Digitization and Automation- ‘Making Business Simple’

Lakshmi Rajan — Thu, 05 Sep 2019 03:29:54 +0000

In 2015, the government of India launched the Digital India initiative with a vision of transforming India into a digitally empowered society. With this, the aim was to empower every citizen and enable businesses to transact easily and efficiently in today’s digital-driven economic landscape. Corporate India was quick to respond to the call of digitization by adopting various digital transformation initiatives to streamline the business processes. Today, organizations have witnessed efficiency and increased productivity with the automation of time-consuming manual processes. Though, organizations have traveled the road of digitization and automated business processes that previously were manual, they still push the paper document around in an obsolete and inefficient manner. Paper documents not only are difficult to store and carry the risk of perishability but are also time-consuming when handled for data stored in them. With huge amount of data being handled in the form of paper documents, it has become imperative for organizations to improve and optimize their document handling processes through automation.

Business Can Be Simple

Canon, a global brand, which has been ranked as the leading brand for copiers in Asia for 2018 as well as has No 1 Market Share in India for H1 2019 as per IDC data, follows the motto of ‘Business can be simple’.

Asus Zephyrus M GU502 First Impression – Charmer for Work and Play

Lakshmi Rajan — Wed, 03 Jul 2019 18:18:01 +0000

Asus has a solid reputation for gaming laptops in their ROG lineup. Within the Republic of Gamers series, there are many sub-series including the Strix and Zephyrus. Between them, the Zephyrus offers slim yet powerful gaming laptops. They are designed for people who want a powerful work and play laptop on the go and yet have a relatively less weight and dimensions. The Taiwanese company has refreshed the ROG Zephyrus gaming laptops with new machines featuring 9-th Gen Intel CPUs, Turing-based Nvidia Graphics, RTX 20 series GPU, Pantone validated display. What I have today is the Zephyrus M GU502, which offers a potent mix of power and practicality for folks like me who want a work machine that seriously plays well, after all, who doesn’t want to fire the gaming adrenalin after a good day’s work.

Box contents:

Out of the box you get the,

GU502
Power adapter
Cable
Few documents

Zephyrus range gets a good treatment in terms of build quality and the GU502 follows the tradition. It’s encased in a metal chassis with a combination of magnesium, aluminium and plastic materials giving it a compact and lighter profile. It weighs 1.9Kg, measures 18.9mm in thickness and the moment I took it out of the box and unwrapped the plastic sheet, the build quality was reassuring. The finish is one of the better you can find in the market. The top lid gets the typical Asus matte brushed finish with their backlit ROG Logo glowing red when the machine is on. The design language, in general, is in sync with the Zephyrus lineup. An interesting addition to the GU502 is type C 3.1 Gen 2 with display port and PD charging support. Yes, the laptop can be powered by a power bank. It has an input rating of 20V/3A and 9V/2A output. Apart from this, there are in total 3 USB ports (two on the right and one at the left), one HDMI port and an RJ45 ethernet port. A Kingston lock, 2 audio jack one for headphone and another for mic completes the bells and whistles. There’s still no card-reader and no Thunderbolt 3. The power plus is placed in the middle of the left side, which I find a bit awkward. The Zephyrus M GU502 is well-spaced and promises a good experience, let me admit it’s early days for me and will talk about that more on the full review. It has a dedicated multimedia keys and an extra row of function keys at the right. The keys gets RGB illumination with Aura sync. Asus’s packs an Armoury Crate app for full control over the machine, you can do a lot there including creating different profiles. There is a fairly large trackpad but there is no fingerprint sensor for login. More on that in full review. The GU502 has a 15.6-inch Full HD (1920×1080) IPS-level panel. The display offers 144Hz refresh rate with 3ms response time and the colours are Pantone validated. So apart from gaming, if you are a content creator, the display would be apt for photo editing or video editing offering good colour accuracy. The bezels are relatively narrow for a gaming machine. Talking about the specifications, the machine is powered by 9th gen Intel Core i7-9750H with Intel HM370 chipset. The graphics are handled by NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti with 6GB GDDR6 VRAM Optimus. You stash up memory up to 32GB with 16GB onboard. It comes with NVMe PCIE 3.0 512GB SSD storage. There is a quite a fat 230W brick included for charging the traditional way. The built-in battery is rated 76Wh lithium-ion polymer battery. Look forward to the review very shortly. ]]>

The new chip is the successor to the Kirin 970 which is under the hood of all the Huawei / Honor flagship products currently selling in the market. The new chipset also boasts of being the world’s fist 7nm processor and comes with dual NPU. Here is everything you need to know about the Kirin 980 chipset and what new performance, power and AI capabilities it brings across the table.

