows and painted, located on hills and
mountains to avoid being detected by army helicopters.
"These devices are purchased on the black market, others stolen from
the ranches that use them legally, and the criminals operate their
networks that only they can hear and transmit" the spokesman said.
For the operation of this network they were using solar panels that
supply power to communication devices.
"They operated throughout the northeast, is a form of communication
between them, this is the first time in the four states they have
been seized" he said.
It was reported that to download a secret signal, without the
Ministry of Communications and Transport realizing, used computer
Patrolling the hills, the localization team equipped with radio
emission ( RDF) following the signals went up to where there was the
installation of the network.
Sometimes, the spokesman said, soldiers took up to five days walking
to get where they found hidden antennas. Even to the Saddle Mountain
climbed to verify that there was not an clandestine antenna.

Despite the technical advances, verbal communication remains the most effective method for a company to exchange with its customers or team members. On the other hand, chatbots have now proven their efficiency when it comes to improving businesses’ results by increasing customer satisfaction and reducing the number of incoming contacts that are redundant or repetitive.
In this context, deploying what is now currently called voicebots, conversational robots that communicate through speech using natural language, makes a lot of sense.
Inbenta has created this new connector to use Voicegain platform to create a voice bot for your customers.


Receiving APT signals (Automatic Picture Transmission) is not necessarily complicated. Still, some anterior knowledge comes in handy, particularly to avoid desillusions later. On the following pages, I'll try and describe some of the problems that appear in each part:
A key element is of course the receiver. Below, I'll discuss some of the options available:
With the advent of wide range VHF equipment (particularly of the 'handie'-type), many people entertain the illusion of receiving satellites. Many times, the desillusion afterwards is at least as big. Why? Because the signal transmitted by the weather satellites is not really compatible with the handies. The bandwidth of the birds is too wide for modern equipment. The resulting signal is quite noticeably distorted.
Even though the image may be acceptable (most of the information lost is in the clouded part), another part of the image is used to tell the decoding software how to process (synchronize) the image. It's just this part that is most distorted by the lack of bandwidth. The software just fails to find the image in the audio received (even though some of the software promises to compensate for the loss).
On the web, and in some publications, exist procedures on how to modify the equipment to get acceptable reception. If you decide to dedicate the receiver to satellite operation, this can be a valid solution, but if not, consider the following:
Ah well, if communications equipment is too narrow, surely broadcast FM receivers are wide enough! And surely, the discriminator is wide enough to receive the signal without linearity problems. Here another problem pops up: By using a receiver as wide as an FM receiver (150 kHz), you are inviting other signals to come in at the same time.
Even if there is no interference, you a getting much more noise into the receiver than in a special receiver, and this reduces the sensitivity of the receiver in a way you cannot receive the weak satellite signal in an acceptable way. Compare the power of the satellite with a flashlight at 800 km!
And, now there is actually a lot of interference! A constellation of some 30+ satellites is using nearly the same frequencies as the metsats (OrbComm satellites), and interfere very heavily!
Again, it is possible to modify the receiver, but keep in mind that those things are designed for low-cost commercial work: 20,000 watt transmitters at short range.
A very tempting solution is the large offer for 'scanners', that cover la huge range of frequencies - some up to a few gigahertz. This is a very valid option, and can offer you monitoring other frequencies that are of interest.
The only problem here is not buying the cheapest: Many of these scanners only offer wideband and narrowband filters. Only scanners that offer and intermediate filter (around 50 kHz) are of use and are in fact nearly ideal.
On the market exist a large variety of receivers specially designed for APT reception. These are not as cheap as the above options, but are generally well designed for the job. Mind: quite a few of them do not have adequate filters to eliminate the latest OrbComm interference! Look out...
The majority of these receivers have fixed channels, on the most popular frequencies: 137.3, 137.4, 137.5, 137.62 and 137.85 MHz. Some of them can be remotely controlled.
Even these receivers may have some problems - I had to modify the discriminator of one of the more known brands to eliminate a linearity problem and get a good reception during the complete pass. Still, these receivers are generally a safe bet.
Again, there are quite a few sources for kits. It's a very nice solution, as those kits contain all components necessary for a successfull construction. Some of those may be hard to obtain separately. The construction process is relatively foolproof, and problems are generally limited to after-construction calibration, which is a common problem to most homebrew work.
The last possibility, is to completely homemake the receiver. You can either get one of the several circuits available on the web, or even design your own. This has the advantage of the learning experience, and the satisfaction of doing it. Without some measuring equipment, and some experience, I would advise against it, though.

