Oracle Corporation

In 1995, Oracle Systems Corporation changed its name to Oracle Corporation, officially named Oracle, but is sometimes referred to as Oracle Corporation, the name of the holding company.

Edit] Oracle Database Release 10: In 2004, Oracle Corporation shipped release 10g as the then latest version of Oracle Database.

Oracle Corporation develops and supports two operating systems: Oracle Solaris and Oracle Linux.

Oracle Cloud is a cloud computing service offered by Oracle Corporation providing servers, storage, network, applications and services through a global network of Oracle Corporation managed data centers.

Oracle Auto Service Request automatically creates Service Requests for specific hardware faults on qualified Oracle server, storage, Oracle Exadata, and Oracle Exalogic products.

Oracle Corporation would resort to a similar strategy, by advising SAP customers to get “OFF SAP”, and also by providing special discounts on licenses and services to SAP customers who chose Oracle Corporation products.

On March 22, 2007, Oracle filed a lawsuit against SAP. In Oracle Corporation v. SAP AG Oracle alleged that TomorrowNow, which provides discount support for legacy Oracle product lines, used the accounts of former Oracle customers to systematically download patches and support documents from Oracle’s website and to appropriate them for SAP’s use.

Definition, History, & Facts

Oracle Corporation, formerly Software Development Laboratories, Relational Software Inc., and Oracle Systems Corporation, global corporation that develops and markets computer software applications for business.

The company is best known for its Oracle database software, a relational database management system, and for computer systems and software, such as Solaris and Java, acquired in its purchase of Sun Microsystems in 2010.

In 1979 the company released Oracle, the earliest commercial relational database program to use Structured Query Language, and it quickly became popular.

In 1987 Oracle became the largest database management company in the world.

Although Oracle’s eponymous database has steadily increased in popularity, much of the company’s growth has come through its aggressive acquisitions of software companies with products for a range of business and technology applications.

In its history Oracle lays claim to buying scores of companies, including high-profile multibillion-dollar purchases of PeopleSoft, Siebel, BEA, Sun Microsystems, and NetSuite.

The European Union, before it approved the purchase in January 2010, required assurances from Oracle that it would continue to develop and support MySQL. Later that year, Oracle filed a multibillion-dollar lawsuit against Google, Inc., alleging that Google had illegally used elements of Java in its development of the Android operating system for mobile phones.

Oracle Headquarters, All Office Locations And Addresses

In the inception of Oracle, Larry Ellison is one of the cofounders of Oracle Corporation in the year of 1978, together with Bob Miner and Ed Oates.

Previously named as Software Development Laboratories, Mr. Ellison was inspired from a ’70s paper by Edgar F. Codd on relational database management systems entitled “A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks.” These happenstances began taking a tour to the humble Oracle company profile from that point on.

In 1979, Software Dev’t Laboratories was renamed to Relational Software, Inc and then was renamed again to the current Oracle Systems Corporation in 1982.

In 1995, Oracle Systems Corporation changed its name to Oracle Corporation, officially named Oracle, but sometimes referred to as the holding company’s name, Oracle Corporation.

In the 4th quarter of 2016, Oracle Corporation has 136,263 employees and continues to provide its software products and services in the US and in the international market in various office locations around the world.

The original name of Oracle was Software Development Laboratories in 1977; they switched the name to Relational Software Inc. in 1979.

It was Oracle Systems Corporation in 1982 after the project they won with CIA was declassified, and in 1995 they changed the name to Oracle Corporation as is known today.

Hewlett-Packard

The company was founded in a one-car garage in Palo Alto by Bill Hewlett and David Packard in 1939, and initially produced a line of electronic test and measurement equipment.

The company won its first big contract in 1938 to provide test and measurement instruments for Walt Disney’s production of the animated film Fantasia, which allowed Hewlett and Packard to formally establish the Hewlett-Packard Company on July 2, 1939.

On November 1, 2015, the company spun off its enterprise products and services business Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

In 1947, the company was incorporated with Packard as president.

The split, which was first reported by The Wall Street Journal and confirmed by other media, resulted in two publicly traded companies on November 1, 2015: Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc. The split was structured so that Hewlett-Packard changed its name to HP Inc. and spun off Hewlett Packard Enterprise as a new publicly traded company.

According to Environmental Leader, “Hewlett-Packard earned its number one position due to its greenhouse gas emission reduction programs, and was the first major IT company to report GHG emissions associated with its supply chain, according to the ranking. In addition, HP has made an effort to remove toxic substances from its products, though Greenpeace has targeted the company for not doing better.”

The SEC’s order found that HP’s subsidiary in Russia paid more than $2 million through agents and various shell companies to a Russian government official to retain a multimillion-dollar contract with the federal prosecutor’s office; in Poland, HP’s subsidiary provided gifts and cash bribes worth more than $600,000 to a Polish government official to obtain contracts with the national police agency; and to win a software sale to Mexico’s state-owned petroleum company, HP’s subsidiary in Mexico paid more than $1 million in inflated commissions to a consultant with close ties to company officials, one of whom was funneled money.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Announces Earnings Results

The technology company reported $0.53 earnings per share for the quarter, beating the Zacks’ consensus estimate of $0.46 by $0.07, MarketWatch Earnings reports.

In other Hewlett Packard Enterprise news, SVP Thomas E. Black, Jr. sold 17,078 shares of the company’s stock in a transaction on Thursday, December 23rd. The shares were sold at an average price of $15.80, for a total value of $269,832.

Ironwood Wealth Management LLC. boosted its position in shares of Hewlett Packard Enterprise by 52.8% in the second quarter.

California State Teachers Retirement System boosted its position in shares of Hewlett Packard Enterprise by 2.9% in the fourth quarter.

Allstate Corp boosted its position in shares of Hewlett Packard Enterprise by 406.6% in the fourth quarter.

Metropolitan Life Insurance Co NY boosted its position in shares of Hewlett Packard Enterprise by 17.0% in the fourth quarter.

Finally, Peapack Gladstone Financial Corp boosted its position in shares of Hewlett Packard Enterprise by 14.6% in the fourth quarter.

Hewlett-Packard Company

The company split in 2015 into two companies: HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

During World War II the company developed products for military applications that were important enough to merit Packard a draft exemption, while Hewlett served in the Army Signal Corps.

Postwar growth After the war, Packard became responsible for the company’s business, while Hewlett led its research and development efforts.

As a result, Packard came out of retirement to take an active role in the management of the company.

The company soon turned its balance sheet around, and in 2007 Hewlett-Packard became the first technology company to exceed $100 billion in sales revenue for a fiscal year.

In 2015 Hewlett-Packard split into two companies: HP Inc., which made personal computers and printers, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, which provided products and services for businesses.

Packard and Hewlett were also known for “Management by walking around,” visiting as many departments as possible without appointments or scheduled meetings and talking with line workers as often as with managers in order to understand how the company was operating.

Aeryon Labs

Aeryon Labs is a Canadian developer and manufacturer of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.

Aeryon Defense is a wholly owned subsidiary, based in Denver, Colorado, focused on sales and support for the US Government.

The company was purchased by FLIR Systems in January 2019 for US$200 million.

Aeryon Labs’ UAVs have a field interchangeable payload interface to support multiple payloads.

All imaging payloads are stabilized and include high resolution stills, optical zoom video, thermal Imaging, HD video, and dual EO/IR video/still camera.

Aeryon was listed on the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 in 2014, 2015 and 2016.

In 2018, the SkyRanger drone provided support for disaster response following Hurricane Irma.

Aeryon Labs Inc.

I am an Aeryon SkyRanger drone, created by Waterloo-based small Unmanned Aerial Systems manufacturer Aeryon Labs, Inc. Aeryon dedicates itself to two main products, the Scout and the newer, more advanced SkyRanger.

With more than 50 percent of sales in the Middle East, Australia, China, Saudi Arabia, the United States and 30 other countries, Aeryon Labs recently netted a 2014 Export Ontario award.

Seeing a gap in the market for commercial unmanned aerial systems, he started Aeryon Labs with Steffen Lindner and Mike Peasgood in 2007.

