The new concept of the Internet from AllSeen Alliance

12.12.2013

Manufacturers of devices, network equipment and electronic components announced the creation of the AllSeen Alliance. Its goal is to develop a single industry standard through which communication between devices in the concept of "Internet of things" will be carried out. The members of the alliance call it the "Internet of Everything" and will jointly develop software and channel resources to create an open framework. It will enable device manufacturers, service providers and developers to create interoperable devices and services.

The alliance includes Panasonic, Haier, LG Electronics, Sharp, TP-Link, HTC, Harman, Qualcomm, Cisco, D-Link, Silicon Image, Canary, Fon, LeTV, LIFX, LiteOn, Moxtreme, Sears Holdings, Sproutling, The Sprosty Network, Weaved, doubleTwist and Wilocity are 24 companies in total. They will use operating systems with the Linux kernel in their solutions, and the Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization, will be responsible for software development.

Equipment and component manufacturers will use the AllJoyn open platform, developed by the world's largest chipmaker for smartphones and tablets Qualcomm, which is also a member of the alliance, as the basis for connecting devices in the "Internet of Everything" concept.

The platform is based on a network topology with a nodal structure, in which each node serves not only to transmit and receive its own data, but also as an intermediate point for data transmission between neighboring nodes.

Qualcomm chose this topology because it does not consider it necessary to connect all devices to the Internet. "When you have 2013 devices at home, you don't want all that good stuff connected to the public network," said Rob Chandhok, head of Qualcomm's Innovation Center. Qualcomm introduced the AllJoyn platform in February XNUMX. It can be used on any processor architecture and device running any operating system. Work on the platform has been going on for several years.

In addition to the platform itself, Qualcomm offers a software development kit (SDK) and case studies. It is planned to transfer data between devices using various networks, including Wi-Fi, Ethernet and the electrical network.

The Internet of Things is one of the most promising areas in the information technology market. According to the forecast of IDC, by 2020 the volume of this segment in terms of money will reach $8,9 trillion. "The impetus for the development of the Internet of Things market was provided by a number of factors," said Vernon Turner, senior vice president of IDC. "We have no doubt that the demand for related technologies and services is present both among companies and end users "We are confident that this demand will continue to grow."

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Non-melting ice cream 10.09.2015

In the amusement park Alton Towers, which is located in the British county of Staffordshire, the sale of the world's first non-melting ice cream has begun.

The ice cream was developed by English chef Heston Blumenthal, who specializes in molecular gastronomy and loves to experiment with the composition of his signature dishes. The chef keeps the ingredients of his vanilla ice cream a closely guarded secret.

It is only known that the delicacy is subjected to a special heat treatment, due to which it retains its consistency for a long time. Testing on volunteers has confirmed that non-melting ice cream is completely indistinguishable in taste from "usual" vanilla.
