News Reports on Wireless Sensor Technology Project
Saturday’s Bangor Daily News included a front-page story about UMaine Laboratory for Surface Science and Technology (LASST) project involving the development of wireless sensor technology for use in the jet engine maintenance industry and with particular relevance for military applications. The sensors are built to allow technicians to monitor the condition of engines and their component parts without disassembling the machines. The Maine Air National Guard is a partner in the project, donating an airplane engine for Prof. Mauricio Pereira da Cunha and his colleagues to use for their research. The three Bangor television stations also covered this story on Friday.
