=> ↺ Detecting and tracking worker falls with embedded ML | Arduino Blog
Certain industries rely on workers being able to reach high spaces through the use of ladders or mobile standing platforms. And because of their potential danger if a fall were to occur, Roni Bandini had the idea to create an integrated system that can detect a fall and report it automatically across a wide variety of scenarios.
A fall can be sensed by measuring changes in acceleration; therefore, Bandini went with an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense board due to its built-in three-axis accelerometer. It also supports low-power consumption, meaning that a LiPo battery and accompanying TP4056 charging module could be added for completely wireless operation. Acceleration data was collected by taking several samples within the Edge Impulse Studio and labeling them either “fall” or “stand” when no movement is present. Once tested, the resulting model was integrated into an Arduino sketch, which emits a Bluetooth® advertising packet whenever a fall is detected.
=> ↺ GSoC Final Report - Maíra Canal
My journey on the Google Summer of Code project passed by so fast… This is my last week on the GSoC and those 14 weeks flew by! A lot of stuff happened during those three months, and as I’m writing this blog post, I feel quite nostalgic about this three months.
Before I started GSoC, I never thought I would send so many patches to the mailing list, have an abstract approved on XDC 2022, or have commit rights on drm-misc.
GSoC was indeed a fantastic experience. It gave me the opportunity to grow as a developer in an open source community and I believe that I ended up GSoC with a better understanding of what open source is. I learned more about the community, how to communicate with them, and who are the actors in this workflow.
=> ↺ PostgreSQL: CloudNativePG 1.17.0, 1.16.2 and 1.15.4 Released!
The CloudNativePG Community has announced version 1.17.0, a new minor release of the CloudNativePG Operator, which introduces the possibility to create a new PostgreSQL cluster with a dedicated volume for Write-Ahead Log (WAL) files. Separating I/O workloads of database (PGDATA) and WAL files improves vertical scalability of PostgreSQL clusters, among the others.
In this version, a new command, destroy, has been added to the cnpg plugin for kubectl to help remove an instance and the associated persistent volume claims from an existing cluster.
Two new labels, cnpg.io/instanceName and cnpg.io/podRole, are now managed by the operator on all persistent volume claims that belong to a cluster.
Some minor bugs have been fixed, in particular in the in-place operator upgrade process.
New patch releases are available for all the supported versions, including 1.16.2 and 1.15.4.
