Sensors application scenario

Taking into account a required heading accuracy of 1° (see [13]), one can state that the MEMS IMU could serve as a backup sensor for the heading determination for a time period of lOmin. In order to bridge possible outages of the GNSS Compass, this time period is for most of the application scenarios clearly sufficient. 

Nanocomposites are multiphased materials with at least one phase in the nanometer range. The mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical and electrochemical properties of nanocomposites are different from that of component materials. Nanocomposites have potential applications in almost every field of the modern day scenario. They play a key role in tailoring properties to suit any technology and have potential applications like light-emitting diodes, photodiodes, photovoltaic cells, smart microelectronic devices, gas sensors, etc. 

Consider, for example, a scenario where an adversary launches a denial-of-service attack against a defended computer system. The attack produces deviations in application control flow, network traffic, and CPU utilization. Automated analyzers study observations (gained from the suite of cyber sensors) and notice that the deviations are indicative of an attack. The analyzers subsequently publish this intelligence to the relevant decision mediators. The decision mediators survey the analyses and guesses which information will be most useful to the decision maker. In this example, the decision mediator forms a belief that the analysis of CPU utilization will be most useful to its decision maker. The decision mediator then presents an abridged form of the analyses to the decision maker, emphasizing the importance of the CPU-utilization analysis. In addition, the mediator also presents a set of suggested responses to the decision maker. 

Other scenarios might include stationary stations for monitoring, with permanently installed units of highly sensitive devices. In this case, high-cost gas sensors needing expensive recalibration may be acceptable. Thus, in real-world applications, the qualities of an ideal gas sensor are often weighted differently according to the application (Potyrailo and Mirsky 2008).
