For Episode 32, we were joined by Mazen Jamal for an in-depth discussion on the business case for indoor air quality (IAQ).

A whole body of scientific research now shows that CO2 levels impact cognitive function. Yet, IAQ often seems like an afterthought for smart building technology projects. 

Is it just reality that IAQ is lower in the technology “pecking order” than energy management, occupancy analytics, artificial intelligence, fire detection, etc, and therefore doesn't get the same investment?

#32 The Simple Business Case for Indoor Air Quality!

while soil moisture sensors are not suitable for grain moisture measurement, investing in proper equipment like grain bin moisture sensors is essential for maintaining grain quality. For more Visit: https://binfancontrol.com

Will A Soil Moisture Sensor Work For Grain Moisture

A soft condensed matter sensor (SCMS) designed to measure strains on the human body is presented. The hybrid material based on carbon black (CB) and a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) was bonded to a textile elastic band and used as a sensor on the human wrist to measure hand motion by detecting the movement of tendons in the wrist. Additionally it was able to track the blood pulse wave of a person, allowing for the determination of pulse wave peaks corresponding to the systole and diastole blood pressures in order to calculate the heart rate. Sensor characterization was done using mechanical cycle testing, and the band sensor achieved a gauge factor of 4–6.3 while displaying low signal relaxation when held at a strain levels. Near-linear signal performance was displayed when loading to successively higher strain levels up to 50% strain.

Welcome, AI enthusiasts! It’s September eighteen, twenty twenty-four, and today we’ve got a full slate of exciting AI news to discuss. From augmented reality to smarter robots, let's dive right in.

Snap’s new AR glasses are powered by AI. Snap has just launched its fifth-generation Spectacles, standalone augmented reality glasses running on the new Snap operating system. These sleek glasses feature multiple cameras and sensors that allow for multi-modal AI interactions, making your Snapchat experience more immersive and engaging. However, the glasses only last for about forty-five minutes on a charge and come with a hefty price tag. Can they stand up to offerings from competitors like Meta? Only time will tell!

1X’s new model helps robots act in the world. The robotics company 1X has developed an AI-powered virtual simulator known as the “World Model.” This technology enables robots to predict complex object interactions and foresee multiple outcomes from a single scenario. Trained on extensive data from their humanoid robots, the model can generate diverse actions like grasping objects or opening doors. This breakthrough could significantly enhance how robots assist with everyday tasks, making them more efficient and capable.

Turn documents into engaging podcasts. Google’s NotebookLM has introduced a feature called ‘Audio Overview.’ This tool allows users to upload documents and receive a podcast-style audio discussion between two AI hosts. Simply upload your text, click generate, and voila! It’s a new way to consume information, making your research papers and reports easier to digest on the go.

AI memory works shockingly like humans. Researchers in Hong Kong have highlighted how large language models, such as GPT-4, possess dynamic memory capabilities that mirror human cognitive processes. This kind of memory allows these models to generate responses based on inputs rather than simply recalling fixed data. If further verified, this insight could revolutionize our understanding of artificial intelligence and its similarities with human thought patterns.

And finally, let’s not forget about the six new AI tools and the four new AI job opportunities that are sprouting up, bringing fresh possibilities in the tech landscape.

That wraps up our AI news roundup for today. Be sure to stay informed and keep your eyes peeled for developments in the ever-evolving world of artificial intelligence. Catch you next time!
