The Bound and the Bearded

A/N: hiiii this is my first fic i’ve ever written cause i just NEEDED to play out this scene of ed wrecking stede cause it’s what these two deserve and i hope i did okay by them!

Fandom: Our Flag Means Death

Pairing: Blackbonnet, Ler!Ed, Lee!Stede

Word Count: 3.5k

Summary: Stede said he could take it, but Ed...er, Blackbeard...will see about that.

.....

Ed skillfully tied the last silk knot, the sound of Stede's anticipatory giggles adding fuel to his fire and the strong desire to immediately dig in. But he wanted to start this off slow. Ed took a step back from the bed to admire his work. Stede was stretched out, all four of his limbs going in oppsite directions, his nearly naked body looking like a ticklish feast ready to be devoured. Ed intended to do just that.

With Ed's eyes scanning over his body, Stede could hardly contain himself. The tingling heat of his blush felt like it was plunging all the way down to his feet. He was tied up, he couldn't move, and he was going to be tickled by Ed. The swarming thoughts already had him feeling like he was about to combust and Ed hadn't even touched him yet. Oh, he was so screwed.

"So..." Ed's voice cut into the tension, "...where shall I start first?"

Stede bit his lip trying to suppress a squeak, unsure if he could say anything even if he tried. His eyes stole a look at Ed's hands, the fingerless gloves seeming to add a menacing element all on their own. Stede watched as the fingers curled into a fist before unfurling out to a stretch, as if Ed was getting them warmed up and ready to torment. Stede's breath hitched in his chest as it was almost too much to handle for how much it excited him.

"Got nothin' to say?" Ed sauntered to the foot of the bed and, using one finger, took a quick swipe at the pad of Stede's big toe. Stede gasped, a ticklish zip going all the way up his leg.

"Hmm. I think I'll start down here then." Ed climbed his way over Stede's leg to situate himself in between the pair of feet. Taking that same single finger, Ed started to lightly stroke the sole of Stede's foot up and down. Stede jumped and a stream of breathy giggles easily flowed from his mouth as Ed's finger strolled heel to toe, over and over, his leisurely speed never changing. Not wanting the other foot to get jealous, Ed took to doing the same on the other side, matching the pattern.

Stede couldn't believe how much it already tickled. It felt like electric zings were reverberating from Ed's touch and pulsating up his legs. And the longer it went on (up and down, up and down,) it seemed that the ticklish feeling grew more and more with each stroke, the muscles in his legs involuntarily clenching with each pass. Stede started to wiggle his feet back and forth as much as he could.

Ed's fingers were on their upward glide when they decided to continue on with their journey and went up around his toes, skating down the tops of his feet, and started to travel their way up his calves. Stede's legs started to bounce as the teasy tickle climbed further and further and he let out a little high pitched whine of ticklish glee, knowing where it was headed next. When the fingers got to going up over the humps of his knees, Stede squealed, earning a rumbling chuckle from Ed.

"Bad spot?"

"NEEEEhehehehhehee!"

Wanting to give them some extra attention, Ed traced around the knee caps for a few revolutions before then gathering all his fingers atop the centers and slowly fanning them out, over and over again. Stede shrieked and his knees were desperately trying to contract as if it would make the ticklish feeling go away. But Ed and Stede both knew that Stede wanted this, no matter how much his body was protesting.

Wanting to keep the anticipation building, Ed switched back to his single-finger adventure on both sides of Stede's body. At this point, he started to loosely zig-zag his fingers, slithering up Stede's thighs like a snake. Like the tentacles of the Kraken.

The wave-like change of motion sent Stede into a fresh bought of laughter, the sounds getting more high pitched the higher up his thighs the fingers got.

"Ohohohoh shihihi- AH!" He shrieked as they followed up along the crease of his thighs where leg meets torso.

"Don't worry, love, I'll make sure to come back down here." Ed was taking notes, taking in every twitch, every squeak, as he continued mapping out all of Stede's worst spots to the exact point. He had taken to tickling Stede quite often ever since discovering he was ticklish (and that they both liked it,) but Ed had never had Stede laid out flat in front of him like a map on a table before. It was like going a treasure hunt, but pertaining to Ed's interests and much more fun. This was a type of treasure hunt he enjoyed.

Following the landscape of Stede's body, Ed's fingers curved inward down the dip of Stede's hips, causing him to buck in response. Not wanting to lose pace, the devious fingers followed along the waistline until they met in the middle just a little below Stede's bellybutton before tracing their steps back the way they came. The quivering of Stede's lower belly and the sound of his growing giggles had Ed's fingers going about in such a jagged manner, like tiny jackhammers set loose.

"You're throwin' me off my path here, mate. Gonna need you to stay still."

"Ihihiheeee- I caahahahaan't!"

"You're gonna be trouble for me, huh?"

"Heeheheheeee!"

Returning to the outer edge of Stede's hips, Ed's ticklish touch began to slither it's way up his sides, taking mini detours to swirl inward to his belly. Each time, Stede tried to suck his tummy in as a form of defense.

"Now, do you really think that's going to stop me?" Ed took a moment to flutter both fingers on either side of his bellybutton.

"Neeeeeeehehehee! N-no it juuuhuhuussst ti-hihihihihiickles!"

Ed chuckled with a smirk, "Oh, good. It's supposed to." He swirled his fingers back out and up to Stede's ribs. He started tracing around the bones like a maze, up and down, back and forth, making Stede gasp with breathy giggles until the fingers found their way out of the hedge and reached the finish line. As a celebratory victory lap, the fingers trailed up and started circling around the outer rims of Stede's armpits. Once, twice, three times they went around as Stede let out a squeal with each orbit.

Circling out, Ed's fingers snaked up Stede's arms, moving side to side allllll the way up to his wrists where the tied silk had made a restrictive residence against his skin. Ed’s movement stilled once they reached the dead end, giving Stede a little bit of a break. But just for a moment.

"Aaaaand now we go down."

"Naaahahahahaaa!"

Down the arms, around the armpits, back through the rib maze, swirling sweeps from tummy to sides, trailing along the pantline, surfing the scoop of his hips, down the 'V' of his thigh crease, slithering down his thighs, fanning at his kneecaps, tracing around his knees, sliding down his calves, climbing up the tops of his feet to his toes, and skiing down the soles. Everything like a ticklish rewinding replay in his mind, Stede couldn't contain his laughter, his sensitivity heightened from the slow continuous tease of just two fingers.

Making it back to the start of the journey, Ed finished with a swipe of his nails off the heels of Stede's feet before letting his arms fall to his sides. Stede started to catch his breath, giggling all the while.

"Ooohohohoooh, that tihihickled so muhuhuhuch!"

"Well, you better buckle up then. Cause I haven't even really started yet..." Without warning, Ed suddenly grabbed just above Stede's knees and planted a few killer squeezes.

Stede yelped in surprise, "AHHAHAHA! ED!"

Keeping his hands poised on Stede's knees, Ed slowly leaned forward, looming over Stede with a smirk growing on his face.

"Mmm? No...I'm Blackbeard."

"Nohoho!" Stede shrieked and his eyes went wide, his anticipation jumping up ten-fold.

An evil, rumbling chuckle left Ed's chest. "Shhhhhh..."

Ed jumped back into squeezing Stede's knees with renewed vigor, causing Stede's limbs to flail about as much as the silk ties would give.

"OHOHOHOH GOOOHOOHOHOD!" Stede wailed as the merciless squeezes attacked his knees, causing him to thrash about. With the pulsating ticklish jolts making themselves at home, Stede could hardly take it. And Ed was just starting? Oh, he was really in for it, wasn't he?

A minute had passed when the squeezing fingers started to slowly creep their way up his thighs, inch by inch, making sure to spend a few seconds at each spot. Once Ed's hands reached the upper thigh creases, Stede screamed, his laughter already slipping little by little into full hysterics.

'IT TICKLES, IT TICKLES, IT TICKLES, SHIT!' was the only thought swirling around in Stede's mind like a tornado, the repetitive squeezes in one of his most sensitive spots were like ticklish shocks to his system, sending him into a frenzy. With each squeeze, the feeling became more and more unbearable and the longer it went on, the more his desperation became apparent. And that absolutely thrilled Stede. But before it got to be overkill, Ed suddenly stopped and moved his hands to gently rake up and down Stede's belly. It still tickled and sent Stede's stomach muscles into spasms, but it was enough of a drop in intensity for him to collect his breath.

"Thahahat...was...SO bahahaad!"

"Awwrrr, c'mon, you can take it can't you? It's just a wee bit of tickling."

"Eheheheeed!"

"Muahahaha...okay break time over!"

Ed started suddenly scribbling his fingers back and forth along Stede's waistline, from hip to hip, ramping up Stede's laughter again. Sporadically, Ed's hands would jump to both hips to give them a few quick squeezes, making Stede buck and bounce around before continuing his back and forth spidering.

"EeeeheHEEEeehheeeee! AHHahahaha!" Stede's torso rocked side to side as if trying to evade Ed's tickling touches and escape.

Ed raised an eyebrow. "You trying to go somewhere, Stede? You got some place to be?"

"Eeeheheheeedd, nooooohoohoooo!"

"Cause you seem to be a bit stuck at the moment. A little "tied down" if you will."

"ShhhuuhuhuhutUUHUHUP!"

Ed playfully scoffed. "Ooooh ho ho, the gentleman pirate is getting brave now, are we? Telling Blackbeard to 'shutup?' Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you're in any position to tell me what to do."

Like lightning, Ed's hands suddenly shot up into Stede's armpits, thumbs digging into the centers, while his mouth came down into contact with Stede's belly, blowing a raspberry.

"NAAAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!! NOOOO!" Stede was completely caught off guard from the ticklish zing under his arms and the tingling vibration on his belly, coupled along with the exhilarating fact that Ed's mouth was on his skin. And Ed was using it to tickle him.

Stede was lost in his cackles as Ed started manically laughing into his belly, which tickled enough itself, but then Ed started moving his jaw up and down in a chewing motion and that sent Stede flailing. Ed's beard, his lips, and his teeth were grazing all around Stede's tummy in the most ticklish way, as if Ed was a hungry animal that was just given it's dinner.

Trying to tug his arms down and his hips thrashing, Stede cried out in laughter. "EEEHHEHDDD! BAHAHAHAHAHA!" He never realized mouths could be so tickly, especially when accompanied with a big bushy beard and mustache like Ed's. Motherfuckin' Blackbeard.

Ed continued nomming all over Stede's belly, as well as his hips, while his hands switched to spidering down to his ribs and sides, climbing up and down the outer edges of his torso. Keeping that tickling combo up for another minute, Ed could tell Stede was in need of another break and lifted his hands and his mouth away from Stede's sensitive skin.

Stede gulped in a few needed breaths as Ed started to shuffle back a little further down the bed. Feeling the movement, Stede lifted his head to look down and see Ed lifting a leg over to straddle his right leg. Ed looked up to lock eyes with Stede and gave him a mischievous eyebrow raise and a sly smile.

