#Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) | Emergencies at sea, providing boaters with a reliable means of signaling distress and summoning rapid assistance
#Niobium
#1550nm LiDAR | Advantages: safety, range, and performance in various environmental conditions | Enhanced Eye Safety: absorbed more efficiently by cornea and lens of eye, preventing light from reaching sensitive retina | Longer Detection Range | Improved Performance in Adverse Weather Conditions such as as fog, rain, or dust | Reduced Interference from Sunlight and Other Light Sources | More expensive due to complexity and lower production volumes of their components
#Wildfires scorched SoCAL coastal communities near LA have sent ash, heavy metals and hazardous debris into the Pacific Ocean
#Toxic ash and chemical residues from burned homes, vehicles and infrastructure polluted Pacific Ocean
#Waves during high tide lapped onto seaside charred homes, pulling debris and toxic ash into Pacific Ocean as waves receded
#Ash and debris discovered in Pacific Ocean 25 miles south of Pacific Palisades burn area
#Ash and debris from SoCAL fires detected up to 100 miles offshore, carried by strong winds
#Toxic ash ftom SoCAL wildfires polluting Pacific Ocean consists of pesticides, asbestos, plastics, lead, heavy metals
#Debris from SoCAL urban fires polluting Pacific Ocean and affecting marine ecosystems contain Heavy Metals: Lead, Arsenic, Mercury from burnt structures and vehicles
#Debris from SoCAL urban fires polluting Pacific Ocean and affecting marine ecosystems contain Asbestos: from buildings and construction materials
#Debris from SoCAL urban fires polluting Pacific Ocean and affecting marine ecosystems contain Plastics burned microplastics, harmful chemicals
#Debris from SoCAL urban fires polluting Pacific Ocean and affecting marine ecosystems contain Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs): formed during combustion of organic materials
#Debris from SoCAL urban fires polluting Pacific Ocean and affecting marine ecosystems containPolychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs): from burnt electrical equipment and old building materials

#ROS 2 | The second version of the Robot Operating System | Communication, compatibility with other operating systems | Authentication and encryption mechanisms | Works natively on Linux, Windows, and macOS | Fast RTPS based on DDS (Data Distribution Service) | Programming languages: C++, Python, Rust
#Dexterous robot | Manipulate objects with precision, adaptability, and efficiency | Dexterity involves fine motor control, coordination, ability to handle a wide range of tasks, often in unstructured environments | Key aspects of robot dexterity include grip, manipulation, tactile sensitivity, agility, and coordination | Robot dexterity is crucial in: manufacturing, healthcare, logistics | Dexterity enables automation in tasks that traditionally require human-like precision
#Agentic AI | Artificial intelligence systems with a degree of autonomy, enabling them to make decisions, take actions, and learn from experiences to achieve specific goals, often with minimal human intervention | Agentic AI systems are designed to operate independently, unlike traditional AI models that rely on predefined instructions or prompts | Reinforcement learning (RL) | Deep neural network (DNN) | Multi-agent system (MAS) | Goal-setting algorithm | Adaptive learning algorithm | Agentic agents focus on autonomy and real-time decision-making in complex scenarios | Ability to determine intent and outcome of processes | Planning and adapting to changes | Ability to self-refine and update instructions without outside intervention | Full autonomy requires creativity and ability to anticipate changing needs before they occur proactively | Agentic AI benefits Industry 4.0 facilities monitoring machinery in real time, predicting failures, scheduling maintenance, reducing downtime, and optimizing asset availability, enabling continuous process optimization, minimizing waste, and enhancing operational efficiency

#SmartGyro stabilization technology | Smartgyro stabilizers effectively reduce boat roll through force created by spinning of flywheel inside vacuum-enclosed sphere, which is then transferred into hull structure to counteract wave motion | Gyroscope is spinning wheel (flywheel) or disk that maintains its orientation and resists changes in its axis of rotation | Gyroscopic effect | The law of conservation of angular momentum | Precession motion | Moment of inertia | Gyro stabilizers are mounted in such a way that force that disturbs axis of orientation of flywheel is (mainly) force caused by rolling | When vessel rolls due to wave motion, on-board gyroscope responds by generating forces that oppose these movements | Antiroll effect can be increased by installing more gyros | Precession motion must always be carefully controlled, continuously adjusting and synchronizing its amplitude and its time correlation with incoming sea waves | Motion control system takes care of this important task by means of hardware computing platform, and series of sensors distributed on different parts of machine | Based on data acquired by sensors, (including boat state - roll, pitch and precession rotation angle), algorithms precisely regulate braking effect of hydraulic pistons mounted on side of sphere containing flywheel, and ultimately, synchronize precession motion with rolling wave | Control system is capable of responding to different, ever changing sea conditions rapidly, and maximum antiroll torque is always generated, whatever sea state | Smartgyro modular approach splits stabilizer into smaller, easy-to-handle components | Modular design allows for opening of sphere containing flywheel, to inspect, extract or replace internal components