A few students from Waterloo come to Aeryon each term through the co-op program, and Aeryon also funds research at the university.

Canadian drone laws provide Aeryon access to airspace, allowing the company to test and demonstrate the systems in a way currently more restrictive in the United States.

With such distinct Canadian advantage, Aeryon Labs aims to soar ever higher on the wings of success.

Dave Kroetsch believes that this acquisition will be beneficial for Aeryon and its employees, as being owned by FLIR will allow Aeryon to greatly increase the technical capacity of its products and expand its presence into global markets.

Aeryon SkyRanger SUAS

Aeryon SkyRanger is a next-generation, small unmanned aircraft system designed and manufactured by Aeryon Labs, a company based in Canada.

TrellisWare Technologies, along with Datron, Aeryon Labs, and Black Diamond Advanced Technologies presented the Aeryon SkyRanger sUAS integrated with a TSM radio at the US Marine Corps Camp Lejeune in August 2015.

The sUAS relayed real-time video streaming and thermal imaging over the TSM mobile ad-hoc network during the live demonstration.

Aeryon Labs entered a partnership with Protonex Technology Corporation in September 2015, to equip Aeryon SkyRanger with a new in-field battery charging solution.

SkyRanger is a man portable, quad-rotor sUAS designed for use in harsh environments.

The SkyRanger is also offered with Aeryon Map Edition, which is a bundled package designed for planning and retrospecting tactical missions that need survey-grade accuracy orthomosaics, digital surface models and point clouds from aerial or oblique imagery.

The Aeryon SkyRanger offers a maximum flight endurance of 50 minutes when installed with payload. It can fly at a maximum altitude of 15,000ft above mean sea level.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

UAVs are a component of an unmanned aircraft system, which includes adding a ground-based controller and a system of communications with the UAV. The flight of UAVs may operate under remote control by a human operator, as remotely-piloted aircraft, or with various degrees of autonomy, such as autopilot assistance, up to fully autonomous aircraft that have no provision for human intervention.

Missiles with warheads are not considered UAVs because the vehicle itself is a munition.

An example of classification based on the composite criteria is U.S. Military’s unmanned aerial systems classification of UAVs based on weight, maximum altitude and speed of the UAV component.

The interest in UAVs cyber security has been raised greatly after the Predator UAV video stream hijacking incident in 2009, where Islamic militants used cheap, off-the-shelf equipment to stream video feeds from a UAV. Another risk is the possibility of hijacking or jamming a UAV in flight.

At a workshop on UAVs and privacy in October 2016, researchers from the Federal Trade Commission showed they were able to hack into three different consumer quadcopters and noted that UAV manufacturers can make their UAVs more secure by the basic security measures of encrypting the Wi-Fi signal and adding password protection.

The malicious use of UAVs has led to the development of counter unmanned air system technologies such as the Aaronia AARTOS which have been installed on major international airports.

Regulatory bodies around the world are developing unmanned aircraft system traffic management solutions to better integrate UAVs into airspace.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Small Unmanned Aerial System Adversary Capabilities It is difficult to detect, identify, classify, and-consequently-counter nefarious small unmanned aerial systems, particularly in urban areas.

As the U.S. Department of Homeland Security prepares for this potential threat, it will need to know the types of threat scenarios in which these systems could be used, which design elements are likely to be exploited by a nefarious actor, and which technologies and capabilities may be available in the near future.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Our project aims to develop an algorithm for commanding multiple UAVs to cooperatively perform multiple tasks and to assign specific tasks to each vehicle without collision, congestion, and overlapping by exact localizing each drone.

Intended to create a backbone aerial WiMax network over the area for the terrestrial terminals to connect with each other, by deploying UAVs equipped with WiMax modules in order to get maximum coverage.

One of the most prominent applications for UAVs is aerial photography, which is useful in many missions like precision farming, security checking, and disaster intensity monitoring.

Provides a brief literature survey on the existing state of the art for multiagent mission planning, aerial grasping, and search and rescue using UAVs.

The use of UAVs in aerial missions is straightforward, but they provide an extra level of safety for ground missions in terms of surveillance, navigation, and reconnaissance.

Since autonomous UAVs are operated and take decisions on their own without any human interaction, it is necessary to overcome all the limitations of the vehicle and the path that may arise during the flight plan and to design a plan that is both feasible and optimal.

Rather than defining the UAV path as a smooth curve, the continuous world is divided into a finite set of discrete states that the vehicle must travel through in order to get from the start point to the final point.

Definition, History, Types, & Facts

Unmanned aerial vehicle, military aircraft that is guided autonomously, by remote control, or both and that carries sensors, target designators, offensive ordnance, or electronic transmitters designed to interfere with or destroy enemy targets.

UAVs are descended from target drones and remotely piloted vehicles employed by the military forces of many countries in the decades immediately after World War II. Modern UAVs debuted as an important weapons system in the early 1980s, when the Israeli Defense Forces fitted small drones resembling large model airplanes with trainable television and infrared cameras and with target designators for laser-guided munitions, all downlinked to a control station.

The Predator, with a length of 26 feet 8 inches and a wingspan of 41 feet 8 inches, is powered by a piston engine driving a pusher propeller.

In addition to visible and infrared television, it carries synthetic aperture radar and passive electronic sensors, and it can also carry antitank missiles.

A larger, turboprop-powered derivative of the Predator, the MQ-9 Reaper, has improved performance and carries a larger ordnance load. Both the Predator and the Reaper have been used in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan and have been purchased by allies of the United States.

The most important of these is the U.S. RQ-4 Global Hawk, a jet-powered craft 44 feet long and with a wingspan of 116 feet.

The Global Hawk has a cruise speed of 400 miles per hour and an endurance of some 36 hours, and it carries a variety of photographic, radar, and electronic sensors.

4 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: Capabilities And Potential

At the lower tactical-unit level, the Marine Corps’s tactical UAV need is to be satisfied by the human-portable Dragon Eye UAV system.

The Marine Corps is looking at the U.S. Coast Guard Eagle Eye tilt-rotor development as well as at other systems as potential candidates for their combination of VTOL capabilities and high cruise speed.

The Fire Scout is a fully developed system ready for production; units could be in the fleet within 20 months of a production go-ahead. The Eagle Eye, on the other hand, is a developmental system, and the Coast Guard schedule shows the system reaching initial operating capability late in 2007.

Current Marine Corps thinking on what constitutes a suitable VTOL tactical UAV points to a system more closely matching the V-22 Osprey in speed, with range out to 200 nautical miles.

If selected by the Marine Corps, a tilt-rotor-like VTOL UAV will realistically be viewed as the first of a line of high-speed unmanned rotorcraft, likely employing tilt-rotor or tilt-wing technology.

The Navy, for its part, is sensitive to the needs of the Marine Corps and indeed has indicated preliminarily that in a few years’ time, it may wish to revisit the sea-based tactical UAV requirement together with the Marine Corps.

Further, the two Services agree that, from an affordability and operational flexibility perspective, a single ship-and-shore-suitable tactical UAV system, meeting both Navy and Marine Corps needs, is the correct path for the future.

Aeryon Scout

Aeryon Scout is a small reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle that was designed and built by Aeryon Labs of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

The Scout is a vertical take-off and landing VTOL quadcopter requiring no launch equipment.

The Scout can be operated beyond the line of sight up to 3 kilometres from the user, with a designed operational altitude above ground level of 300 to 500 feet at flying speeds of up to 50 kilometres per hour and an endurance of 25 minutes.

The Scout is controlled with a Tablet PC-based interface.

The system operates using custom or commercially available map data in several formats including MrSID. Real-time maps can also be used during flight and the Scout can be flown real-time by the operator or pre-programmed to fly a series of GPS waypoints.

The Scout constantly monitors external conditions such as wind speed, as well as internal functions, such as battery level, allowing it to make an automated decisions en route to return home, land immediately or hover and wait.

The Scout has a quick-change payload interface with common interfaces including USB and Ethernet, which allows custom payloads to be developed.

Aeryon Scout – CTU Security

Military-led mission to gain reconnaissance on a suspected drug lord’s compound.

