The promise of 5G has captured the attention of business leaders, policy makers, and the media. But how much of that promise is likely to be realized anytime soon?
With the first true high-band 5G networks already live, we set out to take a realistic view of how and where connectivity could be deployed and what it can enable over the next 10 years. But 5G is not appearing in isolation. This research takes a more expansive view of connectivity to include other technologies, ranging from fiber and satellites to Wi-Fi and short-range technologies.
Despite the hype about remote surgery and Star Trek–style holodecks in everyone’s living rooms, the future is not solely happening on the frontier. Existing connectivity technologies are expanding and evolving, with new standards that boost network performance—and they are much less capital-intensive. We have identified an enormous array of use cases that can run on this type of upgraded backbone. Companies do not have to wait for high-band 5G to implement new systems and go after the resulting productivity gains.
To illustrate what is possible, this research looks at how connectivity could be deployed in mobility, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail. The use cases we identified in these four commercial domains alone could boost global GDP by $1.2 trillion to $2 trillion by 2030. This implies that the value at stake will ultimately run trillions of dollars higher across the entire global economy.

4G LTE over satellite is arriving to the market at a faster pace than 2G and 3G did when they emerged. 4G carries the promise of a true mobile broadband experience with high volumes, higher speeds and enhanced efficiency, blurring the lines between cellular and wifi. Mobile operators will nevertheless wonder if 4G can be even more successful than its predecessors, and what value it really brings to the subscriber. They will also want to know if there are specifi c characteristics required to run the service over satellite, and if it is possible to optimize the traffi c just like in 2G and 3G to gain bandwidth and decrease the OPEX. Lastly, can 4G deployments be future proof in light of the upcoming 5G standards?
Small Satellites: Landscape and Market - New Constellations - New Uses Cases ...Hugo Wagner
Constellations of small satellites—“smallsats”, i.e. low cost, low mass (1-150 kg) and small sized—
dominate the news today, touted in applications as wide-ranging as providing universal connectivity,
ubiquitous broadband coverage, and daily observation of the Earth. Today, a combination of
miniaturized commercial off-the-shelf components (COTS) and satellite technology, coupled with
advanced sensors, faster computing, and a need for better actionable imagery, have all acted to usher
in a new era for smallsats in the commercial market. In reality, increasingly reliable technology and
permissive regulation have enabled ambitious constellation projects that could threaten the
telecommunications industry and claim a non-negligible share of the emerging markets. This report
surveys the technical and entrepreneurial landscape and uses these insights to develop future
adoption scenarios for smallsats in key commercial applications. !
Silicon Valley is the locus of space entrepreneurship activity. From here, we observe
the following:
• smallsat companies want to provide worldwide internet access!
• smallsat companies are shaping a new wireless architecture!
• smallsat companies aim at providing cheaper data, voice and instant messaging services in remote areas!
• legacy satellite operators want to compete with cellular offers to provide connectivity to connected
cars, aircraft, and the Internet of Things ecosystem!
• satellite antenna manufacturers are bringing smaller, cheaper, more agile, and embedded antennas to
fit the market’s need for more mobility and capacity in order to allow for these applications.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Terzaghi's soil bearing capacity theory, developed by Karl Terzaghi, is a fundamental principle in geotechnical engineering used to determine the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. This theory provides a method to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of soil, which is the maximum load per unit area that the soil can support without undergoing shear failure. The Calculation HTML Code included.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

ChallengesStatus quo
UHD currently a niche market
for Pay-TV operators, most
channels launched by satellite
operators and IPTV
A total of 70 unique linear UHD
channels available globally
(Q2/2018, by Ultra HD Forum)
Adoption of 4K/UHD likely to
occur as part of the normal
technology replacement cycle
Lack of interest (unclear viewing
benefits of 4K/UHD compared to
HD)
Significant equipment updates
needed to move to UHD (e.g.
distribution)
Consumers’ 4K/UHD TV sets
purchases growing faster than
4K/UHD content
production/distribution
Adoption:
22%
Opportunities
Adoption of IP-based equipment
Growth of OTT segment with much
higher UHD title availability than
other broadcasters
Netflix and Amazon accepting only
content shot in 4K/UHD driving
demand for 4K/UHD cameras and
production equipment
