5G & the Coming Transformation of Physical Products

An interview with Jeff Travers, Head of IoT at Ericsson.

CEDN: Why will 5G usher in such a huge transformation in how companies do business?

JT: 5G connectivity will be about 20 times faster than 4G and able to accommodate up to 1,000 additional devices per meter. As a result, 5G will enable new technologies at scale, such as connected vehicles and even connected healthcare, which were not previously feasible due to the limitations of 4G. In a nutshell, with 5G, nearly everything can be connected.

The history of burn-off ovens is the history of Pollution Control.

My father, Peyton Simpson, started Pollution Control Products Co. the way most businesses get started – he saw a need and he solved a problem. The year was 1971 and a neighboring business was having a difficult time complying with the new Clean Air Act of 1970. That company rebuilt electric motors, which required that the old copper wire coil and all varnish, epoxy, paint and insulation be removed and the stator thoroughly cleaned.

Prior to today’s stringent environmental laws, this was often done by soaking the motor parts in kerosene and

Murata Develops World’s Smallest 32.768 kHz MEMS Resonator Murata Americas announced that it has developed the world’s smallest 32.768kHz MEMS resonator, measuring just 0.9 x 0.6 x 0.3mm. With its miniaturized footprint, it is expected to make a significant contribution in reducing the size of IoT devices, wearables and healthcare devices. These applications demand longer operating times, reduced power consumption and an extended battery life – all of which this solution delivers. In addition to being 50 percent smaller than competing products, it also features excellent frequency accuracy as well.

The resonator is based on Murata’s

proprietary MEMS technology, which has lower ESR and provides the potential for lower power consumption in battery operated applications. Since it is equipped with built-in load capacitors that reduce external parasitic capacitance and mounting space, it enables greater flexibility in circuit design.

Also, with a silicon-based wafer-level chip scale packaging (WLCSP), the resonator can be packaged with an IC to eliminate the need for any external lowfrequency clock references. As such, the solution is ideally suited for use in medical patch type devices, smart cards, modules with communication

Shallow Digital Multimedia Receivers With vehicle dashboards becoming more complex than ever before, facing obstacles like receiver installation depth has been a challenge – until now! Kenwood is introducing its first ever shallow mounting depth, double-din sized touchscreen receivers, featuring Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility.

ADAS: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems ADAS: What does it mean? What does it mean to you? ADAS is the acronym for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. The idea is that by providing a safe interface to the driver, roadway safety should be improved. The machines are helping us watch out for things that we may not see with our own eyes; they’re like the eyes on the back of our heads. But what does this mean to you? The general benefit is clear – we along with everyone else will enjoy safer driving conditions.

Most accidents on the roads are due to human error, and nearly 10 percent of fatalities are due to distractions. But what it means is that we can help reduce these statistics; we are now enabled to promote and provide these technologies to the masses.

Popular applications in the category

for retrofit include Blind Spot Detection (BSD), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Pedestrian Detection Systems and Traffic Awareness Systems. “Many of these systems are easy to install and can be carried out by many DIY types,” states Augustin Leung, Vice President at Novus Radar Technologies. “There are so many almost plug and play systems available in the market, you just need to know what makes a good system to make an informed decision on which one to buy.”

CUB, a manufacturer of ADAS products, is an example of a reputable brand that has not only desirable features and performance, but some of the best quality in the industry. CUB is not only ISO9001 certified, but its manufacturing is IATF16949 certified as well. This

According to the technology research firm Gartner, more than 25 percent of cyber attacks will involve IoT devices by 2020. Most consumers, however, seem to be unaware that something as innocent as a WiFi-based baby monitor or a home security camera could open the door to cyber criminals. A hacker could cause potential physical, financial and emotional harm should they gain access into an unprotected home security device.

When connected to a monitor or video camera, a hacker could have full access to all of the same controls consumers have when logged in remotely.

This means that if the device has a talkback feature or the ability to pan and zoom a security camera, the hacker will be able to use that as well. Without adequate security, these connected devices provide a gateway into personal networks where confidential data can be stolen or vicious malware planted.