Typically, traffickers not only control their compound but also the surrounding impoverished area, making it extremely difficult to use local informants for intelligence without compromising the security of the mission.

With little knowledge of the compound’s security measures, its layout, or even who is currently home, preparing and conducting raids is extremely risky for officers.

Using the GPS map-based interface and intelligent camera payload, the Scout was in place with a visual of the target within 4 minutes of take-off.

Using the encrypted video stream, several people were seen working in and around the compound, but they did not see or hear the Scout.

MISSION FACTS. Mission Facts taken from the Aeryon Scout log file.

Using the Pre-raid plan, security forces raided the compound and secured the suspect.

Aeryon Scout Review: Easy And Reliable Professional Quadrocopter

For several years it has passed since left Aeryon Scout – Professional quadrocopter from the American company Aeryon Systems.

Despite the fact that Aeryon Scout is a professional radio-controlled quadrocopter, it does not require special skills to manage.

The size quadrocopter not very large in length and width of it is 800 mm in height – 300 mm.

Scout was developed for the purpose of its use around the globe, so it is able to withstand temperatures from -30 degrees C to + 50 C. He was not afraid of the snow and rain, it can resist the wind speed is 50 km / h and gusts of wind up to as much as 80 km / h! The maximum flight speed copter – 50 km / h, and the lifting speed – 2 m / s. Like any modern quadrocopter, Aeryon Scout is equipped with GPS and autopilot system.

Thus, quadrocopter flight can be programmed and just watch how he will fly around the area and carry out their tasks.

Quadrocopters Aeryon Scout can still give a head start to new quadrocopters: despite his age, he has all the features and capabilities that are essential to modern professional radio-controlled drone.

If you need a simple and relatively small quadrocopter, who are not afraid of the weather, and which is able to withstand low temperatures – Scout is an excellent choice.

Aeryon Scout The Flying Camera

One of the latest inventions to be thought up comes courtesy of a prototype version of a flying camera from Aeryon Labs of Waterloo.

The camera is constructed of four foam rings which are all interconnected and each 30cm in diameter.

There exists a rotor inside which makes the Aeryon Scout, as they have chosen to name it.

A camera is concealed in its underbelly, where the “Quad-rotor” is controlled by a remote control which allows the Scout to navigate into difficult areas, perhaps enemy territory.

It could also be used more leisurely to simply make taking photographs simpler, by reaching higher to capture a special view.

Aeryon Scout Micro-UAS Selected For SUAS Storm Response Study

Aeryon Scout micro-UAV selected for NMSU study, in collaboration with FEMA and FAA, to assess the role of small UAS to help speed the repair and restoration of electrical services after storm damage.

New Mexico State University, coordinating with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Aviation Association, will use the Aeryon Scout™ system in a series of operational trials to determine the best concept of operations for small UAS to quickly assess storm damage to utility distribution systems.

The Aeryon Scout™ micro-UAV has been selected for the operational phase of the study, due to its intuitive user-interface, advanced capabilities, and ability to fly in adverse weather conditions.

In addition to system usability and performance, the Scout met all other project selection criteria including GPS enabled imagery and project altitudes.

“The Aeryon Scout was selected for the study because it exceeded all of the system specifications required for the project” said Dennis Zaklan, Deputy Director at NMSU. “The combination of ease of use and flight performance was paramount.”

“The Scout was designed to be used by anyone, anywhere, and at any time” stated Dave Kroetsch, president of Aeryon Labs.

As an unmanned alternative to manned aircraft such as helicopters, the Scout micro-UAS removes the human element from potentially hazardous environments such as high power electrical lines.

Serverless Computing And Applications

Serverless computing enables developers to build applications faster by eliminating the need for them to manage infrastructure.

Serverless computing helps teams increase their productivity and bring products to market faster, and it allows organizations to better optimize resources and stay focused on innovation.

Serverless applications reduce the operations dependencies on each development cycle, increasing development teams’ agility to deliver more functionality in less time.

Developers build serverless applications using a variety of application patterns-many of which align with approaches that are already familiar-to meet specific requirements and business needs.

A serverless API gateway is a centralized, fully managed entry point for serverless backend services.

Every component of an application benefits from this approach, from computing and the database engine to messaging, analytics, and AI. Using an end-to-end serverless platform that provides a comprehensive set of serverless technologies is the best way to ensure that the organization gains the maximum benefit from going serverless.

Learn about the end-to-end Azure serverless platform Get started building serverless applications Start free.

Serverless computing is something that lets you to do that because the architecture that you need to scale and run your apps is managed for you.

Serverless computing is a big solution for them as it relieves that burden from them.

Serverless computing is the technology of abstracting the servers, operating systems and the infrastructures.

The scaling of the application is very flexible in serverless computing.

There is no need to pre- or over-provision capacity for things like compute and storage.

Serverless computing is more cost-effective than purchasing the servers with required configurations.

It is Google’s online platform that is based on serverless computing.

Serverless Computing: Advantages & Disadvantages Of Serverless Architecture?

Hardware management by the provider is the key to a serverless architecture.

The only challenge for users is to integrate their software, including the corresponding functions, into the rented cloud structures.

The former has the advantage of preventing excessive coupling of individual functions, minimizing the resources required.

One example of an event-based function is generating a thumbnail whenever an image is uploaded.

In the classic method, the client has to send a separate request to the server to call a function and to create the thumbnail.

Unlike the platform-as-a-service infrastructure, the serverless computing provider does not continuously deliver a persistent working environment for the entire term of the contract, instead of delivering the resources required for the runtime of an individual function call.

Of course, there are physical and virtual servers running in the background to allow the functions to be executed.

Serverless computing involves using cloud-based technology to handle back-end functions of a website or app.

Since serverless computing does involve servers, some experts prefer to use the term function as a service instead. No matter what you choose to call it, serverless computing is popular.

Serverless computing allows developers to focus on the front end of a website or app without worrying about back-end functions at all.

As an expert described the model in 2014, developers write application code and load it into the serverless computing environment.

These events are called “Functions” in the serverless computing model.

Automatic scaling sets serverless computing apart from all of these models.

You won’t need these conversations in the serverless computing model.

Serverless Computing

Serverless computing is a cloud computing execution model in which the cloud provider allocates machine resources on demand, taking care of the servers on behalf of their customers.

Serverless computing does not hold resources in volatile memory; computing is rather done in short bursts with the results persisted to storage.

Serverless computing can simplify the process of deploying code into production.

Google App Engine, introduced in 2008, was the first abstract serverless computing offering.

Serverless computing is not suited to some computing workloads, such as high-performance computing, because of the resource limits imposed by cloud providers, and also because it would likely be cheaper to bulk-provision the number of servers believed to be required at any given point in time.

Serverless computing can also be done on private cloud environment or even on-premises, using for example the Kubernetes platform.

Serverless computing is provided as a third-party service.

Kubernetes

Kubernetes builds upon 15 years of experience of running production workloads at Google, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.

Designed on the same principles that allows Google to run billions of containers a week, Kubernetes can scale without increasing your ops team.

Whether testing locally or running a global enterprise, Kubernetes flexibility grows with you to deliver your applications consistently and easily no matter how complex your need is.

Kubernetes is open source giving you the freedom to take advantage of on-premises, hybrid, or public cloud infrastructure, letting you effortlessly move workloads to where it matters to you.

Kubernetes Features Automated rollouts and rollbacks Kubernetes progressively rolls out changes to your application or its configuration, while monitoring application health to ensure it doesn’t kill all your instances at the same time.

Batch execution In addition to services, Kubernetes can manage your batch and CI workloads, replacing containers that fail, if desired.

“We made the right decisions at the right time. Kubernetes and the cloud native technologies are now”.

Kubernetes

Kubernetes works with Docker, Containerd, and CRI-O. Originally, it interfaced exclusively with the Docker runtime through a “Dockershim”; however, since 2016, Kubernetes has deprecated the shim in favor of directly interfacing with the container through Containerd, or replacing Docker with a runtime that is compliant with the Container Runtime Interface.

The internal components as well as extensions and containers that run on Kubernetes rely on the Kubernetes API. The platform exerts its control over compute and storage resources by defining resources as Objects, which can then be managed as such.

