Three Major Benefits of Integrating AI and Blockchain |  https://www.apacciooutlook.com/news/three-major-benefits-of-integrating-ai-and-blockchain-nwid-5634.html

SASE stands for a secure access service edge, and it is the next big thing in the enterprise networking industry. The technology category meets the WAN edge and network security into a cloud-based, as-a-service delivery form. As per Gartner, the union is steered by customer demands for scalability, flexibility, simplicity, low latency, and persistent security. Read More

Four Industries That Blockchain Will Revolutionize

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were dependent on larger enterprises as credit cycles were not under their control. Payments used to get a delay, and the credit terms as stated in the contracts were also not honored by few parties. Here blockchain can resolve this issue as the smart agreements is based on consensus among parties.

The industries that can be benefitted from this technology are mentioned below: https://goo.gl/jtGLEa

Small Businesses Help Us Explore Space!

Earlier this month, Congress introduced a resolution officially recognizing Nov. 24, 2018 as Small Business Saturday “to increase awareness of the value of locally owned small businesses and the impact of locally owned small businesses on the economy of the United States.”

This annual American Express campaign began on the Saturday after Thanksgiving in 2010 to support “local places that make our communities strong.”

For 60 years, we have supported and partnered with small businesses across the country to pioneer the future of space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research.

Our Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program funds the research, development and demonstration of innovative technologies that help address space exploration challenges and have significant potential for commercialization. In 2018, our program awarded 555 contracts to small businesses for a total of $180.1 million.

NASA works with small business Nanocomp Technologies Inc. of Merrimack, New Hampshire, to advance manufacturing of carbon nanotube composite materials.

Our investments in small businesses help equip future missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond by advancing our science and technology capabilities. They also benefit the U.S. economy. The SBIR/STTR program’s 2017 Economic Impact Report indicated a $2.74 return for every dollar spent on awards—money well spent!

Small businesses also contribute to scientific advances for the International Space Station as well as here on Earth. Pancopia, Inc. in Hampton, Virginia, developed an innovative, high-performance water recycling system to remove high levels of organic carbon and nitrogen in wastewater. Recycling water in space saves money on resupply and enables more Earth-independence and self-reliance. With the help of an SBIR award, Pancopia is also working on a similar system for public wastewater that has the potential to cut treatment expenses to less than half the current costs.

When NASA went to the private sector to develop deformable mirror technology—a key component of starlight-blocking instruments—a small business in Berkeley, California, applied for research and development funding through SBIR to design extra-precision, segmented mirrors. This innovative approach for a small deformable mirror made up of many tiny hexagonal segments enables advanced control when paired with other optics.

Data collected by a telescope using the Iris AO deformable mirror can be used to determine if the target investigated in space is an exoplanet based on its orbit, and if the exoplanet has atmosphere using color spectrum imaging analysis. The Iris AO technology is currently being refined and prepared for inclusion in a future exoplanet mission.

Does your small business have a big idea? Your next opportunity to join our SBIR/STTR program starts on Jan. 7, 2019, when our next solicitation opens. We’ll be seeking new innovative ideas from small businesses and research institutions for research, development and demonstration of innovative technologies. Go to https://www.nasa.sbir.gov/ to learn more.

Top Education Technology Companies

In an event at the Brookings Institution on October 23rd, Richard Spencer, Navy Secretary, said that the service is struggling to beat back threats to cybersecurity and the supply chain. He remarked that “We are woefully behind”. He added that the service is planning to improve facing cyber threats. The newly established positions of special assistant/chief information officer filled by Aaron Weis prove this. 

This job includes four directorates who are aimed at modernizing the service for a digital age and protecting the Navy by keeping it strictly against cyber threats. It is not the same as once it was years ago as the thinking and level of engagement on cyber have evolved in the last year.

Smart Shopping Experiences with AR and VR

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) have been lately deployed both in physical and online retail marketing to offer an excellent digital shopping experience. 

However, with AR and VR still in the advent stage, its practical applications in the retail sector are still fragmented, allowing research analysts to capture attributes in the interdisciplinary origins.

The theoretical framework of online marketing comprises of three main areas: https://goo.gl/nZGrXs

A 64-year-old man in Canada who was left disfigured after a hunting accident has become the OLDEST person in the World to receive a FACE Transplant. Four months after the surgery, performed at Hospital Maisonneuve-Rosemont in Montreal, the man has regained the ability to breathe properly and has begun to chew, smell, and speak with his new face.
