6LoWPAN is the name of an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard that defines an approach for routing Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) over low-power wireless networks. 6LoWPAN is intended to bring the benefits of standard IP networking to low-power mesh and sensor networks, which, in the past, often used proprietary technologies. 6LoWPAN uses a compact representation of IPv6 and can be implemented in a small footprint protocol stack appropriate for devices with limited processing power and memory.

The Windows Server operating system running in full 64-bit mode on Intel or AMD x86 processors is known as 64-bit Windows Server. Most instances of Windows Server ran in 32-bit mode, even if hosted on a machine whose hardware supported 64-bit mode, up until Windows Server 2008 R2 began shipping. From that point forward, Windows Server will only operate in 64-bit mode, and all new installations are, therefore, 64-bit.

Five-part checklist to help eliminate waste in the workplace: In Japanese — “Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu and Shitsuke”; loosely translated as “Sort, Straighten, Sanitize, Standardize and Sustain.” Using the 5S approach is frequently a “kaizen event.”

4K x 2K is a screen resolution for next-generation HDTVs. The screen format is 3840 pixels by 2160 pixels, which offers a total resolution of 8.3 megapixels. This is a four-fold improvement in resolution compared with current 1080 HD screens, which offer only a total resolution of 2.1 megapixels. 4K x 2K is also a digital cinema format.

The fourth generation (4G) Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) standard is for next-generation local- and wide-area mobile platforms supporting high peak data rates; handover between wireless bearer technologies; Internet Protocol (IP) core and radio transport networks for voice, video and data services; and support for call control and signaling. With peak data rates of 100 Mbps in WANs and 1 Gbps in fixed or low-mobility situations, and all-IP core, radio access and transport networks, 4G will be mostly implemented as LTE-A.

A 450-millimeter (mm)-diameter silicon wafer is the next wafer-size transition for semiconductor manufacturing. 450-mm wafers provide 2.25 times the area of a 300-mm wafer and thus increase the number of devices that can be processed at one time. Depending on the device die size, up to 2.5 times more devices can be placed on a 450-mm wafer than on a 300-mm wafer.

Three-dimensional television (3D TV) services deliver 3D images to TV sets using stereoscopic imaging: where two slightly different images are superposed and transmitted to each eye. There are several technologies currently used to deliver 3D images on TV sets. They fall into two broad groups: those that require glasses, and those that don’t.

A three-dimensional scanner is a device that captures data about the shape and appearance of real-world objects to create 3D models of them. 3D scanners for consumer use are low-cost, easy-to-operate devices that provide basic scan, capture and export of 3D images.

3D fabricating technologies have been available since the late 1980s and have primarily been used in the field of prototyping for industrial design. More recently, the 3D printing quality has increased, and printer and supply costs have decreased to a level that broadens the appeal of 3D printing to a wider range of businesses, schools and consumers.Additive 3D printers deposit resin, plastic or another material, layer by layer, to build up a physical model. Inkjet 3D printers image successive layers of plastic powder, hardening each layer on contact, to build up the piece. The size of the part varies with the specific manufacturer’s printer and whether support structures are required.