The API server serves the Kubernetes API using JSON over HTTP, which provides both the internal and external interface to Kubernetes.

Kubernetes provides two modes of service discovery, using environmental variables or using Kubernetes DNS. Service discovery assigns a stable IP address and DNS name to the service, and load balances traffic in a round-robin manner to network connections of that IP address among the pods matching the selector.

Kubernetes provides no native storage for log data, but one can integrate many existing logging solutions into the Kubernetes cluster.

The Container Attached Storage approach or pattern relies on Kubernetes itself for certain capabilities while delivering primarily block, file, object and interfaces to workloads running on Kubernetes.

Examples of functionality delivered by custom resource definitions or by Kubernetes itself include retry logic, delivered by Kubernetes itself, and the creation and maintenance of an inventory of available storage media and volumes, typically delivered via a custom resource definition.

What Is Kubernetes?

Kubernetes orchestrates clusters of virtual machines and schedules containers to run on those virtual machines based on their available compute resources and the resource requirements of each container.

What Is Kubernetes?

Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration platform that automates deployment, management and scaling of applications.

While alternative container platforms exist today, CoreOS, and Canonical LXD), Docker is so widely preferred that it is virtually synonymous with containers and is sometimes mistaken as a competitor to complimentary technologies such as Kubernetes.

Service discovery: Kubernetes can automatically expose a container to the internet or to other containers using a DNS name or IP address.

Storage provisioning: Set Kubernetes to mount persistent local or cloud storage for your containers as needed.

Autoscaling: When traffic spikes, Kubernetes autoscaling can spin up new clusters as needed to handle the additional workload. Self-healing for high availability: When a container fails, Kubernetes can restart or replace it automatically to prevent downtime.

To each Kubernetes cluster, Istio adds a sidecar container – essentially invisible to the programmer and the administrator – that configures, monitors, and manages interactions between the other containers.

Built on Kubernetes and other tools in the open-source Kubernetes ecosystem, container services from IBM Cloud can facilitate and accelerate your path to cloud-native application development, and to an open hybrid cloud approach that integrates the best features and functions from private cloud, public cloud and on-premises IT infrastructure.

What Is Kubernetes?

Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration platform that automates many of the manual processes involved in deploying, managing, and scaling containerized applications.

You can cluster together groups of hosts running Linux® containers, and Kubernetes helps you easily and efficiently manage those clusters.

The primary advantage of using Kubernetes in your environment, especially if you are optimizing app dev for the cloud, is that it gives you the platform to schedule and run containers on clusters of physical or virtual machines.

Kubernetes runs on top of an operating system and interacts with pods of containers running on the nodes.

Kubernetes orchestration allows you to build application services that span multiple containers, schedule those containers across a cluster, scale those containers, and manage the health of those containers over time.

Kubernetes fixes a lot of common problems with container proliferation by sorting containers together into “Pods.” Pods add a layer of abstraction to grouped containers, which helps you schedule workloads and provide necessary services-like networking and storage-to those containers.

Red Hat OpenShift includes Kubernetes as a central component of the platform and is a certified Kubernetes offering by the CNCF. With Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, your developers can make new containerized apps, host them, and deploy them in the cloud with the scalability, control, and orchestration that can turn a good idea into new business quickly and easily.

New Relic Launches New Kubernetes Experience

New Relic’s new Kubernetes experience for applications deployed on managed and self-managed Kubernetes clusters helps engineers analyze application and cluster performance data together, bringing logs, alerts, metrics and other telemetry signals in context to mitigate the inherent challenges of operating in Kubernetes.

New Relic, the observability company, today launched a new Kubernetes experience that brings together Kubernetes application and cluster performance data in a single user interface within New Relic One Application Performance Monitoring, to help developers build more performant applications.

The experience is included as an essential part of the all-in-one New Relic One observability platform that allows engineers to get 3X+ more value than the competition, which requires provisioning separate SKUs with disjointed experiences and agent-based pricing models.

According to industry data from CNCF and New Relic, container and Kubernetes adoption have gone mainstream: usage has risen across organizations globally, with 93% of responding organizations using or planning to use containers in production, and 96% of respondents using or evaluating Kubernetes.

“Kubernetes adoption continues to grow as an essential strategy to accelerate application development. With New Relic’s new Kubernetes experience, developers and engineers can correlate and analyze application golden signals against cluster resources in minutes, all in a single UI,” said Alex Kroman, SVP and Product GM at New Relic.

New Relic’s new Kubernetes experience is now available to all full platform users of the New Relic One platform – the only all-in-one observability platform with a secure telemetry cloud, powerful full-stack analysis tools and predictable consumption pricing instead of disjointed SKU bundles.

All existing customers can access this new capability without any additional cost as part of their New Relic One account.

Search Engine Optimization

Search engine optimization is the process of improving the quality and quantity of website traffic to a website or a web page from search engines.

As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work, the computer-programmed algorithms that dictate search engine behavior, what people search for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines, and which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience.

SEO is performed because a website will receive more visitors from a search engine when websites rank higher on the search engine results page.

By 1997, search engine designers recognized that webmasters were making efforts to rank well in their search engine, and that some webmasters were even manipulating their rankings in search results by stuffing pages with excessive or irrelevant keywords.

Since the success and popularity of a search engine is determined by its ability to produce the most relevant results to any given search, poor quality or irrelevant search results could lead users to find other search sources.

In terms of search engine optimization, BERT intended to connect users more easily to relevant content and increase the quality of traffic coming to websites that are ranking in the Search Engine Results Page.

Search engine marketing is the practice of designing, running and optimizing search engine ad campaigns.

What Is SEO / Search Engine Optimization?

SEO stands for “Search engine optimization.” In simple terms, it means the process of improving your site to increase its visibility when people search for products or services related to your business in Google, Bing, and other search engines.

Unlike paid search ads, you can’t pay search engines to get higher organic search rankings, which means SEO experts have to put in the work.

Search Engine Land’s Guide To SEO. As a companion to our Periodic Table of SEO Factors, Search Engine Land’s Guide To SEO walks you through the fundamentals of optimizing for search so you can develop a solid strategy to drive organic traffic to your site.

SEO vs. SEM. You have two ways to use search engines to help people find your website; search engine optimization and search engine marketing.

Keywords and keyphrases are the essence of search engine marketing and search engine optimisation strategies.

Search engine optimization receives a lot of love from inexperienced marketers.

SEO is simply what you do to your website and web pages to make them show up in “Organic” search results on search engines.

Make sure you learn how to hide content you don’t want indexed from search engines and that search engines can find the content you do want indexed, too.

How does it work? In essence, you use Google Adwords to place bids on keyphrases; you write an advert based on that keyphrase; the search engine places the advert near the top of the search rankings, and you pay the amount of the bid every time someone clicks on your advert.

Search engines crawl websites using a robot-an automated program that looks at all aspects of your website, including what is on the page and the metadata associated with that page.

If page content has not changed, the metadata likely will not need to be changed for previously improved pages.

These best practices cover how to write meta titles, descriptions, and headings for each page to improve how robots interpret and rank page content.

Meta Descriptions The description-sometimes called a meta description or page summary-is a blurb that explains to search engine users what they can expect to find on a page.

The page title was shortened, and the page content was split up to be more usable.

If you have web content that is duplicate or very similar to other pages, search engines can sometimes get confused about which page to deliver in its search results.

Variable Frequency Drives

From the VFD basics theory, we know a VFD can control the speed of the motor during the start and stop cycle, as well as throughout the running cycle by outputting adjustable frequency.

More… How does VFD work? Both three phase and single phase VFDs can convert input power to adjustable frequency and voltage source for controlling speed of AC induction motors.

The question is that is there any harmful effect on the VFDs due to capacitor switching? Does using a synchronous motor for reactive power control much better due to its smooth control? If the variable frequency drive is protected by fuses, we normally assume that the fuses will have sufficient interruption capacity to act as a protection device in their own right, without any additional circuit breaker.

The term, “Open-loop”, means there is no tension feedback signal to the VFD, the VFD control the output frequency or torque to achieve the control purpose, and with no relation whether there is an encoder or not.

