Part of the ERC mandate is to converge a wide range of academic disciplines in tackling challenges; another is to develop a diverse and inclusive workforce from across the United States. By partnering with industry and a broad community of students, faculty and professionals, the IoT4Ag Center will create an innovation ecosystem to continue these efforts into the coming decades.

The West, Midwest and East Coast are all represented in IoT4Ag, with collaboration nodes and education and research sites across the country, providing limitless opportunities for students, entrepreneurs and other stakeholders.

The IoT4Ag Center is divided into three integrated thrusts, with teams of researchers working on sensing, communication and response technologies.

IoT4Ag is housed in the School of Engineering, but the UC Merced branch, in the communication thrust, will include many others: the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS), UC Water, drone and energy researchers, management of complex systems experts, socio-economists and big-data analysts, as well as the community, region and state.

We want to include everyone who has a perspective on engineering ag, from farmers, farm workers and the children of farm workers among our student body to government and industry partners, Keske said. Like the rest of the team members, Keske will wear several hats as the initiative gets underway.

Shes responsible for diversity and inclusion, and said shes looking to hold focus groups, ask farmers and commodity groups to be on the advisory board for IoT4Ag at UC Merced and visit field sites to survey farm workers, as well.

We want everyone to have a voice in this, Keske said.

Penn has also allocated a considerable part the ERC budget for travel and programs to train students, Keske said. The IoT4Ag plan calls for involving pre-college, community college and university students through audience-specific lessons and hands-on classroom, lab and field work; advising and mentoring; and a variety of social and professional activities to prepare a diverse workforce of the future to address the societal grand challenges of food, energy and water security.

The worlds finite land, water and energy resources demand new technologies and innovations to improve the efficiency and sustainability of all types of food production.

We can create the tech and infrastructure that will help farmers manage their crops down to the finest details of water and soil nutrients, Keske said. Digital technologies have the potential to improve efficiency, equity, safety, nutrition, health and sustainability across the worlds food systems.

New Engineering Research Center to Focus on Agriculture Technology | Newsroom - UC Merced University News

Mentor-guided online training platform Springboard has raised $31 million in a series B round of funding led by Telstra Ventures.

The raise comes amid surging demand for online learning, with Udemy recently reporting that course enrollment had risen 425% during the pandemic lockdown and Udacity disclosing that its annual recurring revenue (ARR) had grown 260% for the first half of 2020. Founded in 2013, San Francisco-based Springboard aims to plug the technology talent gap, offering a range of courses across coding, analytics, design, data science, and AI.

Prices vary, but the Data Analytics Career Track costs $5,500 when paid up front and offers students around 400 hours of coursework that must be completed within six months. It also comes with a job guarantee. There are also monthly payment plans or the option to defer tuition until the graduate starts a new job. As another example, the UI/UX design course costs around $10,000 when paid up front.

Above: Springboard platform

Traditional universities and online education platforms have often been criticized for not equipping students with the skills needed to thrive in the workforce, something Springboard specifically targets. Its data analytics program, for instance, was designed in partnership with Microsoft after the duo announced a tie-up last December as part of Springboards $11 million series A round. The program aims to train 5,000 students for analytics jobs in the coming years and includes important non-technical skills such as problem-solving, communication, and strategic thinking.

Every Springboard student is allocated a personal mentor, who works in a field related to the course and provides one-on-one feedback each week. Mentors hail from companies such as Oracle, Amazon, Uber, and Airbnb. This program is one of Springboards major selling points, as its links with technology companies have led to job offers from the likes of Google, Microsoft, Facebook, IBM, Zoom, and Verizon.

And while many companies have had to pivot their business models to support social distancing during the pandemic, Springboard has always facilitated remote education, which puts it in a strong position to capitalize on the new normal.

Springboard had previously raised around $22 million, and with another $31 million in the bank its well-financed to double down on student employability by creating stronger partnerships with employers and building new products to help students enter the workforce.

