Dr Saafi hopes, though, that once it is deployed for real, a painted structure might itself generate the necessary current from the kinetic energy of traffic vibrations or of a turbine's whirling blades.
The UWASN can be deployed for real-time warship monitoring, oceanographic data collection, environmental monitoring, and disaster prevention, etc.
Portable sequencing kits have, for example, enabled 'lab in a suitcase' solutions to be deployed for real-time genomic surveillance of the Ebola virus in West Africa [ 3].
WGS of a pathogen has enabled the resolution of a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus outbreak on a neonatal intensive care ward [ 1] and the successful identification of sources of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections on a burns unit [ 2] and, most recently, it has been deployed for the real-time surveillance of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa [ 3].
Following the ongoing optimizations, tests, and integration in collaboration with the fire management agencies and first responders, GOES-EFD could be deployed for regional scale real-time surveillance to complement existing fire identification methods.
Versa Module Europa bus based Real Time Computer (RTC) systems are deployed for Instrumentation & Control of PFBR.
Therefore, new ideas and concepts must be evaluated thoroughly, and particularly in realistic, real-world Internet scenarios, before they can be deployed for production networks.
