April 2003 Sensor Networks from the Silk Road to the Dead Sea I read the article "Sensor Networks from the Silk Road to the Dead Sea" and found the technology highly sophisticated yet amazingly simple to use. Our school (the division of civil engineering) is working towards the use of sensors to transmit critical data such as water and air quality, and critical structural and building behavior near to construction sites. — Seng Heng Foo, Singapore Polytechnic April 2003 A Big Radio in a (Very) Small Package Depending upon the power and antenna requirements, micro motes could be used for recreational hobby vehicles. Military applications could include hidden radios for captured troops to use. Another application: sunglasses with a built-in radio. :) My noggin is turning. — James Powers April 2003 Gaining A Green Thumb in Semiconductor Manufacturing Who says semiconductor fabs are not green? — Bill Lindblad Note: Comments may be edited for clarity.
