DARPA taps Draper to develop design tools for DOD and commercial electronic systems
CAMBRIDGE, MA—DARPA awarded Draper a contract of up to $9.8 million, dependent on successful completion of milestones, to develop hardware design tools with built-in cyber security and trusted computing capabilities to counter software cyber vulnerabilities in military and commercial electronic systems. DARPA awarded Draper the contract under its System Security Integrated Through Hardware and Firmware (SSITH) program.
Electronic system security has become a critical area of concern for the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and the broader U.S. population. Current efforts to provide electronic security largely rely on software, which can be inadequate if it fails to address the underlying hardware vulnerability. Draper’s cybersecurity technology has proven itself an effective information protection solution that leverages the commercial processing ecosystem enabling adoption of state of the art technology for mission success.
Creative hackers can develop new ways to exploit how software accesses hardware, which can start a continuous cycle of exploitation, patching and subsequent exploitation. Instead, Draper’s contribution to the DARPA SSITH program is designed to focus on hardware security at the microarchitecture level. Draper’s key development in this area is a powerful, flexible and cyber resilient embedded processor chip called the Inherently Secure Processor (ISP). Under SSITH, Draper aims to build on the momentum of the ISP with a goal to develop architectures and design tools to provide flexible solutions applicable to DOD and commercial electronic systems.
“Draper’s cybersecurity capabilities and Inherently Secure Processor enable us to provide silicon chip developers and manufacturers with a design that embeds security directly into hardware at the processor level,” said Paul Rosenstrach, Principal Director of Special Programs at Draper. “ISP hardware enforces customizable software-defined security rules, enabling system designers to develop individual policies that fit their application.”
The Inherently Secure Processor can be implemented with any Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) processor and is currently optimized for the latest generation RISC-V architecture as a co-processor solution. It can be easily customized for an individual customer’s embedded system, and features adaptable and updatable technology, providing customers with longevity and resiliency into the future.
Under the SSITH program, Draper plans to develop architectures and design tools that have the potential of enabling system-on-chip (SoC) designers to safeguard hardware against all seven known common weakness enumeration (CWE) classes of hardware vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit through software. CWE classes will be formalized to support the development of provably secure micropolicies that will be composed into a flexible policy suite to suit users requirements. Security measures may include secure boot, cryptography, metadata tagging, formal verification, anomalous state detection and security through compartmentalization.
Draper’s heritage of cyber security expertise is built on a foundation of secured and assured systems. The company’s defense microelectronics expertise includes development of new technologies to safeguard the U.S. military electronics supply chain from substandard, used and counterfeit electronics. Draper provides cyber security capabilities to commercial, government and nonprofit customers increasingly concerned about evolving cyber threats.
Draper has designed and developed microelectronic components and systems going back to the mid-1980s. Our integrated, ultra-high density (iUHD) modules of heterogeneous components feature system functionality in the smallest form factor possible through integration of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technology with Draper-developed custom packaging and interconnect technology. Draper continues to pioneer custom Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS), Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and custom radio frequency components for both commercial (microfluidic platforms organ assist, drug development, etc.) and government (miniaturized data collection, new sensors, Micro-sats, etc.) applications. Draper features a complete in-house iUHD and MEMS fabrication capability and has existing relationships with many other MEMS and microelectronics fabrication facilities.
Draper has developed mission-critical fault-tolerant systems for more than four decades. These systems are deployed in space, air, and undersea platforms that require extremely high reliability to accomplish challenging missions. These solutions incorporate robust hardware and software partitioning to achieve fault detection, identification and reconfiguration. Physical redundancy or multiple, identical designs protect against random hardware failures and employ rigor in evaluating differences in computed results to achieve exact consensus, even in the presence of faults. The latest designs leverage cost-effective, multicore commercial processors to implement software-based redundancy management systems in compact single-board layouts that perform the key timing, communication, synchronization and voting algorithm functions needed to maintain seamless operation after one, two or three arbitrary faults of individual components.
Over the past 10 years, Draper has extracted miniature systems and real-time embedded systems design knowledge to develop cyber capabilities to assess software vulnerabilities and capabilities to secure electronics systems. Additionally, Draper has demonstrated secure networks featuring over-the-air keying to realize cryptographically encoded, high-bandwidth communications for UAVs and other applications. These complementary capabilities and technologies provide robust security solutions to guard critical embedded systems against cyber, reverse engineering, and other attacks and ensure that critical information can be protected and delivered in a timely and accurate manner.
Draper combines specific domain expertise and knowledge of how to apply the latest analytics techniques to extract meaningful information from raw data to better understand complex, dynamic processes. Our system design approach encompasses effective organization and processing of large data sets, automated analysis using algorithms and exploitation of results. To facilitate user interaction with these processed data sets, Draper applies advanced techniques to automate understanding and correlation of patterns in the data. Draper’s expertise encompasses machine learning (including deep learning), information fusion from diverse and heterogeneous data sources, optimized coupling of data acquisition and analysis and novel methods for analysis of imagery and video data.

