AWARD FOR FLOW AIR POLLUTION MONITOR
Plume Labs has unveiled the first smart mobile air quality tracker that helps monitor air pollution - ‘Flow’. With the device, users can track all major pollutants that cause harm to their health, and act to avoid them with real-time updates from its companion app. Flow was recently announced as an Innovation Awards
Honoree at CES 2017 in the ‘Tech for a Better World’ category. The device was recognised for its engineering qualities, aesthetic and global community impact.
Explaining more about the device, Romain Lacombe, CEO and co-founder of Plume Labs, said: “After two years of work, we’re very proud to introduce Flow and its potential to help people avoid air pollution, and are honoured by this award and the support of our globally renowned partners. At a time when the dramatic health impact of unclean air is becoming ever more clear, we are confident that our product will help a wide community of users around the world enhance their environmental health, and help us all tackle the urban air pollution crisis.”

Linear Technology’s SmartMesh IP wireless sensor network (WSN) product line has expanded to address the growing needs of industrial Internet of Things (IoT) applications. New capabilities include the SmartMesh VManager networking software, which increases the mesh network capacity to thousands of nodes. The new Blink mode, an ultralow power roaming node capability, reduces average current consumption of wireless sensor nodes. SmartMesh IP allows for secure deployment of battery-operated IoT sensors
in harsh environments with more than 10 years of battery life. Joy Weiss, Linear Technology, commented: “We have tailored our WSN
product so that customers can address the widest range of indoor, outdoor, local and cloud-based IoT applications while maintaining our hallmarks of wire-like reliability, industrial security and ultralow power.”

THERMAL IMAGING HELPS CONSERVE BATS
Flir Systems’ T1030sc thermal imaging camera is helping bat conservation and research efforts. Bats play a major role in our ecosystem, but due to numerous threats bat populations have declined significantly over the years. Flir thermal imaging technology is now playing a key role in helping experts understand and conserve bat populations in the UK. The T1030sc is a portable, high-speed, high definition thermal
imaging and measurement camera. It is designed for researchers and scientists who need high resolution and sensitivity in a flexible, battery powered handheld package. Drawing upon 50 years of experience, this camera records full 1024 x 768 resolution images at 30 frames per second. The T1030sc lets users capture lossless HD radiometric imagery at up to 120 Hz which can be viewed, acquired, analysed and shared in Flir ResearchIR Max or MathWorks’ Matlab.

Libelium has developed a wireless sensor network in the Masaya volcano in Nicaragua to help predict eruptions. The company’s Waspmote Sensor Platforms were installed next to the crater to get CO2
, H2 S, temperature,
humidity and atmospheric pressure data in one of the most extreme and challenging environments.

Lakeshore Environmental has chosen a handheld, entry-level TigerLT photoionisation detector (PID) from Ion Science for humidity resistance. The company is using the volatile organic compound (VOC) monitor to screen soil and indoor air, and to measure influent and effluent concentrations in soil vapour extraction systems. David Hazebrouck, Lakeshore
Environmental, commented on the instrument: “So far, it is proving easy to use, reliable and accurate.”
