Personal soil microbial test delivers colony counts of specific microbes capable of releasing soil nutrients and minerals in a way that is easy to decipher.    The nation's leading personal soil biology company, EcoBiome Innovation Center, LLC, has launched MyEcoBiome. It is an original personal soil microbial test that will provide colony counts of specific microbes that are capable of releasing soil nutrients and minerals in a format that is easy-to-read and interpret. The microbial soil test provides customers with an objective measurement of the unique microbial profiles in their soil, water, and other ecological samples. There are microorganisms responsible for releasing every nutrient and mineral in the soil. The analysis required to measure, interpret, and solve soil health issues adequately has been limited to chemical nutrient tests. Such chemical tests are essential, but they are only half the solution. Every person will have the opportunity with MyEcoBiome to know their soil cultures in a way that will be easy-to-understand. EcoBiome is an innovative and patent-pending testing platform, supporting and promoting the discovery, identification, and selection of unseen microorganisms in the environment. MyEcoBiome's initial market segments consist of residential homeowners and commercial users in agriculture, turf, and specialty crops. Its further contributions will be in petroleum and wastewater microbiology. MyEcoBiome is an innovative platform that offers individuals a new way to look at their environment and soil through its unique microbial profile. MyEcoBiome has the potential to solve fundamental soil health and plant nutritional issues as well. The EcoBiome Innovation Center is an innovative environmental microbiology testing lab, utilizing its patent-pending EcoBiome Technology Platform to isolate and characterize each microorganism from environmental samples. The company works intimately with its clients to define their sample to optimize soil health, sustainability, and crop production. The EcoBiome Innovation Center welcomes the opportunity to apply its proprietary technology to detect, isolate, and define the microbial population within an environmental sample, providing valuable information and data about its essential microbial profile.    Check This Out:  Top BioTech Startups ...Read more

Profound Positioning Inc. offers its Instant Vehicle Tracking service to automobile manufacturers, integrators, and solution providers. Profound Positioning Inc., the world's leading navigation and positioning software provider, is revolutionizing the market with its Instant Vehicle Tracking (IVT) technology. Profound Positioning Inc. provides constant decimeter-level accuracy with advanced multi-sensor fusion and is the only cost-effective solution that delivers the performance required for safer, more efficient driving everywhere vehicles go. “Our vision is to be the leading provider of affordable, continuous, reliable, and accurate navigation solutions,” says Dr. Naser El-Shiemy, CEO of Profound Positioning Inc. “We are able to achieve navigation everywhere, with dollar-level sensors. This is truly a game-changer.” Instant Vehicle Tracking, developed by Profound Positioning Inc., integrates the benefits of Precise Point Positioning (PPP) GNSS, inertial, and radar technologies to deliver unequaled precision and continuous accuracy at a meager cost. Additionally, it is highly adaptable, making it ideal for integration with various navigation sensors, communication links, and databases. Vehicle navigation requires constant decimeter-level resolution regardless of the vehicle's location or the weather conditions. The following factors contribute to achieving this performance: poor continuity due to weather conditions, satellite and base station obstruction, or a lack of base station infrastructure; errors in GNSS data and poor integration between GNSS and dead reckoning or other sensor systems; high cost, or affordable sensors with poor performance; and slow resolution with lag time for corrections and sensing. With a thorough understanding of both industry expectations and the technology required to meet them, Profound Positioning Inc. built its Instant Vehicle Tracking system to address all of these concerns and provide the most accurate, cost-effective, and time-efficient solution possible. Based on a firmware library and rapidly adaptable to any navigation platform, IVT integrates PPP, DR, and radar technologies to provide decimeter-level positioning accuracy, as well as orientation and velocity, in a global solution that performs in tunnels, dense urban environments, multi-level highway junctions, and even parkades. Resolution is speedy, with inaccuracies of less than 1 percent of the distance traveled. No base stations are required, and the operational range is unrestricted. Driver assistance, mobility and taxi, autonomous cars, geofencing, fleet monitoring, insurance, driving and safety management, and linked driving are all examples of vehicle uses for Instant Vehicle Tracking. ...Read more

Smart sensors - sensors with artificial intelligence built-in – will improve, eliminating the requirement for data to be routed to the cloud or centralized servers for processing before being acted on. In recent decades, robots have transformed the manufacturing and industrial worlds, and they are now making inroads into the broader world of business, as well as our homes. Apart from robotic vacuum cleaners, the concept of home aid robots has taken a long time to catch on. The apparent uses range from robotic companions for the elderly to robots that feed, play with, and care for pets while their owners are away. Here are three robotics trends: Co-bots Collaborative robots, also known as cobots, are the nice face of workplace automation. They aren’t here to take our jobs, but rather to work alongside us, offering timely advice or just mechanical muscle when we need it. In addition, businesses will recognize that putting robots in areas that are dangerous or inhospitable to people can boost efficiency as robotic technology becomes more common and deployment costs fall. Smart sensors Building sensors into the extremities of automated systems, where machines encounter the real-world environments they are meant to impact, made robots perfect platforms for edge computing. Smart sensors - sensors with artificial intelligence built-in – will improve, eliminating the requirement for data to be routed to the cloud or centralized servers for processing before being acted on. Delivery robots Robotic delivery devices are widely expected to tackle the “last mile” problem that plagues delivery operations - the most costly part of the delivery process, where a large number of small, individually packaged products must be precisely targeted to arrive on time and in good condition.
