	Smartdust - Lostpedia
		Smartdust is a word that first appeared on the bigspaceship1 website on the 19th January 2006 after the airing of the episode The 23rd Psalm.
		It is believed that smartdust is a reference to the fl smoke monster that Mr.
		In theory, smartdust would hover by default, as the particles are small enough for their own magnetic field to move them against gravity.

	What is Smart Dust?
		Smartdust is a term used to describe groups of very small robots which may be used for monitoring and detection.
		Currently, the scale of smartdust is rather small, with single sensors the size of a deck of playing cards, but the hope is to eventually have robots as small as a speck of dust.
		Development of smartdust continues at a breakneck speed, and it will no doubt soon be commonplace to have a vast army of thousands or millions of nearly invisible sensors monitoring our environment to ensure our safety and the efficiency of the machines around us.

	Smartdust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The devices, or motes, are intended to be the size of a grain of sand, or even a dust particle.
		The smartdust concept was introduced by Kristofer Pister (University of California) in 2001
		A typical application scenario is scattering a hundred of these sensors around a building or around a hospital to monitor temperature or humidity, track patient movements, or inform of disasters, such as earthquakes.

		SmartDust are tiny electronic particles which are connected together electronically using those nodes or motes.
		I propose that the SmartDust be sprinkled onto the surface the you intend to use for the virtual keyboard to put the data into the device.
		The SmartDust will also need to have a certain Ionic bonding electronic charges with the surface you are using and repel itself from any attempt to stick to your fingers.

		Smartdust) using nano-technology techniques thus broadening the current scope of possible applications in transport.
		The aim of this research is to identify the possible development pathways of Smartdust technologies over the next 30 years and the potential application areas of these technologies in transport.
		This will be achieved by a combination of informed forward-thinking and an on-road proof of concept trial using vehicles and roadside infrastructure equipped with Smartdust technology.

		Nov 23 2003, 08:37 PM A new technology with impressive military applications, developed with funding from the Pentagon, is to be put to more scholarly use: to collect data for the conservation of the painted caves of Dunhuang in Gansu Province, China.
		The current prototype is the size of a matchbox, but the final version will resemble a grain of rice.The military applications of Smartdust include the tracking of tank movements by dropping motes from the air onto enemy territory.Smartdust is being developed by Professor Steven Glaser at the University of Berkeley, California.
		Meanwhile, Professor Chikaosa Tanimoto at the University of Osaka, Japan is exploring the application of Smartdust at the Mogao caves at Dunhuang.

		SmartDust and TinyOS attempt to reach the extremities of size reduction, as small as a square-millimeter, using inexpensive off-the-shelf hardware components.
		A key to the functionality of SmartDust is preserving energy.
		Smartdust strives to show that a complete sensor network can be integrated into a cubic millimeter package.

	Lab Notes: Research from the Berkeley College of Engineering
		Instrumenting buildings with a network of tiny and inexpensive electronic sensors could save the state as much as $7 to $8 billion a year in energy costs while keeping consumers' utility bills in check, estimate UC Berkeley engineers and energy and environmental experts.
		To demonstrate the CITRIS approach to the energy crisis, researchers and graduate students installed fifty matchbox-size "Smartdust Motes" throughout Cory Hall, which houses the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences.
		Smartdust Motes will be sprinkled throughout other campus buildings as well to improve the efficiency of the University's energy consumption.

	Ghost of a flea: Smartdust
		A technology designed with military applications in mind is to be used to monitor the deterioration of Tang dynasty Magao cave paintings at Dunhuang.
		Smartdust is a collective term for tiny mobile computers with attached sensors and radio transmitters, known individually as motes.
		Unlike conventional sensors, motes can communicate with each other by radio and exchange information about their location and environment.