Eyes going wide, Stede couldn't help but watch as Ed once again started to lower his face down to Stede's skin, but this time going for his inner thigh.

"ED NOOOOOHOHO! NOT THE BEARD! NOT THERE!"

Ed stopped just a couple inches from his leg, looking back into Stede's eyes again. "Blackbeard will do as he pleases."

"NAAHAHAHAAAAAAAH!" Stede squealed as Ed's beard and mouth started nuzzling into the vulnerable soft skin of his inner thigh.

Ed was absolutely delighted with the high pitched sound he was churning out of Stede. The gentleman pirate's laugh sparkled bright and joyfully, like the glistening of the sun on the sea. And it just made Ed want even more of it. He nuzzled his way up and down Stede's thigh, taking a few nibbles here and there earning himself extra shrieks. It was so addicting.

With his hands not wanting to miss out on the fun, Ed decided to take it a step further and latched crablike claws around both the inner and outer crease of Stede's thigh and started to squeeze. Stede went ballistic.

It was like an explosion of ticklish proportions overtook Stede's entire being. The feeling of Ed's beard and mouth meandering around on his thigh combined with the electrocuting squeezes making him jolt about was just so much.

"FAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAA EEEEEEEEHDHDHDDD NONONONONO STAAAAHAHAA NAAAAHAHAAAA!!" Stede couldn't form words. He tried to kick his leg, but there was very little give with the way Ed had it pinned down. He was completely at Ed's mercy and that thought made him start to lose control and dissolve into hysterical silent laughter. Everything was just 'tickle' and nothing else existed.

As Ed kept nuzzling and squeezing, he could hear that Stede had become nothing more than a wheezing blubbering mess. Shifting his eyes, he looked at Stede's other leg jostling about next to him and was hit with a curiosity that he needed to have answered.

The tickling came to a sudden halt and Stede's body fell limp, in desperate need of a break, when he felt the tie on his left ankle being undone. As he started to come back down to earth, Stede looked down to see Ed facing away from him with his hands working at the tie on his ankle. Stede couldn't help but suddenly feel a small pang of disappointment. 'Oh, it's over? Just like that?' Sure, Stede was fairly worn out, but Ed had just stopped and took to untying him so abruptly that he suddenly worried that something was wrong.

"...Ed?" Stede called out to him through his huffs. Ed didn't respond, focusing on pulling the last slip of silk and letting it fall to the bed. Stede's ankle felt cold from the absence of the silk it suddenly missed.

Stede was about to try getting his attention again when, in a flash, Ed moved to straddle his waist and faced toward his feet. Stede's leg was then being lifted and bent, positioned to hook his calf around the back of Ed's shoulder while Ed's upper arm crossed the back of the knee and pressed against the outside of his leg, keeping it firmly nestled between Ed's arm and side while completely exposing the back of Stede's thigh.

Oh, it wasn't over.

Once Stede registered Ed's plans, he let out a gasp.

"Oh! Oh no. Oh no no nonononono, Ed, noohoohooOOOO!" Stede couldn't help but already start to giggle as if the air alone was already starting to tickle the hypersensitive, rarely touched skin.

Ed turned his head back towards Stede. "Well, I couldn't leave this other leg out, now could I? And, with your legs being soooo ticklish, I just want to make sure that I explore every inch...and I realized...I hadn't tried back here yet."

"Shhhiiihihiiiiitt!"

"Seems like it'll be a good spot, yeah?"

"NO!"

"No? You don't think it'll tickle?"

"EHEHEDWARD!"

"Yes?"

"NAHAHHAA!"

"Laughing already? But I haven't even tickled yet. Besides, I thought you said you didn't think this would tickle."

"STOP IHIHIHHITT!"

"Stop what?"

"Neeeehehehee...TEASING!"

"Oh! So you want me to tickle you? So you are ticklish here then? Were you lying to me?"

"NAHAHAHAAAAA FUCK OFF!"

"Wow, Stede. Lying to me AND telling me to fuck off? Not very gentlemanly of you. But, if that's the way you want to be..."

The sound that came from Stede's lungs can only be described as a screaming tea kettle. His laughter reached new heights in pitch as Ed began scribbling, tasering, poking, and squeezing the back of his thigh in such a chaotic frenzy that Stede could hardly tell what was happening, but just knew that it tickled terribly. His calf that had been slung behind Ed's shoulder was frantically kicking as the rest of his body was attempting to twist and turn in any sense to escape, but with the way Ed had his leg pinned in position and the rest of his limbs still tied down along with Ed's warm weight on his torso, it was impossible. And just brutal.

Ed proceeded to tickle the back of Stede's thigh, zipping around, making sure to get at every little bit of skin. Periodically, he reached one hand around to also pinch at Stede's hip at the same time, which drove Stede up the wall. Stede was starting to crumble and just when he thought it couldn't get any worse, Ed moved both of his hands to lightly skitter all ten fingers at the upper back of his thigh, nearly reaching his ass. With Ed deciding to linger there, Stede started to break into shrill begging giggles.

"NAAAAHAHAAAHEHEHEHEHEEEEE! NONONONOSTOPSTOPSTOP EEEEEHEHEED HEEEHEHEHE PLEEEEEHEHEEE OHMYGOHOOHOOD!”

Tears formed in Stede's eyes as he became incoherent, shrieking out a bunch of unintelligible giggly pleas, and Ed could sense that Stede was truly reaching his limit. But, wanting to try one last thing, Ed dipped his head down to nuzzle and nibble his way from the back of his knee to the hypersensitive upper area while maintaining the skittering of his fingers.

Stede's laughter went silent aside from a few squeaks that broke their way through. Holy hell, Stede had never been tickled this bad before. Ed tickled him frequently, but this? This was a whole new level of being tickled and Stede felt like his soul had been projected into a different dimension. Nothing else was real. Just Ed and tickles. And as unbareable as it was, it was wildly invigorating. But, now he was also getting to a point where he really needed it to-

"STAAAAAHAHAHAHHAAAAAP!!"

"Say the magic woooord..." Oh, just evil.

"PLEEEEEHEEEEEEEEAAAAASSEEEEEE!!"

In an instant, all the tickling stopped. Ed gingerly unraveled Stede's leg from behind his body and set it back down on the bed.

With lingering laughter and tingles all over his body, Stede felt like he was floating, the smile never leaving his face. Relishing in the after effects of the diabolical euphoria, he felt a soft, tender hand pushing the disheveled hair back away from his forehead. The hand continued to glide across his hair, petting the top of his head in a caring and comforting manner. This continued on for a couple minutes as Stede was slowly coming down from his tickle high and his body became relaxed, but the happy feelings stayed. In that moment, post tickle and Ed's hand lovingly running through his hair, he felt like the luckiest man in the world.

Ed leaned his head in close. "Hey, how ya feeling?"

"Mmmm..." Stede was completely blissed out, "...amazing. Can we do it again?"

That got an amused chuckle out of Ed. "Shit, Stede. You are quite a tough little pirate, aren't you?"

"Mmmhmm, I'm a fuckin lunatic, remember?"

Ed laughed again. "Yeah, you are. And it's still one of the things I love about you." He kissed Stede's temple and then began to untie the rest of Stede's limbs. Once Stede was free, Ed climbed onto the bed and wrapped him in a hug.

Cuddling up to Ed's chest, Stede closed his eyes and let out a content sigh, drifting off into a tickle happy slumber.

Rubbing a hand up and down Stede's back, Ed felt his breathing even out as he fell asleep. Looking at his face, Ed couldn't help but feel overcome with emotion for the love he felt for this man. Here was this frilly, book reading, fabric loving, fashionista, bizarre, weird little gentleman of a pirate snuggled up against him with nothing but love and trust for Ed. How is this real? Ed didn't know, but all he knew was that he felt like the luckiest man in the world.

Make Your Own Fuels to Power Vehicles and Equipment:

There are things we can forego when public emergencies occur and things we cannot do without. Among the latter is fuel. So, when the usual local distributors have run dry, knowing how to create fuel can be an advantage. It's important understand that making your own fuel is not a savings. Producing a liter of homemade fuel will cost more than the gas station. So why would anyone want to make their own fuel? Two reasons: 1-The thrill of discovery and 2-Being ready in a survival situation (providing you already have the components and have tested the process(es) in advance). NOTE that making fuels in particular areas may be illegal and/or require licensing even for private use. While it's possible to make automobile fuel at home, there are some other options to consider. If one method doesn't work, others may provide better options when it is impossible to buy gasoline or other fuel types. Methane (Biogas): Building a Methane Biodigester will harvest methane fuel for heating, cooking and gas powered equipment or vehicles and fertilizer for your garden. There are a lot of resources for this on the web but serious research is recommended before beginning this kind of project. The product is 50% methane and 50% carbon dioxide and, in the right concentrations, is highly explosive and extreme care is needed. It can, and will, kill you if the necessary precautions are not taken. 60% methane can be used to generate electricity or used for heat or for fuel for vehicles. It can be very safe and affective but double-check everything and never store any of this in a house or other enclosed area. Although methane is derived predominantly from non-renewable sources, methane can also be obtained by the anaerobic digestion of wastes (renewable sources unlike gasoline from non-renewable petroleum). Anaerobic digestion of wastes provides biogas. Any animal manure, human sewage or food waste will produce methane during anaerobic digestion. Click Here for additional information on this topic. Ethanol: Pot Still + Sugar + Yeast = Alcohol/Ethanol (moonshine). With a small adjustment in the carburetor a diesel engine can be configured to run on Ethanol. Kerosene: Kerosene is one of the first by-products of shale or coal. When coal or shale is heated up, it begins to "sweat" which can be collected and distilled; this is Kerosene. Making kerosene requires no modern technology. Manufacturing plants that produce [barbecue] charcoal can easily be switched over to make kerosene. While making Kerosene at home can be challenging, using [k1] Kerosene in a Diesel or Gasoline engine is an alternative in a emergency situation.

Storing it in a cool place will maximize its shelf life. BioDiesel from Waste Vegetable Oil: When Rudolph Diesel invented his internal combustion engine, he used refined peanut oil as fuel so farmers could grow their own fuel for their tractors.

ANALYZING IOT DATA: FINDING VALUE FROM IT

WHAT EXACTLY IS IOT DATA ANALYTICS?

The use of data analysis tools and techniques to gain meaningful insights from massive amounts of data generated by connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices is known as IoT data analytics.

DATA ANALYTICS TYPES IN IOT

ANALYSIS OF HISTORICAL DATA

Historical data can reveal why an occurrence occurred and how frequently it occurred. It therefore contributes to better efficiency in manufacturing operations. Analytics software aids in root cause analysis, allowing for the avoidance of similar incidents/behavior in the future.

STREAMING ANALYTICS IN REAL TIME

Streaming analytics pulls in live data from various IoT devices, analyses it as soon as it is measured, and takes action based on that analysis.

