Python stands as the preferred language for data science, thanks to its user-friendly syntax and a robust ecosystem that effortlessly accommodates a variety of data types and workloads, such as relational/tabular data, tensors, and graphs. While Python thrives in smaller data settings, it struggles to scale in distributed big data environments. MOKO is an IR-based execution framework designed to extend Python's reach into the distributed big data domain by generating code that can utilize existing systems such as Spark, Dask, Torch, and GRAPE. MOKO preserves Python's key features-interoperability, ease of use, and support for multi-model data types and workloads-while enabling efficient execution in a distributed setting. Our evaluation indicates that MOKO can accelerate Python applications by up to 11x across diverse systems, diminish data alignment overhead by 28x, and outperform hand-optimized solutions by 2.5x.

Insects comprise the majority of species on earth, but their population is facing a rapid decline. Many studies have highlighted the impact of excessive use of fertilizers and the effect of continuous change in farm practices on pollinator's biodiversity. To preserve their biodiversity, 24x7 monitoring of flying insects on farmland is essential. Manual observation-based traditional monitoring techniques are ineffective, time-consuming and not applicable for real-time field monitoring. To overcome these limitations, an idea is to develop a network of digital sensors on farmland for effective monitoring of biodiversity. This paper proposes the development of a Digital Entomology (DE) sensor for biodiversity surveillance at a large scale. The sensor monitors the real-time movement of airborne insects along with environmental data and processes it on the cloud for subsequent analysis. The proposed DE sensor is a solar-powered and IoT-enabled processor device suitable for deployment at remote locations. The local management of the sensor is facilitated through the Device Manager Portal (DMP) for accessing device configurations and enabling data downloads via a local Wi-Fi hotspot. The inclusion of over-the-air updates (OTA) capability enables the management and updates of sensors from a location that can be far away from where it is deployed. The proposed DE precisely detects the pollinator's movement with a high accuracy during testing in farmlands which makes it superior to other existing systems available in the market.

The use of plastic optical fibers as sensors represents advantages due to the malleability of the material and the number of modulations it allows, in addition, its a flexibility and low-cost material. Currently, optical couplers have also been developed in plastic fiber optics, due to their main use in telecommunications, and prices are increasingly affordable. In addition, the use of technologies in optics and photonics are more accepted in areas such as medicine, industry, beauty, sensors, and more. (1) In this work, a force sensor is achieved, based on beam modulation, made of a 2x2 (50:50) coupler of 1mm diameter plastic optical fiber (POF), with a 10 cm POF joined to the output to generate a loop. This section was polished in D, V and cylindrical shapes, at 30% and 50% polished depth, using a visible spectrum, in 632.8 nm of an He-Ne laser source. The spectral response is obtained in a force range of 0-500 N which is gradually applied to the fiber polished section. A linear sensitivity of force-beam modulation is obtained.

Wireless sensor nodes are usually powered by batteries that have limited energy capacity. In many applications, the nodes are installed in inaccessible locations where they are problematic to replace or recharge. Therefore, energy optimization is crucial for increasing the node's lifetime. This study presents a method for the analysis and prediction of the energy consumption of Sigfox-based wireless sensor nodes. The method is illustrated in a use case where the nodes monitor the water level in drainage lines in cities to improve surface and wastewater management. We propose a formal model-based technique using the UPPAAL statistical model checker tool to model and analyze the node's lifetime. Statistical model checking (SMC) provides a highly scalable technique for the performance analysis of complex cyber-physical systems. The model captures the energy-related behavior of the node, the Sigfox radio specification, and the sensor, each parameterized with values from the device's datasheets. Furthermore, we calibrate the model using measurements obtained from real-world hardware. Finally, we evaluate a collection of strategies to optimize the battery lifetime of the node. We simulate the model with a 10000-mAh battery, and the results indicate that we can extend the node's lifetime from 202 days to 2.71 years using our most optimized transmission strategy.

There are over 300 million severely visually impaired people worldwide, and in their constant struggle for independence, there is a pressing need for advanced Electronic Travel Aid (ETA) products. The FireFly wearable ETA device presented here enhances mobility and safety for visually impaired individuals. The design fuses an 8x8 pixel Grid-EYE thermal imaging sensor to differentiate different objects based on their thermal signatures and a Time-of-Flight (ToF) LiDAR sensor for detecting distances. FireFly provides real-time feedback through acoustic, vibration, and light alerts, which vary in frequencies and amplitudes depending on the proximity and type of detected object. Its open architecture allows for easy integration into various wearable devices, ensuring application versatility. Experimental validation quantified the system's ability for object detection and human identification. Future improvements will focus on increasing system speed and thermal sensitivity and implementing machine learning algorithms for better object classification. FireFly aims to offer a reliable, low-power solution that promotes independence and safety for visually impaired individuals.

In-sensor computing, which integrates sensing, memory and processing functions, has shown substantial potential in artificial vision systems. However, large-scale monolithic integration of in-sensor computing based on emerging devices with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuits remains challenging, lacking functional demonstrations at the hardware level. Here we report a fully integrated 1-kb array with 128 x 8 one-transistor one-optoelectronic memristor (OEM) cells and silicon CMOS circuits, which features configurable multi-mode functionality encompassing three different modes of electronic memristor, dynamic OEM and non-volatile OEM (NV-OEM). These modes are configured by modulating the charge density within the oxygen vacancies via synergistic optical and electrical operations, as confirmed by differential phase-contrast scanning transmission electron microscopy. Using this OEM system, three visual processing tasks are demonstrated: image sensory pre-processing with a recognition accuracy enhanced from 85.7% to 96.1% by the NV-OEM mode, more advanced object tracking with 96.1% accuracy using both dynamic OEM and NV-OEM modes and human motion recognition with a fully OEM-based in-sensor reservoir computing system achieving 91.2% accuracy. A system-level benchmark further shows that it consumes over 20 times less energy than graphics processing units. By monolithically integrating the multi-functional OEMs with Si CMOS, this work provides a cost-effective platform for diverse in-sensor computing applications. This study reports a fully integrated 128 x 8 optoelectronic memristor array with Si complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor circuits, featuring configurable multi-mode functionality. It demonstrates diversified in-sensor computing tasks and consumes 20 times less energy than GPUs.