LyconSys industrial VDSL2/ADSL2 modems from the DSL3M and DSL2M series can be used to replace ISDN or dial-up modems and allow broadband IP connections via VDSL2 and ADSL2 data links. The modems can be operated either with analogue (Annex A) or ISDN-based (Annex B) data links, or "splitter-less" DSL connections (Annex-J). They are thus suitable for use with terminals and industrial PCs. One example of this is for remote maintenance solutions for renewable energy sources, because modern solar parks can often span the areas of several football fields. The larger the installation, the more important permanent monitoring and connection to the power plant control centre are, to allow the operator to react quickly in the event of a fault. Depending on local circumstances, the company LyconSys offers remote maintenance solutions for connection via mobile or landline networks. The systems are especially characterised by their fail-safe characteristics and their robustness. In accordance with the connections and display elements, the top parts of the DIN rail enclosures by OKW were subsequently mechanically processed and an individual front foil was created using digital printing.

NEW DELHI: While touch screen devices
are increasing in popularity, the small screen sizes are proving to be a problem
because users’ fingers block the graphical elements he wishes to work
with. Now, a US researcher at Microsoft has created an interface that gives the
user a semi-transparent view of the device, thus providing easier
Researcher Patrick Baudisch demonstrated his
‘LucidTouch’ technology at TechFest, Microsoft’s annual
display of experimental technology in Redmond on Tuesday.
allows users of touch-screen devices, such as GPS units or mobile phones, to
perform operations from behind the device, so their actions do not block their
view of the display.
The device currently uses a camera mounted
behind the unit; but the researcher is planning to integrate the necessary
sensors into the back panel.
“The key to making this usable is
what we call pseudo-transparency,” said Baudisch. “By overlaying an
image of the user’s hands onto the screen, we create the illusion of the
mobile device itself being semi-transparent. This pseudo-transparency allows
users to accurately acquire targets while not occluding the screen with their
fingers and hand.
LucidTouch also supports multi-touch input,
allowing users to operate the device simultaneously with all 10 fingers.
Baudisch envisions myriad uses for the device, from navigation tools
and personal computing to graphic design and video games. For instance, gamers
can control multiple units in a strategy game. Two gamers may put the tablet
between them and each play one side in a sports game.
year’s Techfest, forty new technologies were displayed, showing how
computing enables new experiences and how the basic tools of computer science
are evolving to help all sciences advance more rapidly.


Christmas trees are cool, right? What about a smart Christmas tree? Wait, is this future? No, it already exists, it’s here!
In the past years I just used a power outlet timer to control when my tree should be illuminated and when it should not. Well, for this Christmas I’m gonna control this from my phone, or even by sending a tweet!
In this post I will detailed the process I followed in this project, from the hardware to the software.
First I found these cheap remote controlled power outlets for about $12. Okay cool, I could already control my Christmas tree lights without getting my ass of this chair. Let’s go further!
What I really wanted to do was controlling the remote from an Arduino board (an open-source electronic tool to control hardware with software basically). In order to make that happen, I connected the inputs of the remote (ON/OFF buttons of each power outlets) to a relay because the remote is powered by a 12V A23 battery. And this relay is commanded with the 5v of the arduino outputs.
The next step was to connect the arduino to the Internet. To achieve that, I used an ethernet module that cost me $2. At this point the hardware side was almost complete, so let's talk about some of the code I wrote.
On the board, it was quite easy, even if I have not much experience with this programming language. I began by writing some functions to trigger the remote buttons and building a string with some data I could get to monitor the device like the state of the power outlets.
After that I designed a webserver with the Ethernet module library and served the data string as a Json file. I also listened for requests to trigger the power outlets switch so if I would go to http://ethercardip/po1 it would command the first power outlet and so on. I also added several modes to control the system from other sources like electronic sensors (light sensor, reed switch…).
Using this API, I quickly build a web interface with buttons to control modes and also switch on and off the first power outlet (I actually ended up using only one of them, even if two are connected to the arduino).
I developed the software to be able to trigger the power outlets from a webpage, and also from electronic sensors.
When I started this project, I really had no final goal except having fun and impress my friends with this thing. Then I thought of making a video to show creative ways to interact with a Christmas tree. And by the time you are reading this, the video is already up!
The video at the top of this post is explaining the technical and developing process and how all that came up.
And remember, all I did was controlling power outlets, so this could be used for any device plugged in your wall. I hope that this inspires you, and if you have questions, suggestions about this project or anything else, leave a comment below.
See you soon!

What does I read you 5 by 5 mean?
In voice procedure (the techniques used to facilitate spoken communication over two-way radios) a station may request a report on the quality and strength of signal they are broadcasting. In the military of the NATO countries, and other organizations, the signal quality is reported on two scales; the first is for signal strength, and the second for signal clarity. Both these scales range from one to five, where one is the worst and five is the best. The listening station reports these numbers separated with the word "by". Five by five therefore means a signal that has excellent strength and perfect clarity ? the most understandable signal possible.
Five by five by extension has come to mean "I understand you perfectly" in situations other than radio communication, the way Loud and Clear entered slang, post-WW2.

