...Papers Home Page » Computers and Technology Tablet In: Computers and Technology Tablet Tablet computer iPad (1st generation), a tablet computer A tablet computer, or simply tablet, is a mobile computer, larger than a mobile phone or personal digital assistant, integrated into a flat touch screen and primarily operated by touching the screen and instead of using a physical keyboard it often uses an onscreen virtual keyboard. A tablet computer may be connected to a keyboard with a wireless link or a USB port. Convertible notebook computers have an integrated keyboard that can be hidden by a swivel joint or slide joint, exposing only the screen for touch operation. Hybrids have a detachable keyboard so that the touch screen can be used as a stand-alone tablet. Booklets include dual-touchscreens, and can be used as a notebook by displaying a virtual keyboard in one of them. An early information tablet concept, named the Dynabook, was described by a Xerox scientist Alan C Kay, in his Aug 1972 paper: A Personal Computer for children of all Ages, the paper proposes a touch screen as a possible alternative means of input for the device. The first commercial portable electronic tablets appeared at the end of the 20th century. In 2010, Apple Inc. released the iPad which became the first mobile computer tablet to achieve worldwide commercial success. The iPad used technology similar to Apple's iPhone. Other manufacturers have produced tablets of their own including Samsung...

...past week, several employees have brought to my attention that it has become difficult to accomplish work-related tasks. Through this memo I want to propose the benefits of supplying our employees with the iPad Air 2 so that the company can come to a conclusion about what would be the best investment for HOPE Mortgage Corporation. While in the workforce, employees need to have access to vital resources at their fingertips. Daily obligations consist of working outside of the office to visit clients, show properties, or obtain signatures on required documents. The iPad Air 2 can effortlessly adapt to the working environment because it can carry out multiple tasks or projects. There are many reasons why the iPad Air 2 is an appropriate tablet for our company. First, it weighs 437 grams, which is less than a pound and does not impose a burden to be carried around. As opposed to the Nexus 9 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S, it contains a 9.7-inch retina display, ensuring clarity when navigating the web, emails or documents. The iPad Air 2 provides features that can help integrate and improve the workforce. This iPad model comes with 8 megapixels offering our employees with exceptional photos or videos of houses to better serve our customers. Even more, with the help of Siri this device has the ability to set reminders on upcoming meetings and due dates. With this in mind, Siri can be used as a worker’s own personal assistant. Siri is a feature that is available only for Apple products;...

...Business Use of Tablets In a society that is dominated by smart phones, laptops, computers and other various forms of technology, perhaps the most recent and developed device that has taken the world by storm is the tablet. Many people feel that a cell phone is limited in its abilities, and who wants to purchase a laptop that is two to three times the size and price of a tablet? A tablet is functional, reasonably priced, and a perfect device for an extremely wide spread demographic group. The amount of individuals that can benefit from the use of a tablet is large enough in itself, but adding to this list beyond individual use is rather simple. Many businesses and corporations have jumped on the tablet bandwagon, and for good reason. They increase efficiency, are optimal forms of communication, and are extremely effective in allowing certain tasks to be completed in a more professional and rapid manor. Of course, there would be an extremely detailed and confusing way to describe how tablets work, but there is also quite a simple explanation as well. Tablets are a bigger, faster, and more functional version of a smart phone. At the same time, they are smaller, lass expensive, but not as widely efficient as laptops and computers. They enable you to video chat, work on documents, have access to your email, take pictures, use various applications for entertainment purposes, and much more. You can surf the Internet, check your stock prices, tell what the weather will be for the...

