...Bluetooth Technology Description of Technology Bluetooth technology was invented in 1994 by a group of engineers at Ericsson, a Swedish owned company. The technology was actually named later on after a 10th century Danish King, King Harald Blatand. The name Blatand means blue tooth in English. Bluetooth technology was designed to eliminate the cables and cords. Bluetooth technology operates via radio transmissions in the ISM band at 2.4 to 2.485GHZ. Bluetooth uses a spread spectrum, frequency hopping, full duplex signal at 1600 hops per second. This 2.4 GHZ band is unlicensed and available in most countries. Impacts of Bluetooth Technology 1. Bluetooth has made a tremendous impact on home security. Peep is a new Bluetooth peephole. This peephole will take a picture when someone knocks on the door and then sends it to your smartphone. BeOn Home is a smart lightbulb made to deter burglars but also will come on in the event of power outage or smoke alarm. This bulb also employs a Bluetooth mesh network to extend the range throughout the house. There is a smart deadbolt called, Danalock Smart Lock. This deadbolt can be operated from your smartphone and has a variety of design and control scheme options. 2. Probably one of the better and most important impacts of Bluetooth is in the automotive industry. With Bluetooth you can pair your phone to your car and go hands free on answering calls. Some of your autos allow you to sync your contacts and even text via speech. Bluetooth...

...The world population keeps growing, cities are becoming bigger. Right now we are living in the era of the information age; we are surrounded by thousands of devices, tons of people require more personalized services and devices at lower prices. The only way to catch up with these is through technology. In just a few years, driving a car would become a sport rather than using it as transportation. Companies would be able to provide their customers personalized products, that can really fit their needs at a low cost. These and many other innovations are about to come thank to the M2M communication, big data and the wide range of products that have been creating as a result of these technologies. The new devices offer us an incredible amount of new opportunities and possibilities beyond our imagination. I can imagine a near future being able tell my car by using my voice of where I want to go. By using GPS technology and internet to receive information of the information of the traffic report, analyzing the conditions of possible routes and checking shortcuts, or taking into account the fact that I need to fill the tank; the computer inside the car, after reading and calculating all these variables, it is going to come up with the best solution for you. During this process the system will interact with a lot of sources and it's going to be connected with many sensors and networks. Now we can consider some other factors that can make this technological innovation a little bit more...

...Electronic Paper Jason C ITT Technical Institute I decided to my research paper of new technology in my field on Electronic Paper. Electronic paper is one of many new technologies that are being developed in today’s new technology world. Everything is getting smaller and lighter weight and more mobile. The concept behind electronic paper is sheets of thin material that are the size of a sheet of paper, which can display a newspaper article, a book, or magazine and then be updated to new material at the click of a button. Although it sounds like a lot of the e-reader device technologies that are already on the market now, the difference in this technology is that the paper will be lightweight, flexible and require a lot less power to operate then today’s modern devices. The main concept of the electronic paper is to have billions of balls, each measuring one-tenth of a millimeter and have them sandwiched between sheets of clear flexible plastic with ultra-thin transistors to direct the balls in to the words or pictures needed. Each of the two companies involved, Xerox Palo Alto Research Center on the West Coast of California, and on the East Coast is eInk found by a professor and two students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab, have their own different designs on how the balls will actually form the words or an image of what you are reading. As of now the electronic paper designs can only show black and white, although both companies are working...

...New Technology in my Field The article that I chose is on how New Intel vPro Technology enhances security, adds automatic tune ups and thinks for itself. This technology consists of a more energy efficient combination of Intel quad-core or dual processors the new Intel Q45 Express Chipset and Intel 82567 Gigabit Network Connection and Intel Active Management Technology 5.0. This technology allows for a more controlled or streamlined type of maintenance for your PC. Some of the new business-class innovations allow great features. This new version of Intel vPro allows IT organizations to extend their reach to protect and manage PC’s beyond the corporate firewall. Also the new Remote Alert feature allows an ailing PC experiencing symptoms outside of preset parameters to call for IT assistance on its own even if it is turned off. Intel also beefed up access security with two new features. The new Access monitor feature logs IT activity on systems more securely and comprehensively further slimming the margin for security breaches. The platform offers the first embedded technology to authenticate PC’s using Microsoft Network Access Protection allowing protected out-of-band maintenance on Intel vPro based systems. The new Remote Scheduled Maintenance feature allows IT administrators to program PC’s for regular tune ups by automatically connecting to an IT management program for maintenance. The new Fast Call for Help feature enables the user to get immediate assistance over an...