Huawei Kirin 980 chip: The new Architecture stack

The new Kirin 980 also is the first chipset to embed ARM’s new Cortex-A76 cores. The new core architecture is built on ARM’s DynamiQ technology and is reported to be 75 per cent more powerful and 58 per cent more efficient compared to its predecessor. The Kirin 980 follows an eight-core architecture with a two Cortex-A76 2.6GHz “higher-performance cores” for heavy demanding tasks and two Cortex-A76 1.92GHz “middle cores” for day-to-day tasks and four 1.8GHz Cortex-A55 “efficiency cores” for lighter ‘workload.’ Huawei talks about “Flex-scheduling” technology to allocate the “right cores to the right tasks.”

Huawei Kirin 980 chip: Power, Speed and Efficiency

The current chipsets like Huawei’s Kirin 970 or Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 845 are fabricated on 10nm architecture. The Kirin 980 is t he world’s first to be built on 7nm process manufactured by TSMC. What it means is the new process could pack in more transistors than the previous generation. Huawei claims that the Kirin 980 has 6.9 billion transistors in less than 1 square area centimetre which is an increase of 1.6 times compared to the 10nm manufacturing process used on Kirin 970. With more transistors at its disposal, the new chipset has more computation power and delivers better performance. Huawei states that the new 7nm fabrication will deliver a 20 per cent increase in SoC performance and power efficiency by 40 per cent. Huawei claims that the Kirin 980 will consume 33 per cent less power as compared to Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 845 SoC.

Lakshmi Rajan — Thu, 13 Sep 2018 17:06:22 +0000

Impact of hearing loss Hearing loss has multitude of impact both for the individual as well as society. On a personal level, hearing loss leads to:

Emotional instability
Staying reclusive and avoiding social gatherings
Loneliness
Risk to personal safety
Difficulty in learning new tasks / skills
Impact on job performance and earning potential

It is also estimated unaddressed hearing loss poses a high cost for the economy globally amounting to $750 billion.

Cochlear Implants

So it’s imperative that effective recourse is done to address the hearing loss. Cochlear founded in 1981 is the world’s largest manufacturer of hearing implants for hearing loss. Nucleus, developed by Dr. Graeme Clark in Melbourne during the 1970s is the crucial device that capture and process the sound in order to pass the cleanest signal to the implant. Few days back, I had an opportunity to interact with their team in India, who showcased the progress they have made in the implant research. From the first generation of their device to the latest Nucleus 7 which is the most sophisticated as well as offers host of convenient features. [caption id="attachment_14062" align="aligncenter" width="1080"] Cochlear Nucleus devices from the first generation (far left) to the Nucleus 7 (far right)[/caption] Nucleus 7 is also the world’s first made for iPhone cochlear implant processor. It also syncs with Android platform with the new app launched. The processor can sync with the Smartphone and the users will be able to stream sound directly from an compatible device to their sound processor. The Nucleus Smart App also gives the ability to the users to control and customize the hearing experience. For parents, it helps them to choose the right sound mode for their children with the implant for the idle hearing experience depending on where they are. The app also has a find my processor feature in case the device is misplaced or lost. It helps them to locate it. https://youtu.be/PZE4kG7rrT0

Key features of the Nucleus 7:

Change programs and activate wireless streaming.
Adjust the volume, treble/bass and sensitivity
Locate your lost Nucleus 7 Sound Processor
View processor status and battery level

I was also told that the new processors including the latest Nucleus 7 are backward compatible with the implants. I was surprised to know that the patients with implants 20 years back can use the latest processor including the Nucleus 7.

Sounds of Cricket

[caption id="attachment_14060" align="aligncenter" width="1042"] Bree Lee with Amishi Kunal . a young child who had Cochlear implant at early age[/caption] While there is vast advancement in the hearing loss treatment, what is more important is to make sure the awareness is spread to the patients, family, society and government to let them know hearing loss can be tackled and progressive steps are taken right from the screening of children during birth. Brett Lee, the Australian cricketer is the Cochlear’s global ambassador for hearing loss. He champions the “Sounds of Cricket” initiative to spread awareness about the significant functional, social, emotional and economic impact of hearing loss on individuals and their families.
