Fiber optic sensor

Analyze the fringes, and you can tell how far each light wave traveled to cover the distance between the mirror and the sensor. More importantly, you can tell if that distance is changing over time. If a gravitational wave passes by, one arm of the observatory’s “L” should be stretched while the other gets squeezed, producing a telltale change in the fringe pattern. What…

Crowdfunding Another way to fund a startup not only in Russia but in many other countries is through crowd-financing. In Russia, the first platforms developed in 2011 and since then many websites have emerged that concentrate on different types of it. According to J’son and Partners Consulting the market for online crowdfunding in 2014 was around 640-700 million Rubles ($9,743,769- $10,657,248 USD).

How is RFID technology related to Wal-Mart’s business model? How does it benefit suppliers? Wal-Mart’s basic business model is “low cost.” RFID promises to reduce supply chain costs and improve the availability of items on store shelves. The world’s biggest retail chain wants RFID readers installed at store receiving docks to record the arrival of pallets and cases of goods. Software uses sales data from its point-of-sale systems and the RFID data about the number of cases brought out to…

nanotubes are allotropes of carbon with cylindrical nanostructure. Constructed with length-to - diameter ratio of up to 132,000,000 :1. These cylindrical carbon molecules have unusual properties, which are valuable for nanotechnology, electronics, optics and other fields of materials science and technology. Nanotubes are members of fullerene structural family. Nanotube’s walls are formed by one-atom thick sheet of carbon called Graphene. The combination of rolling angle and radius decides the…

Emerging Technologies in Greener Networks Name Institution Emerging Technology Emerging technology refers to technology that has the capacity to either refine the existing technology enabling it to be better or using the existing technology as a basis for evolution in technology (Rotolo, Hicks, & Martin, 2015). New technology may result from a number of changes for example the convergence of previously separate technologies to create one new technology or the divergence of previously…

CHAPTER 5 EXPERIMENTATION 5.1 Spur gear terms and concept Fig. 5.1 Terminology definitions for spur gears The radial distance from the pitch circle to the outside diameter is called as addendum. The radial distance between the pitch circle and the root diameter is called as dedendum. The distance of the arc along the pitch circle from one side of a gear tooth to the other is called as circular thickness. The length of the arc of the pitch circle from one point on a tooth to the same…

While ubiquitous Internet access is extremely convenient and enables marvelous new applications for mobile users, it also creates a major security vulnerability—by placing a passive receiver in the vicinity of the wireless transmitter, that receiver can obtain a copy of every packet that is transmitted! These packets can contain all kinds of sensitive information, including passwords, social security numbers, trade secrets, and private personal messages. A passive receiver that records a copy of…

-1 INTRODUCTION BRAND The word “Brand” owes its origin to the Norwegian word “brand” which means to burn. Farmers used to put some identification mark on the body of the livestock to distinguish their possession. Products are what companies make, but customers buy brands. Therefore marketers resorted to branding in order to distinguish their offeringsfrom similar products and services provided by their competitors. Additionally, it carries an inherent assurance to the customers…

Unfortunately, some companies have mismanaged their greatest asset—their brands. This is what befell the popular Snapple brand almost as soon as Quaker Oats bought the beverage marketer for $1.7 billion in 1994. Snapple had become a hit through powerful grassroots marketing and distribution through small outlets and convenience stores. Analysts said that because Quaker did not understand the brand’s appeal, it made the mistake of changing the ads and the distribution. Snapple lost so much…
