GLEN ALLEN, Va., Feb. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced the release of its new report titled "Sensors for the Internet-of-Things: 2013-2020" The report analyzes and quantifies the opportunities for Internet-connected sensor products in six key industry sectors: home automation, commercial building automation, media and gaming, healthcare, the "Industrial Internet," and "transportation and logistics." The report covers both the sensors and the hubs through which they are connected.
NanoMarkets estimates that the global market for IoT sensors will be approximately $1.6 billion ($US) in 2013, and will grow to a value of $17.6 billion ($US) by the end of the decade as sensors become increasingly connected to the Internet directly or through hubs. However, NanoMarkets notes that much of this growth will be at the expense of conventional sensors with no Internet connectivity.
Additional details about the report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/the_market_for_sensors_in_the_internet_of_things_market_2013_to_2020
About the Report:
This report contains detailed, eight-year forecasts of sensors for the Internet-of-Things (IoT) broken out by type of application sector and type of sensor. The forecast specifically covers devices that sense light, heat, touch/pressure, motion, sound and gas/chemical. The report also examines the trends that are driving demand for IoT sensors in each major applications sector and the enabling technologies that are making deployment of IoT sensors possible.
The report also discusses the strategies of firms that NanoMarkets believes will shape the IoT sensor market including Ambient, Apple, AT&T, Ayogo, Axeda, FedEx, Freescale, GE, Ginger I/O, Google, Green Peaks, IBM, Intel, Interdigital, Invensense, Kore, Linquet, M2O, Microsoft, Nokia, OnStar, Orange, Ouya, QualComm, Red Pine, Rogers, Sensinode, Sony, Valve and Xi3.
From the Report:
- IoT sensors will become ubiquitous, but the market will be dominated by residential and commercial building automation and the "Industrial Internet." In 2018, NanoMarkets says that these applications will account for more than 90 percent of the market. NanoMarkets sees especially rapid growth in sensors for the Industrial Internet which will help control industrial processes and smart objects in industrial environments. But some of the most hyped applications – gaming and healthcare, in particular – have limited growth and market size potential. For example, annual healthcare expenditures on IoT sensors will not grow beyond $400 million during the coming decade.
- NanoMarkets believes that a major opportunity exists to create cost-effective means of bringing legacy sensor networks online with a major opportunity for wireless sensor hubs which will generate revenues of $1.24 billion by 2018. Commercially successful hubs will also need to be IPv6 Internet gateways, since few sensor devices directly support Internet protocols as yet. Even when sensor devices begin to include security, context, localization and data context functions, it will be some time before they become affordable for IoT applications.
- Automation of both commercial and residential building is where the largest revenues for IoT sensors will be generated, with commercial building automation accounting for $7.9 billion in revenues in 2018. Energy control is the "killer app" here; just 1% savings in commercial building energy costs worldwide would amount to some US $62bn in savings through 2020. Building automation markets – especially the residential segment – need plug-and-play, convenience (on par with entertainment experiences) and the ability to use smartphones as controllers.

This isn't exactly a shocking revelation, since the rumor mill has been predicting an early June launch for quite a while. Still, a little certainty is always a nice thing. Check out this image Intel posted on its Chip Shots blog earlier this morning:
4th Generation Intel Core is, of course, the official umbrella brand for Haswell. And 3,337,200,000,000,000 nanoseconds works out to 38 days and 15 hours. Since the Tweet was posted at 8:00 AM Pacific Time this morning, that puts the Haswell launch on June 3 at 11:00 PM PDT—or June 4 at 1:00 AM EDT, if you live on the East Coast.
Good to know. Too bad there's still no word on exactly which chips the company will unveil on launch day. The only other thing the Chip Shots posting says is, "The new family of processors will surpass old technology expectations and usher in a host of striking new designs with incredible performance and extraordinarily long battery life."