This action can be as simple as sending a text message to an engineer to notify them of an equipment malfunction/failure, or it can be more involved and continuous, such as monitoring a machine’s temperature and prompting it to stop before it overheats.

Another example is garbage management in parks. Streaming analytics can monitor bin full status and detect when a bin is full and has to be emptied in this case. This results in hassle-free park garbage management, saving time and removing the chance of a mess.

Streaming analytics in fleet management may emphasise the position of vehicles, identify any off-course vehicles, and deliver reports on the condition of carried items.

ANALYTICS OF PREDICTION

Predictive analytics for IoT includes a number of statistical approaches such as data mining, predictive modelling, and machine learning that aid in the study of current and historical data to identify trends and anticipate future or otherwise unknown occurrences.

Consider the situation of an engineering firm that designs and tests systems such as combustion engines, batteries, and fuel cells. The organisation intends to deliver greater and deeper insights into the performance of this crucial equipment to its clients. The startup mixes real-time and historical IoT data. Based on a review of current and historical trends, the organisation proposes ways for its clients to enhance operational performance and save money.

WHY IS IOT DATA ANALYSIS REQUIRED?

Data analytics may be extremely valuable to organisations. It adds value to every process and significantly improves outcomes. Full-stack IoT development provides real-time data analytics at the edge and in the cloud.

Here are some of the most significant advantages of IoT data analytics for businesses:

HEALTH CONTROL

IoT Data Analytics is extremely beneficial in the healthcare industry. Every aspect of a patient’s health, from blood pressure to microchip cardiac monitoring, may be tracked in real time. Doctors and healthcare professionals may use this data to perform successful diagnosis and plan the best course of therapy.

We were all aware of how SPO2 levels needed to be recorded to monitor patients in home quarantine during the Covid era. Other similar factors can also be tracked and studied in order to forecast a patient’s health.

AUTOMATION ADAPTION

IoT data analytics and metrics can aid in the automation of next-generation goods. We can study their usage patterns and discover faults in the present design by integrating smart IoT devices into your things, providing you the opportunity to make some changes.

EXPERIENCE OF THE CUSTOMER

IoT data and analytics improve corporate insights and its capacity to provide the greatest customer experiences. From the data acquired, this real-time analysis can disclose client wants and other relevant information.

DECISION-MAKING ADVANCEMENT

A massive amount of fresh data from smart sensors and equipment is being added to the massive pool of data. Companies are now employing prescriptive analytics to inform operational and strategic decision-making. Operational decision-making occurs when analytics and data are already available to all members of the business, typically via a self-service application, whereas strategic decision-making occurs when the team leader recognises critical problems for which solutions or answers are required.

IMPORTANT DATA ANALYTICS APPLICATIONS

MARKETING AND SALES IMPROVEMENT

IoT Analytics play an important part in enhancing corporate marketing and sales by assisting in the following scenarios:

Anticipating Customer Needs — Analytics assists you in gathering and analysing customers ’ requirements and trends regarding product usage and feedback.

Assist in the delivery of new value-added services-

Analytics allows you to combine data from original sources for analysis, prediction, and action.

Flexible Billing and Pricing — It is feasible to plan outcomes and subscription-based pricing models by obtaining data from multiple sources. This also helps to boost market penetration of value-added products.

DATA ANALYSIS IN REAL TIME FOR THE MANUFACTURING SECTOR

A totally automated IoT Analytics on a Control panel assists in utilising real-time data to monitor for certain trends and deliver alerts to the appropriate departments. Electronics, chemical, automotive, durable goods, and other key sectors have all extensively invested in IoT Analytics to boost efficiency and output.

These sectors are already using new production equipment with sophisticated sensors to aid in smart manufacturing. This creates several monetization options, which contribute in income generating and cost savings activities.

ThyssenKrupp, for example, collaborated with two other firms, CGI and Microsoft Azure, to send notifications when its elevators needed maintenance. Predictive maintenance delivers alarms when an elevator is ready to fail and even educates staff where to look for problems.

IMPORTANT PROGRESS IN THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR

IoT has resulted in significant changes and advances in the healthcare industry. People and applications are becoming linked in ways that were never thought possible before. This has improved healthcare outcomes while also lowering healthcare costs. IoT-enabled medical equipment are outfitted with advanced sensors to assist clinicians in anticipating medical emergencies.

IoT sensors may be found in a variety of devices, including surgical robots, personal health and fitness equipment, medicine dispensing systems, and implanted devices. In real time, data is collected and evaluated. Furthermore, the equipment itself is monitored to minimise downtime and avert probable breakdowns, among other things.

Because they provide consolidated statistics for patients, the advent of health applications and linked medical devices has been a major changer in the medical business. When a problem is recognised, the settings are established (in the applications or devices) to automatically trigger alerts and prompt a reaction from concerned healthcare providers.

IMPROVING SURVEILLANCE WITH VIDEO ANALYTICS

IoT analytics detects abnormalities and lapses and protects us from dangerous circumstances. Video analytics surveillance may be utilised to prevent crimes and mishaps. Roadside speed sensors are one example.

Organizations and systems no longer need to rely on closed-circuit television (CCTV) to safeguard their premises from intruders. Instead, they might employ video analytics approaches equipped with smart sensors. When video is paired with data, considerably more insights for forecasting future occurrences may be obtained.

Understanding shopping habits is aided by video analytics. Sensors on devices put in shopping malls can assist prevent road accidents and traffic congestion by determining peak traffic times and locations and warning users/motorists. Workplace video surveillance may also be used to enhance worker safety or to improve security.

IOT DATA ANALYTICS TRENDS

ANALYTICS OF THE IOT EDGE

IoT edge analytics is a rapidly growing concept in the IoT space. IoT Edge analytics are tools that are positioned near IoT devices. They capture, process, and analyse data at the source rather of sending it to the cloud for analysis. This optimises the data processing process by doing it in real-time, ensuring that as much usable information as possible is gathered from the device. To that purpose, devices are meant to have their own analytical skills. Edge systems aid in the reduction of performance latency in IoT monitoring and analytics systems.

IN IOT DATA ANALYTICS, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) AND MACHINE LEARNING (ML)

Ordinary data analysis aids in IoT adoption, but AI can do it more quicker and more precisely. In more precise words, AI can organise a data collection, increase IoT device interoperability, and derive real-time inferences. AI and machine learning can assist systems extract the most meaningful insights from massive amounts of unstructured data. Thus, by combining unstructured data from numerous sources, interpreting it, and expressing it in an usable fashion, AI algorithms can save important time.

As a result, including AI into IoT infrastructure is becoming a need. To deal with the ever-increasing volume and size of data, IoT systems, especially endpoint devices, must become smarter and more autonomous. Fortunately, we have AI and machine learning to help us with this.

Christmas With the Karasuno Boys (HC’s)!!

Part 2: Kageyama, Hinata, Tsukishima, Yamaguchi, Kinoshita, & Narita

Part 1 (Daichi, Suga, Asahi, Nishinoya, Tanaka, & Ennoshita) here!

A/n: Tumblr said my word count was too much so I’m splitting this bad boi up into two parts :p Enjoy!!

*****

Kageyama

This boy has a secret soft side for Christmas istg

He HATES showing it to other people on his team and shit

But holy bejeezus he is mesmerized by the holiday in every way possible

Lights, sweets, snow, just like,,, the general magic of December is the most awe-inspiring thing to him

Since he is still a sporty and pretty active mofo, you decided to fuel that on your holiday-themed date as Kags had noted that he’d never gone sledding before

Your jaw was on the FLOOR when he first told you because he would 10000% enjoy the hell out of it

And so you dragged him out to this popular sledding hill that you frequented as a child and taught him what to do

Not gonna lie, he was kind of nervous

“Well you’re experienced at it. I don’t wanna mess up”

🥺🥺🥺 bubby

“You won’t, Tobio! I can already tell you’re gonna be a sledding pro”

Feels a little better after that, but he asks you to help him out for his first run down the hill

He sits behind you with his arms secured snugly around your waist and his head nestled on top of your shoulder

Which would probably seem really funny to passerby because this boy is tol and intimidating in most other situations

As soon as the sled started down, Kags tightened his grip and made this cute little yelp of surprise

But you were laughing insanely hard at the combination of going really fast downhill whilst also having your boyfriend cling to you for dear life

And then when the sled stopped safely at the bottom he started to chuckle

FULL ON, GENUINE SOUND OF ENJOYMENT

That shit is rare

Y’all stayed at that hill for half the day because it was so fun

You got him a new, very high quality athletic roller for Christmas because his old one was just not cutting it anymore

And you also gave him this really cute bracelet with a volleyball, his jersey number, and a little strawberry milk set of charms attached to it

It matched this really pretty and subtle chain he’d bought for your birthday

His blueberry eyes got all wide with affection dfjdskfjsdk—

Got super blushy and couldn’t get a handle on his speech for a fat minute

He thinks you’re the coolest person ever no I do not take criticism

Geez you’re both adorable together, ideal “stoic boy becomes warmer during the holidays around his love” movie plot and I love it

Hinata

He is all in on Christmas. Not a chance this boy doesn’t get excited as hell

Will openly go into holiday mode as soon as November is over

Was secretly already listening to his Christmas playlist before then

He is one of the sweetest gift givers, that is FACTUAL

If you want something really badly, he will take notice and get it as your present immediately

He’ll also gift you an extra thing that’s handmade 🥺

Like some pastries that his mom helped him make, or a specially made basket of soaps with your favorite scents in it

It’s absolutely adorable and you cherish those ones especially

Is happy if you simply get him something; mans doesn’t care what it is

New practice volleyball? A brand new sweatshirt? Elated either way

You had seen an advertisement for a friendly match between Japan and Poland’s men’s volleyball teams, so you waited online on the ticket sales website until the minute it opened

Spoiler alert: you got some banger seats 😌✨

Shoyo may or may not have tackled you when he read the ticket details, letting out his excited giggle (you know the one)

“I can’t believe you got these, angel! You’re coming with me, right? You’ve gotta! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Gives you sweet little kisses between each individual ‘thank you’

“Of course I’ll go with you, Sho! I’m really glad you like it!”

He will give you the brightest smile of all time — that shit makes Christmas lights pale in comparison

“Have I told you how much I love you?”

RIGHT BACK AT YOU BBY

Hold his hands to warm up together when temperatures drop pls :)))

It’s become a weekly December tradition to watch a Christmas movie with Natsu at the Hinata household

She’ll sit in your lap while the three of you are cuddled under a blanket together, and Shoyo will lace his fingers with yours all discreetly

In conclusion, I am a sucker for holiday Hinata 🥺🥺🥺

Tsukishima

His room is decorated to the very minimum simply because his mom and brother had insisted on him being festive

You know those holiday instrumentals that are really calming and jazzy and stuff? Yeah, that’s the only Christmas music he will tolerate in his house

While he’s still got his usual icy demeanor, this blond bitch does get slightly less snippy with the Karasuno boys

Is always on the nose with getting you the exact thing you wanted for a present

Like,,, TO THE SMALLEST DETAIL

You don’t even have to bring that shit up beforehand, he just KNOWS

“Tsukki, how did you—?”