...New Technology (Smart Watches) GS1145: Strategies for the Technical Professional By the end of this you would have learned about one of the newest technologies that will be available in 2014. I will give a description in detail about the new smart watches, their capabilities and the different manufacturers. The Smart watch was originally created by a San Francisco based company named Pebble which created the first prototype and released it in 2012. The original prototype was not very popular because of the glitches it had and the fact that it was not very durable at the time. Also because of the fact that most banks would not buy into the watch, the company had to raise money just to make the prototype. Small no name companies stepped in and started to give money until Pebbles was able to raise its first $100,000 and since then have now raised 5 million dollars to market the first 300,000 watches that are now in circulation. Companies like Martian, Fitbit and now Casio, Nike and Samsung have got involved in trying to perfect the watch. The Smart Watch currently needs to have a smartphone close by so that it can connect to Bluetooth and operate properly. Once connected to your cellphone, it will allow you to read text messages, alarms and alerts, connect to the weather and also be able to connect to GPS, so that you do not have to look at our cellphone while driving. The watches cost very from $14.99 and can reach as much as $400.00 depending on the maker, size, style and...

...New Technology in my field ITT Technical Institute TB133P Strategies For The Technical Professional Unit 2 Assignment 2 Cloud Storage Security The need to reduce costs and enable IT respon¬siveness to business change is driving more and more applications, including critical ones, to various types of cloud platforms. While cloud providers can implement many of the same security measures required of an internal IT group, many companies are still wary. This is especially true for less expensive, multitenant public cloud environments that are inherently less secure than in-house IT environments, assuming that the onsite, internal IT environments follow proper security procedures and have the right technology and standards in place. This means building security and trust architec¬tures that ensure each company’s applications and data are isolated and secure from those of other customers in a multitenant environment. By adhering to emerging security standards and leveraging encryption service providers can provide security services that meet security expectations. Whether adopted in public, private or hybrid form, the cloud imposes unique and stringent security demands. But with appropriate levels of security, trust and governance, service providers can provide a secure environment for data and appli¬cations. The information researched was informative and helped reinforce some preexisting ideas I had about Cloud storage security. Information was...

...Policies A policy is a broad guideline for decision making that links the formulation of a strategy with its implementation. Companies use policies to make sure that employees throughout the firm make decisions and take actions that support the corporation’s mission, objectives, and strate- gies. For example, when Cisco decided on a strategy of growth through acquisitions, it estab- lished a policy to consider only companies with no more than 75 employees, 75% of whom were engineers.67 Consider the following company policies: 3M: 3M says researchers should spend 15% of their time working on something other than their primary project. (This supports 3M’s strong product development strategy.) Intel: Intel cannibalizes its own product line (undercuts the sales of its current products) with better products before a competitor does so. (This supports Intel’s objective of mar- ket leadership.) General Electric: GE must be number one or two wherever it competes. (This supports GE’s objective to be number one in market capitalization.) Southwest Airlines: Southwest offers no meals or reserved seating on airplanes. (This supports Southwest’s competitive strategy of having the lowest costs in the industry.) Exxon: Exxon pursues only projects that will be profitable even when the price of oil drops to a low level. (This supports Exxon’s profitability objective.) Policies such as these provide clear guidance to managers throughout the organization. (Strategy formulation is discussed...

...History is the past, which for the most part can not be scientificately proven. The real; goal of History is to rediscover past. A dramatic error happens when past is rediscovered from our own bias that is from the way we see it. Even certain artifacts and works pf literature that we have left from earlier civilizations can be interpreted in several different ways, or misinterpreted to a certain extend or entirely. Usually interpretation or even misinterpretation is affected bu the concept of ethnocentrism, where different communities have an already set up establishment of certain norms based on their own believes, traditions, social, legislative, and personal values and ethics from which they judge other foreign communities. When considering other societies, it is usually a difficult task to view "other world" without any observer prejudices. Each world, our and their can evoke its own realities that are more or less comparable from one period to another, or from one culture to another. One of the obvious misinterpretations, discussed in this paper, took place considering historical document written by king of Mesopotamia. Our textbook, Arts and Culture,(p 98) presents Hammurabi's Code as a "Law Code" of king Hammurabi. It was, in turn something quite different from a Code of Laws existing in our judicial and legislative structure of government and society. Hammurabi's Code- "A law Code" or a set of royal decisions??? As written in Mesopotamia: The Mighty Kings, (p26), the code...

...Implementing New Technology: Success or Failure Taira D. McJimson University of Phoenix Implementing New Technology: Success or Failure In an effort to make this company more competitive within our industry I have decided to implement a few new technology solutions to improve our communication, productivity, accountability and profitability. Through several steps I will insure that all parties involved are comfortable with this pending change. Tech research, group discussion, IT feed-back, tech implementation, training, and support all play a part. Know your Tech The first part of implementing any new technology is to research the technology. Often times managers or other administrative members go out and purchase technology without a full understanding of its uses or what benefit it has for their particular organization, I will not fall into this trap as I will do all the research necessary to determine the best course of action. Several factors are needed to determine the tech needs and the products ability to meet those needs. Accessibility is important due to the fact that no technology is viable if the people who need it cannot access it. Having a laptop on your desk does you no good if you’re on the road (Salvatore). The ability for important information to be correctly sent and received depends on the accessibility of the technology. In this respect I will look for lightweight portable devices that will be easy to carry and provide the connections that we need....

