We live in a world that's awash in information. Way back in 2011, an IBM study estimated that nearly 3 quintillion-that's a 3 with 18 zeros after it-bytes of data were being generated every single day. We're well past that mark now, given the doubling in the number of Internet users since 2011, the powerful rise of social media and machine learning, and the explosive growth in mobile computing, st...Show More
All three present technologies for storing single copies of digital data (magnetic, optical, and solid state) are characterized by relatively short lifetimes, ranging from 5 to 30 years. There presently exists no inexpensive way to preserve one's digital data for posterity. This paper describes a research effort which is targeting 1,000 years (a millennium) for a new type of recordable optical sto...Show More
An effort has recently concluded for developing recommended information technology (IT) curricula and accreditation standards. This paper addresses what industry can expect from graduates of programs utilizing these guidelines. It addresses the knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as the philosophy, of graduates of IT bachelor degree programs. It also provides industry with methods by which th...Show More
The majority of weight in a motor is concentrated in two major areas: the magnetic core and the copper windings. All of the other components of the motor can and have been made of plastics (e.g. bearings, armature, and housing). Previously, due to the electrical and magnetic properties required for the windings and the magnetic core, these were constrained to high density metals, mostly copper and...Show More
Plastics have been widely used for several decades, due to their many advantageous properties including moldability, ruggedness, and low cost. For applications in electricity and electronics, applications for plastics have always been as dielectrics, due to their inherent property as electrical insulators. The invention of conductive plastics has enabled the creation of many products that have pre...Show More