“It’s pretty obvious, with the way that one ad kept showing up on your phone.”

b r u h

How does he pay such good attention without even letting on??

As for his own present, you’ll usually get him two: one gag gift and one more serious gift

His dino plush collection size is partly due to the former’s contributions this time of year

Yes the dinos have names

You exchanged gifts on Christmas Eve with all the team (you made him go) and he saved your more serious one for last

It was a scarf that you’d gotten custom made, which had a Spotify code knitted into the fabric

Scanning the code opened the app to a playlist you’d created especially for him

He got pretty quiet when figuring it out and scrolling through the playlist

Would let out a certified Tsukki Nose Exhale™ when he came across certain songs

The more subdued reaction was expected because it’s Tsukishima

His little chuckles and warmer eyes were enough of a giveaway to tell you he very much enjoyed your gift

But on the walk home, he took the scarf and wrapped it around you both, and then brought his arm around your waist

“Thank you.”

You deadass almost combusted because it was so unexpected??

“You’re welcome. Merry Christmas, Kei”

Way to respond calm and collected 😌👍

But on the inside your body was in freak out mode

He wears the scarf all the time jdfsklfjdsk

Yamaguchi

Take the most tooth rotting fluff you could imagine

And then double that and put a fucking cherry on top

That’s the equivalent of what Christmas is like with Yama Yama

Y’all are like kids in a candy store — literally

For your Christmas dates it’s all about sweets and shared giggles, so frequent trips to the candy and baking isles of the grocery store is a must

Making gingerbread houses, peppermint tasting (mostly trying those different and wild ass candy cane flavors), you name it and it’s there

Stomach aches? I don’t know her

Yeah you do but they go away with enough butterfly kisses 🥰

Tadashi is exceptionally good at decorating gingerbread houses for whatever reason

He put a poll on his instagram between yours and his final products and he won by a landslide

It’s not like yours was necessarily bad, more like he’s just an icing master

You also might have eaten too many gumdrops which left your rooftop lacking in ✨spice✨

But it’s okay because Tadashi donated some of his leftovers to you

He’s such a sweetheart uwu

Please for the love of everything get him something heartfelt as his present

You know those long distance bracelets for couples?

Basically if your s/o taps the icon on the bracelet it’ll send a little vibration to the other person’s as a notice that you’re thinking about them

This boy seeks constant reassurance, and you love to give him his deserved love and validation, so it was the perfect present

It takes a second for him to figure out what it is, but after reading the directions and testing it out, the most adorable smile erupted on his face

And then since you already had yours on, he tapped the little icon again with a giggle

“Hey there”

It becomes common habit to tap it at least once every couple hours

GOD HE IS SO CUTE

He is just so soft this time of year, give him all the love and he will return it tenfold ☺️

Kinoshita

This boy is absolutely an awkward cutie and an avid romantic

Give him the cliches and he will eat em up, no doubt

It naturally gets more apparent around the holidays

He’ll take you on pretty winter walks, give you lots of little gifts (while blushing a hell of a lot), and is just a professional at stumbling upon some mistletoe

Wow wonder how it got there, Hisashi

He’s quite a bit more confident when simply alone with you than in a crowded space

And that definitely shows when he takes you out on a secluded sleigh ride around town

Yeah you heard me

A fuckin’ sleigh ride

Horses and blankets and everything

Don’t even ask how he managed to pull it off, because he loves watching the cogs turn in your head and simply will not give you a straight answer

Of course there’s the nice driver guy who’s there, but in the back alone Kinoshita’s confidence goes 📈📈

Lots of flirting, tons of skimmed touches and shared giggles throughout the ride

I legitimately simp really hard for him

Anyways it was a gorgeous ride through town and super fun

On Christmas Eve you both exchange gifts together and tbh whatever you got him will leave him happy and flustered regardless

But when he opens the wrapping paper to find an entire set of vintage VHS tapes, he’s stunned

He owns a VHS (actually canon!) and honestly loves it to death, and the fact that you’d get him tapes of pretty high quality for his collection meant a lot

Gosh he’s so underrated but a definite sweetheart, give him all the holiday love

Narita

Another underrated bby 🥺

He’s so chill and is pretty open to anything during the holidays, so long as he gets to spend ample time with you, his friends, and his family

Definitely more of an indoor person despite being accepting of most situations

Hence why you thought a cute little indoor winter picnic would be right up his alley

Which it absolutely was 😌✨ nice work

You’d made plans while in secret communications with his family members about the whole thing

He’d been pretty stressed lately with trying to handle his schoolwork, while also helping out others with theirs

Despite being a wonderful tutor, it was clearly becoming a bit overwhelming as he tried to grapple with so much at once

So when he came home one day to find a pristine house with you settled on a blanket in his living room, he was quite surprised

There’s a cheese plate, soda cans in a cute ice box, sandwiches, snacks, a presparked fireplace — you and his family went all out

Really adorable I cannot lie

“I thought you said you were going gift shopping today?”

“I might have maybe lied :P”

So he gives the sweetest little smile and sits across from you

Y’all stay there and talk for hours

After finally getting through everything previously laid out on the blanket spread, you slid him a little rectangular box that he looked at curiously

“Already? I haven’t wrapped yours yet!”

“Mine can wait a bit! Just open yours”

And so he does, and you watch with a face-splitting grin as he looks down in awe

You got tickets to see his favorite rock band in concert while they were on tour

He sprung onto you and pulled you into the tightest hug ever

“Holy shit you’re the best I love you so much how do you get even more loveable every day—!?!l”

It’s a jumble of words but you’re able to put it together and it makes you giggle

He deadass sprints upstairs to go get your gift and make sure that you feel as equally appreciated as he does

In simple words: wholesome holiday sweetness 🥰

#1 Fan

Plot: You catch the eye of your favorite baseball star Siebren de Kuiper before a game~

Tags: Sort-of-Sexting, Age Difference. Semi-Public. BJ. Overuse of the smiling emoji. Reader radiates big bottom energy, but is otherwise gender neutral. Sigma is a… Fuckboi. lol

A/N: I have no self control and even though I have like five other things I’m working on right now @sketchingshow ‘s Baseball!Sigma has given fuel to a new fire.

You look at the clock over the ticket booth and grimace, looking down at the digital ticket you had pulled up on your phone screen, mentally face palming at how you had gotten 12:30 and 2:30 mixed up. You sighed and walked up to the qr scanner, verifying yourself, and walked through the rotating metal pipes of the entrance, figuring since you were already here you might as well check in. It’s not like you could go home and wait considering it took you an hour to get here.

Oh, the things you were willing to put up with so you could see your favorite baseball player Siebren de Kuiper in his last season.

There were a bunch of people here already, staff and fans alike, though mostly for the home team, so you weren’t that anxious at being so early. You walked through the entrance hall, taking a few photos of some of the player posters hanging, and out through a vomitorium that lead into the stadium. You looked out over the empty field, bright and green and surrounded by high walls of seats, and took a quick selfie with the vast expanse of the stadium behind you, at least being this early meant no one knocking you down or being in the way for a cute photo.

You wandered down closer to the field, taking in the smell of freshly cut and watered grass, and took a load off in one of the more expensive seats. The home team was currently practicing before the game so you didn’t really care that much about watching them, content to fiddle with your phone until somebody told you to move.

For a while you browsed some videos and looked through your social media when you got an alert. Siebren de Kuiper had posted an update on his profile. You tapped the notification and simultaneously had your heart drop into your feet and your stomach rise into your lungs when you saw something you never thought you would,

A picture of you, sitting alone in the stands wearing his name and number, boredly looking at your phone with the caption,

“Not seen much nowadays, an eager fan. Lol. -Siebren.”

Your face was instantly set ablaze with embarrassment, too embarrassed to glance up and see the teams trading off field time, not sure how you’d react if you actually saw him looking in your direction. God, you wanted to die, but at the same time you felt like shouting out loud and dancing. You didn’t know what to do, you’ve never been noticed by a celebrity before. Should you leave a comment? Reshare it? Screencap it, print it, and hang it on your wall? Well, maybe not that, but what! Oh god this was so cool and crazy and oh god, you looked so weird in this pic! Was that what it looked when you sat down? Such poor posture! Ugh and you looked so tired! Would it be weird to try and doll yourself up or-

You shake your head and pinched the bridge of your nose, you were overthinking this. What would a normal person do in this situation? You typed out a quick comment. “Haha, that be me!” No, no too childish. “Wtf, that’s me!!!” Too surprised. Hmmm...

“Lol that’s me!”

Normal and friendly. Exactly how it should be. You were proud of yourself as you submitted the comment, marveling at it under his picture. You were nervous at him seeing it as you scrolled through his feed a little, mostly selfies of him with his team, over filtered pictures of his home life, and reshared posts about space facts and dumb baseball puns. It was honestly kind of adorable and underappreciated, if the low amount of likes meant anything, the man was as wholesome as they came and no one seemed to appreciate it!

A new notification popped up as you scrolled, a reply to your comment!

You tapped it and felt your heart flutter, Siebren de Kuiper had liked and replied!

“Thank You for your eager support then! :) - Siebren.”

A wide smile crossed your face at that, god that was adorable! You typed out a reply without thinking,

“Always a pleasure! <3”

You giggled when you hit confirm, insides all warm. This was so cool. Like, literally, this was the coolest thing ever. You glanced up to the field, face burning when you noticed that he sat not too far away from you, sitting in the dugout a little diagonally from you, tapping away on a smartpad. Most likely browsing his own stuff. That was cool. He was cool. And handsome. And nice. And funny. And smart. And- okay your brain was going haywire.

You needed to take a walk before you began to hyperventilate. You stood up and walked back into the entrance hall where miscellaneous vendors had set up, mostly baseball paraphernalia for the visitor’s team since the home team had it’s own gift shop in the building. You browsed a bit to distract yourself from the excitement.

You were looking at a new version of the shirt you were already wearing when your phone buzzed with a notification.

“New direct message.”

That was odd, you never got dmed. You quickly opened it to find that you got a message from a random, empty account you weren’t following named Sigma14, weird name.

Where did you go?

You always forgot to lock dms to private, shrugging, you typed out a quick reply.

Sorry, Wrong person!

You were flipping through your settings to find the right configuration when a new reply came through.

Oh, I’m sorry!

I forgot this was my personal account!

It’s me, Siebren!

Your heart stopped and heat filled your body again, but your rational mind was rightfully unconvinced.

Yeah, sure you are.

Just send me the virus link

lol

You typed out, but waited for a reply this time, not knowing if you’d prefer to be let down with this being some weird scammer or actually get a real reply. Both seemed equally upsetting but for different reasons and on different ends of the spectrum.

Here’s Proof!

He sent a few pictures. The first was of him, smiling into the camera with a thumbs up while sitting in a dugout, his face sweaty and his greying hair a little mused, then the next was a picture of the field you were just in, the name of the stadium clearly seen, and the last was a picture of the seat you were sitting in with a red question mark and arrow pointing to it.

