Semiconductors, Data Centers & AI

Intelligent Health AI is a global summit dedicated to AI in healthcare. The analysts Dr Xiaoxi He and Dr Luyun Jiang attended the conference on 13-14th September 2018 held in Basel, Switzerland.

Advances in laser technologies over the past three decades have enabled lasers to progress from specialist scientific instruments to a diverse range of end-user markets. In this article, time periods where data storage and data communication segments dominated the laser diode market are coloured yellow, while the current era of emerging laser diode applications in material processing, sensing and healthcare is indicated by green shading in the charts.

IDTechEx will be hosting a free webinar on Thursday 20 September titled Smart City Opportunities.

The term smart city originally meant little beyond using much more information technology IT. However, new IDTechEx report, "Smart City Opportunities: Infrastructure, Systems, Materials 2019-2029" reveals that much more dramatic changes are both required and possible and humans will be in the driving seat.

Fiber lasers have a large share of the laser material processing market but are typically limited to aerospace and defence applications in the sensing market segment. That is set to change within the next decade as emerging applications of fiber laser technologies include automotive LiDAR, multi-species gas sensing and structural health monitoring.

The term machine vision describes a group of technologies that enable a machine to see via imaging for the purpose of process automation, and often refers to industrial vision systems. Applications of machine vision include automated product inspection and vision guided robotics. Here we consider four technology types: illuminating, sensing, processing and learning.

5th-Generation Wireless Systems (5G), says the optimist, will revolutionize our life as the 3G/4G systems did.

This article sets out to show that the assumption that QDs are a stagnant technology would be very wrong, demonstrating that QDs have now entered a time of growth, and crucially, rapid technological change.

IDTechEx will be hosting a free webinar on Thursday 2 August titled Digital Health Insights.

5G is believed to be next revolution that will change our society entirely.
