Where Innovation Meets Imagination
The next step in wireless connectivity is not really a step at all—it’s a leap. 5G Ultra Wideband will fundamentally change the ways we live, work, learn and play, and on a grand scale.
But a 5G-powered world won’t materialize out of thin air. It will be built off of existing networks and existing knowhow.
At Verizon, that process begins with America’s largest and most reliable 4G LTE network.

When a vehicle is in motion, audible or perceptible vibrations emanating from individual components can cause annoying automotive noise conveyed by the vehicle’s structure and rendered as airborne sound.
Acoustics experts refer to this phenomenon as NVH, which is short for noise, vibration, harshness.

But anyway, vertical farming refers to the practice of producing fruits and vegetables vertically, in stacked layers, perhaps on many floors inside a building, using artificial lights instead of the sun, and a whole range of relatively new technologies.
There are two main reasons why this type of farming – which is also known as indoor or urban farming – is a much-discussed topic now:
The third thing we could have added is that there is the range of new technologies available now that make vertical farming in urban areas cost-effective and possibly profitable. But we already mentioned that.
Foxconn boss Terry Gou has reiterated his commitment to building a multi-million-dollar factory in Mount Pleasant, in the US state of Wisconsin.
The chairman of Foxconn, which is better known as Hon Hai Precision in its native Taiwan, met with US President Donald Trump at the White House earlier this week.
After the meeting, media reports suggested that Foxconn will make additional investments in the Wisconsin facility.

Panasonic teamed up with real-estate developer Mitsui Fudosan to apply that technology and know-how to developing a commercial-grade robotic vacuum cleaner that can efficiently clean buildings.
Named the RULO Pro, the resulting product has been introduced in multiple facilities, beginning with Tokyo Midtown Hibiya.

The public’s priorities have changed. A lot of people, especially the younger generations, consider looking after the environment more important than roaring down the freeway in a fantastic muscle car.
The second option sounds good though.

If you’re among the millions of people who watched the sci-fi TV show Westworld and saw the folding smartphones used by some of the characters, you probably immediately thought, “I want one of those.”
That’s what we thought anyway.
And whereas the old, 1960s Star Trek showed off tablet computers and other technologies many decades before they were beamed into our collective – and possibly holographic – reality, nowadays, things happen slightly faster.

Increase in labor cost, safety concerns over traditional lawn mowers, and need for noise-free operation are some of the major factors that will drive the robotic lawn mower market.
Europe is expected to be the largest as well as fastest growing robotic lawn mower market during the forecasted period.

Panasonic began working on refrigerators as well as televisions and washing machines in anticipation of the approaching electrical age after the Second World War.
In 1952 an alliance was formed with Nakagawa Kikai Company, a specialist machine tool manufacturer that had made refrigerators. [Read more…] about Panasonic says it has sold 100 million household refrigerators