Consumers should be educated

The acronyms and phrases sound daunting at first, but once you learn the lingo, it all makes sense. So here is a quick glossary and reference: BSD: Blind Spot Detection – Informs you when there is a car in your rear quarter blindspot.

LCA: Lane Change Alert – Tells you when there is a car in your blind spot when you want to change lanes.

RCTA: Rear Cross Traffic Alert –

Informs you of approaching traffic from the sides as you are backing out of a parking space.

DOW: Door Open Warning – Keeps you, pedestrians, drivers and cyclists safe when you are parked along the road and want to open your door.

FCW: Forward Collision Warning – Tells you when you’re likely to hit something in front of you when driving.

LDW: Lane Departure Warning – Let’s you know you are leaving your marked lanes.

Pedestrian Detection System – Helps to avoid injuries where vehicles run over or strike pedestrians.

Traffic Awareness System – Watches oncoming traffic for you when you are stopped in a vulnerable situation, alerting you of an impending impact.

about the basic steps they can take to protect themselves, including changing password defaults and proper network set up and configuration. But just as importantly, retailers should be diligent when choosing which brand of cameras and monitor they offer.

The cybersecurity incidents that keep occurring are most often associated with products designed to provide maximum convenience to the customer, even if it meant loosening security policies (non-complex password setting policy, remote access and support capability).

While providing convenience to customers, the security industry needs to implement the right level of security policies that protect customers’ information.

When choosing an IP-based security solution, it is crucial to scrutinize and evaluate the manufacturer’s cybersecurity policies – what are their principles and practices? Do the built-in security mechanisms offered in their solutions use multi-layered encrypted communications, data protection capabilities and strong user authentication and password

proven encryption algorithms and secure coding is used, the removal of unused services and daemons, not using backdoors, the removal of default passwords, password guessing locks, firmware encryption and more. We have also updated many of our factory default settings to harden our devices even further.

We develop the mission critical parts of our IP/Wi-Fi cameras ourselves from the camera optics to our own chipsets, so we can ensure higher levels of quality control and ultimately increase security for our customers. We are not as reliant on off-the-shelf, potentially vulnerable components and technology, compared to competing vendors.

Digital Connectivity Revolutionizes Care for People with Hearing Loss Cochlear implants have improved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people across the world by providing access to sound. A cochlear implant is an electronic device that stimulates the hearing nerve and provides sound signals directly to the brain, which is entirely different to the way hearing aids work.

Many people with severe to profound hearing loss report difficulty conversing with family members at dinner or participating in a meeting at work, but research studies have shown that adults with cochlear implants understand sentences on average almost seven times better than they could with hearing aids.

With so many people relying on cochlear implant technology to live their daily lives, losing access to sound

can be devastating in cases where a replacement sound processor is needed.

Thankfully, Cochlear, the world’s leading manufacturer of cochlear implants, has introduced a cloud-based technology called Cochlear™ Link that allows Cochlear to remotely connect to a patient’s hearing health provider, download the patient’s personalized sound processor settings and send out a replacement sound processor…all in as little as 24 hours.

“Cochlear is the world’s leader in hearing implant technology, but our obligation to the customer doesn’t end by just launching a new product in the market.

We help reconnect people to sound, which often means that our products are an essential component of our customers’

The Zigbee Alliance and Thread Group Address IoT Industry Fragmentation The Zigbee Alliance and Thread Group announced the availability of the Dotdot specification over Thread’s IP network.

This is the first time developers can confidently use an established, open and interoperable IoT language over a lowpower wireless IP network, which will help unify the fragmented connected device industry and unlock new markets.

“We’re at an exciting point in the Smart Home where the broader consumer market is embracing mainstream connected products; 26 percent of consumers own a smart home device according to our new research,” said Tom Kerber, Director of IoT Strategy at Parks Associates. “To be competitive in a market where consumers will rely on these devices for years to come, companies must take a long-term view, aligning with technologies that will enable innovation and interoperability, and continue to deliver on the promise of the IoT for every stakeholder.”

