Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Manufactur-
ing, Internet Security, and Cyber Physical
Systems Driving Industrial Innovations E
The growth of IoT has transformed the way
end users interact with machines (automotive,
home appliances, etc.). The manufacturing
industry is expected to witness a digital rev-
olution with advancement in hybrid sensors,
predictive analytics, wearables, digital twins,
mass customization, 3D printing, edge com-
puting, robots, asset monitoring, smart grids,
and natural processing language.
Artificial Intelligence Model 'Learns'
from Patient Data to Make Cancer
Treatment Less Toxic E
MIT researchers are employing novel machine-
learning techniques to improve the quality of
life for patients by reducing toxic chemothera-
py and radiotherapy dosing for glioblastoma,
the most aggressive form of brain cancer.
Growing Demand for Edge Computing
in IoT E
The mobile AI market is expected to reach
$17.83 billion by 2023 from $5.11 billion in
2018, at a CAGR of 28.41% during the forecast
period.
Scientists Reduced the Weight of Optics
for Satellite Observation of the Earth
by 100 Times E
This optical element, created by the research
group of the Department of Supercomputers
and General Informatics of Samara University,
weighs only five grams and replaces a complex
and massive system of lenses and mirrors sim-
ilar to the one that is used in telephoto lenses
with a focal length of 300 mm and a weight of
500 grams.
3D Printing the Next Generation
of Batteries E
Additive manufacturing, otherwise known as
3D printing, can be used to manufacture po-
rous electrodes for lithium-ion batteries—but
because of the nature of the manufacturing
process, the design of these 3D printed elec-
trodes is limited to just a few possible archi-
tectures.
Sensor Technology to Improve Safety
and Health in Aged Care E
Flexible sensors developed at RMIT will be in-
tegrated into new health monitoring technolo-
gy to improve aged care, in a project supported
thr
ough a $1.7 million Federal
Government grant.
SEMI Testifies Against U.S. Tariffs,
Members Meet with Congressional
Leaders Urging Trade Action E
Two months after opposing $34 billion in U.S.
trade tariffs on behalf of the U.S. semiconduc-
tor manufacturing industry, Jonathan Davis,
global vice president of industry advocacy at
SEMI, this week spoke out against an addition-
al $16 billion in duties on Chinese goods.
New 3D-Printed Device Could Help
Treat Spinal Cord Injuries E
Engineers and medical researchers at the Uni-
versity of Minnesota have teamed up to create
a groundbreaking 3D-printed device that could
someday help patients with long-term spinal
cord injuries regain some function.
Semiconductor Market in Military and
Aerospace Industry 2018-2022 E
The Global semiconductor market in military
and aerospace industry to grow at a CAGR of
7.53% during the period 2018-2022.