Torque control mode means the VFD controls the motor torque instead of the frequency, the output frequency is automatically changed according to the speed.

The slide adaptations that are made in this setup description are because at a University the variable frequency drive is used for a specific motor and this made it possible to narrow and/or specify the original manual where the information to vague and include extra notes based on the problems that occurred during the installation of the variable frequency drive to the motor at the university.

Manufacturers also equip with a variety of instruments and indicators inside the variable frequency drive panels, such as voltmeter, ammeter, frequency meter, and power indicator light, alarm lights, running lights, power frequency lights etc, which will monitor the VFD control panels working status in real time.

What Is A Variable Frequency Drive?

A Variable Frequency Drive is a type of motor controller that drives an electric motor by varying the frequency and voltage supplied to the electric motor.

Frequency is directly related to the motor’s speed.

If an application does not require an electric motor to run at full speed, the VFD can be used to ramp down the frequency and voltage to meet the requirements of the electric motor’s load. As the application’s motor speed requirements change, the VFD can simply turn up or down the motor speed to meet the speed requirement.

Thus, the voltage on the DC bus becomes “Approximately” 650VDC. The actual voltage will depend on the voltage level of the AC line feeding the drive, the level of voltage unbalance on the power system, the motor load, the impedance of the power system, and any reactors or harmonic filters on the drive.

If we want to reduce the motor frequency to 30 Hz, then we simply switch the inverter output transistors more slowly.

If you have an application that does not need to be run at full speed, then you can cut down energy costs by controlling the motor with a variable frequency drive, which is one of the benefits of Variable Frequency Drives.

Because of the VFDs optimal control of the motor’s frequency and voltage, the VFD will offer better protection for your motor from issues such as electro thermal overloads, phase protection, under voltage, overvoltage, etc.

Variable-Frequency Drive

A variable-frequency drive is a type of motor drive used in electro-mechanical drive systems to control AC motor speed and torque by varying motor input frequency and, depending on topology, to control associated voltage or current variation.

A variable-frequency drive is a device used in a drive system consisting of the following three main sub-systems: AC motor, main drive controller assembly, and drive/operator interface.

The two other drive control platforms, vector control and direct torque control, adjust the motor voltage magnitude, angle from reference, and frequency so as to precisely control the motor’s magnetic flux and mechanical torque.

Depending on the sophistication of the drive multiple auto-starting behavior can be developed e.g. the drive auto-starts on power up but does not auto-start from clearing an emergency stop until a reset has been cycled.

Different MV drive topologies are configured in accordance with the voltage/current-combination ratings used in different drive controllers’ switching devices such that any given voltage rating is greater than or equal to one to the following standard nominal motor voltage ratings: generally either 2+3.⁄4.16 kV or 3+3.⁄6.6 kV, with one thyristor manufacturer rated for up to 12 kV switching.

In some applications a step-up transformer is placed between a LV drive and a MV motor load. MV drives are typically rated for motor applications greater than between about 375 and 750 kW. MV drives have historically required considerably more application design effort than required for LV drive applications.

Selection of optimum PWM carrier frequency for AC drives involves balancing noise, heat, motor insulation stress, common-mode voltage-induced motor bearing current damage, smooth motor operation, and other factors.

Solar Panel Micro Inverters: Everything You Need To Know

That’s because micro inverters connect directly to the back of each solar panel.

On the other hand, a micro inverter is installed beneath each panel in the space between the solar panel and your roof.

Because each solar panel has its own micro inverter, your system will be able to use as much energy as each panel is able to produce.

Solar panel micro inverters are safer than other inverters by keeping high-voltage DC off your roof.

AC coupled batteries are relatively new in the solar industry and provide easy compatibility between solar panel systems and solar battery storage.

After releasing their first solar panel inverter in 2008, Enphase Energy quickly established themselves among the best in the solar industry for the quality of their micro inverters.

If you’d like to learn more about Enphase micro inverters, solar panel technology or would like to learn more about switching to solar, contact us for a free quote.

Micro-Inverters

With increasing popularity, AC micro-inverters are transforming the world of PV solar power.

A solar micro-inverter, also referred as microinverter or micro inverter, converts direct current from a single solar panel to alternating current.

Micro-inverters are small inverters rated to handle the output of a single panel.

Micro-inverters contrast with conventional string or central inverter devices, which are connected to multiple solar panels.

Micro-inverters have several advantages over conventional central inverters.

Each micro-inverter obtains optimum power by performing maximum power point tracking for its connected panel.

Micro-inverters make is easy to assemble complete solar panel systems.

What Is A Solar Micro Inverter?

By definition, the central inverter is to connect the solar photovoltaic cells in series to reach a high voltage DC, and then convert it into the AC. However, the partial shadows, different inclination angles, orientations, stains, different degrees of aging, slight cracks and different temperatures of different photoelectric panels in the photovoltaic power station can easily cause system mismatch and drop of the output efficiency.

Every solar cell module is equipped with the micro-inversion power source.

Through optimization of different modules’ output power, the integrated output power is maximized.

Even if some battery panels are affected by shadows and dust, the inversion power source optimizer can still track the best partial maximum power point, which can retrieve more than 57% of the power generation capacity lost.

The inverter module can directly convert the power generated by the photovoltaic module into the AC for the AC load use or transmit it to the grid.

Try to improve the power generation capacity of every inversion power source module, trace the maximum power and track the MPP of every module to improve the power generation capacity of the photovoltaic system by 25%. Adjust the voltage and current of every row of photoelectric panels until a full balance is achieved to avoid system mismatch.

Users can DIY the solar power generation system with less reliance on the installation service providers.

Solar Micro-Inverter

Microinverters contrast with conventional string and central solar inverters, in which a single inverter is connected to multiple solar panels.

The primary disadvantages of a microinverter include a higher initial equipment cost per peak watt than the equivalent power of a central inverter since each inverter needs to be installed adjacent to a panel.

A microinverter has often a longer lifespan than a central inverter, which will need replacement during the lifespan of the solar panels.

If the customer originally purchased a 2500 W inverter for their 2300 W of panels, they cannot add even a single panel without over-driving the inverter.

With a central inverter you may have only one set of panel connections for dozens of panels, a single AC output, and one box.

While microinverters generally have a lower efficiency than string inverters, the overall efficiency is increased due to the fact that every inverter / panel unit acts independently.

In contrary, with string based inverters, the inverter size need to be in accordance with the amount of panels or the amount of peak power.

What Is A Micro-Inverter?

A micro-inverter is device that connects to a single solar panel, converting DC from the panel into AC, which can power household appliances or be sent into the grid for energy credits.

Traditional inverters, called string inverters, are designed to manage groups of panels plugged into an input on the inverter.

You might wire 24 solar panels into an SMA Sunny Boy inverter in two strings.

In simple terms, a micro-inverter is an inverter that controls the output of a single solar panel.

You might have a string of 350W panels, but if one panel falls to 300W output, every panel in the string is restricted to that 300W mark.

The same isn’t possible with string inverters, which have minimum string size requirements because the panels need to supply enough voltage to the inverter to power it on.

If you mix South- and East-facing panels on the same string, the panels facing East will drag the rest of the string down.

Is the general term used for any type of microscopy where the light is transmitted from a source on the opposite side of the specimen to the objective lens.

The microscopy techniques requiring a transmitted light path include bright field, dark field, phase contrast, polarization and differential interference contrast optics.

Microscopy does routinely provide valuable information on the quality of specimen and the type of inflammatory response present.

New imaging methods, including confocal, two-photon, and polarization microscopy, yield spatial resolutions close to the theoretical limit for visible light.

Photoactivated localization microscopy, fluorescence photoactivation localization microscopy, and stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy break the diffraction limit by detecting the positions of single molecules.

IntroductionThis is an introduction to the theory of light microscopy.

The University Of Edinburgh

Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view samples & objects that cannot be seen with the unaided eye.

Light microscopy is a general term used for any type of microscopy where light is being transmitted from a source which is on the opposite side of the sample, to the objective lens.

Generally, the light is passed through a condenser to focus it on the sample to have maximum brightness.

