Jones added sensors that, by monitoring the air temperature above and below the heli ten times a second, can keep the chopper at a fixed altitude with more accuracy than a human on the ground can.
The system consists of sensors fitted on cables throughout the network, both overhead and underground, measuring current and conductor temperature.
They mounted sensors on white whales to measure the salinity and temperature patterns of the fjord during its initial winter freezing.
Scientists in the company's research lab have built an experimental system that captures data, such as a baby's heart rate, temperature and movement, from a series of sensors under the baby's mattress and feeds the information to the parents' PC.
