California Launches Wolf Mapping System in Wake of Attacks on Cattle
California ranchers say an online map that shows the approximate locations of GPS-collared wolves is a step in the right direction but lacks real-time tracking and accuracy to be truly effective.

Infrasense Completes TSD and GPR Analyses in Mississippi
Infrasense was tasked with carrying out evaluations of approximately 200 lane-miles of traffic speed deflectometer (TSD) and additional 3D ground penetrating radar (3DGPR) data collected throughout the state of Mississippi. The evaluations included combining the TSD data with pavement layer thicknesses determined from the onboard 3DGPR system to calculate pavement layer moduli, structural number, remaining life, and recommended asphalt overlay thickness. CANTON, Miss., June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Infrasense has evaluated approximately 200 lane-miles of traffic speed deflectometer (TSD) data and 25 channels of 3DGPR data collected by MDOT at various locations across Mississippi. Previously identified project segments were reviewed by Infrasense and MDOT to prioritize areas requiring more detailed analysis. Five project sections, each spanning approximately five miles in length, were identified and analyzed. Deliverables for these evaluations included the calculation of pavement layer moduli, structural number, remaining life, and recommended asphalt overlay thickness. These were reported in a comprehensive spreadsheet with each measurement location including SRI (Standard Route Identifier), Log Mile, latitude, longitude, asphalt thickness, base thickness, alongside results of all analyses. The 3DGPR data analysis included extraction of the 25 channels, spaced 3 inches apart, preprocessing of the extracted channels using calibration data, tracking of the layer boundaries, and layer thickness reporting. The layer thickness was reported at locations based on the TSD GPS coordinates. The 3DGPR data, which provided 6-foot-wide coverage from wheel path to wheel path, was reviewed to identify possible areas of high base moisture content and stripping within asphalt layers within the five project sections. The TSD data, in conjunction with the associated layer thickness data from the GPR analysis, was analyzed to assess subgrade modulus, asphalt, base layer (when applicable) modulus, effective structural number, equivalent single axle loads (ESALS) to failure, estimated remaining service life and recommended asphalt overlay thickness. Included in the comprehensive TSD data evaluation was the identification of anomalies (e.g., weak pavement layers, soft subgrade), assessment of layer moduli to determine layer coefficients, and identify deficient layers. Following the analyses of the 3DGPR and TSD data, including deflections, existing layer thickness, areas of distress, and estimated traffic levels, recommendations for rehabilitation (e.g., base repair, asphalt layer patching, overlays) were made. These recommendations will assist in developing expansive corridor planning and management strategies for critical Mississippi roadways. About Infrasense, 1987, Infrasense, Inc. has applied advanced technologies to address the most difficult challenges in subsurface scanning.

World Economic Forum's 'Quantum for Society' Challenge Names Xairos as Top Innovator
LAFAYETTE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Xairos Systems, Inc., a quantum technology company that is developing a global resilient space-based timing architecture to augment timing from GPS (Global Positioning Systems), announces its selection as a Top Innovator in the 'Quantum for Society Challenge.' The award was presented on World Quantum Day in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, by the World Economic Forum and partners the Center for the 4 th Industrial Revolution Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the Uplink Initiative. Xairos was selected as a Top Innovator in the World Economic Forum's 'Quantum for Society Challenge," for developing a global resilient space-based timing architecture to augment timing synchronization from GPS using quantum technologies. Share Xairos joined a select set of companies in Riyadh that were recognized for harnessing quantum technologies to ensure a sustainable future for humanity. Specifically, Xairos was recognized for their role in developing a global resilient space-based timing architecture using Quantum Time Transfer. Accurate timing synchronization is critical for improving the efficiency of power grids, networks and data centers, including those needing higher compute capabilities due to rising demand from Artificial Intelligence. 'We are honored to be selected by the World Economic Forum, the Center for the 4th Industrial Revolution Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the Uplink Initiative,' said David Mitlyng, CEO of Xairos. 'With their support, we can accelerate the vision of using quantum tech for the betterment of society.' About Xairos Xairos is developing a global resilient space-based timing architecture using Quantum Time Transfer (QTT), a protocol invented, patented, and perfected by the Xairos team. Accurate timing synchronization is critical for the world's transportation, networks, financial transactions, data centers, and power grids. Xairos is commercializing QTT to develop the next generation of Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT), with sub-nanosecond-level accuracy (1000 times better) and the security needed for future networks and applications.