...Why is it New Technology? Strategies for the Technical Professional The standard delivery vehicle has changed over the years, from the old wagons of the West to current trucks making your deliveries. A package being received by mail has never been predictable. The delivery carrier had two options, leaving it at your front door or leaving a slip for you to pick up at their local sorting station. Delivery carries could give you an estimated time of delivery that you could view online, but that was the extent of that service. The future technology of delivering packages by drones offer seamless delivery options. Delivery drones offer a more timely delivery, easier tracking ability and countless delivery options that we have never experienced. Delivery drones can come in all types of sizes. Amazon introduced on 60 minutes that their tiny octocopter could deliver packages up to 5 pounds. The U.S. Military has been using drones, named K-MAX, to deliver cargo to frontline troops in excess of 7000 pounds in the stretch of 250 miles. These copters offer a more cargo to be delivered to customers any time of the day or night and no limits of the weight of the package. Deliveries to rural areas that once only allowed for certain day deliveries now have the same shipping options as everybody else. This type of delivery could also be implemented into the trucking industry that would save consumers money as the supply and demand would always be met and the wear and tear on the highways...

...IEEE 802.11AC 1 Charles E. Clay jr New Trending Technology Paper Mr.Larsen Comp 2 14 January 2013 IEEE 802.11AC New and Improved Wireless Technology The new technology for your wireless home and business network is almost here! I’m talking about the IEEE 802.11AC which is going to be faster and capable of handling more of your High-definition video transfers with speeds equal to a gigabit ethernet. This is nice if you like technology but at what cost should I change my networking devices? The benefits are great but now we know neither the cost nor the date when gear will be available for the business world. With the 802.11ac technology we can only assume that this will cause most companies, who make our end-user products like laptops, tablets and servers for the business world, are going to need to accommodate this new addition to the wireless world. AC technology will have the capabilities to expand its bandwidth from mandatory 80 mhz to 160 mhz which doubles the network access. It also has MIMO and the MU-MIMO, which stands for multiple in and multiple out and multi user multiple in and multiple out. This allows for the communication between terminals, which is better for signal use to the IEEE 802.11AC 2 system. 802.11ac will give the end user whether its a laptop, handheld device or server more access to its network by doubling from 4 spatial streams to 8 spatial. Although the old b/g/n networking routers are very well capable of handling...

...the Internet and World Wide Web. According to McLuhan modern communication technologies such as radio and television globalize communication by allowing users from all levels of society around the world to easily connect with each other and exchange ideas instantaneously. We are to a large extent dependent on regular contact with the new media for information, entertainment ,ideas ,opinions and many other things all of which are connected to our attempt to make sense of who and what we are. The growth in the technology sector is so high that it has made us addicted to it and does not let us function without its presence in our lives. As “McLuhan said that technologies are the extensions of the human body” hence the recent new media technology to be discussed here would be the Internet. Most people, when asked to describe new media, refer almost instantly to the Internet (Lohr, 2003). Internet has made the world a very small and close place to live in where one can be updated with all the major happenings around the world in fraction of seconds. Internet provides us with lot of information on one particular topic and also saves time. No matter what the age or the circumstance would be it is very necessary for people to communicate with each other. Communication is a prerequisite for each activity. However, when considering newer automated communication systems, the factor of access to new media becomes very important. Recent work demonstrates that today’s generation...

...I sighed when I first saw the Samsung Galaxy S7 – it looks just like its predecessor, and yet again I was going to have to dig deep inside to find out whether the new features mean the new phone is worth the extra money it will cost if you choose it over 2015's Galaxy S6. I don't know why phone manufacturers back themselves into a corner like this – giving the public a reason to criticise their new device when it actually does pack some decent upgrades. If you look beyond the design similarities, Samsung has fixed nearly everything that was disappointing about the S6. The dropped waterproofing is back once again, with an IP68 rating. The battery has been boosted from 2550mAh to 3000mAh with little change in the dimensions. The microSD expandable memory is back. And you know what? The Galaxy S7 feels like a completely different phone in the hand thanks to the subtle curve on the back, taken from the Note 5. Imagine the sides from the S6 Edge's screen used on the rear, and you'll have an idea of what I mean. However, there's nothing that will stop people seeing the Galaxy S7 as a phone that's nothing more than the Galaxy S6S, a handset with the same feature set that comes with a microSD slot – and to a degree, they'd be right. It's now waterproof – well, I say now, but in reality this was already added into the Galaxy S5 before being stripped off to allow for the redesigned Galaxy S6. It's impressive to see a phone that's this well-crafted being able to be dunked...