See!

He added after. You hugged your phone and squealed quietly, suddenly bursting with energy. Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. It was really him!!!

akdjfldjsaf!

it’s really you!!!

I’m a huge fan!!

You typed out excitedly.

Haha

I noticed!

Thank you for supporting me!

So where did you run off to?

You took a photo of the shirt table you were standing at, glad that it was still pretty empty so no one seemed to mind you loitering around the table. You framed two different shirts with his name and number on it in two different colors, home and away.

Just buying some merch.

I need a new shirt

Lol

Which one do you think I should get?

You smiled when the texting bubble instantly popped up, feeling bubbly at the knowledge he was paying attention to you and not practicing.

Firstly, You have excellent taste!

And secondly, I don’t know…

I think I’d have to see it on you!

That last message almost killed you as you stood with your mouth open, if you’d been an omnic you were sure you’d have overheated and combusted. What the heck! What the Heck! Was he? No. Was he? No, surely not! He couldn’t have. That was… that was.. Did he just ask for a pic? You were blushing hard and silently staring at the words on screen before the typing bubble came up again.

Goodness!

I’m sorry for that last sentence!

I didn’t realize how that sounded!

I hope I did not upset you!

You let out a breath reading his reply, nerves calming. Of course he didn’t! Why would world famous baseball star Siebren de Kuiper want to get a pic of you in his jerseys? You were sure he could have actual models if he wanted. He didn’t need you! Oof, that was harsh, but true.

asfadaafsd haha

it’s alright!!!!!

I didn’t think anything of it

I think I’m just going to buy both, they’re both nice

You quickly replied, not wanting him to think you were upset at him. And you weren’t. Surprised, yes. But not angry. You mean, you’d totally send pics to him if he wanted, but you were sure he’d never want that. Right?

They are!

And I’m sure both will look great on you!

Your hands flexed on your phone as you gripped it a little tighter, looking at the two still unpurchased shirts. You picked up the shirts up, buying them and went to the nearest bathroom. You take off your shirt and replace it with the away shirt, leaving it a little unbuttoned, and snapped a mirror selfie, and looked at it on your phone. Cute despite the bathroom behind you. You did the same with the home shirt.

You sat on the toilet holding your phone tightly as you debated actually sending them. They weren’t very explicit but still, the implication would be carried if he really meant anything the first time around. If he meant anything. Which he probably didn’t. So these photos wouldn’t be too bad to send… right?

You bit your lip and hit send. Waiting anxiously for a reply. Your heart was racing as you waited, feeling your blood pressure rise when the typing bubbles popped up.

:) :) :)

I was right.

They do look good on you!

You erupted in a fit of giggles, nerves a little on fire, god this was the craziest thing you’ve ever done. He wasn’t finished as more texts came in,

Would you like to get them signed?

Holy fuck. Was he flirting with you? He had to be, right? Well shit, you couldn’t pass this opportunity up! You quickly typed out a reply, fingers shaking a little.

Would you?!?

Omg that would be amazing!

His reply came in instantly,

Come by entrance five in ten minutes.

I’ll gladly sign you.

You actually yelled laughed, face burning like a stove, and pumped your fist in the air. Yes. Yes. Yes. You left the bathroom insanely giddy, wearing the white home shirt, and went to look at a map of the stadium. Entrance five was the farthest from the main entrances, and from what it looked like on your phone, a part of the stadium that was going to be completely empty. You chewed your lip as you made your way over there, nerves on fire. God you hoped this was going the way you wanted it and you hadn’t just misinterpreted everything.

About twelve minutes later as you sat in the empty hallway flipping through your phone and trying to distract yourself from your racing thoughts, he walked in through the stadium side. You got up instantly as his large shadow stretched across the floor. God, he was tall. Seven feet if you remembered correctly, two feet taller than you, and broad, insanely broad, arms like pythons. He looked a bit sweaty in his baseball uniform, an outfit that hid very little on his hulking frame, and smiled at you apologetically.

“I didn’t mean to keep you waiting.” He said coolly as he walked inside.

He stepped up toward you gently, a kind smile as he held out a hand. You grasped his hand with both of yours, his hands were large, insanely, fuck, he was so much bigger than you, your mouth watered a little.

“It’s no problem, I was happy to wait!” You said nervously and a little quickly, “I’m Y/N.”

“Y/N.” He repeated in his slightly accented voice, warm and absolutely lovely, sounding a lot different than what you were used to from watching interviews. “A lovely name.”

You laughed nervously and looked off, embarrassed, “T-thank you.” you stutter out as you dropped your hands to hide in your pockets.

“So, make this out to Y/N then?” He asked, pulling a pen out of his pocket and looking at you softly. God, your heart was a puddle.

“Uhh, yeah, I guess.” You said and he hummed in agreement.

You were going to hold out a piece of your shirt out for him to sign, but instead he stepped a little closely and bent down, putting the tip down just under your shoulder. You didn’t miss the glimmer in his eye as he bent in close, holding you still a little with his big hands, and wrote delicately on your skin. You held your breath, biting your lip as the hulking mass of him was so close to you, making your head swim.

“To my loyal fan Y/N,” He said as he wrote, his tone having gone down a notch, making your skin erupt in goosebumps, “Siebren.” He signed, eyes locking with yours as he stood back up.

You laughed breathlessly, leaning on the wall behind you for support as he didn’t move back much, looming over you a bit.

“T-thank you, I, uh… thanks.” You said, biting your lip a little and fluttering your eyes.

He smirked as he leaned on the wall above you, caging you a little, though leaving enough room that if you really wanted to leave you could. He was giving you a chance to stop, maybe saving face if he also misinterpreted, this was all up to you.

You chewed your lip as he looked down at you expectantly. Your hands shook a little as they rose and gently rested against the rough fabric of his uniform over his chest. He continued watching you, eyes darkening as you hands wandered over his abdomen, feeling him up a little. He was so firm and a lot more ripped than you had thought. This man was a damn brick house.

You hesitated a little as you got lower, looking up at him for permission as your fingers got to his waistband. He smiled, his hand not propping himself against the wall raising to grasp your smaller ones and gently pushing you lower himself, right over his half hard on.

He huffed hotly as you made contact with him through his pants and you couldn’t help the little whine that escaped your throat. You felt him up, mouth watering a bit at the feel of the size of him, only half hard it was already bigger than the length of your hand. You groped and stroked him through his pants, pulling a few groans from him for the effort, but as he got harder he stopped you.

“Enough of that.” He said a little strained, voice heavy with lust as he patted your greedy hands away.

He stood up a little, no longer leaning over you for a moment as both hands went to undo his belt as your hands rested on his large thighs, you mind momentarily filled with the image of you straddling these thick slabs of meat. When he finally pulled himself from his pants, just as long and thick as you always imagined.You licked your lips and looked up at him, his face red, sweaty and eyes looking at you hungrily, it made you shiver in excitement. Fuck, you wanted him to come undone.

Without any prompting you bent down and kissed his cockhead as you slid onto your knees, earning a breathless word in dutch. You didn’t know what it was, but it sounded endearing and it stroked something inside you. He had to bend his knees a little and haunch over you, leaning his head against the wall, the height difference a little difficult while standing, but it made it all the more hotter in your opinion.

You lavished his hard cock with wet kisses and gentle stroking, going off the amazing noises he was making to get a feel for what he liked as you licked him sloppily. His dick was so hard and hot and beautiful His tasted a bit salty but he smelled really good, like grass and dirt and... chalk? It was a strangely arousing combination.

You smiled up at him as he stared at you, eyes half lidded and face red, looking a little angry and a little delirious. So handsome. Like a wet dream. You trailed a line of kisses from the underside of his base up to his tip, eyes locked with his as your lips got closer to his head, and when you did, you opened your mouth and laid his head on your tongue.

He moaned loudly, his hips canting and slipping through your hold into your mouth a little, dragging another moan out of him as you enveloped his head with your soft mouth. A hand dropped from the wall above you as it weaved itself into your hair. Your tongue swirled around his head, humming with please as he choked a little at the feel and gripped your hair a little harder.

He began to circle his hips a little, his cock slowly leaving and entering your wet mouth, getting a little deeper as he went. You just took it, drooling and moaning as he got deeper and deeper and pulled out less and less. As you got most of him in he stilled to a halt, breathing hard as you swallowed around him, looking at him with eyes full of hot tears with the stretch. Fuck, the feeling of him so deep was glorious, but he hadn’t hilted, and despite the fact he looked about to bust and you were not that sure if you could, you began bobbing your head a little to get farther.

His strangled moans where music to your ears as he didn’t stop your endeavor, burying his head in the crook of his arm against the wall as his other hand still had a tight grip in your hair. Your throat was getting raw as you mouthfucked him and you knew that you were probably depriving yourself with sufficient oxygen, but you didn’t care, the desire to please him much too large.

Finally your nose met the pubes on his groin and he held you still against him, every muscle on his body pulled taut. He was mumbling something, but it didn’t sound like English, or dutch for that matter, just pure breathless gibberish as you felt him pulse in your mouth. You focused on breathing and relaxing around him, brain too scrambled to do much else.

Everything felt so good, your nerves were so sensitive and every little sensation made you shiver in desire. The feeling of your shirt against your chest, of your pants against you groin, of his fingers in your hair, of the feeling of his thighs under your hands, it all felt so good. Fuck, having him in your throat was turning you on so much it felt like you were going to cum from this alone.

Slowly he began to rut into your mouth, using your mouth as his own little fleshlight. Fuck, it was so hot. H was breathing so hard, his thighs twitching under your hands. He was saying something now, dark and needy, spoken like demands or praises but you couldn’t understand him, couldn’t hear anything over the sound of the squelch inside your head of him fucking into your throat.

Your eyes lulled and you just moaned around him, feeling the drool spill onto the front of your shirt as he fucked you to delirium, choking you repeatedly on his cock. Suddenly he held you tight to his base and said the first words to break through the haze of lust since you started,

“Swallow.” He said through grit teeth, like you had any other choice.

The feeling of him twitching in your mouth and spilling his hot cum in the back of your throat triggered your own orgasm, and without any direct stimulation your body was wracked with a full body shiver. Your body flinched against his hold as you felt the thick liquid get forced down, but he held you steady, and before he was finished, he pulled out quickly to squirt the last of himself on your slightly swollen lips and drool covered chin.

You would have been angry if you weren’t so out of it. He hummed with please as you stared up at him through the tears in your eyes, tilting your face up to him so he could see the copious amount of cum on your tongue.

“Swallow.” He said softer than before, out of breath.

You obediently closed your mouth and swallowed, opening it again to show him and he smiled widely, petting your head.

“Goed, goed.” He purred and it made you bristle in happiness in your post orgasm state.

You stayed like that for a while, him petting you and whispering kind words as your mind slowly booted up again. As he got himself presentable again and you cleaned yourself, he helped you back onto your feet and you checked the time on your phone. 2:15? Geez, time really flew by.

