It’s also possible that people were wearing woolen clothes for protection against the eruption, the researchers noted.The research, which has not been published in a peer-reviewed journal, was presented…
Fouch knew automated sensors could help by, for example, identifying the environmental culprits of the hole-punching issues, but with so many potential options to try he didn’t know where to start. “The worst thing you can do, in a smaller business especially, is muddle through pilot purgatory, hoping to find a viable product,” he says. “When someone else has done it before, they know the viable path, and they can save you the time and the expense.”That’s just what three directors and managers from Apple’s engineering and operations teams offered when Fouch and Quinn Shanahan, who oversees Polygon’s medical device…
