Paris dans sa bulle. Cliquer sur les flèches pour faire défiler les photos. « Etre dans sa bulle », une expression qui correspond parfaitement à l'état quasi léthargique dans lequel on se sent dans les transports en commun.

Paris dans sa bulle

Envisageons-la un instant au sens propre, notamment : se déplacer dans une bulle. Aujourd'hui, si cette idée vous fait peut-être sourciller, pourquoi ne pas l'envisager dans le futur ? L'agence de design urbain Hehe a pris l'idée au pied de la lettre en imaginant d'étonnants véhicules futuristes qui circuleraient sur la Petite Ceinture parisienne. Des démonstrations ont eu lieu non loin du périphérique et de son agitation, comme on peut le voir dans la vidéo ci-dessous. Avec leurs allures de grosses canettes transparentes, ces véhicules oniriques ne sont pas sans rappeler le nuage volant, dans l'adaptation de 'L'Ecume des jours' par Michel Gondry.

1451898_chapter7.pdf. Understanding Wireless Routing For IoT Networks. The routing of data from source to sink is an integral part of any large-scale wireless sensing and Internet of Things (IoT) solution.

Understanding Wireless Routing For IoT Networks

Unplugged and/or mobile embedded devices used in such low-powered and lossy network (LLN) applications are always severely constrained in terms of available power. Therefore, energy-efficient routing of data becomes critical to any long-term sustainable solution. Background Many large-scale wireless data acquisition and actuation related applications use low-powered embedded devices.

These applications include precision agriculture, building management/industrial automation, vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs), and urban networks/energy and water grids to build smarter cities. The low-powered embedded devices in such applications do not work in isolation and often are part of a larger wireless network, usually involving hundreds or thousands of similar other devices (or field nodes).

Traffic patterns and data flow within an LLN are highly directional. 1. Jeans for Smartphones. Mozilla debuts two Firefox OS developer preview phones — low-end stays the star. What's next in mobile?

Mozilla debuts two Firefox OS developer preview phones — low-end stays the star

Find out at MobileBeat, VentureBeat's 7th annual event on the future of mobile, on July 8-9 in San Francisco. Register now and save $400! With most smartphone makers endlessly obsessed with high-end devices sporting bigger and better specs, Mozilla’s focus on low-end devices with Firefox OS is simply refreshing.

Today, the browser maker unveiled two developer preview phones for Firefox OS that it is offering in partnership with Spanish startup Geeksphone, which is building the phones, and Telefonica. True to its low-end focus, Mozilla is placing the spotlight mostly on the less-powerful Keon (above). On the slightly more powerful end, Geeksphone is also working on a developer preview phone called Peak (right). These aren’t phones meant to take on the iPhone — instead, they’re aiming to get developers comfortable with Firefox OS and its complete reliance on open web standards, which is Mozilla’s big selling point for the platform.

Bluetooth Sticker Ensures You'll Never Lose Your Cellphone or Keys Again. We know you've had to call your cellphone more than a few times to try to remember where you left it.

Bluetooth Sticker Ensures You'll Never Lose Your Cellphone or Keys Again

And the car keys? They're never where they're supposed to be. StickNFind solves that problem for you. Stick these tiny Bluetooth-enabled, coin-sized discs directly onto an object and then track them through an app. The app basically turns your smartphone into a radar screen so you can track the location of the sticker. Jimmy Buchheim, founder of StickNFind, gave us a demo at Mashable headquarters in New York, before heading out to International CES 2013 where they will be showing the device.

Using the app, I was able to see a box with the disc attached literally move across the phone screen. I can see this being incredibly useful for electronic devices, gadgets and, some people might say, kids too. The app also includes a "virtual leash," meaning it will alert you when the disc goes out of range. Bag ladies. What's on your keys? Handbag contents. Whatsinmypurse" Le pool What's in your wallet.