You were about to alert him of this when his hand met your lower back as he lead you back toward the entrance hall, “Yes, I know.” He said with a wink.

You were confused until you actually got out and saw through the large glass windows of the entrance the sheets of rain pouring over everything. There was an alert on your phone from the ticket holder,

Delayed Game.

You looked up at him and he smiled smugly, “It seems I have a bit more time before the game.” He said with fake surprise.

“Do you have anything else you’d like to get signed?” He asked, hand still on your lower back as he lead you into the more private area of the stadium.

The fire of desire was lit again and you smiled up at him, “I still have two more shirts.” you say innocently.

He hummed and you felt his thumb rub lightly over your lower spine,

“Well, then, let’s find a pen.”

A Harmless Crush ♡

Pairing: Bucky Barnes X Reader

Summary: Assigned to the Winter Soldier by S.H.I.E.L.D to help him to accommodate to society, staying in the Avenger’s tower, and occasionally doing paperwork for STARK industries, you’ve grown close to James Buchanan Barnes, developing a crush on him in the process. So when you, reluctantly, tag along to a baseball game with the Avengers, and the kiss cam lands on you and Bucky, things get interesting.

A/N: idk but with all this Sebby Stan all over ig, I’m in the Bucky fluffy mood so and for once I’m gonna do a shy, bit of an introverted reader, explore that, so enjoy this mushy crap it’s so cute and lemme know what you think :) if you want a part two

Warning: super freaking soft, mild language cause it’s me, fluff to the max, you’ll get a toothache from the sweetness I swear

You step lightly into the Avenger’s living room, having been all but physically forced to go to this baseball game, to get out of the tower as they told you, but you refused to agree unless you could bring a book along with you. You had stuffed it in your small backpack, hanging loosely off one of your fuzzy, sweater clad shoulders, a cold day in spring. You roll up your sleeves to your forearms, sporting a pair of dark, high waisted jeans and converse along with it, Nat doing a small twirl with her finger to get you to spin for her.

“Cute. Very cute,” she wears a satisfied smile and you’re eyes are drawn over to Bucky, tucked in the corner of the room with his arms folded over his broad chest, keeping to himself, as do you. He wears his long, brunette hair back, tied in a bun, tendrils falling down the front and over his cerulean eyes, casted downwards at his scuffed, army boots, crossed over each other.

He senses a pair of eyes on him, something that has become second nature to him, the feeling of knowing when you’re being watched, but he looks up anyway, delightfully surprised to see your flushed face and e/c eyes looking over at him. Everything about you was soft, he thinks, your sweaters, your laugh, your eyes when you look at him, your smile, your heart, your features, no harsh lines or sharp angles, only soft curves and dips, like a watercolor painting gently done by someone who knew what they were doing. You’re a work of art, precious and untouchable, a Monet painting that’s even more beautiful up close. His own lips curve into a smile at the sight of you in your favorite outfit, causing you to bashfully look away, hiding in your best friend, Nat, feeling her vibrating laughter when you tuck yourself into her.

Clapping his hands together to get everyone’s attention, Tony finally speaks up, “We’re all ready, great, let’s get going.”

Steve lays his hand on Stark’s shoulder to stop him for a moment, getting his attention, “Why don’t we walk there, Tony? It’s a beautiful day, it’s not that far, and we’re missing training to-”

“Shut. The. Hell. Up. Cap,” Sam says with a warning glare in the man’s direction, having been excited for his first day off in almost a month, wanting to savor every second of it.

“If you want to walk and damage a hip, Gramps, you can, but I’m taking the car, you all do what you want, just be there by 2:00,” Tony looks down at his mortgage payment of a watch. “Which is in thirty minutes.”

Everyone disperses and Nat is the first to ask what your plan is, instinctively making you look behind you to see what Bucky will do next, finding him already looking in your direction.

“Walk with me?” he mouths from across the room, waiting to walk over to you, just as shy as you when it came to this sort of thing, he was just better at hiding it. As he did with everything else.

