		<description><![CDATA[As far as I am aware, off-the-shelf batteries are not designed for long lifetime use, in the order of years. Yet they are being used for long term deployment in WSN. I&#8217;ve seen theoretical projections of how long low power wireless motes can last. But there still seems to be an unknown quantity on the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More standardisation activities, this time to set sensor net standard for process control. Having a big say on how wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can be used in a practical way at the moment, several industries from the automation and control sectors are trying to muscle in their own standards for WSNs. Notably the 30,000-member ISA [...]]]></description>

Assuming that they can all live up to their expectations, providing the network stack that allows wirelss sensor motes to be easily organised into a network fit for deployment, we will be seeing a host of software applications to be developed for wireless sensor networks this year.

		<description><![CDATA[open-ZB is an open source implementation of the IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee protocols. Apparently the website has been around for over a year, but not sure how long the implementation has been made available. It doesn&#8217;t seem like there&#8217;s a sizeable community using it, so if you are thinking of using the code, don&#8217;t expect to receive [...]]]></description>

Sometimes I would give the researchers the benefit of the doubt when I come across some bizarre piece of research which I don&#8217;t claim expertise in.

		<description><![CDATA[There was a short article in the October IET magazine about using a small ZigBee sensor the size of a hearing aid to collect and transmit data from the human body. I suspect that hearing-aid-size sensor, which is &#8220;inspired by the semicircular canals of the inner ear responsible for controlling motion and balance&#8221;, is probably [...]]]></description>
