BIS: XR, IOT, 3D and 4D printing, nano technology

The Internet of Things (IoT)

-Refers to billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the internet, all collecting and sharing data -Network of physical objects—"things"—that are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the internet

What can 4D printing do in the medical sector?

-Tailor-made, intelligent and scalable medical devices making it easier to control its condition and viability once integrated by the patient -Cellular structures that adapt to a human body according to its temperature

Top industries for the IIoT

-discrete manufacturing ($119 billion in spending) - asset management -process manufacturing ($78 billion) - asset management -transportation ($71 billion) - freight monitoring and fleet management -utilities ($61 billion) - smart-grid projects for electricity, gas, and water

What can IoT be used for?

-smart homes (refrigerators, lightning, security, entertainment) -elderly care - health monitoring and fall detection -medical devices -wearable devices - attach to skin or embedded in clothing (athletes, fashion, Iron Man suit) -transportation - vehicles, roadways, traffic control -weather monitoring

What can 4D printing do in the transportation sector?

-tires capable of self-repair in the event of a puncture or adapting to the most extreme weather conditions -components that react to atmospheric pressure or temperature changes, and therefore change function replacing hinges, hydraulic actuators and thus considerably reduce the weight of these devices

3D/4D printing

A process for marking a physical object from a three-dimensional digital model, typically by laying down many successive thin layers of a material

What are AR applications best suited for?

AR applications are best suited for cases where users need to be connected to and present in the real world. Remote assistance, on-the-job training, remote collaboration, and computer-assigned tasks.

For manufacturers, IIoT projects to support _____ will be key.

Asset management

The utilities industry will be dominated by IIoT smart-grid projects for _____, _____, and ____.

Electricity, gas, and water

Wet nanotechnology

Based on biological systems in an aqueous environment such as genetic material, enzymes, membranes, cellular components

Nanotechnology electronics applications

Break through barriers in modern electronics (faster, smaller, reduce power consumption)

Types of nanotech

Descending, ascending, dry, and wet

For transportation with IIoT, _____ and _____ will take top priority

Freight monitoring and fleet management

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)

Interconnected sensors, instruments, and other devices networked together with computers' industrial applications, including manufacturing and energy management

Augmented reality

Lets the user experience the real world, which has been digitally augmented or enhanced in some way

Nanotechnology textiles applications

Lightweight, waterproof, self-cleaning

Nanotechnology energy applications

More effective renewable energy solutions

Nanotechnology smart cities applications

Nanotech embedded in building construction, infastructure-less data communication

Nanotechnology food applications

Processing, packaging, food development, food safety, detection of pathogens, shelf-life monitoring, shelf-life extension, grow pest resistant foods, grow drought tolerant foods

What does 3D printing do?

Produces objects that keep their fixed shape

Virtual reality

Removes the user from that real-world experience, replacing it with a completely simulated one

What does SOC stand for and what does it provide?

SOC = system on chip - single chip providing: small, processor, sensors, memory, network connectivity, specialized embedded software, can be disposable (low cost)

Nanotechnology medicine applications

Significantly more effective targeted treatment (opens the ability to cross biological barriers)

What are VR applications best suited for?

Simulation or complete immersion. Remote collaboration with 3D elements, point-of-view training, and virtual tours.

Descending (top down) nanotechnology

Start at 100 nanometers and work down to even smaller units

Ascending (bottom up) nanotechnology

Start with nanotechnology and build larger sub-assemblies with nanotech units to achieve the goal

Nanotech

Technology that deals with dimensions and tolerances of less than 100 nanometers, especially the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules

Dry nanotechnology

Used to manufacture structures that do not work with humidity such as coal, inorganic materials, silicone, metals, electronics

What does 4D printing do?

Uses materials known as "intelligent" materials which have been programmed to change their shape under the influence of an external factor, most often temperature, just like when a computer obeys a code