"Indestructible" K-9 who changed legislation dies
He survived beatings, stabbings, and paved the way for harsher punishments for criminals who injure police K-9s in the future
By PoliceOne Staff
ROSEVILLE, Minn. — The Minnesota K-9 who survived multiple beatings and a stabbing that changed the abuse of a police K-9 to a felony was euthanized Tuesday.
Major, 11, was the best police dog a handler could ask for, according to Roseville officer John Jorgensen. He had persevered through an often-fatal condition that caused his stomach to fill with gas, had pots broken over his head, was kicked and stabbed, and had almost drowned chasing a suspect into a lake, according to Pioneer Press.
In 2010, Major was paralyzed in his hind legs after he was repeatedly stabbed by a burglar. He was forced to retire, but the incident led to Gov. Mark Dayton signing into legislation a harsher penalty for those who assault a K-9 causing substantial bodily harm.
Using a wheeled sling to preserve mobility, he lived out his retirement with Jorgensen and his family, according to the article.
Jorgenson was forced to put Major down after his health further deteriorated.
"I promised myself and I promised him that we would make that decision if his quality of life deteriorated to the point where he was too weak and he didn't have the same happiness. It was just time."
On his last day, Jorgenson took Major around to all their old patrol spots, fed him a cheeseburger and icecream for his last meal.
"I miss him terribly, but I think he is in a better spot. He is probably chasing down bad guys on four good legs now," Jorgenson said.

Rail travel in Holland
Want to travel to Maastricht from Amsterdam and return. What type of ticket is best and where can I purchase them.
Report Abuse
You can buy your ticket at at Maastricht station. A single (enkele reis) if you are saying in Amsterdam, a return (retour) if you are planning on returning to Maastricht on the same day.
You will need to buy your ticket at the ticket window rather than at a machine unless you have the right change for the machine or a Maestro debit/ATM card with PIN.
You can't buy a ticket online unless you have a Dutch bank account with internet banking.
Report Abuse
Have a look at http://www.ns.nl/en/travellers/home for times and prices.
Report Abuse
topping for later comment after decades of incessant rail travel in The Hetherlands and Holland as well.
Report Abuse
Sorry - I miss read your OP. You buy your ticket at Amsterdam station, again a single unless you are returning the same day.
If you have chip and pin credit card you can buy your ticket at the machine, otherwise my earlier comments apply. Only Schiphol and Amsterdam CS have machine which accept credit cards.

The European Commission is making major steps forward in its new Digital Single Market strategy. One important part, the Platform Liability consultation, pointedly asked whether Internet intermediaries should "do more" to weed out illegal or harmful content on their platforms – in other words, to proactively police the information posted by users.
Facebook Fourth Estate? Two Questions Lawyers Should Answer
By Morgan Weiland on May 24, 2016 at 12:23 pm
In the wake of recent reporting of Facebook's alleged liberal curation of its trending newsfeed and Sen. John Thune's subsequent letter to CEO Mark Zuckerberg seeking answers about these allegations and demanding a meeting, constitutional scholars, press advocates, and civil libertarians have mobilized the First Amendment in the company's defense. The Electronic Frontier Foundation's (EFF) Sophia Cope argued that the letter constitutes "an improper intrusion into editorial freedom," and Stanford Law lecturer Thomas Rubin wrote in Slate that "we should be concerned about this federal intrusion into an independent organization's editorial process."