With this new capital, we see an opportunity to double down on our industry-leading human-centric approach to delivering career outcomes [to] not only better support our learners, but also partner with universities and employers, enabling them to navigate this online-first economic reality, Springboard cofounder and CEO Gautam Tambay told VentureBeat.

Among the new products is a hireability forecaster, which offers an early indication of how likely a student will be to find a job based on the progress theyre making. This feature is already being offered to prospective students. Additionally, Springboard is developing a student-job fit recommender, which it touts as an AI-driven job matching tool that automatically recommends open roles at Springboards partner companies based on each students background and skill set.

Springboard is also developing a new tool called Springboard introductions, a browser plugin designed to give students targeted introductions and job referrals from its community of mentors and alumni. For example, if someone is applying for a job through LinkedIn, Springboard could surface individuals already working at the company to provide a referral.

Above: Springboards new Introductions browser plugin

Both the recommender and introductions products are currently in development and are expected to launch around mid-September.

Tambay said Springboard saw 54% growth in student enrollment between March and June of this year, a figure that rises to 352% when comparing the year-on-year figures of June 2019 and June 2020. These are the kinds of numbers that attract investors. In addition to increased student demand, we are also seeing a ton of inbound investor interest in our space, Tambay added.

The surge in demand for remote learning and upskilling platforms has kicked countless VC investors into action, with Coursera recently securing another $130 million at a $2.5 billion valuation and Indias Toppr locking down $46 million. That Springboard has managed to raise a sizable round less than nine months after its previous raise underscores investors interest in remote learning as people scramble to train for in-demand industry roles.

Springboard raises $31 million to retool the technology workforce - VentureBeat

In a time of social distancing and contactless encounters, businesses are turning to technology to adapt.

Kimbal Musk, CEO and co-founder of The Kitchen Restaurant Group, had closed his restaurants for months after the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the United States. Now, as they begin to reopen -- he said about half have done so already -- guests will be having a completely reinvented, contactless dining experience, via a new app called Next Door On Demand.

The app, named for one of his restaurants in Boulder, Colorado, allows restaurant-goers to have a nearly contactless experience with the ability to order and pay via their smartphones.

I've always loved the idea of ordering from your iPhone and I've been thinking about it for years, Musk told ABC Newss Rebecca Jarvis on Nightline. When COVID hit and I dealt with the question of safety for our team, I thought to myself, Well, this is a time to build it.

Building the app during the COVID-19 pandemic presented its own challenges. Musk worked with a team of software designers from around the world, mostly through the videoconferencing platform Zoom, to develop the technology.

It was actually awesome. We were trying to figure out time zones, to figure out who'd have to stay up the latest. But it was fun. I mean, we had fun doing it and knowing that we didn't have any else to do. So let's innovate. Musk said.

Hes not alone in that innovation. With millions of Americans out of work and new COVID-19 cases rising in 15 states, more and more businesses are betting on technology to encourage employees and customers to return, changing everything from the way people work to the way they live and communicate.

There is definitely a lot of, to put it lightly, a lot of changes happening all around us and specifically when we look at technology...there is certainly going to be a lot of change in innovation, resetting the industries that were affected negatively. Christine Tsai, CEO and founding partner of venture capital firm 500 Startups, told Nightline."

Doctors, for example, have been adapting to telemedicine, according to Christine Tsai, CEO and founding partner of venture capital firm 500 Startups.

Doctors, for example, have been adapting to telemedicine, according to Christine Tsai, CEO and founding partner of venture capital firm 500 Startups.

But as innovation solves the most pressing problems today, it begs the question of whether it will also create problems for the future. Musk says the hardest part of creating the app was considering the user experience at a restaurant.

We want our guests to feel that they are connected to people. Restaurants are about restoring yourself and going in and meeting, connecting with a server. Getting to know your family or friends or whoever you're with, and so we really wanted to ensure that hospitality stayed in the restaurant experience.

