  System on a Chip (SoC) What is a System on a Chip? A system on a chip, also known as a SoC, is an integrated circuit that incorporates many or all components of a computer or other electronic system. These components typically include a central processing unit (CPU), memory, input/output ports and secondary storage – all on a single integrated circuit or a small number of integrated circuits. The Growth of System on a Chip Since the 1990s, SoCs have continued to evolve and grow more powerful as technology has advanced. Early SoCs combined a few components like a CPU and memory onto a single chip. Today's SoCs integrate entire computer systems with powerful multi-core processors, graphics processors, complex wireless communication circuits and more. This level of system integration provides benefits like reduced power consumption, smaller form factor, faster performance and lower production costs compared to designs that use multiple discrete components. Applications of System

  Rise in Plastic Waste and the Need for Effective Recycling Plastic waste has become a major environmental issue globally in recent decades. With rising plastic consumption, municipalities struggle to handle the massive amounts of plastic trash. Most plastic ends up in landfills or oceans, polluting the environment for hundreds of years. Various studies estimate that around 8 million tons of plastic enter oceans annually. With conventional plastic disposal and recycling methods proving unsustainable, industries are searching for better alternatives. One such promising solution is using  Recycled Plastic Granules    to manufacture new plastic products in a closed-loop system. The Plastic Recycling Process The recycling process begins with collecting plastic waste from different sources like households, commercial establishments etc. This waste is then sorted based on plastic resin types like PET, HDPE, PVC etc. Using various sorting machines, different plastic types are separated.

Leveraging Category Expertise Specialized procurement firms have deep expertise across various spend categories like indirect materials, manufacturing inputs, logistics and more. They closely track market dynamics and technologies. This allows them to better manage sourcing and negotiate deals. Outsourcing to category experts frees up internal resources for other priorities. It helps lower procurement costs through optimized sourcing strategies tuned for each ca

The rise of gamification in businesses Gamification, the application of game design elements and game principles in non-game contexts, has seen a dramatic rise in businesses over the past decade. More and more companies across industries are embracing gamification strategies to motivate and engage employees. Whether it's through introducing basic rewards and leaderboards or developing complex virtual worlds, businesses are finding gamification to be a powerful tool. Creating game mechanics for tasks One of the primary uses of Gamification  is to apply game elements to routine and repetitive job tasks. This could involve breaking down multi-step processes into discrete objectives with points or badges awarded for completion. Performance metrics are also often incorporated through high score tables or levels linked to key performance indicators. For knowledge-based roles, quizzes and challenge stages can test and reinforce learning. All these gameful designs aim to make mundane wo

  Business Process Outsourcing Business process outsourcing (BPO) has seen significant growth over the past decade as companies look to optimize costs and focus internal resources on core competencies. BPO allows organizations to delegate non-core but essential business functions like human resources, finance and accounting, customer support, and supply chain management to third-party service providers. This allows businesses to scale operations more easily while controlling expenses. The BPO industry has transformed various back-office processes and helped companies improve efficiency. A major driver of the BPO industry's success has been the ability of service providers to offer high-quality support at a significantly lower cost compared to in-house teams. By leveraging economies of scale across multiple clients, BPO firms are able to keep prices competitive while continually upgrading technologies and processes. This value proposition has convinced many organizations, especially

Blood Based Biomarker: A biomarker is a measurable substance in the body that can indicate the presence of a specific disease or condition. Over the years, various biomarkers have been identified for many diseases through extensive research. However, most traditional biomarkers require an invasive procedure like tissue biopsy to measure. This poses challenges and limitations for wide clinical use. The Rise of Blood Based Biomarker In recent years, researchers have begun exploring Blood Based Biomarkers that can be measured through a simple blood draw. Blood carries molecules and cells from throughout the body that can provide clues about health conditions. The development of highly sensitive technologies like proteomics, metabolomics and next-generation sequencing has enabled detection of subtle changes in the blood that correlate with disease. Some key advantages of blood-based biomarkers include their non-invasive nature, low costs, and ability to serially monitor health over tim

  Mid-IR Sensors Infrared technology has revolutionized various industries by enabling non-contact temperature measurement and detection of thermal patterns invisible to the human eye. Mid-infrared sensors are specialized devices that detect infrared radiation in the mid-wavelength infrared band from 3 to 8 micrometers. These sensors have found widespread applications in areas like thermography, night vision, trace gas analysis and industrial process monitoring due to their unique capabilities. What is Mid-IR radiation? Infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than those of visible light. The mid-infrared region lies between the visible and thermal infrared regions in the electromagnetic spectrum. Objects at room temperature emit optimal radiation in this wavelength range depending on their temperature which can be measured using mid-IR sensors. The energy emitted is proportionate to the object's temperature according to Planck's law. Materials

  Flexible Battery Flexible batteries provide more flexibility As technology advances, consumers want devices that are increasingly thin, lightweight and portable. Traditional rigid batteries cannot keep up with these evolving demands. However, flexible batteries offer a solution by providing the energy storage required for new generations of flexible devices. Rather than being rigid and box-shaped, flexible batteries can bend, fold and twist without losing performance. This opens up exciting new desaign possibilities for consumer electronics and wearables. Flexible batteries utilize innovative materials and designs For a battery to be truly flexible, engineers must develop novel materials and architectures. Most traditional battery components like rigidmetal current collectors and inflexible polymer separators cannot withstand bending and flexing. Flexible battery research focuses on replacing these rigid parts with thin film technologies. Conductive polymers, graphene compounds an