May be configured to user specifications
HOW IT WORKS
Product Data and Installation Sheets
MSC-TC is a "smart" conditioner that performs linearized temperature
measurement with thermocouple sensors in a small, DIN rail mount, terminal
block. It provides high accuracy with digital Cold Junction Compensation and
low drift digital calibration using 16 bit digital to analog converters. It
occupies a small space on the DIN rail with a size of only 22.5 mm. A
DC Power Supply is available for this unit.
(Digital Cold Junction Compensation)
Complete Digital Design
The MSC-TC is built around a microprocessor core
which controls all device functions in a continuous and reliable manner. The
analog input signal is isolated, filtered, amplified, scaled and/or linearized
via the onboard microprocessor. The conditioned signal is then converted to a
high level analog voltage or current output signal and sent to the unit's
isolated output. All MSC models provide 16-bit resolution and 0.05% accuracy of
the output signal range.
A complete digital design replaces
potentiometers and dip switch calibration with SensorPulse's SigFlex
Configurator Utility. This MSC unit may be reconfigured by a user at any time
via their personal computer (PC) or handheld personal computer (HPC).
SensorPulse's SigFlex Configurator Utility is Windows/PC or Windows/CE HPC
based, interfacing the MSC unit to the computer's RS-232C comm port with an MSF
Configuration Cable (sold separately). All setup parameters are stored in a
non-volatile EEPROM. Configuration files can be saved to disk for backup and
restoration of field settings.
The unit can be configured to accept input
from a wide range of thermocouples. The unit allows the user to meet their
unique signal conditioning "plug 'n play" requirements. Optionally, the MSC
signal range can be reconfigured in the field to meet custom configuration
Through the use of the digital solid state
cold junction compensation and the unit's self-calibration operation, the MSC-TC
guarantees an accurate and stable measurement. These functions protect the unit
from the usual variations caused by circuit parameters.
The MSC-TC provides three-way isolation between the input, output, and power
supply. The 1500 V galvanic isolation removes all ground loop effects. This
allows use of the MSC-TC in the heavy environmental conditions found
in industrial applications.
The MSC-TC is developed, manufactured and
tested in strict accordance with the quality assurance standards. It is in
compliance with the directive 89/336/CEE on the electromagnetic compatibility
and the CE mark confirms the compliance of the product. The unit is also UL and
Each DIN rail mounted MSC module is contained
within a small profile terminal block (88mm x 68mm x 12mm). The enclosure is
made of a rugged, self-extinguishing plastic. No heat sink is required.
Both Voltage and Current output models are available
"Upscale" or "Downscale" Burnout detection and short circuit protection.
All the configurable functions, parameters, and calibration are easily programmed by means of a
Windows PC software package, named SIGFLEX. More information on this software is
available on the CONFIGURATION tab.
All units are factory
calibrated and configured per user requirements. Installing the MSC unit is
easy…snap the 12mm wide enclosure to a DIN rail, supply an external 15-30Vdc
power source, connect the analog input device and analog output range actuator.

The beacon technology is meant to transform the entire customer dealing experience for retailers and the Retail Market. Further, the beacon technology is way more advanced and effective as compared to just providing exceptional customer service and marketing the right products. So, let’s see if the Beacon Technology actually has the potential to transform the Retail Market.
How can the Beacon Technology transform the Retail Market?
Beacon Technology is advanced and certainly has several benefits. Therefore it will not be wrong if we say that this technology has the potential to transform the retail market. We at Teranoid are striving to provide you with the most authentic and useful information. So, below, we shall discuss the how the Beacon Technology can transform the Retail Market.
Beacon technology makes the shopping experience seamless
As mentioned, above, the Beacon technology sends signals to the mobile phones. Further, these beacons help customers know more about the store that they are in and the products that they might be interested in. in addition, it is through the beacon technology that the entire shopping experience is made seamless. That is to say, the customers are not just informed about the store products and what they can buy; instead the beacon technology also offers several other features. Moreover, the customers can also know if the item is available in the store or not.
Eddystone and the power of beacons for the retail market
We are aware by now that the beacon technology is being used in the retail market for long. However with the Eddystone advancement, the beacon technology has moved to the next level. In short, it is through the Eddystone beacon language that the gadget performs exceptionally well. Further, beacons have the potential to communicate with mobiles devices such as android and Ios.
Insight into the consumer behavior for the retail market
Beacons also give retailers deep insight into the customer behavior. That is to say, it is through the beacon technology that retailers are able to know how the customers like the products and which ads are they responding more to. However, in addition to providing customer insights, the technology also ensures that the customers information is safe and does not reach a third party.
In addition, marketers can also easily see which ads are working well and which are not. earlier if retailers had to monitor how their marketing strategies are doing, they had to conduct surveys. However, now with the beacon technology, retailers can easily know about how their marketing strategies and ads through the beacon technology are impacting consumers.
Transform the Retail market by Targeting customers rightly
Beacon provides retailers with big data. Therefore, retailers can use this data to reach out to customers even outside the store. That is to say, if a customer left the store without making any purchase, retailers can know which areas of the store they were present more. Consequently, they know which items the consumer was interested in. further, retailers can also know if the consumer spent time in the changing room, in case of an apparel store. Consequently, the retailers can plan their marketing strategies accordingly and reach out to the customer. So, in this way beacons are very useful as they have the potential to target the consumers with what they really want and are interested in.
To conclude, we would like to say that the beacon technology is certainly transforming the retail world. That is to say, now the marketing has reached a new level due to beacons. In short, now retailers are able to practice the location based marketing, which could not have been imagined in the past. So the beacon technology is transforming the retail world in the true sense.