After the light has passed through the sample, it goes through the objective lens to magnify the image of the sample & then to the oculars, where the enlarged image is viewed.

Light microscopic techniques have significantly developed over the past 20 years & now provide an indispensable tool to study molecular events at subcellular level in order to gain temporal & spatial information at high resolution.

To achieve optimal results, it is essential to carefully plan & carry out microscopy-based experiments, which requires the understanding of at least the basics of cell biology, sample preparation & fluorescence light microscopy.

Microscopists explore the relationships between structures & properties for a very wide variety of materials ranging from soft to very hard, from inanimate materials to living organisms, in order to better understand their behaviour.

Types, Parts, History, Diagram, & Facts

The most familiar type of microscope is the optical, or light, microscope, in which glass lenses are used to form the image.

Single-lensed simple microscopes can magnify up to 300×-and are capable of revealing bacteria-while compound microscopes can magnify up to 2,000×.

A simple microscope can resolve below 1 micrometre; a compound microscope can resolve down to about 0.2 μm.Images of interest can be captured by photography through a microscope, a technique known as photomicrography.

Other types of microscopes use the wave nature of various physical processes.

The most important is the electron microscope, which uses a beam of electrons in its image formation.

A scanning electron microscope, which creates a reflected image of relief in a contoured specimen, usually has a lower resolution than a TEM but can show solid surfaces in a way that the conventional electron microscope cannot.

The scanning tunneling microscope, which can create images of atoms, and the environmental scanning electron microscope, which generates images using electrons of specimens in a gaseous environment, use other physical effects that further extend the types of objects that can be examined.

Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy: A Review

Light sheet fluorescence microscopy functions as a non-destructive microtome and microscope that uses a plane of light to optically section and view tissues with subcellular resolution.

This method is well suited for imaging deep within transparent tissues or within whole organisms, and because tissues are exposed to only a thin plane of light, specimen photobleaching and phototoxicity are minimized compared to wide-field fluorescence, confocal, or multiphoton microscopy.

LSFMs produce well-registered serial sections that are suitable for three-dimensional reconstruction of tissue structures.

Because of a lack of a commercial LSFM microscope, numerous versions of light sheet microscopes have been constructed by different investigators.

This review describes development of the technology, reviews existing devices, provides details of one LSFM device, and shows examples of images and three-dimensional reconstructions of tissues that were produced by LSFM. Research Support, N.I.H., Extramural.

Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy

Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy is a general name for a constantly growing family of planar illumination techniques that have revolutionized how optical imaging of biological specimens can be performed.

The first combination of planar illumination with fluorescence microscopy came in 1993 when Arne Voie and David Burns of Francis Spelman’s laboratory at the University of Washington pioneered Orthogonal-Plane Fluorescence Optical Sectioning microscopy, an LSFM they applied towards imaging and mapping the guinea pig inner ear cochlea.

If a light sheet thickness of ~2 micrometers is chosen and imaging is performed with 561 nm green light, the confocal parameter will be approximately 22.4 micrometers, which is sufficient for single cell imaging, but not for imaging larger specimens.

One solution to decoupling the interdependence of the confocal parameter and beam waist thickness involves scanning a thin light sheet in the lateral directions and subsequently stitching image sections together to create a larger composite image than dictated by the confocal parameter alone.

The utility of lattice light sheet imaging has been further demonstrated for single molecule tracking and super-resolution imaging experiments.

Thus the technique is more conducive to high-quality structural imaging of fixed samples instead. A popular alternative and/or addition to multiview imaging is dual-sided light sheet illumination: a pair of opposed illumination objectives provide alternating light sheet illumination, penetrating from opposite sides of the specimen, with the detection objective(s) still placed orthogonally to both illumination objectives, and providing more homogenous illumination of sample features.

Super-resolution with LSFM. There are a variety of alternative imaging modalities for realizing super-resolution imaging beyond the diffraction limit with LSFM. Single molecule tracking and localization is becoming a fairly widespread technique for use in conjunction with LSFM. One approach, termed individual molecule localization SPIM combines light sheet illumination with single molecule localization microscopy.

Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy

The magnitude and the effects of scattering on the light sheet can be minimized by employing a pulsed IR laser to achieve two-photon excitation, as the IR light is scattered ~ 16-fold less than visible light so the light sheet will not be as broadened by light scattering; furthermore, since the excitation depends on the square of the instantaneous intensity, it is unlikely that randomly scattered light could create excitation outside of the intended light sheet.

Brief overview of light sheet microscopy flavorsThe basic principle of light sheet microscopy is that optical sectioning is achieved by illuminating the sample from the side with a thin sheet of laser light that will excite the fluorophores in the sample only in a relatively narrow plane.

The light sheet itself can be static, formed by a cylindrical lens, the so-called selective plane illumination microscopy, or it can be generated dynamically by scanning a point source of laser light at high frequency across the sample, the so-called digital scanned laser light sheet fluorescence microscopy.

The central concept behind light sheet-based microscopy is specimen illumination in a single plane with a thin sheet of laser light and recording of the fluorescence emitted by fluorophores in this thin section with a camera-based detection system oriented at a right angle to the light sheet.

A highly inclined sheet of light is created and fluorescence observation is limited to a small FOV, where the light sheet and focal plane of the detection system overlap reasonably well.

Light sheets are created either by focusing with a cylindrical lens, by scanning a laser beam rapidly through the sample, resulting in a “Virtual” sheet , or more elaborate schemes, such as designing the light pattern in the back focal plane of the objective lens to achieve a “Lattice” light sheet.

To achieve axial super-resolution, light sheet illumination has been combined with STED and RSFP-based RESOLFT: A “Hollow” light sheet silences fluorophores above and below the central plane, reducing the effective sheet thickness.

Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy

In contrast to epifluorescence microscopy only a thin slice of the sample is illuminated perpendicularly to the direction of observation.

Because LSFM scans samples by using a plane of light instead of a point, it can acquire images at speeds 100 to 1,000 times faster than those offered by point-scanning methods.

Starting in 1994, LSFM was developed as orthogonal plane fluorescence optical sectioning microscopy or tomography mainly for large samples and later as the selective/single plane illumination microscopy also with sub-cellular resolution.

This way a thin sheet of light or lightsheet is created in the focal region that can be used to excite fluorescence only in a thin slice of the sample.

In most LSFMs the detection objective and sometimes also the excitation objective are fully immersed in the sample buffer, so usually the sample and excitation/detection optics are embedded into a buffer-filled sample chamber, which can also be used to control the environmental conditions during the measurement.

Some LSFMs have been developed where the sample is mounted as in standard microscopy and the excitation and detection optics are constructed in an upright plane from above.

As the illumination typically penetrates the sample from one side, obstacles lying in the way of the lightsheet can disturb its quality by scattering and/or absorbing the light.

The Light Sheet Microscopy Principle

Instead of using a static light sheet, modern LSFM implementations generate a “Virtual” light sheet by digitally scanning a single laser beam sideways through the imaging plane of the specimen.

Due to light diffraction, a light sheet is only thin in the middle of the field of view.

Thickness of the light sheet must therefore be fitted to the size of the field of view, which a modern light sheet fluorescence microscope manages with automated zoom optics in the illumination beam path.

Once the light sheet reaches the far end of the specimen, it is often considerably thicker than optimal, which can be avoided by illuminating the specimen from the opposite direction.

The dual illumination option of Lightsheet 7 employs two opposing illumination objective lenses to illuminate the specimen from two opposite directions, and thus efficiently alleviates the problem of light sheet degradation in the sample.

Sidewise illumination of a light sheet microscope can produce stripe-like image artefacts, which are shadows of absorbing particles in the specimen that stretch sideways through an image.

These stripes can be reduced by quickly pivoting the light sheet around the specimen so that the specimen is illuminated along a continuously changing direction.

Here’S Why Ericsson Shares Are Plunging Today

The U.S. Department of Justice admitted that Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson failed to make adequate disclosures about its operations in Iraq before entering a deferred prosecution agreement in 2019 Bloomberg reports.

The DOJ also determined that Ericsson breached the agreement by “Failing to make subsequent disclosure” after signing it.

