		<title>Designing Wireless Sensors to Last 25 Years</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When designing a power management system for a wireless remote sensor, it is important to choose a primary battery that last for decades under extreme operating conditions. Lithium thionyl chloride chemistry is the preferred choice due to its proven ability to deliver 25-plus years of service life.
Optimizing battery life and long-term reliability involves numerous variables, including [...]]]></description>

		<title>Connecting Your Car, Socks and Body to the Internet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the NYT:
Several years ago, I watched Vint Cerf, who helped draft the architecture of the Internet and is now chief Internet evangelist at Google, give a talk about the future of the Internet.
During his presentation, he discussed the early days of the Internet, when he was developing the protocol called TCP/IP with the United States Department of [...]]]></description>

		<title>RadiaLE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Link reliability is an important metric for WSN but the nature of RF propagation and the congestion of ISM bands makes link stability a hard guess. However, the flexibility and economy that low-power wireless networks promise are bringing increasing efforts in the community and the industry to better grasp the effects of path loss and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Panel to debate wireless sensor networks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A panel of experts has been drawn together to discuss the future of wireless sensor networks at the Embedded Systems Conference, which take place April 26 to 29 at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California.
Collections of autonomous smart wireless sensors that could connect together to form ad hoc networks were not practical until [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Scientist article on Wireless Power</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New Scientist magazine has written an article titled “Unplugged: Goodbye cables, hello energy beams” which discusses several technologies and companies in the wireless power market, including Powercast.
As it relates to wireless sensors, RF energy is the only controllable, practical technology to provide power over distance to multiple sensors simultaneously.  Other technologies are either too directional for one-to-many [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sharing code with Sun SPOT manager</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever since the very first Sun SPOTs were delivered to Sun Labs we have relied on shared code resources and building on the work of others rather than re-inventing the wheel every time around. The more complex the Sun SPOT platform gets, the more difficult it can be to remember how to access a specific [...]]]></description>

		<title>12Km ZigBee link with Waspmote</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During the research of the Waspmote sensor platform, several tests were made using different kinds of transceivers according to frequency bands (2.4GHz, 868MHz and 900MHz) and transmission power (1mw, 100mW, 315mW).
The tests performed in the Monegros Desert (Spain) had the purpose of testing the capabilities and limits of the 802.15.4/ZigBee radios integrated in Waspmote. These [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sensors Never Sleep</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Imagine a job that involved sitting in front of a refrigerator 24 hours a day and checking its temperature every five minutes. It is doubtful many people would apply. Plus, what organization would want to spend the money on that person’s salary? It might be nice to be sure the temperature in the refrigerator remained [...]]]></description>