Tcpdump is the most common packet sniffer that runs under the command line. It allows the user to intercept and display TCP/IP and other packets being transmitted or received over a network to which the computer is attached. It was originally written by Van Jacobson, Craig Leres and Steven McCanne who were, at the time, working in the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Network Research Group.
Distributed under the BSD license,tcpdump is free software.
Tcpdump works on most Unix-like operating systems: Linux, Solaris, BSD, Mac OS X, HP-UX and AIX among others. In those systems, tcpdump uses the libpcap library to capture packets.
Before I begin with advanced filters, let's review the basic syntax of tcpdump
Basic syntax :
The X option displays the packet in nice readable ASCII, as this snippet shows:
# tcpdump -X port 110
32:46(14) ack 70 win 5840 (DF)
Readable enough to verify that anyone snooping on our connection cannot capture logins and passwords. This snippet plainly shows the login and password in a clear text login
Filtering hosts :
- Match any traffic involving 192.168.1.1 as destination or source
# tcpdump -i eth1 host 192.168.1.1
- As soure only
# tcpdump -i eth1 src host 192.168.1.1
- As destination only
# tcpdump -i eth1 dst host 192.168.1.1
Filtering ports :
- Match any traffic involving port 25 as source or destination
# tcpdump -i eth1 port 25
# tcpdump -i eth1 src port 25
# tcpdump -i eth1 dst port 25
Network filtering :
# tcpdump -i eth1 net 192.168
# tcpdump -i eth1 src net 192.168
# tcpdump -i eth1 dst net 192.168
Protocol filtering :
# tcpdump -i eth1 arp
# tcpdump -i eth1 ip
# tcpdump -i eth1 tcp
# tcpdump -i eth1 udp
# tcpdump -i eth1 icmp
Let's combine expressions :
Negation : ! or "not" (without the quotes)
Concatanate : && or "and"
Alternate : || or "or"
- This rule will match any TCP traffic on port 80 (web) with 192.168.1.254 or 192.168.1.200 as destination host
# tcpdump -i eth1 '((tcp) and (port 80) and ((dst host 192.168.1.254) or (dst host 192.168.1.200)))'
- Will match any ICMP traffic involving the destination with physical/MAC address 00:01:02:03:04:05
# tcpdump -i eth1 '((icmp) and ((ether dst host 00:01:02:03:04:05)))'
- Will match any traffic for the destination network 192.168 except destination host 192.168.1.200
# tcpdump -i eth1 '((tcp) and ((dst net 192.168) and (not dst host 192.168.1.200)))'
Advanced header filtering :
Before we continue, we need to know how to filter out info from headers
proto[x:y] : will start filtering from byte x for y bytes. ip[2:2] would filter bytes 3 and 4 (first byte begins by 0)
proto[x:y] & z = 0 : will match bits set to 0 when applying mask z to proto[x:y]
proto[x:y] & z !=0 : some bits are set when applying mask z to proto[x:y]
proto[x:y] & z = z : every bits are set to z when applying mask z to proto[x:y]
proto[x:y] = z : p[x:y] has exactly the bits set to z
Operators : >, <, >=, <=, =, !=
This may not be clear in the first place but you'll find examples below involving these.
Of course, it is important to know what the protocol headers look like before diving into more advanced filters.
Here you have some usefull examples:
tcpdump -i eth0 -nn ip=0x60 where 0x60 is the TOS for SIP packets.

In acoustics, the decibel is used as an absolute indicator of sound power per unit area. A decibel is one-tenth of a Bel, a seldom-used unit named for Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone.
Increasing the power of sound emitted does not increase the level of noise by the same amount, by doubling the output, the level of sound received would only increase by 3db. (e.g. If 2 people both talk at 60 decibels at the same time, the power they both emit would only create 63 decibels of sound, 4 people all talking at 60 decibels would only create 66.)
The audible frequency range for humans is typically given as being between about 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz although the high frequency limit varies. Human hearing can be sensitive with decibel levels of over 120db proven to damage human hearing for the long term.
Sound vibrates waves of pressure through the air, the more frequent the wave the higher pitch of the sound.

