The purpose of this draft Technical Report is to provide applied research insights on an open-source implementation of a Digital Product Passport (DPP) system for ICT goods as products in a market, goods in B2B supply chain flows or things (in IoT terms). By analyzing an electronic device use case, the Technical Report provides applied research insights and a case study on open-source technologies for DPP systems. It can help standards developers and product designers identify emerging technologies and research work on DPP systems for IoT and smart sustainable cities and communities (SSC&C) that are relevant for standardization in a global market of physical or virtual entities (ICT products or services).

This draft Recommendation identifies requirements and defines a system architecture for Digital Product Passports in the ICT goods sector that links ICT goods to their digital passports across their lifecycle, from manufacturing and distribution to use, repair, reuse, and end-of-life. The draft Recommendation takes into account that DPPs for ICT goods can: integrate supply-chain transparency data (e.g., UNTP DPP); capture real-time lifecycle data from factory and IoT sensors; support trusted, verifiable, and interoperable sharing of DPP information across stakeholders; and enable the use of digital twin approaches for ICT goods to enhance smart services and circular economy practices. The draft Recommendation is intended to facilitate regulatory compliance (e.g., EU DPP under the "Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation" regulation), promote interoperability across ICT supply chains, and support smart sustainable cities and communities.

This standard defines a basic data model, data exchange format, and application framework of semantic maps for autonomous robots based on the requirements from use cases in IEEE Standard P3140.1.

This standard defines additional requirements for the Autonomous Robot (AuR) ontology to address reasoning on multiple robots and extending the baseline ontology defined in IEEE 1872.2-2021. Ontological concepts and domain-specific axioms are defined for (a) representation, reasoning, and behaviors for autonomy, (b) multiple autonomous robots, (c) artificial intelligence and machine learning for autonomous robots, (d) affordances. The standard also describes use cases and case studies for the design of AuR.

IEEE/IEC Draft International Standard - Assessment of Power Density of Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Fields from Wireless Devices in Close Proximity to the Head and Body (Frequency Range of 6 GHz to 300 GHz) Part 4: Computational Procedures for Absorbed Power Density

This document specifies computational procedures for conservative and reproducible computations of the absorbed power density (APD) or epithelial power density, which is a measure to quantify the dissipated electromagnetic power in the human head or body due to exposure to radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic field (EMF) transmitting devices. The computational procedures described are finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) and finite element methods (FEM), which are used to determine electromagnetic quantities by solving Maxwell's equations. The procedures specified here apply to exposure evaluations for the significant majority of the population during the use of hand-held and body-worn RF transmitting devices with known uncertainty. The methods apply to devices with single or multiple transmitters or antennas that operate with their radiating structure(s) at distances up to 200 mm from the human head or body. This document can be employed to evaluate compliance with applicable APD limits of different types of RF transmitting wireless communication devices used in close proximity to the head and body, with or without RF transmitting or non-transmitting accessories, or of devices embedded in garments. The overall applicable frequency range of the specified protocols and procedures is from 6 GHz to 300 GHz. The categories of wireless communication devices covered in this document include mobile telephones, radio transmitters in personal computers, desktop and laptop devices, and multi-band and multi-antenna devices. The procedures of this document do not apply to APD evaluation of electromagnetic fields emitted or altered by devices or objects intended to be implanted in the body.
