A new system to assess the structural health of bridges using AI and an array of sensors is being developed by a team at the University of Texas at Arlington. Modern bridges are typically built with weight-in-motion systems including sensors that measure vibrations, strain and deflection. By measuring the bridge’s response to these elements, they … Read more

Current in-vehicle Electrical and Electronic network architectures are complex, costly, and totally inadequate to address the needs of tomorrow. The question is not if they will change but when and how? EE architectures need to be more intelligent, flexible and connected; in-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure, vehicle-to-cloud (often referred as V2X). Networking across all industries, whether … Read more
A team at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia developed the prototype which they say can electronically replicate the way human skin senses pain. The device mimics the body’s near-instant feedback response and can react to painful sensations with the same lighting speed that nerve signals travel to the brain. Lead researcher Professor Madhu Bhaskaran said … Read more
Before you use a variable in java, you must declare it, specifying its data type. The int types is only one kind of simple variable you can use. mentioned here are the various possibilities. Integer – these types are byte, short, int and long, which hold signed, whole-value numbers. Floating-point numbers – these types are … Read more
when you are writing java code, you should know that java reserves certain words for itself as part of the java language. There aren`t too many of them, though.

Java supports three types of comments, two of which are taken from C++. you can surround a comment of any length with the characters “/*’ and “*/”, like this: /* This application prints out “Linux” */ public class abc { public static void main(string[] args) { system.out.println(“Linux”); } } The java compiler will ignore all … Read more
The main method has one line of code in it: public class name { public static void main(String[] args) System.out.println(“linux”);} } This is the actual line of code that does all the work. In this case, we are using some of the code that the programmers at sun have already created to display the text … Read more