Dotdot is the Zigbee Alliance’s universal language for the IoT, making it possible for smart objects to work togeth-

er on any network. Thread is the Thread Group’s open, IPv6-based, low-power, secure and future-proof mesh networking technology for IoT products. These two leading organizations have come together to deliver a mature, scalable solution for IoT interoperability that isn’t confined to single-vendor ecosystems or technologies .

Delivering on the Promise of the IoT The early internet faced the same challenges as today’s IoT. Currently, connected devices can struggle to deliver a seamless experience because they speak different languages (or in technical terms, use different “application layers”). For the internet, the industry solved this problem with open, universal protocols over IP – a combination that unlocked and accelerated innovation. Dotdot’s common device language over Thread’s IP network extends this same proven approach to the Internet of Things. With Dotdot over Thread, product and platform vendors can ensure the high-quality, interoperable user experiences needed to drive growth, while IP allows vendors to

EliteGrip The EliteGrip recognizes when the charging coil in your phone is perfectly aligned with the Qi charger.

The alignment automatically activates motorized arms to gently close and hold your device securely while you drive. A built-in thermal management gap between the phone and charger allows heat from your device to disperse and be replaced by cooler air. The EliteGrip delivers up to 10 watts and supports Apple and Samsung Fast Charge. The auto-dimming LED light ring provides a soft blue glow during charging. Its maneuverable dual-pivot articulated base lives, and we do everything in our power to ensure that our customers never lose access to sound,” said Craig Sharp, Group Product Manager of Connected Care at Cochlear.

By minimizing the time it takes for patients to receive a replacement device, Cochlear Link dramatically reduces the stressful “off the air” period a patient can experience without their sound processor, which is sometimes a period that is spent in total silence. It means patients can quickly get back to work or school, and carry on with their lives as usual. In addition, by utilizing secure cloud-based technology to transfer patient information between the clinic and Cochlear’s service and repair center, Cochlear has been able to save clinics time and money by relieving them of the burden of having to field device service requests from patients, allowing them to spend more

maintain a direct connection to their device – and their customers.

Simplified Product Development with Mature Technologies and Diverse Supply Chains It’s important to note that Dotdot over Thread is not another new standard.

Dotdot enables the open, mature and already widely adopted application layer at the heart of Zigbee to work across Thread’s IP network – the same network technology fundamental to the internet.

For product managers, new standards represent risk. Dotdot and Thread are backed by global, industry-leading companies and represent two of the most robust, widely deployed and well-supported connectivity and interoperability technologies, driving billions of products and networks already in homes and offices.

“Zigbee and Dotdot are the product of 15 years of innovation by our members, and the experience that comes from over a decade of building successful products,” said Tobin Richardson, Zigbee Alliance President and Chief Executive Officer. “This maturity is why major technology leaders have chosen Zigbee, and Dotdot over Thread now brings that value to new markets.

Trinseo Plastics Support Consumer Electronics Industry As consumer technologies evolve, product developers and designers need to consider materials that they may not have considered in the past. Plastics have emerged as an important solution to various new-product challenges in that they enable properties such as portability, durability and appealing aesthetics while allowing additional characteristics such as biocompatibility, ignition and chemical resistance and/or various degrees of transparency. Trinseo, the global manufacturer and compounder of performance plastics, has been helping customers find just the right solution.

According to Trinseo material scientists, ideally, plastics should be selected upfront, when an application is being designed. It is important at an early stage to gain an understanding of how a product will be used as well as the critical

mechanical and aesthetic characteristics necessary to prevent delays in commercializing the product (including obtaining required regulatory approvals) and provide the best chance of success when it is ultimately introduced to the marketplace.

Take for example a property such as color. Color can address a number of usability and consumer acceptance issues. Color not only makes products more attractive but, also can provide important indicators of function. Color has long been known to impact emotions.

While bright, vivid colors can tend to be attractive and invigorating, cooler colors such as blue and green have a calming effect.

