Bridding OT and PaaS in Edge-to-Cloud Continuum
The Operational Technology Platform as a Service (OTPaaS) initiative provides a structured framework for the efficient management and storage of data. It ensures excellent response times while improving security, reliability, data and technology sovereignty, robustness, and energy efficiency, which are crucial for industrial transformation and data sovereignty. This paper illustrates successful deployment, adaptable application management, and various integration components catering to Edge and…

Time and Frequency Synchronization for Multiuser OTFS in Uplink
In this paper, we propose time and frequency synchronization techniques for uplink multiuser OTFS (MU-OTFS) systems in high-mobility scenarios. This work focuses on accurately estimating and correcting timing offsets (TOs) and carrier frequency offsets (CFOs). Specifically, TO estimation is essential for locating users' pilots on the delay-time plane, while CFO estimation enhances channel estimation accuracy. First, we propose a TO estimation technique for an existing multiuser pilot structure …

A Framework for Quantum Advantage
As quantum computing approaches the threshold where certain tasks demonstrably outpace their classical machines, the need for a precise, clear, consensus-driven definition of quantum advantage becomes essential. Rapid progress in the field has blurred this term across companies, architectures, and application domains. Here, we aim to articulate an operational definition for quantum advantage that is both platform-agnostic and empirically verifiable. Building on this framework, we highlight the …

#Transit growth outpaces driving growth in Metro #Vancouver
More people in Metro Vancouver are choosing transit over driving as their primary option to get around, according to new data from TransLink. In 2024, there were 7.7 million more trips on transit, an increase of more than three per cent over 2023, o…

Two-Stage Prony-Based Estimation of Fractional Delay and Doppler Shifts in OTFS Modulation
This paper addresses the estimation of fractional delay and Doppler shifts in multipath channels that cause doubly selective fading-an essential task for integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems in high-mobility environments. Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) modulation enables simple and robust channel compensation under such conditions. However, fractional delay and Doppler components introduce inter-path interference, degrading estimation accuracy. We propose a two-stage esti…

Hands-On: How Apple’s New Speech APIs Outpace Whisper for Lightning-Fast Transcription
Late last Tuesday night, after watching F1: The Movie at the Steve Jobs Theater, I was driving back from dropping Federico off at his hotel when I got a text: Can you pick me up? It was from my son Finn, who had spent the evening nearby and was stalking me in Find My. Of

Fast and Scalable Gene Embedding Search: A Comparative Study of FAISS and ScaNN
The exponential growth of DNA sequencing data has outpaced traditional heuristic-based methods, which struggle to scale effectively. Efficient computational approaches are urgently needed to support large-scale similarity search, a foundational task in bioinformatics for detecting homology, functional similarity, and novelty among genomic and proteomic sequences. Although tools like BLAST have been widely used and remain effective in many scenarios, they suffer from limitations such as high com…