Verizon v. Federal Communications Commission
Comcast Corporation v. Federal Communications Commission
Comcast Corp. v. FCC is a 2010 United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia case holding that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) does not have ancillary jurisdiction over Comcast's Internet service under the language of the Communications Act of 1934. In so holding, the Court vacated a 2008 order issued by the FCC that asserted jurisdiction over Comcast's network management polices and censured Comcast from interfering with its subscribers' use of peer-to-peer software.
Federal Communications Commission Preserving the Open Internet Proceeding
In 2005, on the same day the FCC re-classified DSL service and effectively reduced the regulatory obligations of DSL providers, the FCC announced its unanimous view that consumers are entitled to certain rights and expectations with respect to their broadband service, including the right to:
Federal Communications Commission Proceeding Regarding Comcast's Blocking of BitTorrent
Net neutrality advocates target zero-rated offerings from Verizon, T-Mobile, others
"Barbara van Schewick, a Stanford law professor and net neutrality expert, filed a report earlier this year with the FCC claiming Binge On "harms competition, innovation and free speech." The program likely violates the FCC's net neutrality rules, she argued, because its technical requirements "categorically exclude" some content providers."
Binge On doesn't live up to T-Mobile's claims, researchers say
"But earlier this year a Stanford professor and net neutrality expert published a lengthy document claiming that Binge On "harms competition, innovation and free speech," and is likely illegal. The program constrains consumer choice by enabling users to watch video from Binge On providers but not their competitors, Barbara van Schewick wrote, and gives an unfair edge to content providers that can afford to make their video compliant with the service."
T-Mobile's Binge On Now 'Zero Rates' 90 Different Services
"Controversy has followed T-Mobile's Binge On since launch, with many, including Stanford lawyer Barbara van Schewick, stating that the program violates net neutrality.
'Net neutrality' rules for fair internet access win in court
"This decision is huge for the FCC's authority," said Marvin Ammori, a longtime net-neutrality advocate. "We won big on everything." That sets the stage for what Ammori and several analysts see as the next big battle. That will likely involve "zero rating" — the practice of exempting preferred video services from customer data caps."

Techdirt Podcast Episode 65: Net Neutrality, Zero Rating & The Games Internet Providers Play
March 15, 2016
The battle for net neutrality seemed like it was over — but the regulations left a loophole open. Unsurprisingly, ISPs quickly started exploiting it, offering "zero rating" services to do an end-run around true net neutrality. Last week's guest Marvin Ammori joins us again this week, to discussthe true and imperfect state of net neutrality, and the many games internet providers play.

Turkish Super Lig leaders Fenerbahce returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion as they thrashed Kayserispor 5-1 on Sunday.
Ersun Yanal's men - beaten 2-1 by Karabukspor in their previous outing - took the lead through Cristian Baroni's penalty after 52 minutes, only for Kayserispor attacker Bobo to equalise seven minutes later.
The hosts' advantage was quickly restored just after the hour mark thanks to striker Moussa Sow, before Mehmet Topal, Emmanuel Emenike and Caner Erkin rounded off the win.
Galatasaray remain eight points behind their fierce rivals following their 3-1 win at bottom side Kayseri Erciyesspor, Wesley Sneijder, Burak Yilmaz and Felipe Melo all finding the net in a comfortable win for Roberto Mancini's side.
However, there were defeats for third-placed Kasimpasa and fourth-placed Besiktas, who both suffered setbacks in their quest for UEFA Champions League football.
Kasimpasa slipped to a 4-2 home loss to Akhisar Belediyespor, despite a double from Adem Buyuk, while Ermin Zec's first-half strike condemned Besiktas to a 1-0 defeat at Genclerbirligi.
Defender Manuel da Costa netted twice in Sivasspor's 3-1 triumph over Karabukspor on Sunday, and earlier in the round relegation-threatened Elazigspor overcame Rizespor 1-0 thanks to a second-half goal from Serdar Ozkan.
Eskisehirspor suffered their first defeat in five league games as they succumbed to a surprising 4-1 loss at Konyaspor.
An Erdal Kilicaslan double and an injury-time strike from Recep Aydin made sure of the points for Konyaspor after Eskisehirspor's Henri Bienvenu had cancelled out Tomas Borek's first-half opener.
Elsewhere, Trabzonspor beat Antalyaspor 2-1 and Gaziantepspor drew 0-0 with Bursaspor.