Color can also alert a customer to proper usability. For example, what is the top; what is the bottom? Opposing colors can provide this clue. Instructions can

Velodyne LiDAR and Mothers Against Drunk Driving Partner for Roadway Safety What if the designated driver of the future was a self-driving car? How can autonomous vehicle technology solve the drunk driving epidemic?

Velodyne LiDAR joined forces with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) to create an educational campaign to answer these questions and more. The goal of the partnership is to educate the public about the benefits of fully autonomous vehicle technology, particularly in preventing impaired driving. Ninety-four percent of collisions are caused by human error, and MADD recognizes Velodyne’s LiDAR technology as a solution to this global crisis.

On September 30th, 2018, Velodyne LiDAR and MADD launched a website, www.velodynelidar.com/madd-partnership.html, to achieve their goal of educating the public about the benefits of fully autonomous technology. The site

explains the basics of autonomous driving in easy-to-understand language for all audiences, including videos, blogs and an animation: Jane, A Velodyne Story. The animation depicts a nearfuture reality in which self-driving cars could make the difference between an ideal evening and catastrophe. In the story, Jane celebrates her 21st birthday by attending a concert with friends – only to fall asleep behind the wheel.

Thankfully, LiDAR technology isn’t reliant on Jane to navigate safely, ensuring her safe return home to her parents.

A drunk driving fatality every 49 minutes isn’t acceptable. Velodyne LiDAR and MADD have a shared mission to end these unnecessary tragedies. Both organizations are committed to bringing awareness about the potential of fully autonomous vehicles as the answer to reducing, preventing and – someday –

Foresight Vision System Installed in Leading Automotive OEM’s Vehicle Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd., an innovator in automotive vision systems, announced that it has successfully delivered and installed its first QuadSight™ prototype system for evaluation by a leading European manufacturer of commercial vehicles.

One of the challenges from a materials perspective when considering the property of color is to create parts that are “of true color,” consistently. Trinseo offers a solution to customers with its acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) – its MAGNUM™ ABS Resins – which are produced using the company’s proprietary mass polymerization technology.

This method of production results in exceptional whiteness in the base material, which is ideal for achieving colors that are as vivid or as light as they are meant to be. Whether pure ABS is used or if it’s blended with polycarbonate (PC) for additional performance properties, the Trinseo material provides a distinct advantage.

Trinseo has worked with customers in all areas of consumer technologies.

The company has focused in areas rangeliminating human error on the roadway.

“The promise of safe, self-driving cars is very exciting, particularly for those of us who have seen the devastation that impaired driving and human error can bring,” said MADD National President Colleen Sheehey-Church. Church’s 18year-old son, Dustin, was killed in a car driven by a drunk and drugged driver.

“MADD will continue to strongly support the safe development of this technology and will work with partners like Velodyne LiDAR to educate and build public acceptance of AV technology.”

“MADD is highly respected in the country and in the world for the work that they do,” Velodyne President Marta Hall said. “The organization wants to save lives on the roadways. We share the same goal, which is better safety.

Osram Increases Safety, Enables Customizable Interiors in Rinspeed microSNAP Vehicle Osram, a global high-tech lighting company, announced it is the exclusive lighting partner for Rinspeed’s latest concept vehicle, microSNAP. The vehicle features a variety of Osram components for lighting and sensing applications, such as biometric identification, ambient lighting, smart headlights and more. These technologies are lighting the way to an automotive future that is more urban, efficient and dynamic. For the third year, the global leader in automotive lighting has supported the Rinspeed concept vehicle, which shows how advanced sensing technologies and innovative illumination will transform the way the world moves.

Similar to Rinspeed’s previous Snap vehicle, the microSNAP has a chassis, known as a “skateboard” containing the drivetrain and most of the IT, which connects to various body types or “pods.” The microSNAP design is considerably more compact, making it an exceptionally versatile tool for last-mile transportation or express delivery of goods. As autonomous driving and urbanization proliferates, having smaller, more flexible vehicles will be critical in reducing congestion in cities and optimizing vehicle efficiencies.

