Feel the Rotor: Convert Edge's AI-Driven Haptic Feedback for Helicopter Simulation
- Details
At Convert Edge, we're pushing the boundaries of immersive simulation, transforming theoretical models into visceral experiences. Our latest breakthrough targets a critical, yet often overlooked, aspect of flight training: haptic feedback for helicopter simulation. The subtle vibrations, jolts, and resistive forces that a pilot feels through the controls and airframe are not just environmental noise—they are crucial sensory cues that inform decision-making, detect impending dangers, and build muscle memory.

Beyond Signatures: The Dawn of Predictive Cybersecurity with AI
- Details
The digital landscape is a battlefield, and traditional cybersecurity defenses are often playing catch-up. Rule-based Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems, while foundational, are inherently reactive. They excel at detecting known threats, but when faced with novel, sophisticated attacks – the "zero-days" and Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) that quietly infiltrate networks over weeks or months – they often fall silent.
Beyond the Black Box: Building a Transparent Algorithmic Bidding System
- Details
The world of programmatic advertising is often referred to as a "black box". For media buyers, this obscurity creates a fundamental problem: a lack of transparency into where their ad dollars are being spent and whether that spend is effective. As much as 35% of ad spend can be lost to non-viewable or fraudulent traffic, a technological issue rooted in a fragmented data landscape and a lack of unified data standards.
Beyond the Cookie: Building a Privacy-First Data Pipeline with AI
- Details
The internet is at a crossroads. With the deprecation of third-party cookies and the rise of global data privacy regulations, the traditional methods of digital analytics are becoming obsolete. For many companies, this has created a critical trade-off: either they maintain user privacy by collecting only basic, aggregated data, or they risk compliance and data utility by relying on less-than-ideal tracking methods. Our team chose a different path. We set out to prove that it’s possible to build a custom web development solution that provides rich, actionable insights while making privacy a core, non-negotiable feature.
The Future of Custom Web Development: A Proactive Approach to SEO
- Details
For years, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has been a reactive discipline. Most existing tools function like a rear-view mirror, analyzing what has already happened to help teams diagnose past performance issues. But what if you could see what was coming? What if your custom web development project could proactively adapt to search engine algorithm changes and shifting user intent before they occur? Our team addressed this fundamental technological uncertainty, building a new kind of system that moves SEO from a reactive challenge to a proactive advantage.
Architecting a New Class of Distributed Systems
- Details
In the world of microservices, we're all familiar with the promise: independent, scalable, and manageable services. But beneath the surface, a monster lurks—the challenge of maintaining data consistency across a distributed system. Asynchronous, event-driven architectures offer high availability but often at the cost of strong consistency, leading to data integrity issues that can be a developer's worst nightmare.
Turbocharging Python Multiprocessing: Say Goodbye to IPC Bottlenecks with Shared Memory
- Details
Python's multiprocessing module is a powerful tool for leveraging multi-core processors and boosting the performance of CPU-bound tasks. However, when processes need to share significant amounts of data, the standard Inter-Process Communication (IPC) mechanisms like pipes and queues can become a major bottleneck. The culprit? The overhead of constantly serializing, deserializing, and copying data between processes via the kernel.
Beyond Pass/Fail: How Convert Edge is Building the Future of Adaptive Mobile Security
- Details
At Convert Edge, our technological team is constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible in mobile technology. Today, we're excited to pull back the curtain on a groundbreaking R&D project that's set to redefine what security means for high-stakes mobile applications.
How Convert Edge Unconventionally Leveraged Keras and TensorFlow for Dynamic Project Forecasting
- Details
Traditional applications of deep learning frameworks like Keras and TensorFlow in time-series forecasting typically involve processing clean, regularly sampled numerical data – think stock prices, sensor readings, or weather patterns. Their strength lies in identifying temporal patterns within these straightforward sequences. However, Convert Edge faced a far more intricate challenge: predicting completion timelines for highly dynamic IT projects, characterized by non-linear interdependencies, fluctuating resource allocations, and emergent technical debt. This complexity demanded an unconventional approach to data modeling and, consequently, to how Keras and TensorFlow were employed.

Is Your Application Ready for the Real World? Convert Edge on Self-Optimizing Communication in Dynamic Networks
In an increasingly connected world, many modern applications, especially those leveraging Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), rely on seamless communication between mobile devices and edge servers[cite: 59]. However, these communication channels are often far from stable. Users move, network congestion ebbs and flows, and interferences can cause drastic fluctuations in bandwidth (from over 100Mbps down to less than 5Mbps), round-trip times (RTTs from 15ms to over 300ms), and packet loss (sometimes exceeding 10%)[cite: 61]. For applications performing critical tasks like real-time AI inference on an edge server with user interaction on a mobile device, this volatility can be a significant hurdle[cite: 59, 61]. At Convert Edge, we've delved deep into solving this challenge, pioneering novel frameworks for applications that can intelligently adapt their communication strategies on the fly.