Energy Blog
US Chamber of Commerce Blog
Michael Kinsley, a long-time observer of national politics, explained 30 years ago in The New Republic that "a 'gaffe' occurs not when a politician lies, but when he tells the truth."
In 2008 President Barack Obama, when he was running for the highest office in the land, committed one when he said, "[E]lectricity rates would necessarily skyrocket" because of his energy policies. If EPA's Clean Power Plan goes into effect after withstanding legal scrutiny, that's what will happen.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton recently committed her own gaffe for saying, "We're going to put a lot of coal companies and coal miners out of business."Hillary Clinton: "We Are Going To Put A Lot Of Coal Miners & Coal Companies Out Of Business"
As politicians often do, she claims she was misunderstood and wants to replace those coal jobs with ones in renewable energy. But she, along with her opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders endorses an extreme and unworkable "keep it in the ground" energy strategy. Dan Byers at the Institute for 21st Century Energy points out, "Secretary Clinton proudly supports those regulations that destroy coal jobs, and has every intention to see they are implemented and even further tightened under her watch."
Moving past parsing political speech, we face a hard truth: The American coal industry is being driven into extinction.
The Sierra Club boasted that's its efforts have helped to shut down a remarkable 100 gigawatts of coal-fired electricity capacity since 2010 (roughly 1/3 of the country's coal generation). Of course, the Sierra Club's "success" means pain for most Americans, in the form of fewer jobs and higher energy prices. The National Mining Association estimates that 100 gigawatts gone equals at least 170,000 jobs lost [subscription required].
One way to see the results of the Obama administration's so-far-successful "war on coal" is the jobs losses. As I wrote a few months back, there are 23% fewer coal mining jobs since 2008.u-s-coal-mining-jobs.png U.S. coal mining jobs: 2007-2015
Energy Information Administration chart: Power plant retirements in 2015.Source: Energy Information Administration.
Another way is looking at what types of power plants have been shutting down. Spoiler alert: Wind and solar aren't being tossed aside.
"[T]he country lost roughly the same total capacity of all of Kentucky's electric sector coal plants that year," Morning Consult's energy writer Jack Fitzpatrick points out.
SNL Financial looks at the harm being done to the coal industry from another angle. The market capitalizations—how much stocks are worth—of the four largest coal companies have fallen by 99% since 2011.snl_financial_coal_market_caps_2016.gif SNL Financial: Changes in market capitalization for coal companies.Source: SNL Financial.
Some of this is market-driven. The shale boom has produced an abundance of natural gas that has been replacing coal in electricity generation.
However, regulatory hits such as the Clean Power Plan have made it more expensive to operate coal-fired power plants, forcing them to shut down, pushing down coal demand, and costing mining and power plant jobs. These losses ripple into communities.
If history is any indication, innovations and global events will alter the supply and demand of energy in unexpected ways. No one knew the shale energy boom would happen until it did. It's why we need policies that keep all types of energy sources on the table. It's ludicrous to abandon coal, when the United States has so much of it—over 260 years of reserves.
Whoever wins the election this November must change the trajectory we're on and stop using regulations to pick energy winners and losers. Our economy needs an "all of the above" energy strategy. Because when families and businesses pay more for electricity but get less, no spin will help the next president explain away that blunder.
To the 45th President of the United States
From: Pete V. Domenici
Dear 45:
You'll be entering the Oval Office at a time of tremendous challenges. As a former chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, I've been vocal about our nation's deficit and the need for serious solutions.
Fortunately, you also have an incredible opportunity: You have the ability to make America an energy superpower.
When I led the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, we knew the future was bright, but we had no idea that America had such vast shale oil and gas resources right under our nose. Through proven technologies and innovation, we've begun to take advantage of those resources, putting thousands to work and generating billions in investment.dear45-logo.jpg Even though our entire energy landscape has changed, our policies haven't. The last major update to our energy policy was in 2005, when I helped pass a bipartisan Energy Bill. The time has come for another look — one that recognizes that we now have the ability to be a global leader in oil and gas production, as well as other opportunities in areas like nuclear energy, which I've long advocated for. We also need to reform our permitting process to build energy infrastructure — it shouldn't take years (or even decades) to get a pipeline or transmission line built.
We also shouldn't throw away one of our greatest strengths — our energy diversity. Coal is still the largest source of electricity in America, providing affordable and reliable energy to over 30 percent of Americans. Efforts to put coal out of business will only hurt us and drive manufacturing and jobs overseas.
Instead, we should continue to invest in technologies that improve all of our resources, including renewable sources like solar and wind. If our nation is to become the energy superpower that we can be, we'll need all of it.
Energy may not be a big issue in this campaign. But when you take office, you'll realize it is one of our nation's most important assets. It gives us a competitive advantage in the global economy, allowing us to attract more manufacturing and create jobs.
Solving our challenges won't be easy. But with the right leadership, we can be the envy of the world.
Former U.S. Sen. Pete V. Domenici
New Mexico, served six terms (1973-2009)
Oil and natural gas not only fuel our economy, they provide the basic materials for making health care products that save lives and keep us healthy.
Step into a hospital or clinic, and you're surrounded by objects that come from petroleum.
Plastics derived from natural gas go into items like MRIs, IV bags and tubes, lights, monitors, stethoscopes, prosthetics, and hearing aids. Chemicals derived from petroleum become soaps, antiseptics, aspirin, and pharmaceuticals.
If we listened to "keep it in the ground" dreamers who think we can live without fossil fuels, we'd not only be left in the dark, we'd be without these life-saving items.