Musk is the younger brother of Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and founder of SpaceX, both for which he serves on the board. The pair was born and raised in South Africa but eventually made their way to Californias Silicon Valley, where they co-founded the software company Zip2, which was later acquired by Compaq in the late 90s. Kimbal Musk says his older brother has always been a sounding board throughout his life.

Kimbal Musk, CEO and co-founder of The Kitchen Restaurant Group, had closed his restaurants for months after the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the United States.

[Elon has] helped me all my life. And in 2008, the car industry essentially collapsed and I helped my brother get through Tesla's survival there. And I'm now I'm getting advice from him on how to get through the restaurant industry Our version of a nuclear bomb just went off in our industry, Kimbal Musk said. How do you get through it? He's a good cheerleader for me.

Kimbal Musk hopes other restaurants will utilize similar technology, and said he plans to scale his new app technology for other independent restaurants that want to make their own app.

We're working with a partnership with a young startup out of Silicon Valley that'll focus entirely on independent restaurants to build technology like this for them in a very cost effective way, said Musk.

Since the pandemic began in March, over 100,000 small businesses have permanently shut down, according to researchers from Harvard Business School. Eighty-five percent of independent restaurants are at risk of closing by the end of the year, according to the Independent Restaurant Association. Many have turned to services like Doordash and Seamless to stay afloat.

Angie Mar, Executive Chef and owner of The Beatrice Inn in New York City, had to completely shift her business model in the midst of the pandemic.

We had to completely do a 180, she recently told Nightline. We pivoted to take out and delivery, which we had never done before Our takeout business is doing well, but, regardless, it's a fraction of the amount of money that we were making before.

Like restaurants, other industries have also been forced to embrace technology. The travel industry, which counts itself among the hardest industries, saw U.S. airline passenger volumes drop 75% compared to this time last year, according to the Transportation Security Administration. Hotels, another crucial aspect of the travel industry, have felt the impact as well.

Earlier this year, Marriott, one of the largest hotel chains in the world, had closed roughly 2,000 of its global locations. Although over 90% of the companys hotels are back open today, during the peak of the pandemic in April, the company saw revenue per room drop 90%.

With New York City in the fourth phase of its reopening plan, the hotel giant is using its Brooklyn Bridge location as an early adopter of its mobile technology. Via the Marriott Bonvoy app guests can check-in, check-out, order room service and toiletries and even open their room with a digital key.

Well, obviously we are in the teeth of the [pandemic] still and we're obviously wrestling with it in different parts of the world, Arne Sorenson, CEO of Marriott, told ABC Newss Rebecca Jarvis on Nightline. So, what we've done quickly is say, Let's make sure we're getting the safety, cleanliness protocols in place that are essential in a time of a pandemic like this, which means more intensive guest room cleaning between guests, social distancing in the public spaces, shields and the like in the public spaces -- probably less food and beverage service.

Well, obviously we are in the teeth of the [pandemic] still and we're obviously wrestling with it in different parts of the world, Arne Sorenson, CEO of Marriott, told Nightline.

As many of these industries implement new technologies to adjust to the new normal, there is still the looming question of whether or not jobs will return. Over 50 million people have filed for unemployment in the last six months and some wonder if technology will replace jobs lost during the pandemic.

As uncertainty continues to surround the trajectory of the virus and the timeline of a potential vaccine, industry experts are cautiously preparing to accept the new normal.

There is no going back to pre-COVID because that doesn't exist, Tsai said. We'll have already gone through this experience of being in this global pandemic and a lot of the challenges in society and technology in these industries are now exposed.

The guests are really happy with On Demand kind of experiences, Musk said. What you dont want to do is turn this into a fast casual experience or a fast food experience. This is not fast food. So, I think balancing that is important. But from a guest convenience and guest happiness perspective, and from a team safety perspective, its pretty hard to imagine going back.

