  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...

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...
