Cygnus 1 Ex is safe for use in Explosive Dust Environments
Posted: 2025-3-27Dust explosions are often catastrophic, causing irreversible damage and sadly, human fatalities. When an ignition source, such as electrical or thermal equipment, enters a space where there is a high concentration of dust in the air, typically in a confined building or vessel, extreme heat increases pressure in the space and causes an explosion. In such an environment, you’d likely notice very low visibility, much like being in a dense fog. But these situations are not uncommon. In fact, records show that a...Read More.

Considerations in AI - Unsupervised Machine Leaning Is Error Prone?
Posted: 2025-3-19Unsupervised learning has become an essential building block of artifical intelligence systems. The representations it produces, for example, in foundation models, are critical to a wide variety of downstream applications. It is therefore important to carefully examine unsupervised models to ensure not only that they produce accurate predictions on the available data but also that these accurate predictions do not arise from a Clever Hans (CH) effect. Here, using specially developed explainable artifical in...Read More.

AI-Powered Drone Swarms for Industrial Wind Turbine Inspection
Posted: 2025-3-19A research team from the University of Klagenfurt is collaborating with industry partner AIR6 SYSTEMS on the FFG-funded DORBINE project to create a novel technology that employs artificial intelligence to manage swarms of drones that monitor wind turbines while in operation.
Traditionally, to check wind turbines for damage, they must be turned off. This indicates that these wind turbines are not producing any energy during the shutdown time. Moreover, wind turbine inspections are typically expensiv...Read More.