You barely have time to think before you’re mouthing back, Okay, smiling against your better judgement. But the smile that lights up his face in return helps make the bundle of nerves in your stomach you get around him, almost nonexistent.

~~~

“I’m kind of surprised you wanted to walk with me,” he admits after a spell of blissful silence, accompanied by woodland creatures scurrying past, couples making small talk, and trees humming along with the tune of the wind.

You snort at the absurdity of his statement, “Why? I enjoy being with you,” you risk a glance at him and he’s meeting your eyes before you can mentally prepare yourself for the emotional turmoil you’re experiencing, deciding to back track. Deny, deny, deny. “Hanging out with you. Jesus. I sounded so creepy when I said that, didn’t I?” you let out a soft breath of laughter, fuck, fuck, fuck, running a hand through your hair, tugging at the ends in frustration.

He throws his head back with a rumbling laughter that doesn’t help the butterflies in your stomach or die them down any less, only adding fuel to the fire when his fingers intentionally brush against your arm. “You didn’t, I promise. You never sound creepy, I don’t think someone as adorable as you is capable.”

You smile, color filling your face, pressing a hand to your cheeks to calm the heat flooding there. It’s the cutest thing Bucky has ever seen. “Thank you.”

He looks you at you for a moment before speaking, “No problem, doll.” Then he laughs, “And, Y/N, did you even want to go to the game today?”

You love when he says your name, so much so you’ve suddenly gotten weak in the knees, the two of you slowly walking closer to each other, sides touching every so slightly, stepping in time, on the same beat, “Not at first, no, I don’t really do...”

“Big crowds?” he cocks an eyebrow.

“Social situations,” you finish instead, tucking hair behind your ear. “And, well, that, too.”

He chuckles deeply, sending vibrations from your head to your curled toes, fiddling with a loose strand from your sweater, twirling it around your finger, “I get it. So much... you have no idea.” He doesn’t have to say anything further for you to understand what he’s implying, glancing furtively at his vibranium arm.

You touch his metal arm and he turns towards you out of reflex, the only touches he’s gotten being ones that have intentions of inflicting pain on him, but your touch is gentle and not at all ill-willed, tracing the red star painted on it, feathery light with wide eyes. You take and drink him in instead of pushing him away. He’s a real life piece of a museum, you think, and you’re fascinated.

“I think your arm is pretty cool, actually,” you pull your hand back, his eyes watching your movements cautiously. It comforts you, almost, knowing he’s just as nervous as you are, possibly even more so. “Besides... you’re not your arm or what it symbolizes, you’re you, you’re Bucky.” You laugh and shake your head, giddy all of a sudden when you look at his awestruck expression, “If that makes any sense.”

“You really think that?” his pace slows as you two arrive at the stadium’s gates, your friends waiting just on the other side.

“Of course,” you say it simply.

“Damn, doll, I could kiss you right now,” he teases you, he does that a lot, teasing you as if he knows you wish it wasn’t just teasing, but you know that’s just how he is, flirty and boyish. You brought it out in him. You just didn’t know it yet.

“Tony wouldn’t let you hear the end of it if you did,” you let him know, cursing yourself for playing along when you really need to change the subject before you spontaneously combust.

His hand presses into the small of your back when he sees the large crowds of people blocking the entrance, making you stiffen beneath him, something he notices and secretly revels in, “Ah, doll, but it’d be so worth it,” he whispers by your ear, and you feel the curl of his lips against your skin, the rumble in his voice.

“I don’t know, Stark can be pretty relentless,” you say, breath catching towards the end, when he pulls you to his side as someone almost runs into you, keeping you close. He looks behind him and glares at the man that almost pushed you down, muttering swear words under his breath.

“I can handle him,” he looks at where his hand is and you expect him to shy away, but he only grips tighter, “I’ll let go of you if you’d like.”

“No, no... you should keep doing it,” you move closer to him as you walk, locking eyes with him and he smiles, raising his eyebrows. “For safety reasons.”

“We don’t want you getting trampled, kitten,” he grins boyishly, crinkles by his eyes making a dominant appearance. “I like you in one piece if it’s all the same.”

“I’ll try not to disappoint,” you play along with an equally bright smile, looking ahead of you at your smirking friends, Clint tracing a heart around the two of you and Sam rolling his eyes so hard you’re sure he’s pulled something.

Steve and Nat cast knowing glances to each other, conspiring, no doubt. Tony gives you his best overprotective dad look and Bucky slips his hand to rest on your back once again, looking to you when everyone begins walking to the seats.

You all get to your seats, at the highest level in box seats, thanks to Stark, and the game looks as if it’s about to start. You sit down in one of the middle seats, Nat sitting on one side of you and Bucky down on the other, leaning back in his seat to get comfortable. He smiles at you when you look over and you’re met with a smirk from Nat, smug as hell.

“Don’t,” you lean back in your chair.

“Don’t what?” she leans forward to stare at you, lifting an expert eyebrow, years of practice, she’s so good at that, not letting any emotion appear in her expression, just calculated precision. She shows you what she wants you to see. “Let Bucky know you have the fattest cru-”

“Romanoff!” you clamp a hand over her mouth and she nips at your skin, causing you to pull your hand back, shaking it out.

She smiles knowingly, “I’m sure he already knows, anyway.”

“You don’t mean that.”

“Only time will tell, Y/N, enjoy the game,” her eyes glitter with ulterior motives that spark something, the match to the gasoline. She’s done something.

“Nat,” you lean towards her. “Nat, what the hell did you do?”

She ignores you, only gifting you a smile as an answer, and you’re forced to sit back in your seat, your hand right next to Bucky’s.

“Good afternoon, New York!” the announcer rolls out, voice as loud as booming thunder followed by equally thunderous laughter and applause, reminding you of an old friend of yours. “We have a very special group of guests here with us today, say hello and give a warm welcome to them for our stadium, the Avengers!”

“How cheesy,” you cross your legs, earning a light snort from Bucky, about to pull out your book to read and escape into until you see the jumbo-tron displaying you and your friends, zooming in on Sam, Clint, and Steve.

“I thought you said we were trying not to attract any attention,” Nat side-eyes Tony.

“I lied,” Tony smile, already fixing his hair.

“What do you say, folks, we make some sparks fly and put the kiss cam on a lucky couple?” the obnoxious announcer asks the crowd, earning an uproar of agreement that only amuses Tony.

The kiss cam lands on Clint and Sam for a brief moment, Clint leaning in, “Come on, boo bear.”

Sam looks at him, expression as blank as canvas, “No.”

The audience reacts with bubbling laughter, the camera falling on Natasha and Tony next. Tony has his arms spread out on either side of him with his legs crossed, subtly sliding his jet black shades down the bridge of his nose like he can’t be bothered when he sees the camera, “Oh, hi, didn’t see you there, I’m T-”

“Shut up,” Nat shoots him down with only a stare, flipping off the camera, barely glancing in its direction.

You shriek when it starts turning and instinctively tuck yourself into Bucky, him having pulled up the arm rest just before, he lets out a quiet OOF when you barrel into him, wrapping his arms around you to steady you, keeping you close. Your head buried in his chest, hoping you could just stay here for the rest of the time with no further complications.

“Doll... I might regret asking this, but what are you doing?” he whispers in your hair, just above the shell of your ear.

“I’m sorry, I panicked. I don’t like being the center of attention, not to mention an entire baseball stadium full of attention,” you whisper, muffled into his shirt.

“Then I hate to tell you, kitten, but the cam is on us right now,” he mutters and you extract yourself from out of his arm to see the entire stadium looking in the two of you’s direction, all collectively sucking in one breath.

“I think we’ve found our lucky couple, ladies and gentlemen! But, aw, they look shy, let’s give them a little encouragement, shall we?”

KISS, KISS, KISS!

“Doll,” Bucky whispers to you, both of you looking at each other and perhaps, if it weren’t for your anxiety riddled nerves at the moment, you’d kiss him yourself, for that nickname and stare alone. “We don’t have to do it.”

“I don’t know if we’d get away with that.”

His cheeks are filled with bright shades of scarlet, you almost want to laugh at that, the Winter Soldier, blushing because of you. It brings a smile to your face looking at it, and your hands are now touching, close enough to him for you see the shadows of his face and the stubble on his jaw. How gold flecks line his blown irises, tinged with icy blue and quartz.

“I’ll just kiss your cheek, then, is that alright?” he asks, tentatively, moving only slightly closer as the crowd grows impatient. You nod slowly.

He leans forward and presses a soft kiss to the corner of your jaw, missing your cheek and you feel his lips curl against your skin at the way your face heats up beneath him, gripping his hand.

“You seem to have enjoyed that,” he whispers by your ear once again.

“Come on, lovebirds, give us a real kiss! We won’t leave you alone until you do it,” and the chanting rises up again, started up by your instigating friends.

“To be honest, I didn’t want it to happen like this,” he mumbles, his chest rising and falling, eyes trained on your mouth.

“For what to happen?” you say, but he doesn’t hear you, and it might as well be summer, you’re burning under your clothes, forehead laden with nervous sweat and you’re lost for breath.

He half smiles, “Me kissing you.”

You grin, burning brightly, about to question it further until you’re drowned out by the rest of the stadium, in need of their fix of drama you haven’t yet supplied them with. Bucky finally just slides his hand to the back of your neck, cradling your head in the palm of his hand, tangling fingers in your hair when he pulls you to him, his lips colliding with yours, simply, completely, and mind-numbingly well.

The crowd cheers but you’ve drowned them out, hearing only the loud thumping of blood pounding in your ears, his calloused hands on your skin, and the intoxicating scent of his cologne. And you know you need to pull away, but the man is taking you apart and putting you back together all at once, you’re frozen in place. He’s reached into your chest and has made your heart beat for you when it has stopped on its own. The questions that have plagued your mind in the months of knowing the ex-assassin, all finally answered with one painfully complicated action.

His thumb brushes over your cheekbone and traces a star into your skin, marking you as his, like the one on his arm, taking his time to kiss you sweetly and as masterfully as possible. And his tongue, his tongue, sinfully drawing over your bottom lip and luring out your own, fighting for dominance that you’ve already given unto him. You’ve fallen into and for him, unable to resurface. But you’re not sure you want to. Because there’s a reason it’s falling in love, it’s sudden, abrupt, and scary, and it’s just hit you now how seriously and far you’ve fallen. It’s the grand canyon of loves.

And the kiss was only thirty seconds.

The applause that follows you breaking away with a gasp is close to deafening, Nat being one of the loudest right by your ear, but you’re staring at him, his swollen, pink mouth, flushed cheeks, and mussed up hair, busy and ruffled from your wandering hands.

“Now, that is what I’m talking about, ladies and gentlemen. Give it up for the loving couple! That was one steamy kiss.”

“Indeed it was,” Nat says smugly, smirking to herself.

He searches your eyes and smiles apprehensively, reaching out to swipe his thumb over your bottom lip, trying to make sure this really happened, “I think we need to talk.”

You nod quickly, “I think we do.”

You were so fired.

Introduction, Implementations, Current & Possible Future Applications of Artificial Intelligence for Hybridization & Management of HEV (Hybrid electric vehicle) system

I. INTRODUCTION TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EV

Artificial Intelligence can be stated as the Augmentation of natural humans senses by computational systems which can be used to help a device embedded in a system or the system as a whole to think various possible solutions to the provided data or to manipulate those data to form something more sensible in order to handle many real world complex problems, involving imprecision, uncertainty and vagueness, high-dimensionality. Fundamental stimulus to the research and development of hybrid electric system is for the need of system to be self-aware and be capable to manage various variables & constraints of predefined & simulated conditions while working in the real world. The Integration of AI(Artificial Intelligence) is for distinct methodologies that can be done in various form, either by a modular integration of two or more intelligent methodologies, which maintains the identity of each methodology, or by fusing one methodology into another, or by transforming the knowledge representation in one methodology into another form of representation, characteristic to another methodology.

Artificial Intelligence powered systems are embedded inside of current electric vehicles in order to revolutionize the way various control systems manage the data flow coming out of the various embedded sensors and actuators through data extraction with the On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) system or ECU and can be used to alert the driver to any impending distortion in the vehicle system or components or else assist the user while commuting under various driving conditions to keep the overall performance of vehicle to the optimal possible degree.

Various types of Implementations of AI in HEV:

POWER SPLITTING - Hybrid systems can be instructed to split the required power between the EV components and ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) to meet the specified needs like fuel consumption, efficiency, performance, and emissions. The power splitting phenomenon, which is the key point of hybridization, is in fact, the control strategy or energy management of the hybrid automobile. Performance of the system, therefore, depends on the control strategy which needs to be robust (independent from uncertainties and always be stable) and reliable.

REAL TIME DATA MANAGEMENT: In order to improve the hybrid drive system, the control strategy should always be adaptive to keep track of all the demands of changes from the driver or drive cycle for optimization purposes. In order to fulfil these conditions, there is a need to develop an efficient control strategy, which can split power based on demands of the driver and driving conditions. Hence, for optimal energy management of in an HEV, interpretation of driver command and driving situation is most important.

RANGE EXTENDER : Although electric vehicles nowadays already have been provided with the R.E (range extender) technology mounted on them in order to assist the driver to cover reasonable length of distance after most the energy present in the batteries run out but upon controlling that range extender technology with the help of an AI can result in improved battery consumption economy and improvised drive patterns along with quick and efficient powertrain rotation, etc in order the improve the overall distance that vehicle is supposed to meant to cover.

AI ASSISTED OR SELF DRIVING AI TECHNOLOGY: The use of Artificial Intelligence to command a vehicle to drive on its own in real time along the traffic from one point to another using tons of pre-processed and simulated driving pattern’s data also with vehicle’s own real time cognitive response to the outside environment by embedded sensors and actuators accumulated while driving in order to assist the driver reach his/her destination while taking in consideration of various safety measures for both the people sitting inside the vehicles and also outside is the prime goal of developing self-driving technology.

360-DEGREE PERCEPTION TECHNOLOGY: Hybrid electric vehicles are being designed and developed not only to work with complex driving patterns or conditions on the road but also to mind their conditional surroundings such to the activate the stop function as a pedestrian suddenly decides to cross the road or also when there’s an unexpected deposition of roadblocks or traffic guidance structures commonly referred as “Channelizing devices” which comprises of cones or drums usually found nearby the construction zones or to guide the traffic stream en route towards that direction to any other alternative route. So, the AI is being used to generate accurate and precise 360-degree perception to its surrounding environment in order to improve functionality and prevent any fatality or accidents. The drivers are the leading cause of critical pre-crash events when compared to the other factors such as vehicle, environment or other. Research points out that most of the vehicles crashes occurs due to event recognition & decision error prior to crash rather than performance errors. The AI technology obviously will be able to understand and react more efficiently and quickly in order to ensure those conditions do not occurs which will lead to disastrous crashes and hence eventually prevent fatalistic automobile crash cases and save lives.

