Video walls are the future of education. Students can connect from their tablets and laptops to a giant spectacle of interactive information being broadcasted on a screen. Teachers can engage the students to physically manipulate content on the display, turning it into an interactive exercise. Now, the distraction is the main event.

In September 2013, Toronto will open its arms to the world when the 2013 Meeting of the Minds annual leadership summit comes to the Evergreen Brick Works. This three-day event is significant for two reasons: first, it marks the first time Meeting of the Minds (MOTM) will be held outside of the United States.

Cornerstones is a unique publicationin that we speak not only to engineering and contractor communities, but also to the facility professionals, managers, owners and beyond.This publication is a member benefit, available only to BACnet International members. To join as an individual (it is free!)

a list of the 101 best electricity resources on the web which you can see here http://www.electricalengineeringschools.org/electricity-101. I did my best to cover sites in power distribution, smart grids, electricity news along with personal and professional blogs. My hope is that people can take away some great info from my research and really learn something new about the industry and find some great info

Sabisu has developed Shika, a lightweight historian, to process, manipulate and store data at higher speeds than can be achieved with SQL databases. The customers’ challenge is to capture the data, read/write data and perform high speed calculations. These tasks require fast database interaction.

From history we learn that choosing the correct wave of change determines the correct path, but when to let go of history and embrace and become the change……..smile. Fun stuff $900 mill ouch but Microsoft shed $30 billion in value after its stock tumbled 10 percent I think Blackberry is on the same wrong wave trying to put band aids on their history.

Batteries will never disappear, and for some applications they'll remain a necessity. But from a design, environmental, and reliability standpoint, energy harvesting is the technology with a future. With sensor networks growing to the Internet of Things, where billions of small devices get connected, this will become even truer

At Haystack Connect 2013, George Thomas, President, of Contemporary Controls presented Embedded Linux - a Standardized Platform for IP Applications which highlighted the next wave of hardware advances that are transforming price points, system architectures and redefining "the possible".