Businesses embrace technology to evolve in a post-pandemic world - ABC News

The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered the launch of a number of innovative research and development projects aimed at integrating smart technology into a wide range of disinfection processes in hopes of mitigating the spread of the virus. HEQ examines the efficacy of some of the innovative technological solutions designed to contribute to infection control efforts.

Disinfection tunnels (DTs), or sanitisation tunnels, were briefly in vogue in China, India and Belgium in the early stages of the pandemic. Portable tunnels constructed from steel and PVC and measuring between 16 and 25 feet long are placed at the entrances to busy public spaces, such as markets, shopping centres, hospitals and business premises; users walk or cycle through the tunnels and are sprayed with a misted solution of sodium hypochlorite, a strong disinfectant. Disinfection tunnels can be static, where users stand in the middle of the tunnel and rotate while the disinfectant is sprayed in their direction, or dynamic, where the users path is sprayed as they move through the tunnel.

The evidence in favour of disinfection tunnels is sparse, however; and a study titled Disinfection tunnels: potentially counterproductive in the context of a prolonged pandemic of COVID-19 and published in the Public Health journal in June found that any asymptomatic patient would remain [infectious] as the virus in the nasopharynx and respiratory tracts remains viable, hence contributing to a false sense of security among individuals. There is no way to test the benefits, other than mental satisfaction, which is just like the confidence wearing a cloth mask provides and thereby enables people to venture out into public places.

The studys authors concluded: DTs are likely to be a wasteful expenditure of scarce resources. The World Health Organization has condemned the use of these sprays and tunnels and has released an advisory. The stress on these systems is not evidence based, unreliable, and flawed. While fighting this global pandemic, there is definitely a light at the end of the tunnel by practicing hand hygiene and social distancing, but not by passing through these DTs.

Disinfection by drone was initially deployed in China to sanitise large, open public spaces when COVID-19 first hit; and has since expanded to Europe and the US. Drones designed for outdoor use can be deployed to spray targeted doses of disinfectant chemicals over large open air facilities, such as parks, stadia, exteriors of hospital buildings and carparks; while smaller drones equipped with ultraviolet disinfection technology can be directed to disinfect indoor spaces including offices, theatres and museums. Many disinfection drones are equipped with Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to enable remote piloting or route programming.

Particularly as more and more members of the public return to work following the easing of lockdown measures, public transport remains a key infection vector, due to its inherent combination of large groups of people in an enclosed space with limited availability of time and resources to complete a full disinfection of each vehicle between journeys. Passenger transport manufacturing firm Irizar has developed smart technology solutions to address the issue of infection control on buses, including a smart access control camera system placed at the front of the bus. The smart camera is equipped with a temperature sensor, enabling it to detect passengers with an elevated body temperature above 37C; and AI programming which allows it to detect whether or not a potential passenger is wearing a face mask, alert the driver with an acoustic signal and indicate to the unmasked passenger that they may not board.

In partnership with the Spanish Ministry of Health, Irizar has also developed an automatic disinfection system for buses and coaches. This system consists of a fixed outlet installed in the vehicles interior, which sprays disinfectant throughout the vehicle through a pneumatic nebuliser system. The disinfection process itself takes between 15 and 30 minutes, but the vehicle cannot then be used for another three to four hours.

KC Technologies, a Chinese smart technology firm, has developed smart helmet headsets capable of detecting people with a fever from up to five metres away and emitting an acoustic alarm when the wearer is in proximity to someone with a heightened temperature. The helmet, which has already been adopted by police officers in the cities of Chengdu, Shanghai and Shenzhen, is similar in appearance to a motorcycle helmet; and according to its developers, enables users to scan the body temperatures of hundreds of people and lock onto those with fever in less than two minutes. In addition to an integrated infrared body temperature sensor, the helmet is equipped with an facial recognition technology, an augmented reality visor enabling the user to view a subjects name and medical history, and a camera capable of scanning QR codes; as well as wifi, Bluetooth and 5G connectivity to facilitate the sharing of data with nearby hospitals.

