Localization using Angle-of-Arrival Triangulation
Indoor localization is a long-standing challenge in mobile computing, with significant implications for enabling location-aware and intelligent applications within smart environments such as homes, offices, and retail spaces. As AI assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Nest become increasingly pervasive, microphone-equipped devices are emerging as key components of everyday life and home automation. This paper introduces a passive, infrastructure-light system for localizing human speakers …

Zu trocken: Störche werfen Nachwuchs aus dem Nest
Wegen der anhaltenden Trockenheit in diesem Frühjahr finden einige Weißstörche nicht genug Futter für ihren Nachwuchs. Die Konsequenz: Sie reduzieren die Zahl der Küken und werfen welche aus dem Horst – um das Überleben der anderen zu sichern.

I first read "Mother Earth, Mother Board" by Neal Stephenson around 15 years ago. It included a visit to the Telegraph Museum (now PK Porthcurno Museum of Global Communications) at Porthcurno in Cornwall, and I finally got to go there. One of the things that Stephenson describes is a collection of faulty cables. And its still on display.

Hey, #UK government: you should really send an aircraft carrier group to clear out that nest of pirates in the Eastern Mediterranean.

So, there’s a bumblebee nest next to our door. And I‘m chilling on the patio watching a bumblebee buzz in, watching a bumblebee buzz out. It’s got the trajectory figured out perfectly. And I‘m like…

Linear Layouts of Graphs with Priority Queues
A linear layout of a graph consists of a linear ordering of its vertices and a partition of its edges into pages such that the edges assigned to the same page obey some constraint. The two most prominent and widely studied types of linear layouts are stack and queue layouts, in which any two edges assigned to the same page are forbidden to cross and nest, respectively. The names of these two layouts derive from the fact that, when parsing the graph according to the linear vertex ordering, the e…
