  • Application-Story-UEI-Spacex.Pdf
    APPLICATION STORY United Electronic Industries & SpaceX WORKING TOGETHER TO FIND SOLUTIONS SpaceX was founded in 2002 by Tesla’s Elon Musk with the end goal of reducing space transportation costs enough to colonize Mars. In 2008, it became the first successful private space launch operator, and in May 2020, it successfully flew humans to the International Space Station on the SpaceX Dragon 2. Most recently, SpaceX has been developing a spacecraft for use in crewed interplanetary spaceflight. With the increasing complexity of each new spacecraft, searching for the right monitoring and control system solution for their ground support equipment was critical to ushering in more successful launches. THE IMMEDIATE CHALLENGES SpaceX’s existing ground support equipment wasn’t robust, reliable, and scalable enough to meet the environmental demand of rocket launch for manned flight on such a large, expansive launch pad. In addition, much of the equipment was becoming obsolete. The old, obsolete equipment needed twice the amount of wiring and hardware for basic feedback of sensors and controls. All new DAQ and control hardware needed to be extremely robust, since launchpads were subject to extreme temperatures, pressure, and vibration and system failure could have extreme consequences. UEI’S PATHWAY TO SUCCESS FOR SPACEX UEI specialists visited SpaceX’s existing launchpads in California and Florida, as well as their rocket production and testing facility in Texas, and found that SpaceX needed feedback on all control points, support for many different sensor types, and the ability to work with existing software infrastructure. To make the new system as reliable as possible, UEI hardware allowed SpaceX to change the architecture of their launch pads, moving from a centralized control system to a distributed system with self-diagnostic capabilities for every component.

  • 7 Tips for Budget Summer Travel
    7 tips for budget summer travel: from the best time to book flights to finding hotel deals With summer right around the corner, here's a guide to finding a more affordable vacation if you're thinking of getting away Summer travel tips for holidaying on a a budget. Courtesy Unsplash With summer right around the corner, if you're thinking about taking a holiday, you're not alone. Travel restrictions in place owing to the Covid-19 pandemic mean that millions of people have not been able to venture overseas in a year or longer. But with vaccination rates ramping up, travellers are once again eager to take to the skies. In the UAE, May was a busy month for air travel with Dubai International Airport named the world's busiest airport for international flights, with 1,895,866 scheduled seats. As traveller confidence returns, it's getting a little more tricky to find the bargain deals that were around a few months ago when airlines and hotels were desperate to get people on their seats and in their rooms. But that's not to say there are no summer offers to be found, if you're willing to put in the work you can still grab a bargain. Full article: https://www.thenationalnews.com/lifestyle/travel/7-tips-for-budget-summer-travel-from-the-best-time-to-book-flights-to-finding- hotel-deals-1.1233572 1 Book flights sooner, rather than later While experts have predicted that travelling will get more expensive in a post Covid-19 world, right now we're still in the midst of things, so there are still bargain airfares to be found.

    Multimodal learning analytics on sustained attention by measuring ambient noise Jeffrey Pronk Responsible Professor: Marcus Specht (PhD) Supervisor: Yoon Lee (PhD candidate) Peer group members: Giuseppe Deininger (BSc student) Jurriaan Den Toonder (BSc student) Sven van der Voort (BSc student) I Abstract In this research, a learner’s sustained attention in the remote learning context will be studied by collecting data from different sensors. By combining the results of these sensors in a multi-modal analytics tool, the estimation of the learner’s sustained at- tention can hopefully be improved. This research will mainly focus on microphone recordings of ambient sound in a learners room. The main research question of this re- search was "How can ambient noise sensing aid in a multi-modal analytics tool to track sustained attention?". The multi-modal learning analytics tool, if accurate enough, could potentially be used by teachers to make their material more engaging and could help learner’s to keep their focus while performing a learning task (Schneider et al., 2015). The research resulted in a model with 61% accuracy. This percentage needs to be further researched, since because of the COVID situation, not enough data could be collected to train the model. Because of the relatively low accuracy of the model, it was found that ambient noise sensing can aid the multi-modal analytics tool to some extent by adding some data-points it is certain about, when the mobile movement tracking model does not detect a distraction. If the model improves in future research, the model could be able to help mobile movement tracking model, even if the mobile movement tracking model already predicts a distraction with bigger then 50% certainty.