Inspired during the COVID-19 lockdown to create the safest, most innovative, and most beautiful mask ever, Italian startup CLIU has developed a reusable face mask equipped with smart technology, featuring a transparent window allowing the users mouth to be visible to others, in order to optimise social engagement and avoid alienating people who rely on lip reading to communicate.

CLIU team member Fabrizio Lipani noted that the smart mask can be synced with a smartphone app, adding: CLIU offers the hi-tech version with integrated Bluetooth, microphone and GPS. Thanks to the dedicated app, you can check your CLIU to ensure it is functioning correctly. Additionally, you can check the filters consumption status and access real time information on your health, such as heart beats and breathing quality. Once the mask reaches the end of its lifespan, it can be dismantled and each component can be recycled.

Smart disinfection technology in the spotlight - Health Europa

VAIL Brian Counselman removes a panel from an intake vent beneath Vail Mountain School and a purple glow emanates from the duct.

Please dont ask me the specifics on this, says the longtime facilities manager of the 100,000 square-foot building.

The specifics of the Synexis Dry Hydrogen Peroxide biodefense system, the proprietary technology tucked into 86 ducts in the ceilings and walls of Vail Mountain School, are complicated, yet promising. Theyre also part of the reason the private school plans to begin educating its 450 students in classrooms five days a week later this month.

Although this building is among the first in Colorado to have the disinfection system installed, other school districts and public buildings are lining up for installation of the technology, too.

Deals are pending and demand is extremely strong in the state of Colorado, said Synexis Senior Vice President Douglas Bosma, who lives in the Vail Valley and whose children attend Vail Mountain School.

Its especially strong here in the high country, namely because we have gotten those big-name backers to go forward with the technology already, he said.

Bosma declined to name school districts or other municipalities that are interested in the system, saying he wanted to wait until deals were finalized.

Town of Vail officials looked at the Synexis system at Vail Mountain School and are planning to install dozens of the companys devices in public buildings and the towns 35 buses.

There is a simplicity of the system without needing chemical products that really piqued our interest right out of the gate, Town Manager Scott Robson said.

Vail is spending $160,000 on the first wave of installations in buses, town hall, recreation buildings and other indoor public spaces.

Robson said the town still is directing additional funds to additional cleaning, including use of electrostatic misting equipment to disinfect surfaces.

This is another tool in our cleaning effort, he said. I would expect that our initial use of this technology will grow. If you begin to look at the payback on our investment, we might be able to save on spending on additional chemicals and we wont have to close public facilities while we are cleaning. Its a pretty significant payback from a taxpayers perspective.

Robson said other municipalities are watching Vail and eager to see how the system works and how effective it is at controlling the spread of contagion.

At the end of the day, this is not just about public health, Robson said. Its about what are the tools we can implement to improve the economy and get society back to some level of normalcy.

Lenexa, Kansas-based Synexis was founded by James Lee, the inventor of Dry Hydrogen Peroxide gas technology.

Lee served in the U.S. Army specializing in defense against chemical, radiological and biological attacks and directed the chemistry department at West Point Academy. He founded Lee Antimicrobial in 2001 the predecessor to Synexis to help reduce the risk of microbial threats inside buildings using his patented Dry Hydrogen Peroxide biodefense systems.

Synexis has at least 17 patents, including one awarded last month for a device that produces non-hydrated purified hydrogen peroxide gas. The system uses UV radiation technology, which is widely used in wastewater treatment. The Synexis devices can be installed in rooms or ducts and produce hydrogen peroxide gas.

The company is purposely vague about just how the devices work but they use ultraviolet light and an air-permeable substrate structure to create the microbe-killing Dry Hydrogen Peroxide gas. The system requires air and humidity to activate the chemical process and is safe for breathing.