While versatility and efficiency are important pieces of the future mobility

puzzle, safety still will be paramount.

That is why Osram delivered both visible lighting and infrared components to microSNAP’s interior and exterior – giving the vehicle unique abilities to monitor its internal and external environment.

Outside the vehicle, microSNAP uses Osram’s Eviyos, the world’s first hybrid LED for smart headlights. Eviyos contains individually controlled pixels that automatically turn on and off, allowing more of the road to be illuminated without blinding oncoming drivers.

Beyond headlights, Eviyos projects images and messages on the road to alert passengers and pedestrians, ultimately improving safety and enhancing the riding experience.

Self-driving vehicles will lead to new safety concerns outside of vehicles. As a provider of high-power infrared pulse lasers in LiDAR systems, Osram is committed to making autonomous driving as safe as possible for everyone. With driverless cars, understanding the movement and intent of both pedestrians and vehicles is crucial in urban environments. The front and rear of the vehicle is made safer through a dynamic brake indicator that communicates with those outside the vehicle. LEDs located on the pillars of

Consumer Electronics Daily News with Adaptive WiFi™ delivered through Plume’s cognitive service curation platform, allows true interoperability between IoT devices to ensure motion is monitored and interpreted effectively, enabling customers to not only protect their homes and businesses, but also keep their privacy intact.”

“Visible and infrared lighting create numerous safety opportunities that are integral for autonomous vehicles as they become a reality. We’re excited to showcase those possibilities with Rinspeed on its microSNAP vehicle,” said Wolfgang Lex, Vice President and General Manager of Automotive at Osram Opto Semiconductors. “From LiDAR sensing to adaptive headlights and information projection, LEDs carry the torch to a safer and more robust driving future.”

Inside microSNAP, Osram continues to increase safety with infrared components by applying them to the vehicle’s 3D facial recognition and iris scanning systems. Not only do these technologies increase security by ensuring only approved individuals occupy the vehicle, such as for autonomous ridesharing, they also allow the vehicle to adapt to an individual’s desired settings. Once an individual is recognized through biometric identification, everything from personalized lighting options to preferred temperature can be adjusted to meet a passenger’s previously set needs. These same components also empower gesture recognition used to move and enlarge content from a center console screen to the windshield.

Further assistance for ridesharing includes passenger monitoring, which

Manufacturers Rush to Create the Smarter Kitchen

By Lorrie Baumann

Manufacturers are eager to put their smart home devices in home kitchens, and consumers who are eager for help with their cooking are embracing some of the new technology, according to Digital Lifestyle Expert Carley Knobloch, who made her case in the Innovation Theater during the International Home + Housewares Show. “It's reached a point at which there's a lot of interest from manufacturers. Brands and big companies are vying for countertop space and control – which brand is going to be the remote control for the kitchen,” she said.

The airwaves are crowded with commercials advertising new smart home devices ranging from smart speakers to home security technology and thermostats that save energy, but the devices have been slow to penetrate home kitchens. Manufacturers, though, have woken up to the possibilities of inserting their technology into the operational center of the home. “It's not just a place where the family congregates, it's also the place where generations interact and memories are formed,” Knobloch said.

“The kitchen is also a hub to a lot of struggles exacerbated by our lack of time to feed ourselves.”

Consumers are most excited about technology that either makes them bet-

ter cooks or that will take over the cooking for them to produce restaurant-quality results without requiring culinary training for the home cook, according to Knobloch. “A lot of companies have chefs working side by side with engineers to design these products,” she said. “Ovens and induction burners are being engineered to recognize the food and then cook it to the user's preferences.” One example of this is Miele's Dialog oven, which exists now in concept form. It won't be appearing in home kitchens any time soon, according to Knobloch, but the oven uses electromagnetic waves, similar to what a microwave oven uses, paired with sensors that monitor how the food is cooking and shift the wave frequencies to adjust as the cooking progresses. Miele says that the Dialog oven cooks foods uniformly rather than from the outside in, so that meats end up moist and uniformly cooked and breads have enhanced texture. The oven even lets the cook control browning and crust development of breads. “The result is that you have restaurant-quality food without having to do anything but press a button or two,” Knobloch said.

