Mr. Gates responded that trimming the Future Combat Systems, a mix of robotic sensors and combat vehicles designed to provide soldiers better intelligence on the battlefield, "was the hardest decision I had to make".
Executives say they believe that Mr. Gates has already decided to revamp the Army's Future Combat Systems, a $160 billion mix of robotic sensors and new combat vehicles, with the number of manned vehicles being scaled back to two or three, from eight.
In the first instance, with BikeTag, it's using a mix of motion sensors, algorithms and iBeacon tech to power a tracker that tracks as soon as the rider pushes off.
Having a mix of positioning sensors enables Zano to determine its position relative to objects around it and thus maintain a set distance from your mobile device — when used in a "follow me" mode.
Similar to MindMaze, Gait Up had an ambition to build both a software platform coupled with hardware developments, in its case, in the area of analyzing human movement in very precise increments using inertial sensors, or systems that combine a mix of computers, motion sensors like accelerometers and rotation sensors to calculate movement without the need for external references.
In the case of biodetection, this method breaks free from surface-based sensing with poor analyte capture efficiencies and facilitates the mixing of microsphere sensors with analytes.
Now, he has a sophisticated mix of alarms and motion sensors and the police have provided him with marking kits and identity chips so that valuable items can be traced if stolen.
Autonomous cars currently use a mix of radar, laser and ultrasonic sensors, and image recognition technology to navigate the streets and traffic, which could have implications for cyclists' clothing.
CALL it the democratisation of sensors.
