Taking this further, some hospitals have installed ‘smart beds’ that can detect if they are occupied and if a patient is trying to get up. These beds can also be adjusted to ensure the correct pressure and support is automatically provided to the patient. This all allows processes to become more efficient as well as allowing certain tasks to be automated, particularly those that are repetitive, time consuming, or dangerous.

These example sentences are selected automatically from various online news sources to reflect current usage of the word 'sensor.' Views expressed in the examples do not represent the opinion of Merriam-Webster or its editors. Microsoft, like other major firms involved in cybersecurity, maintains a vast sensor network to look for malicious activity on the internet, and is frequently a target itself. The sensor size allows smartphone makers to incorporate it into current smartphone designs without worrying about internal space. Sharper Image is well known for its home electronics, air purifiers, gifts and other high-tech lifestyle gadgets like an ultrasonic garage parking sensor for $59.99.

"IoT offers us opportunity to be more efficient in how we do things, saving us time, money and often emissions in the process," Evans says. It allows companies, governments and public authorities to re-think how they deliver services and produce goods. An argument has been raised that only because something can be connected to the internet doesn't mean it should be, but each device collects data for a specific purpose that may be useful to a buyer and impact the wider economy. Use wearables to monitor human health analytics and environmental conditions. The ability of IoT to provide sensor information as well as enable device-to-device communication is driving a broad set of applications. The following are some of the most popular applications and what they do.

An Internet connection now allows many devices to be simultaneously attacked. They eliminate the need for a physical presence or physical connections. Within companies, big changes in information patterns will have implications for organizational structures, as well as for the way decisions are made, operations are managed, and processes are conceived. Product development, for example, will need to reflect far greater possibilities for capturing and analyzing information. The Forum's State of the Connected World report identifies a 'governance gap' that needs to be closed between the potential risks and society’s efforts to safeguard against them through laws, industry standards and self-governance approaches. Real-time crime mapping and predictive policing tools could also help prevent crime.

Specific topics include maritime transport systems, global supply chains, gateways and transport corridors. Win-Win Transportation Emission Reduction StrategiesThere are many possible ways to reduce pollution emissions. Win-Win Transportation Solutions are cost-effective policy reforms that solve transportation problems by improving mobility options and removing market distortions that cause excessive motor vehicle travel. This report discusses the Win-Win concept and describes various Win-Win emission reduction strategies.

This system uses the cloud to manage network devices deployed on-premises at different locations. The solution requires Cisco Meraki cloud-managed devices, which provide full visibility of the network through their dashboards. A managed on-premises switch lets you configure and monitor your LAN, giving you tighter control of your network traffic. Cloud Internet Services are security and performance capabilities designed to protect public-facing web content and applications before they reach the cloud. Get DDoS protection, global load balancing and a suite of security, reliability and performance capabilities designed to protect public-facing web content and applications before they reach the cloud. Computer networks enable communication for every business, entertainment, and research purpose.

The first ten chapters cover a specific conceptual dimension of transport geography, such as networks, modes, terminals, and urban transportation. In addition to these conventional topics, emerging issues such as globalization, supply chain management, information technologies, energy, and the environment are also thoroughly discussed. Resilience refers to a system’s ability to efficiently absorb shocks.