This guide delves into the nuances of Bluetooth technology in hearing aids, discussing its pivotal role, the variety of hearing aids that incorporate this technology, the common challenges users encounter, and detailed, step-by-step instructions for effective pairing.
Whether you’re a first-time user or need a refresher, our guide aims to enhance your understanding and ability to leverage this innovative feature, ensuring your hearing aids work harmoniously with your devices to enrich your daily auditory experiences.
What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that enables data exchange over short distances using radio waves. It operates in the 2.4 to 2.485 GHz frequency band, facilitating communication between devices without physical cables.
Bluetooth creates a secure, low-power, short-range communication link between devices. Typically, it operates within a range of up to 10 meters (33 feet), but this can vary depending on the device’s power class. It’s designed for low bandwidth applications and is ideal for transmitting voice and data between devices like headsets, smartphones, and hearing aids.
The development of Bluetooth technology began in the 1990s as a way to replace cables for connecting devices. Named after the 10th-century King Harald Bluetooth of Denmark, who united Danish tribes into a single kingdom, the technology aimed to unify different industries and devices under a single wireless standard. It has since evolved to become a ubiquitous form of wireless communication in various devices.
Bluetooth technology is versatile, supporting data exchange rates sufficient for high-quality audio and facilitating various services like file transfers, audio streaming, and voice communication.
Bluetooth in Hearing Aids
Bluetooth technology in hearing aids significantly advances how users experience sound. It enables direct audio streaming from various devices, including smartphones, TVs, and music players, right into the hearing aids.
This direct streaming leads to a clearer and more immersive sound experience, as it eliminates the need for sound to travel through the air, reducing background noise and distortion.
Bluetooth allows users to control their hearing aids through smartphone apps, allowing them to adjust settings such as volume and sound profiles in real time and different environments.
The wireless nature of Bluetooth technology offers significant convenience. It eliminates the need for additional wires and devices, making the hearing aids easier and more comfortable. The hands-free operation is particularly beneficial for making phone calls, listening to music, and watching television.
Most modern hearing aids, especially those from leading brands like Signia, Phonak, and Oticon, have Bluetooth technology. These include behind-the-ear (BTE), in-the-ear (ITE), and receiver-in-canal (RIC) models, catering to a wide range of hearing needs and preferences. Ultra-small invisible-in-canal (IIC) models typically do not have Bluetooth as their housing is not large enough.
Common Challenges with Bluetooth in Hearing Aids

Rong He gives a talk on the seminar of CAPES
This month's seminar of the Center for Advanced Power and Energy Systems (CAPES) was held on September 17, 2019. It is a monthly event for the students of CAPES to share their researches. On this seminar, Ms. Rong He from AEPCL gave a talk titled as "High-Order Compensation Network for Inductive Power Transfer Systems".
The Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) system depends on coupling coils to transfer power from the transmitter to the receiver. Due to the large distance, leakage flux is larger than traditional transformer and coupling coefficient is small. That contributes to poor power transfer ability. At that time, compensation network is used to decrease the reactive power and increase the power transfer ability and efficiency. However, most compensation networks cannot satisfy different objectives simultaneously because of the limited design freedom. High-order compensation provides more design freedom for inductive power transfer system, and can help improve output voltage/current controllability. This talk will firstly introduce the development of wireless power transfer and the characteristics of four different technology, and then it will focus on IPT system and its compensation network. It proposes a novel perspective to simplify the decomposition and synthesis for high order compensation IPT system. Proposed topology can achieve load-independent output under coupling variation, and easily fulfill the various charging requirements, such as constant voltage or constant current. Meanwhile, the proposed method dramatically simplifies the evaluation for the influence of the coil equivalent series resistors on the transfer function and efficiency.


The MacBook Air headphone jack supports external microphones
2 April 2023 198 views | Tech notes
Want to connect an external microphone to your MacBook Air? You can.
The 3.5 mm headphone jack is actually a combo jack, which is capable of supporting microphone input as well. But for microphone input you must use a TRRS jack (the ones with two black rings, such as on a phone hands free kit).
Presumably this is also true of MacBook Pro.