Ericsson’s dealings in Iraq came to the fore when it admitted receiving questions from the media regarding past compliance-related matters in the country.

In October, the DOJ accused Ericsson of breaching a $1 billion agreement with prosecutors in 2019 to end a long-running corruption probe.

Ericsson believed its internal investigation from 2019 covered the descriptions in the media reports about its employees, vendors, and suppliers in Iraq.

The probe could not identify that any Ericsson employee was directly involved in financing terrorist organizations, and “Based on our current assessment of the media reports, we do not believe they change this conclusion,” the company told Bloomberg.

Ericsson added that the investigation led to several employees’ exits and multiple other disciplinary and other remedial actions.

Obstetrics

As a medical specialty, obstetrics is combined with gynecology under the discipline known as obstetrics and gynecology, which is a surgical field.

Prior to the 18th and 19th centuries, midwifery was well established but obstetrics was not recognized as a specific medical specialty.

Techniques and works of gynecology declined; very little of his works were recorded and survived to the late 18th century when gynecology and obstetrics reemerged as a medical specialism.

Obstetrics entered a stage of stagnation in the 19th century, which lasted until about the 1880s.

As midwifery began to develop, so did the profession of obstetrics near the end of the century.

The development of obstetrics as a practice for accredited doctors happened at the turn of the 18th century and thus was very differently developed in Europe and in the Americas due to the independence of many countries in the Americas from European powers.

Men were introduced into the field of obstetrics in the nineteenth century and resulted in a change of the focus of this profession.

What Is Obstetrics?

While obstetrics deals with pregnancy and its associated procedures and complications, gynaecology involves treating women who are not pregnant.

The field of obstetrics thus deals with the wellbeing of the pregnant mother as well as the delivery and healthy outcome.

Obstetricians closely work with the paediatricians and neonatologists to deal with care of the newborn baby to reduce the chances of mortality and disease of the newborn.

Obstetricians are responsible for working in collaboration with midwives to monitor and assist normal delivery in a woman during labour.

Their functions include facilitating delivery by performing episiotomy that involves placing strategic cuts over the perineum of the pregnant mother to enlarge the birth canal.

If the baby is not in its birthing position with the head down, the obstetrician manipulates the baby from outside to bring it to its correct position.

To become a qualified obstetrician, both obstetrics and gynaecology are chosen as specialism subjects.

Obstetrics And Gynecology

Obstetrician-gynecologists are physicians who possess special knowledge, skills and professional capability in the medical and surgical care of the female reproductive system and associated disorders, such that it distinguishes them from other physicians and enables them to serve as consultants to other physicians and as primary physicians for women.

Resident education in obstetrics-gynecology must include four years of accredited, clinically-oriented graduate medical education, which must be focused on reproductive health care and ambulatory primary health care for women, including health maintenance, disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, consultation, and referral.

There are also subspecialties in obstetrics and gynecology, which require additional training: maternal-fetal medicine specialists are obstetricians/gynecologists who are prepared to care for, and to consult on, patients with high-risk pregnancies; and reproductive endocrinologists are capable of managing complex problems related to reproductive endocrinology and infertility, including aspects of assisted reproduction, such as in vitro fertilization.

Obstetrics and gynecology is a broad and diverse branch of medicine, including surgery, management of the care of pregnant women, gynecologic care, oncology, and primary health care for women.

Office practice consists of providing women with preventive examinations and other primary care and identifying gynecologic problems.

The specialty of OB/GYN covers a variety of health care for women.

As such an OB/GYN can perform primary care, have continuity of care, and provide surgical services.

Email – Visitors coming to your website through email marketing campaigns.

What you can do instead to have a fair shot at improved conversion metrics is do away with all unnecessary fields or combine them if possible to avoid putting off visitors, have a progress bar indicator for longer forms, and experiment with required and optional fields to find out which ones are absolutely necessary and can’t be done without.

New visitor conversion rate will tell you about the first impression your site leaves, whether or not it gets new prospects interested, how effectively your content engages with them, how it performs in terms of usability and functionality, and so on.

In today’s day and age where improving marketing ROI is a colossal challenge facing businesses across the globe, conversion marketing becomes an indispensable strategy.

While you’ll find numerous tips in every digital marketing playbook, finding success in conversion marketing is an iterative process that depends largely on the amount of effort you put into understanding your audience, telling a compelling story, and offering delightful experiences.

What Is Conversion Marketing?

Conversion marketing is a concept all marketers must tackle in an attempt to figure out why customers are or aren’t converting on a website.

Conversion marketing, specifically, focuses on optimizing content with just the right mix of strategies to transform a lead into a ‘convert’.

How do you know if conversions are happening? By measuring the conversion rate, or the percentage of overall visitors who perform your action.

The idea of conversion marketing takes into account many things, including how the offer is being made, the timing of special offers, and even the design of the website – right down to the fonts and colors used! With so many things to consider, how do you pick strategies that will boost conversions? Let’s take a look at a few examples of possible conversion-boosters.

Conversion marketing involves strategies designed to move a prospect in your digital initiatives such as emails or websites, to a conversion.

Conversions are measured in a percentage known as conversion rate, comparing the number of converts to the total number of visitors.

Some of the most critical conversion marketing strategies to consider include email marketing, split testing and creating a compelling call-to-action.

What Is Conversion Marketing? Definition, Examples And Strategies.

Conversion marketing is something that all marketers must understand why customers aren’t turning on a website.

According to research, email marketing can assist you in recovering about 15% of abandoned carts and boost online business revenue by 50%. You may email your customers at least a day before a cart is left to remind the customer of the items left behind.

According to Adobe Digital Index, an average e-commerce business allows 80% of its marketing budget to acquire, but its repeat customers make 41% of its revenue.

If your existing customers are not happy with your offers and customer support, how can you upsell to existing customers? Through the chat feature, you can look after customer requests for personalization and coordinate with the staff about your orders and deliveries.

Nowadays, customer expectations are growing, particularly when everything is done instantly; customers want websites to load fast, deliveries to arrive at the soonest possible time, and queries to be addressed immediately.

Boost your conversions by upselling your satisfied customers and please them with responsive customer support through a live chat or chatbot feature on your website.

As a result, they use conversion optimization solutions to deliver quality customer support in international markets everywhere.

Conversion Rate Optimization: The Complete Guide

Conversion rate optimization is the process of optimizing your site or landing page experience based on website visitor behavior to help improve the probability of the visitor taking desired actions on the said page.

The best way to improve your chances and get more conversions is by running effective conversion rate optimization campaigns.

Running conversion rate optimization campaigns for their own websites or their clients can significantly add to their conversions and uplift revenue, which can lead to better ROI for their work and help in retaining clients and giving an overall good experience for their business.

Multiple conversion rate optimization frameworks exist which can effectively help conversion rate optimizers plan and execute optimization campaigns.

For most marketers, adding automatic image sliders on their homepage may be one of the best ways to showcase what’s new and/or upcoming on your website, but almost all conversion experts suggest that these sliders can significantly reduce your conversion rate.

When you’re optimizing a crucial page of your conversion funnel, you may develop a hypothesis to improve its conversion rate and run an A/B test.

From mapping the importance of website optimization to strategizing the means and ways to improve site performance, conducting A/B tests, and using the results to boost marketing efforts, conversion rate optimization has become a mainstream effort.

Conversion Rate Optimization

Your site’s conversion rate is the number of times a user completes a goal divided by your site traffic.

Conversion rate optimization happens after the visit makes it to your site.

This is different from conversion optimization for SEO or paid ads which focuses on who clicks through to your site from the organic search results, how many clicks you get, and which keywords are driving traffic.

To find out the conversion rate for your site, you’ll look at all unique orders divided the total number of sessions.

Conversion Rate Optimization: 8 Ways To Get Started

Conversion rate optimization results in highly-qualified leads, increased revenue, and lower acquisition costs.

The average conversion rate of ecommerce sites in the food and beverage sector is 5.5% whereas the average in the hair care sector is 3.5%. If your conversion rate is lower than you’d like – maybe it’s below average in your industry, or lower than your top competitors, or simply underperforming against your own goals – then it’s time to optimize.