The Joule sous vide tool from ChefSteps is another example of a smart device that will allow the home cook to achieve better quality. The tool circulates the water in the water bath to gently bring

LoveHandle Wins Phone Grip Challenge We’ve all seen the huge variety of smartphone grips, knobs and rings parading on the backs of smartphones and cases these days, but which one is the best all-around consumer choice?

A recent survey asked users to try each one and rank their favorite based on overall functionality. Here are the results: 1. LoveHandle – The clear winner for function and comfort, LoveHandle passed the pocket-friendly test as the lowest-profile grip in the group. The thin profile also allowed it to operate with

wireless charging, unlike some of its thicker and all metal competition.

Reviewers liked its use of a softer elastic grip surface instead of hard plastic or metal, but promptly commented on how comfortable it is to securely hold the phone with just a fingertip.

2. Metal Rings – Coming in second place in the survey were the variety of swiveling metal rings that boast grip and stand functionality. While these rigid versions did offer a reliable grip when worn as a ring on the user’s finger, they did not score well in the comfort category. Some

Mitsubishi Electric Introduces Robust Driver Monitoring System Mitsubishi Electric, a leading manufacturer of in-vehicle entertainment, navigation systems and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) technologies, announced that it has developed the first in-vehicle monitoring system with a single wide-angle camera to detect both the driver and front passenger simultaneously.

Conventional in-vehicle monitoring systems generally use a single camera to analyze the driver’s face for drowsiness or distraction. More recent imaging systems monitor the driver as well as the front passenger, but require several cameras. Mitsubishi Electric has refined this concept by developing a technology that

uses just one wide-angle camera to identify both the face and hand gestures of driver and front passenger. This allows OEMs to offer a range of safety and personalization features at a lower cost.

“Monitoring both front-seat occupants not only lets us check driver-centric safety behavior, but also allows us to support additional gesture inputs for in-cab systems such as climate control or audio,” says Mark Vogel, Senior Product Development Manager at Mitsubishi Electric Automotive America. “Providing a mix of safety and convenience features within the same monitoring system is critical as the line between those disciplines continue to blur.”

Consumer Electronics Daily News the food up to temperature and hold it there. It pairs with an app that allows the home cook to select a degree of doneness and then press go to control the device.

The device even features voice control.

Voice assistants have the ability to really help in the kitchen because the home cook often has his hands full there.

They can add things to a grocery list or set a timer or pull up a recipe. Yes, Chef! is a voice-controlled app that will walk the cook through a recipe using voice in a conversational way. Now available only for iOS devices, the app currently offers more than 350,000 recipes, and Knobloch predicts that it will be acquired in the near future by a powerhouse like Amazon or Google, since their virtual assistants don't yet have that skill level.

While the Joule and Dialog products are designed to make cooking easier, manufacturers are also developing products that solve the problem of kitchen inventory, even decreasing food waste by helping home cooks figure out what they can cook for dinner from the ingredients they have on hand before it goes bad.

“This could be for the kitchen what the Nest thermostat was for the rest of the home,” Knobloch said. “It takes a process that's rather opaque and makes it transparent so that people can use it.”

Yummly unveiled an app this year at CES that will enable users to scan the food in their refrigerators and recommend recipes based on the food that's available.

It can even take into account the user's preferences and dietary needs. Paired with a Whirlpool range, it'll even be able to control the oven. Whirlpool expects to

release the free app this year.

Pantry Chic manages inventory by dispensing foods by weight and keeping track of what's left in the bin. “You can see how the cycle will complete itself when a device like this will say, 'Do you want me to order another bag of flour for you because you're running low?'”

Knobloch said.

These inventory control devices will give both consumers — and the device's manufacturers — a real handle on what's in their house and how to use it. “It isn't just a benevolent act — they want to be the ones replenishing these goods as they're needed,” Knobloch said.