Benefits of Using Free Conference Call Services
Some regular meetings are needed to give any organization some directions. During these meetings, some important issues are usually addressed. Previously, the staff could converge in a certain room during meetings. However, with the advancement in technology, this is no longer the case. Several people have been helped through the emergence of call conferencing. This means the staff can communicate with each other without meeting physically. They are prevented from moving from one destination to the other. Therefore, these type of services save money and time. The communication with other colleagues allow the staff to make proper use of their time. The following are the advantages of using free conference call services.
They allow people to speak with clarity. A lot of organizations allow their employees to communicate through email most of the time. Of course, this method perform better. But the biggest disadvantage it offers to users is the loss of tone. The recipient might fail to properly understand what the sender meant. But the introduction of conferencing calls has promoted clarity hence eliminating this disadvantage. Other than that, they provide faster response. When two people are communicating, they can reach an agreement quickly. If you compare these services with other electronic channels, they are very convenient.
Clients using these services enjoy convenience and speed. In certain circumstances, it might get hard to plan for a board meeting. Some members might come late hence wasting time. In case, they arrive later, then other members might be forced to wait for them. However, this isn’t the case with conferencing calls. But in case there are delays in the network, people can concentrate on their own work waiting for the response. The physical movements from one destination to the other are also prevented. This offers more convenience because people are limited from moving. Calls are received at any time because various people have working cellphones. The appropriate message can, therefore, be passed.
Lastly, clients will always obtain a clear communication process from these services. For those that have used chained email, they can agree how the process is very confusing. Following up messages is very difficult. Before you finish reading one response, another one will come in. Therefore, people encounter a lot of difficulties while they are reading messages. However, conferencing calls have eliminated this barrier. People can hear voices and follow the conversation. Therefore a large group of people will obtain instructions on activities they will carry. The message is passed to a large group of people because one party speaks at a time.

Industry Solution- Ethernet Product Automation Test
A global leading Ethernet 10GE technologies and product vendor – the test on its network adaptor product line is to cover dozens of existing OS and their combinations, including Windows 2000 Home/Professional/Server, WindowsXP (Home/Professional), Windows 2003 Server, Linux RHEL3, RHEL4, RHEL5, SUSE. About 100 combinations of 32/64 bit versions, packs, and the Intel/AMD CPUs add even more technical complexity to the test jobs.
Conventionally, test engineers will set out with a series of manual processes, such as building network topology, installing operation systems of different versions, installing network adaptor drivers, test traffic generation, data analysis and examination. Because the coordination between multiple devices involves such factors as topology connection, installation of different operation systems and data statistics/analysis, the processes other than a few traffic generation steps are difficult to automate. To secure the product delivery schedule, the customer had to invest huge human and equipment resources for work coordination, setting up a gigantic testbed for different operation systems and the critical OS version-related device drivers, which requires over a hundred PCs, driving up cost.
The customer could consider virtual machines like VMware to cut back on hardware investment. For the 64-bit system’s downward compatibility, the hardware may consist of several 64-bit Intel and AMD PCs with enough memories, in addition to the installment of all required OS versions on the virtual machine. However, the release of each product driver is always accompanied with backlog of regression test; it is repetitive, error-prone and low effective.
Sigma provided an automation test solution to the product line: orchestrate the testbed equipment with our full-IP automation test framework - SigmationTF, and fulfill the automation missions from automated network topology connection, OS (with varied versions) installation, network adaptor driver installation, traffic generation, test data analysis/examination, log generation and reporting.
Testbed configuration of the SigmationTF solution is shown in the following chart. Except for the two PCs acting as master controller (the MC) and mapping file server, a testbed, scalable, only requires one test switch, two PCs, one power controller and one terminal server, cutting down cost.
The MC, designed in the SigmationTF automation test solution, assigns tasks /equipment resources and the priority of tester-submitted Jobs, controls APC (automation power controller) to power on the test PCs, KickStart PCs in the control network, and then downloads and installs specific operation systems from the mapping file sever with certain task parameters before unattended installation. The PCs automatically reboot after OS installation, and download target network adaptor drivers and test programs from the mapping file server for compiling and installation.
The MC controls PCs to run automation test processes designed in the test cases, check test result (pass/failed) and collects test data/logs with test reporting and analysis. The entire test process will be fully automated without manual intervention. The entire test running process is under real-time monitoring of a logging system.
tests running, dramatically improving test efficiency. The two testbeds, respectively equipped with a 64-bit Intel PC and a 64-bit AMD PC, can cover all driver tests under these two circumstances (Intel and AMD), as well as test jobs on 32-bit operation systems.
The SigmationTF solution requires minimum two testbeds with four PCs for the test job fulfillment. The test efficiency can be multiplied by simple testbed expansion and meet schedules of varied test plans.
Obviously, the SigmationTF solution greatly saves human resources and hardware investment compared to traditional measures. A complicated test job involving dozens of, or even hundreds of testers and huge equipment resource now can be precisely conducted by only a few engineers and much less device investment.