II. UNDERSTANDING OF THE TOPIC The Artificial Intelligence technology possesses and provides a wide range of natural human perspective on various problems encountered by us, filter all of those information based on the current provided conditions and provides us with the best possible logical output by using various pre-processed or real time processing of computational data gathered by the sensors and actuators working with various deep learning algorithms and delivers data or act with respect to possible event predictive techniques to improve the overall vehicle performance. AI which is to be implemented in HEVs plays a tremendous role in converting that vehicle into AGVs(Automated Guided Vehicles) or simply to assist the driver while travelling from point A to point B in numerous possible ways starting from the battery management systems, navigation through the geographic location of the vehicle, assistance in following the traffic guidelines set by higher authority, preventing poor decision making by the driver under harsh road conditions, etc. As AI is designed based on our own natural understanding of the surroundings and knowledge generated by us combined with the powerful data analysing tools and computational softwares it will be hugely beneficial for us to implement this deep learning algorithm guided softwares to power the hardwares of our electric vehicles and generate higher pile of data as feedback to the AI systems in order to record and analyse various driving patterns and conditions of various groups of people, study their decision making pattern, their demands with the infotainment systems, range expectations and eventually develop a better intelligence system able to sustain their demands according to the constraints set by them. AI-powered softwares in the automotive sectors with the help of cloud connection will not just gather real-time data, but also store it for analytics and statistics. In combination with permanent access to real-time updates that are recorded every single second, AI can detect activity that is impeding a car’s performance or analyze the potential failure scenario and prevent it. The best thing about it is that AI in your car software doesn’t complicate the user experience whatsoever. All the inner check-ins happen with no human interaction, and a driver would be bothered only in case you have to step up.

III. NEED FOR RESEARCH NEED OF AI IN HYBRIDIZATION

The need of AI-powered systems in the process of Hybridization & Management of HEVs using range of CPUs & GPUs on it responsible for processing all those data in real time and taking absolute essential decisions is very much important in order to widen our perspective towards the ways of commuting in our everyday life. AI working through what we term as machine learning is actually supervised learning where humans are creating and wide variety of labels to the outside surroundings and compiling at the data and using them to solve other similar possible scenarios where similar labels or elements of environment is found and then use the previously acquired data to tackle current problems and using current problem’s data to tackle future problematic scenarios and so on.

DEEP LEARNING: In case of deep learning the inputs that are being recorded through the various cameras mounted on the vehicles are in the form of raw pixels that are to be taken into account in order to form an architecture which will create dozens or even hundreds of layers of neurons yielding millions of parameters to fit into the program which will eventually provide us with numerous key insights in the form of lots of data & lots of cycles along with careful tuning of the data & cycles to turn into successful learning algorithm.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE OF AI IN HEV: The System Architecture of a HEV when is designed to work with the AI will first and foremost take the input destination specified by the driver and begins the process of routing wherein it calculates the total estimated distance between the starting point and the ending point along with the best possible route to get there keeping track of the real-time traffic conditions or personalized conditions set by the drivers by adding stops in-between the current location & final destination according to their designated needs. After AI gets done with the routing process it begins the process of motion planning which is the process of utmost importance as here the system takes in various data which is collected through Devices and Sensors such as LiDAR(Light detection and Ranging), GPS(Global Positioning System), RADAR(Radio detection and Ranging), IMU(Inertial Measurement unit), Cameras and Encoders which are being used for mapping and localizing the position of the vehicle with respect to it’s surrounding to create a very logical perception of the on-going traffic conditions and guide the vehicle from Point A to Point B by producing best possible predictions based on the data collected through Imitation Learning & Smart Cognitive responses generated through Computational softwares provided on board the vehicle.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS: Performance Analysis using AI technology can result in monumental development which can lead to improved performance of the vehicle and timely maintenance alerts being provided to the driver. With the help of new computational softwares & pre-processed data which consists of tons of previously logged data acquired through simulation and real time track testing the vehicle can be designed to be self-aware and capable of handling the situations of its surroundings prior to its launch. The vehicles are deployed in small numbers for testing it under various types of environment variables and then finally the vehicles are deployed in fleet wide numbers.

IV.PROS AND CONS OF AI IN HEV

When we start to think radically about the principles and aspects of AI in order to separate the Pros & Cons associated with its implementation in the AI industry in particular, the weight is far more heavier on the positive end of that spectrum but that doesn’t give us permission to not overhaul the entire system looking for elements that still needs to get worked on in some alternative way in order to carry & deliver the better outcome. Every aspects of intelligence in terms of principles holds the potential within themselves to precisely deducted and get described so that a machine can be constructed in order to simulate them.

PROS OF AI IN HEV:

AVAILABILITY AROUND THE CLOCK 24/7: The emerging AI technology is designed to work based on the cloud network infrastructure tirelessly around the clock and still provide the most accurate and precise results at any given time interval. We need not to develop a routine revolving around active and inactive state of AI as in order to cooperate with them, but the AI technology is available to each one of us around the clock to use as per our schedule dictates. So, while using AI in HEVs we need not to worry about its availability to us with respect to time because its functionality is just sublime around the clock 24/7.

HELPS IN REDUCING HUMAN ERROR: There are certain times when we wish for someone who is much more intelligent, efficient & also quick to do our work because humans cannot always be accurate with their results while dealing with sensitive data or while computing large piles of data consisting of large number of variations and constraints. It is even harder to provide precise readings using real time data as you’re working with respect to the time and the data always changes over time, for example predicting weather forecast based on the current data cannot determine with absolute certainty that it’s going to rain tomorrow. So, here’s where AI come into play and does the math for us by using complex computational methodologies and compiling the data at a much faster and accurate rate than humans and hence reducing the scope of errors and distortion in the output. Using AI technologies in HEVs will ensure proper cooperation between each and every components such as sensors, actuators, battery management systems, fuel management system, maintenance system, infotainment system, traffic alert system, etc in a well designed algorithm and runs things more smoothly and precisely providing us with the optimal results.

PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE USING AI: The proper functionality of a vehicle is always dependent of various elements embedded inside the system. To always ensure the proper functionality of these components inside a system we need a very defined system organized, interlinked and responsive to the driver all at any given time. So, with the help of artificial intelligence technology we can ensure better monitoring of all these system components guiding the system all together and keeping the vehicle in pristine conditions by alerting us about the timely maintenance updates by predicting the need with the help of artificial cognitive response system working with various devices distributed all around the vehicle to provide us with best possible detailed reports about them on a regular basis and also sometimes takes care of things on their own with asking the driver to step up and get out of their comfort zone to get the specified error fixed. This system will help automotive manufacturers to eventually provide the best possible service in least amount of time as they will receive update on the vehicle’s condition prior to the driver’s visit to the workshop and allow them to take least amount of time to tackle it and get that vehicle back on the road with optimal functionality.

AI DRIVING: Nowadays the vehicles which are being manufactured are being provided with everything they need to have to deliver best performance but by including an autonomous system designed to control the flow of all that data and understand the responses generated through them can enable to the system to take place as the driver of the vehicle or function as an assistant to help the owners or drivers of those vehicles to sit back and enjoy the ride as the system itself will do all the work for them. Starting from blind-spot monitoring in case of a hard turn, the emergency braking system which will ensure proper timing of the activation of braking system to prevent disastrous events, cross-traffic detectors which can study & generate a logical perspective of the surrounding traffic and predict necessary route to ensure safe driving conditions, alert the emergency response unit or the driver itself in case the driver nods off in the vehicle unwillingly, etc. This autonomy in HEVs with the help of AI can result for decline in fatalistic cases all around the world and improve one’s perspective towards safe driving pattern and improvement in decision making and responsiveness.

CONS OF AI IN HEV:

HIGH COST OF IMPLEMENTATION: The rate at which the AI industry is progressing it is projected to reach $169.41 billion dollar industry by 2025. The implementation and manufacturing of high-end industry components which are to be subjected to work in correlation with AI technology will cost most of the consumers a fortune. Just as when any new technology is introduced, the prices of the products generated through them or with them skyrockets in the market similarly to make use of the current AI technology will remain to cost most of us a huge pile of money. Although the driver will be able to reap the benefits in a very simplified way and also they will be able to choose from Semi-AI mode (AI-Assist) or fully Autonomous vehicle which can provide the option to the customers to choose their vehicle of choice according to their budget still the industry will take some time to make these high-end technologies more affordable and conceivable by everyone.

AUTONOMY IN HEVs WILL PROMOTE LACKADAISICAL BEHAVIOURAL PATTERN IN FUTURE DRIVING COUNTERPARTS: The autonomous future of driving HEVs using AI surely guarantees safe & secure driving experience with numerous other incentives of having a smarter & reasonably self-sufficient system along with decline in possible human errors while driving but on the other hand it is also going to promote lethargic nature towards driving with respect to time as the continuum in advancement of AI will lead to fully autonomous driving and will not require drivers to assist them in any way. Customers will only use their vehicle just as any regular product just to meet their necessity and will remain idle during the travel period. It will also lead to decline in their understanding and importance of responsiveness and dependency on autonomous system will rise.

Oil companies told to stop drilling now to save the planet In order to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050, the influential group said in a report Tuesday that investment in new fossil fuel supply projects must stop immediately, and no new coal-fired plants should be approved. The dramatic recommendations are part of a detailed strategy that the IEA says would result in the world achieving the Paris climate agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels. Why 1.5 degrees? Experts have repeatedly warned that exceeding the threshold will contribute to more extreme weather, greater sea level rise, wildfires, floods and food shortages for millions of people. Immediate stop to new gas and oil projects. No new sales of fossil fuel boilers starting in 2025. Electric vehicles make up more than 60% of car sales by 2030. No sales of new internal combustion engine passenger cars by 2035. The global electricity sector reaches net-zero emissions by 2040. 70% of electricity generation from solar and wind by 2050. There are major economic benefits to be had, according to the IEA. If the world follows the group’s roadmap, annual energy investment would surge to $5 trillion by 2030 from $2.3 trillion in recent years, adding 0.4 percentage points to global GDP growth. The IEA is best known for authoritative reports on energy supplies and its advice to many of the world’s most powerful economies. That makes it harder for skeptics to dismiss its findings. Dave Jones, global program lead at climate group Ember, said it marks a “major shift” for the IEA to “fully embrace the challenge of 1.5 degrees.” “They have made this change because it’s demanded by politicians — politicians across the world are serious about 1.5 degrees, and they need the support of the IEA to deliver on it,” said Jones. President Joe Biden has committed the United States to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 50%-52% below its 2005 emissions levels by 2030, for example. Britain, Japan and Canada have also unveiled new goals. Some energy companies are preparing for a future in which oil and gas are a much smaller part of their business. European giants Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA) and BP are moving in this direction, for example, and are ahead of the US rivals. BP (BP) has even said that demand for oil may have peaked in 2019. Exxon Mobil (XOM) is among the laggards. Late last year, it said that it would spend up to $25 billion a year through 2025 on capital investments and oil and gas exploration even after the pandemic sharply reduced demand for its products. Jones said the IEA report signals “the start of the end” for the oil and gas industry. “It shows that any new fossil investment is made knowing it is inconsistent with a 1.5 degree world,” he added. Investors are already taking action against Exxon. The company is facing a proxy fight by an activist group called Engine No. 1, which has nominated four candidates to its board and argues it needs to move faster on climate. On Monday, the advisory firm Glass Lewis recommended that shareholders elect two of the four nominees put forward by Engine No. 1. “Electing even a portion of Engine 1’s slate would send a clear message of shareholder dissatisfaction with Exxon’s recent direction and strategy,” Glass Lewis said, according to Reuters. It also said that Exxon’s energy transition plan was “generally insufficient and lacking in key areas.” Mark your calendar: Exxon’s annual shareholder meeting is May 26. Even more scale! Monday’s edition of Before the Bell was all about scale. Some media companies have it (Disney (DIS), Netflix (NFLX)), and others need it (WarnerMedia and Discovery Communications (DISCA)). Right on cue: Amazon is reportedly in talks to buy MGM, the vaunted film studio that was a staple of Hollywood’s Golden Age. The studio could be valued at between $7 billion and $10 billion, according to The Information, which cited a person familiar with the situation. The New York Times and the Financial Times have also reported the talks. Amazon (AMZN) did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CNN Business. MGM could not be reached. Reports have circulated for years that Amazon has wanted to buy a big entertainment property to bolster its streaming video service. A studio makes sense because MGM projects could find a home on Prime Video. Amazon doesn’t release a lot of specifics about Prime Video. But the umbrella Prime offering now has more than 200 million paid subscribers, the company revealed during its most recent earnings report, adding that streaming hours on Prime Video are up more than 70% over last year. Business travel has disappeared. Will it ever come back? For countless executives and salespeople, business trips have been a bedrock of corporate life. Employees needed to fly to meet clients, drum up new business and grab some face time with the boss at headquarters. Then came the coronavirus pandemic, which grounded travelers and forced companies to find news ways of doing things. Zoom replaced face to face meetings, even if there is something awkward about video chats. Phone calls filled the gaps. Clients stayed clients, deals got done and revenue rolled in. Now, with coronavirus restrictions easing in many countries, the question is how quickly business travel will rebound, and whether the pandemic and efforts to address the accelerating climate crisis will prevent the lucrative sector from ever making a complete recovery. Road warriors will themselves play a crucial role in determining whether business class is full or mostly empty, as they negotiate a return to corporate life after more than a year working from home. Some — or many — could balk at missing out on date night or their kids’ football game. “For a lot of people, frequent business travel has become more of a burden than a perk,” said Scott Cohen, a professor at the University of Surrey, told my CNN Business colleague Will Godley. Investor insight: A weak recovery in business travel would be troubling for airlines, which have already seen their finances stretched to breaking point by the pandemic. While corporate travelers represent just 12% of passengers, on some flights they can generate as much as 75% of profit, according to PwC.
