A Real Engineering Challenge – Artificial Red Blood Cells
When you’re thinking about “what can we do next”, you can think big or you can think small – very, very small. Robert Freitas at the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing (IMM) has such an idea – artificial red blood cells (RBCs). These would be nano-machines which could augment the oxygen and carbon dioxide carrying capacity of … Read More
IoT implementation and Challenges!
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects—devices, vehicles, buildings and other items which are embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data. Implementing this concept is not an easy task by any measure for many reasons… Read More
Does the Internet of Things need new Artificial Intelligence?
Judging by the number of confusing posts, blogs and articles on this topic, anyone exploring the potential of what the IOT can deliver to their business/organisation can be forgiven for thinking that the IOT will need a new set of AI technologies to work correctly. Throw into the mix the hype that the IOT will need big data analytics… Read More
Internet of Things : Realizing Business Value through Platforms, Data Analytics & Visualization
Over the past few years of being immersed in the Internet of Things (IoT), I have found that customers have very specific problems they are trying to solve; e.g. gaining energy efficiency, early fault detection or remote diagnosis and maintenance of equipment. Decisions are driven by the need to reduce Operational Expenditure… Read More
Low end LTE UE categories seeing more action
Most of our attention goes toward the higher end of the LTE UE categories – ones designed for moving large amounts of multimedia data from smartphones and tablets concurrently with voice traffic. An equally interesting discussion is taking shape at the low end of the LTE UE categories targeting M2M and IoT devices with power-efficient,… Read More
Let’s Reduce Wasted Energy in Server Farms
With the growth in streaming video and the promises of 50 billion IoT gadgets making our lives oh-so-much better, there is an alarming demand for online computational horsepower and bandwidth.
Why alarming? In 2014, data centers in the United States consumed approximately 100 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy. According… Read More
Here is what ‘‘Internet of Things’’ will do for Intelligent Transportation
Transportation sector is growing, and we can already see that a fleet of autonomous, shared vehicles – connected to the road infrastructure, to the Internet and to a broader network of public transit options – will create incredible value. The transport sector is trying its level best to improve the safety, reliability, and cost… Read More
Keeping an ‘Open’ Mind with Technology
Software and hardware vendors are developing proprietary products and technologies to tap into the massive potential business opportunity with Internet of Things (IoT). While most of the noise is around consumer driven IoT, commercial applications for IoT are making huge financial impact in many verticals. Buildings alone… Read More