...THE TABLET With two hands grasping a thin stone tablet, Priam struggled to leap into the tree in complete silence. The branch swayed under his weight and rustled its leaves. Priam froze. Too much noise! Too much! He drew himself rigid. He refused to breathe. His heart hammered within his chest. He was close now, the tall gray mass peeking from the breaks in the leaves. His senses heightened as if he were hunting, but his knees trembled, his breaths shortened and grew louder against his will, and his instincts told him to flee. But Priam battled his instinct and sprang into the final tree. Priam perched upon a branch near the edge of the forest, eyes wide. Priam would not release his tablet, he never wished to abandon it from his strong grip, so he lowered himself onto the branch with one foot and swung the other over the branch until he sat with his legs dangling below him. The wall had not fled. And he could watch it. It was an enormous gray mass, climbing high into the sky so Priam could only see it through the canopy if he ventured to the thinnest edge of the forest. The wall never darted into its land of the Others, those that had driven his people into the forest long ago. Yet it threatened Priam, to flee, to disappear, to leave him alone. So Priam skulked toward it every time as not to awake it from its slumber. He had been successful today, and he could breathe again. As he stared at the wall, he lifted the tablet before him, his tongue wagging from the side of his mouth...

...What is technology doing to and for us? Sitting on the playground with a tablet avoiding a couple kids; playing with jump ropes, draw with chalk on the ground, playing hop scotch, teeter totter and swinging on the monkey bars. A seven-year-old boy is playing basketball on the tablet and when asked by his friend to come play basketball on the court. He reply’s “I don’t wanna, I’m playing on my tablet.” In schools, students are learning skills that they will need to carry them through life and to find jobs. Schools use technology more and more everyday to teach kids and relate to them. Kids are allowed to bring their own devices to class such as tablets, Ipads, and Mini Laptops and use applications that the teacher may require them to. Clearly, technology is becoming increasingly essential to learning. Students with basic academic skills improve with the use of everyday technology. With the speed of technology solving problems is becoming achievable at a faster pace. A good example of that is finding out about schools closing during bad weather. You can have an email sent to you, or even a text message sent to your mobile device, letting know if you have class. Performing school tasks as in writing research papers, finding out your grades for the semester, and submitting work is so much easier. For example flipping through pages to find a word in the dictionary while looking over it once or twice became easier. Now, you can type it in online and in seconds...

...Behaviour in the UK tablet computer market Introduction Consumer behaviour is a complicated and diverse area of study. Since marketing is based on identifying, anticipating and providing customer needs it is important to understand them. There are two predominant types of buying: consumer buying, which consists of buying products for personal use, and organisational buying, which involves buying for organisational purposes. Consumer buying behaviour is defined as the buying behaviour of final consumers, individuals and households who purchase goods and services for personal consumption (Kotler, 2001: 858). It overviews external market environment as well as socio-cultural factors and how the combination of these may affect consumer behaviour. Brief industry and company overview Research in Motion (RIM), a global leader in wireless innovation, revolutionized the mobile industry with the introduction of the BlackBerry® solution in 1999.

...unit pellet tablets/multiple unit particulate or pellet system commonly called MUPS. These are composed of polymer coated subunits namely pellets; which are embedded in an inert excipients matrix designed to overcome the difficulties in administering capsules and improved physico-chemical stability compared to suspensions. The functional coating like drug coating, barrier coating, enteric polymer coating is usually applied in a fluid bed coating processor provides each subunit with the characteristic desired drug release properties. The size, shape and surface morphology of the pellets to be coated are the prerequisites for coating of pellets. Design of MUPS involves formulating pellets by different techniques and further compression of these pellets into rapidly disintegrating tablets; disintegrate rapidly in the oral cavity for the delivery of coated pellets into the gastrointestinal tract or the site of release of the drug. In spite of the challenges like content uniformity of the compressed tablets, ability of the film to withstand compression force. MUPS occupy a prominent role in formulating drugs due to their greater patient compliance, process, formulation and therapeutic advantages. A design principle of increasing importance for sustained, controlled, delayed, site specific or pulsatile release preparations is the compaction of coated particles into disintegrating multiple unit tablets. One challenge in the production of disintegrating multiple unit tablets is maintaining...