Swiss engineering group ABB has developed technology that can double the power flow of underground cables, making it cheaper to integrate electricity into the grid from distant offshore wind farms.
The innovation means a single high-voltage direct current (DC) cable can now transmit up to 2.6 gigawatts (GW) of power -- enough energy to power two million homes, or serve the electricity needs of Paris, ABB said on Thursday.
Being able to pump more power through underground cables should make it easier to transmit electricity through densely-populated or environmentally-protected areas and even reduce the need for unsightly overhead power lines, said Claes Rytoft, ABB's chief technology officer.
He also hopes the new cable system, which uses a new polyethylene insulation material, can be deployed underground or beneath the sea, will encourage utility customers to invest in more big-ticket renewable energy projects due to lower installation costs.
"Germany is installing a lot of offshore wind farms at the moment with a typical capacity of 1 GW. This means for every GW they have to install a separate cable system to the shore," Rytoft said in an interview.
"With this technology they have the option to connect two offshore wind farms and only have one cable to the mainland."
Rytoft sees a further application in long-distance power corridors, such as Germany's "SUED.LINK" project, announced in February, to carry surplus wind energy from northern regions to the industrial heartland of Baden-Wuerttemberg in the south.
ABB, which makes products used by oil, mining and utility companies, hopes Germany's shift to renewable energy as it weans off nuclear power will help drive demand for green energy.
Green Power Grids
Its latest technological achievement follows on from the development of a circuit breaker two years ago that makes it easier to send electricity through high-voltage DC lines into the grids that link power stations to consumers.
While Rytoft conceded this latest development was more "incremental" than the high-voltage DC circuit breaker, he believes it will help pave the way towards what ABB hopes will be a multi-billion dollar market for DC grids.
Conventional grids use alternating current (AC), but it is less efficient at transferring power over long distances and less compatible with some forms of renewable power generation.
AC and DC power have been at odds since their proponents, Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison, battled for supremacy in the new technology over a century ago.
Edison even electrocuted an elephant to highlight the dangers of Tesla's AC power, but his rival's system took off because it could transmit electricity further. At the time, DC power couldn't carry power beyond a few city blocks.
High voltage DC can transmit 30 to 40 percent more energy than conventional overhead lines carrying alternating current, making it a better for bringing power from distant sources.
ABB said its new 525 kilovolt high-voltage DC cable system could now reach distances of 1,500 kilometres (932 miles), up from less than 1,000 km.
"The two inventions put together make it more feasible to build a DC grid," Rytoft said.

Hey folks,
Hope you're planning to go to Drupal Camp Ohio next weekend (Friday and Saturday)!
Drupal Camps are a great, (and generally low-cost,) way to learn and connect with others in the community.
Last year's Drupal Camp Ohio (in its first year) was really well organized, packed with great sessions, and an awesome time. This year it's been expanded to two days to accommodate all of the interest there was. If you're on the fence, check out the Camp Schedule to see what kind of sessions will be presented. The problem is usually that there are too many good sessions going on at the same time! A few more details in the forwarded message below.
Respond here if you want to carpool or are looking to share accommodations.
Hope to see you all there!
+ Jeff