NoiseTube is a project that tackles the noise pollution problem in many large cities in Europe. In particular, the deployment is focused on Brussels, Paris and London. It proposes a participative approach of monitoring noise pollution by involving the general public. Part of this project is the use of the NoiseTube app, a smartphone application which turns smartphones into noise sensors, enabling citizens to measure the sound exposure in their everyday environment. Each participant is able to share their geolocalized measurement data in an attempt to create a collective map of noise pollution, which will be available to NoiseTube community members. The main motivation for participation is the social interest. In other words, people contribute in order to understand their noise exposure, to build a collective map, to help local governments in tackling noise pollution by understanding noise statistics and to assist researchers by providing real data to analyse.
On the other hand, this project enables system designers to assess the potential of the participatory sensing approach in the context of environmental monitoring. In particular, developing a smartphone application, which is a widely adopted technology, can potentially reach thousands people that could cover large cities. Thus, provide a complete and accurate, in terms of noise exposure of individuals, noise pollution map to interested parties in order to take action.
The authors argue that although noise pollution is a major problem in cities around the world, current air pollution monitoring approaches fail to assess the actual exposure experienced by citizens. In particular, static sensors are located away from streets and emission sources in order to reflect the average pollution over an area. Consequently, it might underestimate the true exposure of people to air pollution. Thus, participatory sensing provides a low-cost solution for the citizens to measure their personal exposure and contribute to the community by taking measurements at the sources of the air pollution. This approach seems to work well, achieving the same accuracy as standard noise mapping techniques but at a significantly lower cost, as no expertise nor expensive sound level meter equipment is required.
GasMobile is a low-power and low-cost mobile sensing system for participatory air quality monitoring. Instead of relying on the expensive static measurement stations operated by official authorities for highly reliable and accurate measurements, GasMobile relies on the participatory sensing paradigm. In particular, GasMobile is a system developed from the combination of a small-sized, low-cost ozone sensor and an off-the-shelf smartphone. This system, besides taking ozone measurements to calculate air quality, can also exploit nearby static measurement stations to improve calibration and consequently the system’s accuracy. This system was used in a two-month campaign in an urban area. Specifically, the system was attached to a single bicycle and took measurements from several rides all around the city. The sampling interval was pre-set to five seconds, collecting a total of 2815 spatially distributed data points. Data collected were aggregated based on the area excerpt selected by a user interested in the results. To produce the map they divided this area into rectangular regions of 35×35 pixels and took the average ozone concentration of the observations in that region. Then, each region was classified into one of three categories: green, yellow, red depending on the average concentration value.
The system is currently at a prototyping stage but has great potential as it shows that air pollution monitoring can be achieved in a cost-effective manner. The results also show participatory sensing can produce results of high accuracy as the mean error for 2815 measurements was 2.74ppb which is only slightly higher than in static setting.
Another important participatory sensing application is Citisense, which its purpose is to monitor air pollution in large regions such as San Diego, California, US. Citisense consists of three components: A wearable pollution sensor, a mobile phone application and a web interface. Users carry the pollution sensor and the mobile phone with them throughout the day in order to learn their air pollution exposure. The web interface provides more detailed reflection on the air pollution exposure as well as air pollution maps built with historic user’s air pollution data. The sensor is connected via Bluetooth to the mobile phone and it is able to take measurements for five days in a single charge. The mobile phone app is responsible for collecting readings from the sensor and presenting them to the user. Each reading is time-stamped and geo-tagged by utilizing mobile phone’s GPS and network-based localization services. Citisense was conducted in the field for one month, involving 16 participants. The results show that the users exposure differ from the average measurements displayed by static sensors scattered in cities. In particular, participatory sensing approach is able to identify pollution hot spots in the micro-environment that have been developed due to busy roads, buildings and natural topology. Also, Citisense made an impact on the awareness of people. Specifically, participants understood better the properties of air pollution and in particular, they realized that being near busy streets or buses, air pollution spikes. However, as the authors admit, power management is an important challenge.
ExposureSense is a participatory sensing project that attempts to monitor air pollution in cities. It exploits the increasingly number of sensors that smartphones tend to have to convert them in to powerful mobile sensor devices. ExposureSense has a different approach than other participatory sensing applications for air pollution. It attempts to correlate humans’ daily activities and air quality monitoring in order to estimate user’s daily pollution exposure. To do so, smartphone’s accelerometer is used to infer the activities of users and external mobile sensor is used for air quality monitoring. In particular, machine learning techniques are applied on accelerometer data to infer users’ daily activities. In order to gather data from mobile devices they connect smartphones to air quality sensors via a USB cable. Data are also collected from external sensor networks which are combined with data collected from the users and interpolation is performed. Data is spatio-temporally correlated in order to estimate people’s daily pollutant exposure. Exposure intensity is scaled based on activity type, burned calories and movement speed.
HazeWatch is another low-cost participatory sensing system for urban air pollution monitoring in Sydney. HazeWatch uses several low-cost sensor units attached to vehicles to measure air pollution concentrations, and users’ mobile phones to tag and upload data in real-time. This project identifies the disadvantages of current approaches, i.e., using static sensors to monitor air pollution in cities. In particular, typically, there are only a few statics sensors scattered in cities and air pollution is inferred with the use of mathematical models which require complex input, such as land topography, meteorological variables and chemical compositions. This leads in to potentially inaccurate inferences as well as underestimation of the true exposure of the public to air pollution. HazeWatch aims to crowdsource fine-grained spatial measurements of air pollution in Sydney and to engage users in managing their pollution exposure via personalized tools. Specifically, HazeWatch among others, suggest low pollution routes to users.
