About 86% AOD values retrieved from MODIS remote sensor were found within an uncertainty limit (Δτpλ = ±0.05 ± 0.15τpλ).
Observed efficiencies are rather low, but large enough to power a remote sensor with an adapted measuring strategy.
Guo, L., Zhang, X., Huang, Y., Hu, R. & Liu, C. Thermal characterization of a new differential thermal expansion heat switch for space optical remote sensor.
MyPlug inserts into an electric socket and uses a remote sensor to detect the arrival of individuals carrying custom electronic IDs, and sends notifications by text message.
The location coordinates of each agent are measured by some remote sensor and transmitted digitally to its neighbors.
In October, the Defense Department issued a broad call for technology that can help fight terrorism, like software that can identify faces from a video or predict terrorist actions and behavior by using remote sensor technology.
The company's C-Tech Wireless Weather Station ($30) has two pieces: a remote sensor and a receiver that can be placed up to 100 feet away, presumably somewhere warm and dry like a tent.
The energy harvesting is performed using a coil-magnet arrangement connected to a variable resistance load with the target objective to auto-power a remote sensor.
As a passive remote sensor, microwave radiometer receives the noise resembling signals that are generated by microwave radiation while mixed with the systemic noise of the receiver.
"We're able to see for the first time what a large group of fish looks like," said Nicholas Makris of MIT, who helped to develop the new remote sensor system.
That data is supplemented by more than one hundred remote sensor stations situated throughout the range, where "snow pillows" provide estimates based on the shifting weight of snow above them.
