Using Tadiran Li Batteries. Our required battery lig=fe is greater than 10 years. We are currently acheiving that life on a cell phone based data system.
@pauln, @apdobaj - the one I use is simply called WiFi Analyzer by Kevin Yuan, it is available on the google play site for free. I find it very useful for debugging friends wifi issues.
Firstheck the microwave seal - there are some monitors that provide this information to determine if it is still good or not.
If it is then proceed below. 1) if you have an android or ios device - use one of their WiFi analyzers to see where your microwave oven is transmitting (microwave has to be on)
2) if it is transmitting on the lower or upper channels, you can simply go in to the router/access point configuration and change the channel to one that is not impacted. This usually can fix the problem.
3) if you can't do that, you can check to see if your wifi devices support the 5GHz range and change the router/access point to use that band.
Budget is like listing all you expenses and incomes(gains and losses). Margin is the line in your budget were you say how much cash you will keep on hand( how much more signal than the minimum)
You say that 802.11 signals effectively raise noise floor for a 802.15 system. Do you know of any studies or references on this that quantify this effect? Thanks.
I believe that receiving in these systems involves a lot of digital signal processing, which might be where the power goes. But again, I'm just a software guy...
Today's first audience question is For those of you who are working with battery powered applications, what battery types are you using and how long of a service life does your application require?
I have tried both Windows Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, also updated Adobe Flash, and still not audio. Looks like they need some good IT engineering to review this audio reliability situation.
If you're having audio issues, please note that some companies block live audio streams. If you don't hear any audio, try refreshing your browser. The show will be archived and available on this page.
The IEEE 802.15.4f-2012 and 802.15.4g-2012 standard documents are currently $5.00 but should also be available soon at no charge since they were both published in April 2012.
The streaming audio player will appear on this web page when the show starts at 2pm eastern today. Note however that some companies block live audio streams. If when the show starts you don't hear any audio, try refreshing your browser.
A new battery design, which replaces lithium with abundant and low-cost elemental sulfur, is still in its nascent stages but shows real promise for giving batteries more energy potential.
PTC will offer a virtual desktop environment for its Creo product design applications, potentially freeing engineers to run them from remote desktops on a variety of operating systems and mobile devices.
The push to achieving more intelligent, integrated manufacturing is putting a strong focus on networking and connectivity as key enabling technologies.
Now that solar and wind harvesting technologies are a thriving market, researchers are seeking other environmentally related energy sources for which they can create harvesting devices.

For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This radio show will show what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.
