Firing a Laser into the Sky Diverts Lightning Offering Greater Protection to Installations
Abstract: Lightning bolts cause thousands of deaths every year worldwide. Since Benjamin Franklin’s invention of lightning rods made almost 300 years ago, the technology has not been changed even today. The same Franklin lightning rods are used on top of the buildings to steer lightning down to the ground so that they don’t pass through the buildings, and damage the structure or electrocute people. Researchers have recently developed a new type …

Hybrid Intelligence in Cyber Security: A Study
Abstract: The digital landscape is a battlefield of escalating complexity, where the volume, velocity, and sophistication of cyber threats have exponentially outpaced human-centric defense models. Traditional rule-based security systems and siloed artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, while valuable, are increasingly brittle, overwhelmed by zero-day exploits, polymorphic malware, and coordinated, state-sponsored campaigns that operate in the shadows of big data. This paper posits that the paradigm of cybersecurity must fundamentally shift from one …

A review of the employing of Wavelet transforms and Classifier Artificial intelligence (AI) methods for detecting power transmission difficulties
Abstract: Power systems use large interconnections to transmit and distribute electric power. For power transmission, the same voltage levels are used for minimum transmission losses. During power transmission faults may occur due to natural events such as lightning, strong wind, fire etc. Faults may occur between phase conductors to ground or between the phase conductors. Transmission line protection has been performed using the comparison of voltages and currents and activates the …