P-sense is a work in progress that utilizes the concept of participatory sensing to monitor air pollution. The ultimate goal of this project is to allow government officials, international organizations, communities, and individuals to access the pollution data to address their particular problems and needs. P-sense enables air pollution measurements in a finer granularity rather than what is currently achieved by having static sensors in cities. It also enables users to assess their exposure to pollution according to the places visited during their daily activities. P-sense is easily extensible to allow the integration of existing data acquisition systems that could enrich the air quality dataset. P-sense consists of four main components: the sensing devices, the first-level integrator, the data transport network, and the servers. The environmental data are collected by a number of sensors such as gas, temperature, humidity, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and air quality sensors integrated to mobile phones via Bluetooth. All environmental data acquired from those sensors are transmitted to first-level integrator device, i.e., mobile phones. The phone is able for real-time analysis of data, providing visual feedback to users. The first level integrators transmit environmental data over the Internet (data transport network) to a dedicated server where they are stored and processed. Users are able to connect to the server and get visual feedback for the data. However, there are several important research challenges to address before this system is deployed in the real-world. These are related to data validity, incentives, visualization, privacy and security. Moreover, as in other applications, the Bluetooth connection drains mobile phone’s battery.
CommonSense is a participatory sensing project that aims to design a mobile air quality monitoring system. They conducted interviews with citizens, scientists and regulators in order to derive the principles and the framework for data collection and citizen participation. Unlike other applications, they break analysis into discrete mini-applications designed to scaffold and facilitate novice contributions. This approach allows the community members impacted by poor air quality to engage in the process of locating pollution sources and exploring local variations in air quality. Based on the fieldwork, a set of personas was developed to characterize relevant stakeholders. Specifically, `Activists’ are responsible for orchestrating actions and publicizing environmental issues. `Browsers’ are interested in environmental quality but not directly involved in sensing. `Data collectors’ are novice community members which are likely to be affected by air pollution. Also, the main principles extracted from the interviews with people are: Goal-oriented, i.e., what is the personal exposure of individuals and what are the hot spots in the city? Local and relevant, i.e., participants are interested mostly about their neighborhood and areas that frequently visit. Elicit latent explanations and expectation as well as prompt realizations are about taking into consideration the local knowledge of people and expertise, such as beliefs about the sources of air pollution in their area. Language barriers, i.e, users could be benefited by be introducing them to the scientific language where possible. This analysis lead to the development of a framework that is divided to six phases: Collect, Annotate, Question/Observe, Predict/Infer, Validate, Synthesize. Collect is the phase where the actual sensing takes place. Annotating is the step after collecting data where data collectors provide addition insights that contextualize and supplement it. Question/Observe is the step where data collectors begin to ask basic questions such as what is the personal exposure of each one or whether air quality is bad in their home based on their own and other collectors data. Infer/Predict builds on these questions and predictions are made for the unobserved locations. Validation is the stage where data collectors’ data are compared against with data from organizers and activists and check whether there is enough coverage of the interested area. Finally, Synthesize is the highest level where data are integrated and documentation, reports and other deliverables are produced.
Besides relying on citizens to take measurements, CommonSense attempts to monitor air pollution by other means. In particular, in one study they run trials with air quality monitoring devices attached to the rooftops of street cleaners in the city of San Francisco. These devices are associated with mobile phones that send data into CommonSense servers. This way, a systematic coverage of a large city can be achieved as well as test, refine and calibrate the system for future deployments.
OpenSense is a project that aims to monitor air pollution in large cities like Zurich, Switzerland. More than 25 million measurements were collected in over a year from sensors attached to the top of public transport vehicles. Based on these data, land-use regression models were built to create pollution maps with spatial resolution 100m X 100m. One of the challenges that this approach aims to tackle is the lack of fine-grained spatio-temporal air quality data. Static sensors are expensive to acquire and to maintain and thus only a few are placed in every city. The proposed system consists of 10 nodes installed on top of public transport vehicles that cover a large urban area on a regular schedule. The collected data are processed and predictions about the unobserved locations are made using the regression models. Although this is a good approach for providing fine grained spatio-temporal information about air pollution, nothing is said about the battery consumption of the sensors that are used to send the measurements in real-time over GSM and use GPS satellites to get their location. Also, measurements are only taken in roads where there are buses routes and since sensors are placed on top of them they endure vibrations, heat, humidity and long operating times which might lead into inaccurate measurements.
The Next Big One
The Next Big One is a participatory sensing application for the early detection of earthquakes. These events are difficult to model and characterize a priori. Thus, it utilizes the accelerometer sensors available on smartphones in a way to detect rare events and earthquakes. The focus of this project is to harness the power of the crowd, i.e., the wide availability of accelerometer sensors, for early earthquake detection. In shake table experiments, it is found that it is possible to distinguish seismic motion from accelerations due to normal daily use. However, for this application to be robust thousands of phones must be utilized. It is estimated that a million phones would produce 30 Terabytes of accelerometer data per day.
TrafficSense is a participatory sensing application for the monitoring of road and traffic conditions. In particular, this application relies on people carrying their smartphones with them while traveling and utilizing their sensors like accelerometer, microphone, GSM radio, and/or GPS sensors to detect potholes, bumps braking and honking. The effectiveness of the sensing functions were tested in the roads of Bangalore and it is shown that is it possible to monitor the roads using a variety of sensors built in the smartphones that users carry with them. In particular, the accelerometer was used for braking detection and to distinguish pedestrians from users stuck in traffic. Also, it is used to detect spikes that would suggest bumps in the roads. Audio was recorded using phones’ microphone in order to detect noisy and chaotic traffic conditions. Finally, GPS and GSM cell triangulation are used to localize users’ positions.