So if you had 500 submissions and 20,000 visitors last quarter, then your conversion rate would be 2.5%. You can repeat this process for every conversion opportunity on your site.

You can calculate your website’s overall conversion rate by dividing the total number of conversions for every conversion opportunity on your site by the total number of visitors on your site.

A lead flow is another conversion rate optimization element you can include on your site.

Landing pages are an important part of the modern marketer’s toolkit and, as mentioned earlier, integral to conversion rate optimization.

The purpose of conversion rate optimization is to improve the likelihood of visitors taking a desired action on a webpage.

What Is Conversion Rate Optimization? Definition & Principles Of CRO- Omniconvert

According to the end goal, the conversion rate value can vary a lot so there’s no real standard for a good conversion rate.

According to industry, the average conversion rate might be higher or lower, but that’s quite irrelevant to the individual website owner because regardless of their conversion rate there is always room for improvement.

So if out of 40 visitors, for example, 5 of them complete a transaction, then your conversion rate will be x 100 = a 12.5% conversion rate.

If out of 1000 people interacting with your ad, 50 of them visit the product page attached to it, your conversion rate would be 5%. Monitoring conversion rates over specific periods of time is an essential part of your conversion rate optimization process, as it shows you how well the content is performing and whether or not the results of your optimization efforts are satisfactory.

CRO is usually done in-house or it can be outsourced to a digital agency that offers conversion rate optimization services.

One of these conversion rate optimization tools is Omniconvert.

If you’re looking for user-friendly software that makes the process of conversion optimization easy without requiring the additional knowledge, Omniconvert is it and can help any website reach a higher conversion rate.

Spatial Light Modulators – HOLOEYE Photonics AG

Spatial light modulator is a general term describing devices that are used to modulate amplitude, phase, or polarization of light waves in space and time.

The LUNA Spatial Light Modulator is our most compact SLM platform for integration into small sized or even portable solutions.

The SLM is capable of color sequential phase operation.

For phase SLMs the response time typically is below the Input frame rate.

Addressing the SLM:. The optical function or information to be displayed on HOLOEYE Spatial Light Modulators can be taken directly from an optic design software or an image source and can be transferred by a computer interface.

Using DVI/HDMI ports of standard PC graphics cards, the Spatial Light Modulator can be used just like an external plug & play monitor and no special software or drivers are necessary to operate the SLM. No matter which software is used to calculate optical functions, if you are able to address a bitmap image on a second monitor output of the graphics card you are able to operate the SLM. Also standard image viewer software can be used.

For an easy start and even more convienent operation HOLOEYE provides a software package with each SLM. It contains a Pattern Generator Software, a Slideshow Player software and an SLM Display SDK for different development environments.

Fr Spatial Light Modulators are quasiplanar devices, allowing for the modulation of the amplitude, phase and polarization, or a combination of these parameters of an incident light beam according to the two spatial dimensions of the modulator.

Spatial light modulators are two-dimensional objects, enabling to modulate, at any point of the SLM surface, through a local change of the optical path, the intensity, phase or polarization of an incident light beam.

Reflective SLMs. Reflective SLMs are particularly sought as they enable to fold the associated optical system, while light propagates twice in the modulating layer, which, in turn, increases the dynamic range.

The reflectivity is not 100% as some of the light may be diffracted into higher orders due to the grating like structure of the pixel matrix while some part of light is also scattered and absorbed at the interpixel gaps.

Photoniques.com 63 BU Y ER’S GUIDE Spatial light modulators In so-called light valve modulators, or OASLM, a biased photo-conductive substrate replaces the segmented electrode and the voltage across the LC layer is locally controlled by an ancillary absorbed control beam, often referred as the “Recording” beam, as opposed to the “Readout” beam.

Dielectric metasurfaces might also be part of the next-generation of SLMs. CONCLUSION Spatial light modulators, thanks to their dynamic attractive optical capacities and to their technological maturity, are widespread in several scientific and industrial domains.

Efron C. Rosales-Guzmán and Andrew Forbes, How to Shape Light with Spatial Light Modulators, SPIE Spotlight A. A. Zinchik, Application of spatial light modulators for generation of laser beams with a spiral phase distribution, Sci.

Melia Bonomo / SLM Intro

Optically-addressed – one light beam is used to change a variable associated with another light beam; the optical control beam is often called the “Write beam” and the incident beam is the “Read beam”.

The modulation mechanism refers to the intermediate step between addressing the SLM with an input signal and actually altering the incident light beam.

One of the biggest distinguishing qualities of liquid crystal spatial light modulators is the type of microdisplay that is used to collect and modulate the incident light – either transmissive or reflective.

Due to the liquid crystal’s birefringence, the light beam undergoes a phase modulation based on the relative orientation between the LC molecules and electric field.

On a much smaller scale, Rayleigh scattering occurs between the electric field of the incident light beam and the electrons of the liquid crystal rod-like molecule.

Since each molecule is tilted away from the longitudinal axis by a certain angle α, the polarization of incident light will be rotated by an angle as it exits the molecule.

The most commonly used models are electrooptical with liquid crystal molecules used as the modulation material; the alignment of these molecules and their birefringence make it possible to modulate the amplitude and/or phase of an incident light beam.

Spatial Light Modulators

The damage threshold provided in the table to the right are measured data for Thorlabs’ family of Exulus® Spatial Light Modulators.

The damage threshold is then assigned to be the highest power/energy that the optic can withstand without causing damage.

Absorption is either due to an intrinsic property of the optic or due to surface irregularities; thus LIDT values are only valid for optics meeting or exceeding the surface quality specifications given by a manufacturer.

While many optics can handle high power CW lasers, cemented or highly absorptive optics tend to have lower CW damage thresholds.

If your power density is less than the adjusted LIDT of the optic, then the optic should work for your application.

As previously stated, pulsed lasers typically induce a different type of damage to the optic than CW lasers.

Pulsed lasers often do not heat the optic enough to damage it; instead, pulsed lasers produce strong electric fields capable of inducing dielectric breakdown in the material.

Spatial Light Modulator

A spatial light modulator is an object that imposes some form of spatially varying modulation on a beam of light.

Usually, a SLM modulates the intensity of the light beam.

As its name implies, the image on an electrically addressed spatial light modulator is created and changed electronically, as in most electronic displays.

The image on an optically addressed spatial light modulator, also known as a light valve, is created and changed by shining light encoded with an image on its front or back surface.

As long as the OASLM is powered, the image is retained even after the light is extinguished.

In a process called active tiling, images displayed on an EASLM are sequentially transferred to different parts on an OASLM, before the whole image on the OASLM is presented to the viewer.

Multiphoton intrapulse interference phase scan is a technique based on the computer-controlled phase scan of a linear-array spatial light modulator.

What Is A Spatial Light Modulator?

A spatial light modulator uses the input of an electrical or optical signal to alter light and create an image as fast as multiple times per millisecond.

The many varieties of spatial light modulator can perform electrical or optical functions individually or combine them in one modulator.

Liquid crystal is often the medium used by a spatial light modulator, while a control circuit processes data into the pixel array for each frame of an image.

Ultraviolet and short-, mid-, or long-wave infrared wavelengths can be used to modify a specific wavelength in the light spectrum as well.

A spatial light modulator is sometimes used in an effort to control the direction of laser beams, to correct the deviation of light waves, and for processing and analyzing images.

The spatial light modulator can provide such precise control of light that engineers are considering its use in optical computing and holographic data storage.

The modulator and the liquid crystal element can be built on a single silicone chip for placement on circuit board components for computer video cards.

Digital Spatial Light Modulators

Spatial control of the phase and amplitude of a laser beam is useful for applications ranging from imaging and holography to interferometry and optical tweezers, reports Neil Savage.

“Some of the applications are fascinating,” says Ross Nakatsuji, sales group leader at Cambridge Research and Instrumentation, a leading supplier of SLMs based in the United States.

He sees increasing use of SLMs in biomedical applications, whether it’s allowing more precise cutting in laser surgery, or using optical tweezers to separate cells in a Petri dish.

Researchers wishing to sort cells can place an array of focused spots on a single cell and use them as grappling hooks to move the cell around.