“Whoever owns the screen in your kitchen or the appliances listening for commands are going to be the witnesses to your food needs and the likeliest to fulfill the orders. Consumers are typically showing that they're relatively comfortable exchanging privacy for this kind of convenience, but manufacturers will need to make sure that they're having a continuing conversation with consumers about trust and making sure that they're taking seriously their responsibility for their customers' privacy.”

“They're going to figure out how to monetize that one way or another. As long as they're providing value, consumers are continuing to buy in,” she added. “Who's properly pondering the concerns of the consumer is going to decide who's going to succeed ...

Ultimately, computers don't cook; people cook. Even if the computer is doing a lot of the work, it's the person who's having the experience of the food.”

reviewers commented that the ring was somewhat uncomfortable and was not really a one-size-fits-all product.

3. Expanding Circles – These round expandable knobs are a current pop culture fad among young teens and middle-school lunchrooms. However, reviewers said they lack the basic utility of offering a reliable and comfortable grip for the phone. Large and bulky, many survey respondents complained that the knob would get hung on their pocket or purse when putting their phone away. On the comfort rankings, the popping circles scored low as well due to the way it is held precariously between your fingers and constantly

requires an active grip to prevent phone drops. Young reviewers still gave high marks for the addictive fidget-like qualities of popping and collapsing these expanding grips just for fun, though.

It doesn’t seem like the smartphone is going anywhere in the near future, so all of these grip accessories will have a piece of a growing market. However, its quite likely that fads will give way to function as mature consumers have the opportunity to try each of the current available solutions and decide which one works best for their needs.

With features in development to monitor upper body position and detect slumping or collapsing, this technology may soon be able to identify medical emergencies, such as a heart attack or stroke. In such circumstances, the vehicle could take immediate action by dialing emergency services or even rerouting to a nearby hospital. Active safety monitoring systems like this will become especially important as we evolve toward the selfdriving car.

On the hearing side, repeated use for extended periods at high volume – the usage habit of many who have been polled – can result in noiseinduced hearing loss, an irreversible condition. Otherwise, as I have noted, there is also newer worry that popular technology overuse is supplanting behaviors central to

building speech and language skills.

Sharing the concern are agencies like the National Institutes of Health and the World Health Organization (WHO).

WHO’s Make Listening Safe global campaign, for which ASHA serves in an advisory role, aims to reduce the incidence of noise induced hearing loss, in part by curbing popular technology overuse.

Also, for years ASHA took its messaging into elementary and middle schools nationwide. Uniformly, educators expressed strong concern about student usage and the need for initiatives like ours. ASHA has also worked with prominent groups such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and Read Aloud 15 Minutes to publicize the critical importance of daily verbal interactions with parents and loved ones in an era when many toddlers use (and have their own) tablets. And our results from surveying 200 CES 2018 attendees revealed strong interest in restricting children’s access to the popular technol-

Pollution Control furnaces are pollution-free!

Pollution Control Pyrolysis Cleaning

Furnaces’ (burn-off ovens) labor-saving controls are fully automatic and self adjusting. Their patented Controlled Pyrolysis process safely removes paints, epoxies, powder coatings and other organic materials from a wide range of metal parts, including automotive and marine engine blocks, fractional horse power stators, power station transformers, paint hooks and hangers, car skids and grates, water pumps, breaker plates, extruder screws and much more.

How does it work? Resulting smoke and gases driven off in the heating chamber are processed through a powerful afterburner eliminating all hydrocarbon emissions before exhausting into the

tive way to develop healthy communication skills. Against that backdrop, ASHA launched its Healthy Communication and Popular Technology Initiative, (www.communicationandtech.org), a public education campaign that promotes usage habits for popular technology that protect hearing and speech health.

CEDN: What is the concern?

No more toxic solvents, acids and other dangerous materials.

Although our first ovens were used by electric motor rebuilders, we quickly adapted and developed ovens for use by other industries, including automotive engine and parts rebuilders, paint and powder coaters, oil and gas producers, and plastics, fiber and chemical manufacturers. Not only did our ovens solve safety and environmental issues, they helped companies dramatically increase production capacity, efficiency and profits.