The HAM RADIO Autobiography of ZS6RO
|I have been a Radio Amateur since the late 60's, first as ZS1RO, then ZS5RO, now as ZS6RO. I also have a M0HMB callsign. I still hold my ZS1RO callsign, mainly for sentimental reasons. Though I did my share of CW and SSB operating and even a bit of Satellite work, my favourite mode has been 'data over radio', or what is now commonly called 'Digital Modes' ...|
I experimented extensively with RTTY and Amtor in the 70's, and ran a totally home-brew SELCAL RTTY BBS, including the OCXO Xtal radio transmitter and receiver, on 14075 kHz for many years. Jim ZS2LR, Gerd ZS3B, Taffy Z21CE, Hofie ZS6CC and a few others also ran SELCAL RTTY BBS's on the same channel, all of different designs. Jim ZS2LR built up a SELCAL totally from electro-mechanical relays and it worked flawlessly!!
|I had a lot of fun broadcasting the SARL HQ weekly bulletins, by first typing the text onto teleprinter yellow re-perforated tape, then using RTTY to transmit the bulletin, then taking reports afterwards from the 'RTTY listeners'. (There was quite a following of listeners).|
I later used a genuine APPLE II with home-brew plug-in pc-boards for the terminal unit (TU). The TU coupled the radio to the computer (similar to the packet radio TNC). This was all at a speed of 45.45 baud.
My first SELCAL consisted of some integrated-circuit (IC's) gates in what was called a 'bucket-brigade' configuration including a UART. wired up to accept the character sequence "ZS1RO-T" - this RTTY command when received would start a mechanical teleprinter reperforated tape reader which then ran a piece of 'looped' paper reperforated tape which had the sentence "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog's tail NNNN" punched on the tape (This sentence has every letter of the alphabet in it at least once). This was transmitted over the radio as RTTY signals. The four "NNNN" was the sequence used to shut the reperf tape reader motor off! The loop was then ready for the next 'ZS1RO-T' request ("T " for TEST tape). The looped reperf paper tape was a blue colour which identified it as being thicker and stronger than the standard yellow reperf tape and could be used many times over without breaking. This 'test tape' setup was used extensively especially when newcomers came onto the channel. They would be able to adjust their own equipment without worrying anyone. The test signal was also useful to see how good the path was between ourselves.
Later one could get RAM (Random Access Memory) chips relatively cheaply. RTTY uses 5 bits for each character, not counting the start and stop bits. Using five of these RAM chips (each chip being 1024 bits) I exchanged this for the re-perforated looped tapes and with some additional IC circuitry, was able to send the test 'tape' out silently - this was progress! By dividing the memory into two banks, roughly 500 bytes per bank, I put the ZS1RO-T test message in one half of the RAM. Then using the command ZS1RO-S, any characters sent immediately afterwards was saved into the second 500 byte bank of the RAM. Four 'NNNN' closed the RAM from receiving any more characters and replayed the saved message. The command ZS1RO-R could also replay the message just saved in case it was corrupted by conditions. The ZS1RO-R command could be repeated any number of times and the last message stored with the ZS1RO-S command would be replayed over and over.
The ZS1RO-S and ZS1RO-R commands became quite useful. I suddenly became a RTTY 'repeater' , all on one frequency! Now two RTTY'ers trying to communicate with each other but were skip to each other could store a message in my RAM and then it would replay for the other guy. When it was finished, the other operator could reply by also using the ZS1RO-S command. We eventually had a number of RTTY 'repeaters' dotted around the country. Later my APPLE RTTY BBS took over all the electro-mechanical machines in my shack and I must admit it was a lot quieter! The APPLE also took over the various ZS1RO-S, ZS1RO-R and ZS1RO-T commands, including a few extra commands.
|When Packet Radio entered the scene, this opened up data communications like never before and it wasn't long before a VHF/HF Packet Radio Network started in South Africa at most of the major cities.|
In the early days before Internet took off, forwarding traffic between BBS's was done on packet radio on HF. We quickly learned that OCXO Xtals was the order of the day if you wanted to stay on the channel frequency! BBS traffic forwarding on HF (300 baud) moved slowly during daylight hours and virtually came to a standstill during the night. Today the HF bands are still the same, but now we mostly fall back onto the Internet. VHF Packet Radio which the BBS users occupy is primarily at a speed of 1200 baud.
I had the first RTTY BBS and Packet Radio BBS in Cape Town, around the mid 80's. It was relatively simple in those days and only allowed one user at a time to be logged in! I had a homebrew HF radio (14MHz) and also a VHF radio connected to the BBS. The 14MHz HF channel was mainly for forwarding between ZS6 and my BBS and also between YB5 (AsiaNet) and my BBS. AsiaNet then connected to the rest of the Packet Radio world and forwarded any traffic I had passed onto it. (Internet hadn't been 'invented' yet!). I linked the RTTY BBS and the Packet Radio BBS via their respective RS-232 COM ports and arranged that the two BBS's could automatically update each other.
The BBS's updated themselves, either by radio (HF, VHF or UHF) or Internet (Internet from 1994) by E-Mail, or Gateways (Telnet Sessions). In Cape Town, the Packet Radio Network included a SATGATE that relayed traffic via Radio Amateur Satellites. This was sent out worldwide and allowed messages of a personal nature, or small bulletins of varied topics, to be conveyed to their respective destinations with very little delay. The Satgate is now closed due to the satellite not being available.
Nowadays the BBS 'Mail' gets through from one side of the globe to the other within a few seconds via Internet! The majority of these tasks are automated. BBS Sysops are a dedicated bunch of Hams and usually own, finance and maintain their BBS's to ensure that the 'Mail' gets through ....
I still run a Packet/HF Pactor Radio BBS and like most BBS's around the world including South Africa, a large amount of traffic passes through it on a daily basis. My BBS 'radio address' is ZS6RO @ ZS0MEE.SRJ.GAU.ZAF.AF ...
|I also run a DX-Cluster Node ZS6RO-3 which is internationally connected to other DX-Cluster Nodes. One can log on, either via the Internet or by radio and watch the DX-Spots go by. If you are listening on a radio (HF/VHF/UHF) and hear a bit of rare DX, you can send a DX-Spot with the relevant info to a Node and this will in turn be broadcast to all other Nodes on the DX-Cluster network.|
I have a WAP site running where a WAP enabled cellphone can log in and receive current DX-Spots. One can also search a Callbook database for other Radio Amateur's address information - useful for sending QSL cards! The Callbook service is also available on my BBS.
I have had a few Raspberry Pi's, credit card size microprocessors for a couple of years which run on Linux, a Raspbian Wheezy distro and has a Debian flavour. One RPi is running my ZS0MEE BBS, DX-Cluster, APRX Node, Web server and a WAP server. It consumes just 5 watts of power and is very efficient. I'm intending to set up another RPi with a VHF transceiver for an Echolink gateway.

