How wearables are being used to keep workplaces open
It’s fair to say the wearable market is enjoying a boom right now. According to Gartner, the wearables market saw global sales of $68.9bn in 2020, up nearly 50% in one year. Sales look set to continue growing in 2021 with an estimated turnover of $81.5bn, as wearables play an increasingly integral role in keeping us working during the COVID-19 pandemic. Leo Scott Smith, Founder and CEO of Tended explains.
Alphabet again exits drones: others again jump in
In 2017, after four years of setbacks and crashes, Alphabet shut its project flying solar-powered fixed-wing drones in the upper atmosphere to beam the internet to those cut-off. Facebook then exited its similar project, but the Chinese aerospace industry, Airbus, Boeing, and NASA are progressing them very well.
Easy interior separation for E4Q energy chain reduces assembly time
For safe cable guidance in unsupported and long travels, igus has developed the E4Q energy chain. The bionically inspired design saves weight, while crossbars with locking tabs reduces the assembly time of the e-chain by 40%. To facilitate assembly further, igus has launched a new interior separation system for the E4Q. Universal separators are placed on the chain crossbars, shelves can be inserted from the left or right, along either the inner o...
