Electric Trends That Will Shape the Future

Image
  1. Wireless Power Transfer Did you ever worry about forgetting to pack your charger when getting ready to leave on a trip? Or maybe you did forget it. This trend in electrical engineering eliminates any need for concern or inconvenience. Though still in its early stages of development and production, wireless power transfer is a promising innovation for the future of electronics. In short, wireless power transfer (WPT), also known as wireless energy transfer, is the transmission of electrical energy from a power source to a receiver without the use of interconnecting wires. WPT systems use time-varying electromagnetic fields for energy transmission. These systems ride along...

IBOC Technology

  The IBOC (In-band on-channel) is one kind of technique used to transmit the radio signals like analog and digital on the equal frequency without assigning other range. This kind of technology permits the broadcasting of digital audio without using new range allocations intended for the digital signal. This system will be well-matched with obtainable tuners because it uses the accessible AM &FM bands through connecting a digital sideband signal toward the typical analog signal. The IBOC technology uses a PAC (perceptual audio coder) for digital compression that is expanded throughout Lucent Technology. A system like USADR AM IBOC DAB includes the FEC (forward error correction), the codec, blender, modem & interleaving section.

Bio Chip

Image
 In molecular biology, biochips are engineered substrates ("miniaturized laboratories") that can host large numbers of simultaneous biochemical reactions. One of the goals of biochip technology is to efficiently screen large numbers of biological analytes, with potential applications ranging from disease diagnosis to detection of bioterrorism agents. For example, digital microfluidic biochips are under investigation for applications in biomedical fields. In a digital microfluidic biochip, a group of (adjacent) cells in the microfluidic array can be configured to work as storage, functional operations, as well as for transporting fluid droplets dynamically.[1] Hundreds of gel drops are visible on the biochip.

Capsule endoscopy

Image
 Capsule endoscopy is a medical procedure used to record internal images of the gastrointestinal tract for use in disease diagnosis. Newer developments are also able to take biopsies and release medication at specific locations of the entire gastrointestinal tract.Unlike the more widely used endoscope, capsule endoscopy provides the ability to see the middle portion of the small intestine. It can be applied to the detection of various gastrointestinal cancers, digestive diseases, ulcers, unexplained bleedings, and general abdominal pains. After a patient swallows the capsule, it passes along the gastrointestinal tract, taking a number of images per second which are transmitted wirelessly to an array of receivers connected to a portable recording device carried by the patient. General advantages of capsule endoscopy over standard endoscopy include the minimally invasive procedure setup, ability to visualize more of the gastrointestinal tract, and lower cost of the procedure