Many, many innovations come from the Linux and Unix world. Few are more intriguing to me than port knocking. As a global security plug-in to protect services, it has a lot going for it and few downsides. However, for one reason or another, it suffers from lack of use and understanding. A lot of administrators may have heard of it, but few know how to implement it. Even fewer have used it.
Port knocking works on the concept that users wishing to attach to a network service must initiate a predetermined sequence of port connections or send a unique string of bytes before the remote client can connect to the eventual service. In its most basic form, the remote user’s client software must first connect to one or more ports before connecting to the final destination port.

How to choose single-core cable and three-core cable?
How to choose single-core cable and three-core cable?
Main features of overhead cables
The main features of overhead insulated conductors (ABC cables) are good insulation performance. Due to the extra layer of insulation layer, the insulation performance of overhead insulated conductors is superior to that of bare conductors, which can reduce the distance between lines, reduce the insulation requirements for line supports, and increase the number of circuits of lines erected on the same pole. Due to the insulating layer on the outer layer, the overhead insulated wire is less oxidized and corroded than the bare wire, and has stronger corrosion resistance, which can prolong the service life of the line. And it can also prevent external damage, reduce the influence of external factors such as trees, flying objects, metal films and dust, and reduce phase-to-phase short circuit and grounding accidents. However, the number of cores and the production and use scenarios are different, and there are also different specifications and parameters. We need to choose cable types with different numbers of cores according to different specifications.
1. Scope of application and installation environment
Single-core cables are suitable for indoors, tunnels, and cable trenches, and cannot withstand external mechanical forces; without armor (eddy current effect). It is not suitable for direct burial laying (considering heat dissipation); cables are not allowed to be laid in magnetic pipes such as steel pipes.
The three-core cable is suitable for: indoors, tunnels, and cable trenches, and can withstand certain mechanical external forces and tensions; it can be laid directly with armor; it can also be laid in various pipes including magnetic pipes.
2. Manufacture and transportation
Single-core cable: Because the outer diameter of the single-core cable is small and the weight is light, the length of the cable can not be limited by the cable reel and weight, and the length of the 400mm2 single-core cable can reach 1000m
Three-core cable: during the cable manufacturing and transportation process, due to the weight limit of the cable reel and the cable itself, each reel of cable cannot be made too long, and the length of a 400mm2 cable generally does not exceed 500m
3. Construction and installation
Single-core cable: (1) The single-core cable is easy to lay, but the laying length is three times that of the three-core cable, and the overall construction time is longer; (2) When the single-core cable climbs the multi-circuit cable terminal tower, due to too many roots, The layout and construction are cumbersome; (3) When the cables are connected to the terminals in the cabinet and the panel, the electrical safety distance can be reduced due to the reduction of crossover, which makes the installation work easier; (4) In the long line project, the cable joint can be reduced and the operation reliability can be enhanced. ; (5) The allowable bending radius is small, which is conducive to the laying of large cross-section cables.
Three-core cable: (1) The three-core cable is not easy to lay, but the laying length is 1/3 of the single-core cable, and the overall construction time is shorter; (2) When the three-core cable climbs the multi-circuit cable terminal tower, it is convenient to arrange the cable; (3) When the three-core cable is connected to the indoor power distribution device, the terminal head of the three-core cable is greatly affected by the size of the cable compartment of the power distribution device and the torsion of the laying position of the cable itself.
Single-core cable: (1) Since the single-core cable is not allowed to be armored with magnetic steel tape, the requirements for the laying environment are more stringent. Generally, external force damage may cause damage to the cable; (2) The single-core cable is It is three independent cables with a long distance between phases. Once the cable is grounded, it is difficult to develop a short circuit between phases; (3) If the outer sheath is partially damaged during long-term operation, resulting in multiple groundings on the metal shielding layer, the cable cannot maintain Safe operation; because the metal shielding layer of a single-core cable normally needs to be grounded on one side or cross-connected; if it is directly grounded, the metal shielding layer will generate a large circulating current, which will burn the cable.
Three-core cable: (1) Since the three-core cable is protected by steel tape armor, the requirements for the laying environment are relatively loose, and it has a certain protective effect on general external damage. (2) The three-core cable is covered by three phases, and the phases rely The insulating material is used for insulation. If the insulating material is damp and deteriorated, it is easy to cause phase-to-phase short circuit (3) In the long-term operation, if the outer sheath is partially damaged, resulting in multiple grounding of the metal shielding layer, the cable can still maintain safe operation, because The metal shielding layer of the three-core cable needs to be grounded under normal conditions
For high-voltage cables with the same cross-sectional area, the price of single-core cables is cheaper than that of three-core cables. Aerial cables are the most common type of cables in daily life. The price will vary depending on the amount of materials used, but the quality is guaranteed to a certain extent. Therefore, it is better to choose according to the design drawings when purchasing.


When it comes to saving lives, communication is vital.
After a few setbacks due to the pandemic, the plan to build a new radio system for first responders in Bowling Green and Wood County is in motion.
Many public safety agencies across Ohio already utilize a 'Multi-Agency Radio Communication System.' Peter Voderberg, chief of Broadband Ohio, described a MARCS tower as a way for agencies such as fire departments and police departments to communicate on one channel.
“It’s an emergency responder tower that allows people all across the state to be able to communicate with each other on a radio frequency that’s dedicated to them,” he said.
According to Fire Chief Bill Moorman, the Bowling Green Fire Department currently uses a 'very high-frequency system,' known as VHF, which requires two radios to send and receive messages. This piece of technology is becoming obsolete as the number of public safety agencies that use a MARCS system increases.
“Several years ago, there was a push in this local area to have all our fire, EMS and law enforcement agencies all operating under one system. At that time, MARCS was identified as that system and a lot of agencies made the transition to MARCS,” Moorman said.
Because other agencies BGFD works with on a regular basis use the MARCS system, Moorman said using a different radio system poses challenges for proper communication during an emergency situation.
Bowling Green State University Chief of Police Michael Campbell said the VHF system is similar to having a cell phone, where there are areas with a strong signal and areas with a weak one. There are several buildings in the city that do not receive a radio signal, and without effective communication, there is a higher risk for lives to be put in danger.
Moorman explained the first thing to fail at an emergency scene is reliable communications and stressed the importance of communication when training first responders.
“It has long been the goal of the Bowling Green Fire Division to have a more reliable radio communications system, especially in the area of in-building radio coverage. Our current VHF system has not been able to meet those needs so we needed to look at all of our options,” he said.
After analyzing several computer models, BGFD determined that Wood County falls in a dead zone between two towers located in Bradner, Ohio and Neopolis, Ohio.
Moorman said having the tower built is a “game changer,” and it was all made possible with a $500,000 grant from the Capitol Improvement Project program.
This year, Sen. Theresa Gavarone approved a $2.1 billion budget to fund local community projects for schools, infrastructure and public services, including $18 million to improve security and efficiency of public agency websites and MARCS towers across the state.
The Ohio State Patrol began searching for a new radio system in 1990 and initiated the MARCS Tower Project in 2000; however, Voderberg said 9/11 had a significant impact on the project.
“With what happened during 9/11, it became imperative that everybody had the capability of communicating across different agencies and not have the individualized systems, but to have a state-wide system where they could both respond and communicate with one another,” he said.
According to the Ohio Department of Administrative Services, the mission is “dedicated to providing Ohio's first responders and public safety providers with state-of-the-art wireless digital communications, and to promote interoperability, in order to save lives and maximize effectiveness in both normal operations and emergency situations."
Construction of the tower in Bowling Green is expected to begin April 2021, located at 13982 Mitchell Road, and the goal is to complete it by June 2021.


