TUIO Tracking your carbon footprint 25 February 2008 An innovation called Carbon Hero may help reduce global warming by making people more aware of their carbon footprint. Regional prize winner in the 2007 European Satellite Navigation Competition, sponsored by ESA’s Technology Transfer Programme, the device uses satellite navigation technology to track journeys. Concerned about global warming, many people are now looking for ways to reduce their generation of carbon dioxide (CO2). CarbonDiem, a key ring sensor displays the carbon footprint on a mobile phone “With Carbon Hero calculating your carbon footprint is easy,” explains Andreas Zachariah, a graduate student from the Royal College of Art in London and inventor of Carbon Hero. It was back in 2006, that Andreas Zachariah came up with the idea of a small and practical device to track personal CO2 emissions during travel. Andreas Zachariah demonstrates CarbonDiem to Prince Philip "We have now tested our application using GPS and it has proved to be very efficient.
Qt Developer Network - Aurora Technology We created realtime.io to be an instant communications link between devices and applications. Our platform is leading the architecture for the Internet of Things by leveraging real-time web services and cloud technologies. realtime.io is designed from the ground up and solving a lot of issues with building wireless sensor networks, M2M, and remote control and monitoring applications. realtime.io enables the suite of technologies that ioBridge licenses to companies looks to build next generation products and services. We are completely flexible with how you interface with realtime.io and the ioBridge Cloud. » Your Device + ioBridge Module. » Your Device + ioBridge Firmware. » Your Device(s) + ioBridge Gateway. » Ease of installation and operation. » Low cost. » Easy to create new applications. ioBridge provides a free web-interface and user configurable dashboard. At ioBridge, we’re keenly aware of the novelty and utility involved in connecting real world devices to the Web.
NetIO Controller Earth Phone - Cell Phone Sales and Services for US Domestic or I Feel, Act, Make sense • Sen.se Smart home solutions » Home There Corporation has a plan to publish and widely share its ThereGate™ platform and APIs. Due to market interest in energy related applications we have during the first business year of the company focused our R&D work heavily on these solutions and the components needed to support them in the platform. All this work and components are enhancing the capabilities of the ThereGate platform and will also benefit future platform users Focus on projects with partners We are actively working on integration projects of Home Energy Management Solutions (HEMS) in partnerships with several companies using the ThereGate platform as a hub or an “airport” connecting different measurement and control devices, back-end systems and the users. Going There with us Even if this is not the time to widely open the ThereGate interfaces and SDKs it is good to know that we already have a platform with APIs that has a lot of capabilities. Sincerely, Kari Rantanen VP Marketing, There Corporation
Learning interprocess communication with the ACE Framework - Aurora For most programmers, interprocess communication (IPC) is synonymous with using the Socket API. The Socket API was originally developed for the UNIX® platform to provide an application-level interface on top of the TCP/IP protocol. It supports a plethora of functions, some of which are shown in Table 1. Table 1. There are several problems with using the native Socket API. The Adaptive Communication Environment (ACE) Framework defines a set of wrapper façades that address these problems. ACE classes for network programming Table 2 shows some of the basic classes that ACE defines for TCP/IP connectivity. Table 2. For User Datagram Protocol (UDP) communication, the ACE_SOCK_Dgram class and its variants are used. Back to top Creating a client-side connection Let's start by dissecting the code in Listing 1. Listing 1. The client needs two pieces of information: the host name and the port number to which the connection will be established. ACE_INET_Addr server ("tintin.cstg.in:458:) or: Listing 2.