CEDN: Why should CES attendees stop by the ASHA booth?

JC: No doubt there is overlap between the public we have polled over the years and the customers or potential customers of companies here at CES. The polling shows many parents struggle managing their children’s popular technology use.

ASHA offers informed, practical, easyto-implement guidance that can help with that management as it promotes health and safety. We invite attendees to learn more at ASHA’s booth.

meaningful work we’ve done for the last 14 years, and we’d like to share some of the reasons you should give to Cell Phones For Soldiers to help us continue our mission.

We recognize the challenges our veterans face.

The transition to civilian life can be mentally, physically and emotionally stressful, and veterans are unemployed at a higher rate than non-veterans. Sometimes that means they can’t meet financial obligations – utility bills, rent, communication costs – and need a little boost. Our Helping Heroes Home program has provided one-time grants to more than 3,000 veterans. We believe that our veterans are Ericsson (Cont’d. from p. 1)

affordability are key factors.

Jeff Brown, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for SecuGen, stated, “The U10-SF optical fingerprint sensor module is the culmination of a multi-year development process. One strand of that process was to reduce the size of the sensor to our smallest ever. The second strand of the process was to merge a Single Board Computer with the fingerprint sensor module and embed an open Linux development environment, making this product unique in the industry.

Combining all of this with its low price Alpha Guardian (Cont’d. from p. 4)

We help our troops stay connected with their loved ones.

Though international calling is less of a hassle than it was when we first started, many deployed troops find that having a personal phone is impossible during a tour, either because of cost or security reasons. Our Minutes That Matter program has given more than 350 million minutes (and counting!) on calling cards to deployed men and women so they can call home. Maintaining connections with home during a deployment is critical to morale and to reassuring families at home.

es and other digital services are all conducted on a screen, hardly touching the physical world. This is changing, as IoT establishes more embedded connectivity – a real merger of digital with physical.

Today’s physical products are often software-driven and defined, because software brings the competitive advantage, so there are opportunities to add more functionality over time and charge accordingly. Connected sensors, for example, can be placed in factory equipment to feed information into a cloudbased “digital twin” – a digital model of the physical environment or equipment – which can be used to optimize manufacture, including enterprise machine to machine technology, networking products and solutions, technology support and maintenance, fix based network systems, antennas, routers, CPE equipment; ODM – multi-vendor customer services, technology consulting, outsourcing, support services, applications and business process development and design services; Industrial Applications – software products and hardware solutions, including application testing and delivery software, lean data analytics,

Soldiers received our R2 certification which allows us to receive, sort, test, data erase and responsibly downstream donated devices. Cell Phones for Soldiers both repurposes used devices and gives them to veterans in need and recycles them for their valuable parts that can be sold and reused. This serves a number of environmentally friendly purposes: it keeps electronic waste from landfills, where harmful materials can cause damage to human health and fragile ecosystems; recycling plastic helps us do our part to keep non-biodegradable material out of our oceans; and recycling the rare earth metals used in electronic devices reduces the need for mining.

To date, we have recycled more than 15 million mobile devices!

It’s easy to give.

You can contribute to Cell Phones For Soldiers by donating money directly and securely through our website, or by sending us your old cell phones and mobile devices. You can either print off a shipping label and send in your recycled items or find one of our more than 4,000 drop-off sites by doing a location search.

huge variety of apps available. We need the same scale in IoT. Privacy and security are also big issues that need to be addressed. Extra value is created when organizations are able to share and combine the data with that of their partners, customers and other stakeholders, to enable innovation. So, we must determine what kind of data we’re all able to share, all balanced with data confidentiality, privacy and security.

CEDN: What challenges still remain to enable massively connected physical products?

JT: It’s still early days for IoT, and the industry is fragmented with many types of chipsets, without any default operating system for connected devices. Compare this fragmentation to your smartphone, which is much more standardized and has led to massive scale, lower costs and a