I’m trying to split my server to server traffic away from my client to server and put it on a seperate TCP port ( 1350 ) so that this port can be put into a lower class of service on the wan and the standard 1352 port can then be put in the higher class of service.
According to the manual this should be fairly easy to setup. Just create a new port in the notes.ini, restart, enable the port, set it up in the server doc and reorder it so it’s at the top of the list and bingo, the domino server should use this as the default port for outbound traffic.
But it doesn’t… And it’s driving me crazy.
Has anybody ever managed to get snything like this working?

VoIP Calls in Most of Europe
Virtual providers, who do not own and manage their own networks, that started directly with VoIP pushed the development forward which forced the established players to act quickly. The transition from circuit-switched to packet-switched voice networks has been one of the greatest challenges for the major carriers during the last decades.
Argument: Forrester Research says VoIP deployment in Western Europe will rise from 5 per cent of total end-to-end fixed voice traffic in 2006 to 100 per cent in 2020.
Questions: How will the virtual providers manage when the major carriers have shifted to VoIP? What will the price level for the customer be compared to today, when the current value of the circuit-switched voice traffic is US$ 280 billion a year for the established players?

Huge apertures required for radio telescopes have become a major engineering problem. Both weight and cost are factors that limit the manufacture of radio telescopes. This project changes the design of radio telescopes. We replace previous single parabola design with the superposition of multiple parabolas with different focal lengths. The modified design achieves the goal of reducing the structural weights and the manufacturing costs of radio telescopes. We plan to design a 1.2-meter-caliber millimeter-wave telescope as a test target, which is expected to be used in the manufacture of large-aperture radio telescopes in the future.


The PNG Sustainable Development Program Limited (SDP) is working with Kacific Broadband Satellites Group (Kacific), Emstret Holdings and Tag Energy to install and operate 30 satellite dishes powered by a solar system (1kW solar kits & LED light fittings). These satellite dishes have started to connect 30 remote health facilities in Papua New Guinea’s Western Province to the outside world via a satellite internet service.
Twenty installations have been completed in places that previously never had any regular method of communication with the outside world. The five-person installation team continues to push into some of the most difficult terrains in the country, deftly managing security challenges and tough conditions, often by small dinghies in crocodile-infested waters.
The installation team getting ready to visit another community to install the satellite dish.
SDP works across Western Province delivering development initiatives for the benefit of the people. Its programs are focussed in the areas of health, education, creating jobs and enabling infrastructure. These initiatives are closely aligned with the Western Province 5-Year Development Plan (for more information, visit www.pngsdp.org).
Several years ago, SDP invested in upgrading the telecommunications network to a 4G service but some coverage gaps remain. This “proof of concept” initiative will test a new, state-of-the- art technology to address these problems.
Kacific Broadband Satellites Group (Kacific) is a next-generation broadband satellite operator that provides affordable, high-speed broadband access to Asia Pacific. Its new Kacific1 geostationary satellite uses the latest multi-beam space communications and ground technology to provide high-quality service to businesses, governments and communities.
Kacific’s high-throughput Ka-band satellite delivers internet connectivity throughout the Pacific and South East Asia (especially to underserved rural and suburban areas). These services foster greater internet usage, which in turn fuel economic growth and greatly improved populations safety and welfare (for more information, visit www.kacific.com.
The recently installed satellite dishes enable the Community Health Workers to access the internet via mobile phones to seek specialist medical advice from an on-call doctor based at Rumginae Hospital or organise life-saving medical evacuations on a Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) flight. The new technology will also enable SDP’s Aerial Health Patrol medical teams to provide better support for these health facilities by receiving calls for medical advice and requests to assist with medical supplies at any time of the day and night.

The upgrades are part of AT&T’s ongoing efforts to increase speeds, add capacity and expand the availability of its network using the latest technology. AT&T invested nearly $425 million in its Phoenix area wireless and wired networks during 2014-2016.


Eisa Zarepour was commenting on reports that nearly 1,000 receivers of Starlink satellite internet have been activated in Iran.
The minister says Iran welcomes operation of such internet companies in the country provided that they respect Iranian national regulations.
Starlink satellite constellation is operated by US-based company Space X. It has recently announced that a number of its receivers have been activated in Iran, without providing further details.
Iranians have faced massive disruptions to the internet provided by domestic companies amid months-long protests and riots, first triggered in September over the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in morality police custody.
The disruptions have called attentions to the possibility of using internet provided by foreign operators inside Iran.
But Iranian authorities say any such coverage by foreign firms will only be legal if they comply with national regulations.
