The Fire Information and Rescue Equipment project at UC Berkeley has developed a prototype wireless sensor network (WSN) Incident Command (IC) interface for urban industrial firefighting emergency response. A fixed WSN deployment in the building acts as backbone communication between mobile personnel Command. Telos Sky mote 802.15.4 platform with TinyOS operating system is used variety of sensing tasks. These include localization, environmental monitoring, redundant communications. We...
We report the iridium-catalyzed, stereoselective conversion of secondary alcohols or ketones to anti-1,3-diols by silylation C-H bonds γ oxygen and oxidation resulting oxasilolane. The in silyl ethers derived from is enabled a catalyst formed simple bisamidine ligand. occurs with high selectivity at bond over distal primary proximal bonds. Initial mechanistic investigations suggest that source newly achieved reactivity long lifetime binding constant strongly electron-donating
The functionalization of C-H bonds enables the modification complex molecules, often with intention forming compound libraries. borylation aryl is a widely used class bond functionalization, and conventional catalyst systems for consist an iridium source
A custom head-mounted display (HMD) integrated into a firefighter's facemask was evaluated for its ability to aid in navigating through large buildings low-visibility conditions. The HMD monocular occluded design with colour 640×480 pixel LCD mounted low one's field of view. It showed the subject their real-time location on floor plan. Subject found an 802.15.4 wireless sensor network by using received signal strength indicator localization method. study consisted two different courses...
The paper presents a design methodology and case study for monocular head-mounted displays (HMDs), wherein user can simultaneously easily see the physical world by looking through and/or around display. approach is user-focused because of complexity human visual system, HMDs are very task, user, context specific. A literature review factors related to HMD given. This includes considerations basic optical design, head neck biomechanics. General guidelines given based on these considerations....
