GATT (Generic Attribute Profile) allows developers to build unique profiles specific for their applications. HID (Human Interface Device Profile) makes your Bluetooth enabled mice and keyboards work effortlessly. BIP (Basic Imaging Profile) allows you to send images between devices (other phones, printers, even picture frames).
Bluetooth 5 Now Available:
Adoption of latest Bluetooth® specification propels interoperability, sets stage for transformative wireless connectivity
One to one connectivity have been solved. With much of the industry not realizing that bluetooth range can now be extended up to 1000 feet between low cost bluetooth routers and standard bluetooth low energy devices.
Key feature updates include:
Four times range
Two times speed,
Eight times broadcast message capacity.
Longer range powers whole home and building coverage, for more robust and reliable connections.
Higher speed enables more responsive, high-performance devices.
Increased broadcast message size increases the data sent for improved and more context relevant solutions.
“This means whole-home and building coverage, as well as new use cases for outdoor, industrial, and commercial applications will be a reality. With the launch of Bluetooth 5, we continue to evolve to meet the needs of IoT developers and consumers while staying true to what Bluetooth is at its core: the global wireless standard for simple, secure, connectivity.”
For quite some time now, it’s largely been accepted as fact that innovation in the HDTV space had hit an insurmountable ceiling. With ultra-thin 4K displays delivering incredible picture quality at remarkably low prices, it was hard to fathom what the future of TV watching would entail, or if it would even be markedly different from what it is today.
But as the famous Steve Jobs quote goes: The best way to predict the future is to invent it. Apple may not have figured out how to re-invent the HDTV, but the same can’t be said for Panasonic.
X10 is a protocol for communication among electronic devices used for home automation (domotics). It primarily uses power line wiring for signaling and control, where the signals involve brief radio frequency bursts representing digital information. A wireless radio based protocol transport is also defined.
X10 was developed in 1975 by Pico Electronics of Glenrothes, Scotland, in order to allow remote control of home devices and appliances. It was the first general purpose domotic network technology and remains the most widely available.
Although a number of higher bandwidth alternatives exist, X10 remains popular in the home environment with millions of units in use worldwide, and inexpensive availability of new components.
Protocol
Whether using power line or radio communications, packets transmitted using the X10 control protocol consist of a four bit house code followed by one or more four bit unit codes, finally followed by a four bit command. For the convenience of users configuring a system, the four bit house code is selected as a letter from A through P while the four bit unit code is a number 1 through 16.
When the system is installed, each controlled device is configured to respond to one of the 256 possible addresses (16 house codes × 16 unit codes); each device reacts to commands specifically addressed to it, or possibly to several broadcast commands.
The protocol may transmit a message that says “select code A3”, followed by “turn on”, which commands unit “A3” to turn on its device. Several units can be addressed before giving the command, allowing a command to affect several units simultaneously. For example, “select A3”, “select A15”, “select A4”, and finally, “turn on”, causes units A3, A4, and A15 to all turn on.
Note that there is no restriction that prevents using more than one house code within a single house. The “all lights on” command and “all units off” commands will only affect a single house code, so an installation using multiple house codes effectively has the devices divided into separate zones.
In fact, police seem to have already relied on his smart meter that measures electricity and water usage. Police found that on the night of the murder, Bates used roughly 140 gallons of water between 1:00am and 3:00am. Investigators believe that this could be a sign that he had used water to wash away evidence of what happened on his hot tub patio, Engadget reported.Regardless of what’s discovered on the Echo, the use of evidence gathered from smart devices has been controversial.

Interacting with your customers is one of the most important parts of running a service business. If a person doesnt like you, or feel comfortable with you in their home, they are far less likely to be
Personal Space is Your Friend
Keep an appropriate amount of space between your female customer and yourself. Particularly if she is the only one home, be mindful of the fact that you are in her house by being respectful of her space. You should also be wary of sneaking up on your customer. Let her know what rooms in the house you will need to visit and in what order. If you want to go over anything with her when you are finished with your work, let her know ahead of time and ask where you will be able to find her when you’re finished in order to avoid wandering around her house.
Be Respectful
The importance of being respectful to your female customer simply cannot be overstated. Showing respect to both the customer and their home will go a long way. Make sure you are not tracking dirt through their living room, or leaving your equipment lying around their house. Being courteous also involves using respectful names for your female customers. Avoid calling them hon, dear, or sweetheart as it can often lead to them feeling uncomfortable. The best way to avoid awkward name situations is simply by sticking with calling them by whatever name they use when they introduce themselves to you.
Keep Your Language Neutral
You never know a customer’s views on a particular subject, so it’s important to keep your language neutral. Don’t make crude or inappropriate jokes that have the potential to make a homeowner feel uncomfortable. This advice applies to all customers, but is particularly important to be conscious of with female customers. If you’re ever in doubt of how a comment will be received, don’t say it.
Build Trust
The most important thing you can do to make a female customer feel at ease is to establish trust. The customer is letting you into their home and one of the biggest questions they are asking themselves is “can I trust this person?” If the opportunity arises, let them know a little bit about yourself, like why you started this business and what you love about it. The less they view you as a stranger, the more they will trust you. This will help build a good working relationship between you and your customer, which will ultimately lead to them booking you again!
The bottom line when dealing with female customers: treat them with respect. Respect their homes, their belongings, and their families during your visit and you’ll end up with more repeat business then you’ll know what to do with!
Optical LANs have been around since the mid-1980s but in the last few years they have benefited from the worldwide move to install fiber to the home. With over 100 million FTTH subscribers, FTTH has become a market driven by the economies of scale and costs have plummeted. It did not take long for designers to understand that FTTH, especially as used in multi-dwelling units, was similar to typical LANs. Much as LANs based on telco PBX architectures became the first standard for LANs, telco FTTH architectures, especially PONs (passive optical networks), are being adopted for the next generation of LANs. Here you will find some history and an explanation of how this new generation of telco architecture is being widely adopted.
Robot ‘jellyfish’ with ‘tentacles’ that catch trash and clean polluted water
The Jellyfish Lodge is a concept conceived by architect Janine Hung for Inhabitat’s Biodesign Competition. They boast kitchen and bathroom-equipped living quarters and even vegetable gardens in their base. They have long ‘tentacles’ leading into the surrounding river which traps and collects rubbish and also filters polluted water.
When it comes to design, mother nature has a lot to teach us. The field of Biodesign has emerged as an exciting new discipline which integrates the best ideas from nature with the cutting edge of modern technology, fostering technological breakthroughs that could allow us to live better lives, more in harmony with our environment. The Jellyfish Lodge proposes to
