Web sites
Article Type: Web sites From: Sensor Review, Volume 29, Issue 3
EnOcean GmbH
This is the corporate web site for EnOcean GmbH, the originator of patented self-powered wireless technology. The company manufactures and markets maintenance-free wireless sensor solutions for use in buildings and industrial installations.
Their comprehensive web site provides a wealth of information on their solutions, products, and partners. The “Info and Services” link includes news, events, their in-house magazine, videos, useful application notes, white papers, and case studies.
There is also a link to the EnOcean Alliance, a consortium of companies working to further develop and promote self-powered wireless monitoring and control systems for sustainable buildings by formalising the interoperable wireless standard.
Networking wireless sensors laboratory
http://newslab.cs.wayne.edu/index.html
Supported by the National Science Foundation, The Networking Wireless Sensors (NeWS) Laboratory at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan develops wireless networking protocols for specific sensor types, such as biomedical sensors or environmental sensors. The web site provides a general overview of the Lab with links to its people, research, related resources, published papers, sponsors, and software.
Their research is multidisciplinary and involves faculty in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Ophthalmology, Neurosurgery, and Chemical Engineering. In particular, they are developing networking solutions to support wireless sensors for artificial retina or cortical implantation. Having more detail provided on the NeWS web site regarding this innovative research would be of interest to visitors.
Crossbow technology
This is the corporate web site for Crossbow Technology, a leading supplier of wireless sensor technology and inertial MEMS sensors for navigation and control, headquartered in California.
The homepage highlights a featured Crossbow product, the Crossbow Solutions blog, and news and events. There are links with a breadth of information, on the company, their inertial systems, wireless sensor networks, and eKo, Crossbow’s solution for monitoring needs within Environmental Science. Each product line contains details on technical resources, applications, support, white papers, and ordering information. The eKo link includes a knowledge database.
The wireless sensor networks lab
The Wireless Sensor Networks Laboratory at Stanford University does research on Multi-Camera Networks, Human Interfaces, Smart Environments, User-centric Design, and Ambient Intelligence.
The homepage provides the latest news and events. The rest of the site contains information on the Lab’s research, people, publications, and courses. The research page includes details on the current projects and lists past projects. Though there are high-resolution images, adding videos may enhance the site.