Vail Mountain School administrators arent saying how much they spent on the system, only that the amount was six figures. The devices, which run 24-hours a day all year long, are part of the K-12 schools contagion-limiting strategy that includes additional cleaning, masks, barriers and other protective equipment, and measures to limit crowding.

Head of School Michael Imperi hosted a town meeting last week with parents, faculty and staff to detail the schools safety plan for the coming academic year. Response to the new technology has been overwhelmingly positive, he said.

Lee built the technology as a tool to protect people inside buildings. Many systems can detect radiation or a chemical threat in real time but biological events are typically not recognized until there is a problem. The Synexis systems promise to eliminate viruses, bacteria, mold, insects, pollen and other organic compounds that can be distributed through the air inside a building.

The Synexis team is busy as demand peaks for the systems. All sales pitches are based on data, facts and a scientific approach, Bosma said.

We do not go on hypotheticals, he said. Everything we state or present has been backed with nine to 10 years of validation and credibility and testing, not only in third-party lab settings but in real world interventions, too.

For example, after a virulent bug leveled 25 Los Angeles Dodgers players and staffers in February 2018, the baseball team installed the Synexis systems in the clubhouse and illness rates fell. Several other professional teams have installed the systems in training facilities and clubhouses. The list of teams includes the Tampa Bay Rays, the Kansas City Royals, the San Diego Padres and the St. Louis Cardinals.

(Major League Baseball on Monday announced that 13 Cardinals players and staff tested positive for COVID-19 in the last week, on top of four of the teams players testing positive in early July. The team played four of its six games since the season restart at home, with two on the road in Minnesota.)

Synexis technicians measured microbial molecules in the air inside Vail Mountain School before installing the system and will return in two weeks to measure the bioburden essentially organic compounds in the air to gauge the effectiveness of the system.

In the initial testing, the technicians took samples in drawers and behind desks and other obscure spots to get a good baseline reading, Counselman said.

This is good for an independent school, said Kathleen Hogan, the schools director of marketing and communication. We have the (spacious) facility to make sure we keep kids distanced and we have the ability to invest in the technology.

The school, which charges $28,000 to $30,900 a year in tuition, will follow Eagle County public health guidelines but it is not tied to the mandates of the Eagle County School District.

Eagle County Schools last week released a 38-page guidebook for re-opening that includes details for mandatory masks, regular screenings and cleanings, and other strategies to limit crowding. Public schools will follow the countys epidemiological indicator that could require full remote learning for the first part of the school year if the number of new cases in the county does not fall soon.

(Since July 20, the number of new cases in Eagle County has fallen to a seven-day moving average of 6.29 cases, down from more than 15 in the middle of July.)

If Eagle County cases continue to fall, the district plans to begin in-person instruction four days a week for elementary and middle schools, beginning Aug. 25. High schoolers in the district will have a hybrid schedule blending remote and in-class instruction.

The plan has consequences for positive cases. If a single student tests positive for COVID-19, entire classes and even grade levels will be required to quarantine for 14 days, with some exceptions for teachers. Multiple positives will close schools for 14 days.

Vail Mountain School has an equally comprehensive plan in place and will follow the regulations issued by Eagle County public health officials.The school, like many in Colorados resort communities, has seen increasing demand for enrollment as urban families flee cities for homes in the mountains.

The schools gym has six of the Synexis devices. The library has four. The bigger classrooms have two and most of the rooms have one unit. Thats in addition to units on all six of the schools intake vents that distribute fresh air into the school.

One challenge: no one can leave windows open, which is a drawback for Vail, where late summer and fall temperatures are pleasant during the day.

There is a growing chorus of epidemiologists improving the science around the transmission of COVID-19. New peer-reviewed studies show the likelihood of catching the disease from a surface is low, contradicting earlier studies that suggested the virus could live on surfaces for as long as six days. The Synexis system cleans air as well as surfaces by spreading the hydrogen peroxide gas into every cubic inch of a room, Bosma said.

Its really giving a building an immune system, he said.
