Nanophotonics is born out of the combination of three major sciences: photonics, nanotechnology, and optoelectronics. While photonics and optoelectronics have revolutionized the electronics and semiconductors market, nanotechnology has the greatest potential for further improvement, and hence has emerged as the most sought-after technology by big companies and research laboratories. In spite of it being in the nascent stage, nanophotonics is expected to make it to the mainstream market owing to its higher power efficiency, thermal resistivity, and operational life.

The nanophotonic component market is growing at a robust rate for the last few years and is expected to maintain a very high CAGR for the next few years. The market is expected to reach US$3.6 billion in 2014 at a CAGR of 100.7% from 2009 to 2014 and a similar growth pattern can be expected for the nanophotonics devices market as well. This market is expected to grow from a current market size of US$1.8 billion to US$58 billion in 2014.

Though most of the nanophotonic products are still under research, the available products such as nanophotonic LEDs, nanophotonic PV cells, nanophotonic OLEDs have been very successful in the market. Nanophotonic LEDs has the largest market share of US$106 million in 2009. However, considering the pace of progress in various other segments like near-field-optics, optical amplifiers, optical switches and holographic memory, it can be safely ascertained that holographic memory and optical switches are expected to have the highest growth rate in the next five years. Nanophotonic LEDs will still continue to be largest segment albeit with a slow growth rate.

In the nanophotonic LED market, the high beam LED has the highest market share followed by UV LED. In the fastest growing market of optical amplifiers, it is the optical fiber amplifier that commands the highest CAGR in the period 2009 to 2014 followed by semiconductor amplifiers. HDSS is also expected to grow with a CAGR comparable to that of optical amplifiers. OLED is estimated to be the slowest growing market. Lowering production costs and improving operational efficiencies would ensure opening of new opportunities for the nanophotonics market.

The market is very concentrated with only the market leaders like Osram, IBM, Samsung SDI, JDSU, etc doing extensive research in nanophotonics but as most of the application areas are related to electronics, this market is expected to attract a large number of players that would in turn increase the degree of competition.

Growth of Nanophotonic Products from 2009 2014

The graph indicates the forecasted growth rate of nanophotonics products from the year 2009 to 2014. The optical amplifiers are expected to grow at the maximum growth rate followed by the HDSS devices. The growth in the nanophotonics market is primarily due to the increasing demand from the Asian countries.

The key players in the nanophotonics component market are working at developing new products by forging strategic alliances with renowned universities, research laboratories and nanomaterial companies. These developments are focused on improving the operational parameters for the nanophotonic devices and grab the early movers advantages in the market.

Our patent analysis indicates that the U.S. has filed the highest number of patent applications in nanophotonics since 2006 followed by Europe. In the products category, nanophotonic LED accounts for the highest number of patents followed by nanostructures while OLED accounts for the lowest number.

Technology always changes the way we work and the way our business works. It isn’t just about performing our business functions better either. It’s also about servicing the needs of our customers better. And it takes today’s retail technology advances to help achieve this because it didn’t exist cohesively before.

So, chances are, you need to change your current system.

In a recent retail chains study by Retail Technologies Inc., it was found that 52% of mid-sized retailers stated that one of their biggest challenges was keeping up with changing new technology; 46% of larger retailers also faced issues trying to keep up with technology changes.

Alicia Kreisberg, Chief Operating Officer and co-owner of One Step Data, states, “In the computer software and hardware industry, developments move at an exponential rate, with software/hardware life expectancies averaging only 2-4 years.”

The retail service and technology provider company’s primary objective, according to Kreisberg, is to ensure the success of their customers. “One of the things that will ensure you get the best results is staying current with the latest system advancements. You don’t want the very thing that is helping make your business more profitable to keep you from further expansion.”

Keeping up with changing retail technology is a costly investment, as retailers need to have current technology stay current. There is often lack of flexibility to implement new changes, and usually it is very time-intensive to integrate the new technology so everything works. And, need I mention the difficulties training employees on a new system?

These sound like daunting problems, but what many retailers haven’t realized yet is that it is costing them more money to keep their antiquated systems than it is to get a new system that is flexible enough to meet their needs and growth.

In the way that we try to optimize and streamline our company’s response to a situation at hand physically, we should focus on doing the same with the technology we choose. By automating retail processes, it streamlines retail operations and leads to:

* Smarter business decisions

* Better inventory control

* Minimize retail fraud

* Customer loyalty

* Increased profits

Now, these are not just nice things to have – they are vital to our growth potential.

This leads us back to the question at hand: Does your system grow as you grow?

If you know you need to change and are ready to take the leap, there’s something else you need to know: you probably need help.

Retailers can encounter many problems as they attempt to research or introduce new software technology if they attempt to do this on their own. Lack of awareness of the various retail software options is one of the larger barriers to changing to a new system.

All too often retail software’s apparent complexities lead retailers toward generic or “off the shelf” systems that won’t meet their needs. Even many accounting firms and software houses don’t have full knowledge of retailing, and therefore not qualified enough to recommend the right technology solution.

The safest way to go about finding the right solution for you is to contact the services of a specialized retail technology expert who will be able to help you identify, evaluate and implement a new technology suited to your business and business needs. A retail technology partner is a key business tool for retailers and shouldn’t be taken lightly in their usefulness.

1. The industry

The science jobs and pharmaceutical science jobs sector in the UK is in a strong position. Recent figures show that the biotechnology, healthcare and pharmaceutical industries alone generate more than 23 billion a year in revenue.

Anywhere that discovery is taking place, scientific equipment is needed – making science jobs in sales vital to the healthcare, and scientific industry as a whole.

Laboratory equipment – tools or devices used in clinical and research laboratories for either performing an experiment or accumulating data – has around a 7% share of the medical industry market.

According to a report released by Instrument Business Outlook (IBO) for 2006, the global market for analytical and life science instrumentation (along with related aftermarket and service revenues) was around $32.8 billion. For the year 2007, overall sales of laboratory analytical instruments achieved a growth rate of 8.2%.

2. What science jobs in sales are out there?

An arsenal of advanced lab equipment is used every day by hospitals, blood banks, private practitioners, university research, pharmaceutical R&D – even petrochemical and other industrial sectors. Science jobs in sales exist to meet this requirement, and provide the most up to date technological advancements.

Science jobs in sales span a huge variety of industry sectors – from academia to chemical and pharmaceutical science jobs; clinical, physical, analytical and scientific equipment, to electronics and diagnostics to name just a few.

There are also many different types of science jobs to consider; from field and regional sales to territory sales, product specialist, key account manager, business development and product sales.

Not all science jobs in sales are high-powered or technical. Everyday essentials from pipettes to balances, calibrators, testers, pumps, filters and chemicals all need to be sold too.

3. The current climate

Upgrading equipment is the lifeblood of science jobs in sales. Advances in technology are so rapid that a good scientific salesperson will be pitching new models to customers on a fairly regular basis.

Like most industries, the economic downturn has had some effect on science jobs in sales.
Private sector investments and public sector research funding is not as readily available, so customer needs have altered slightly as a result. Service and maintenance sales have risen, and new business has dipped, the same as many other sectors.

It’s also worth remembering that with smaller budgets to play with, the products should do a lot of the selling – anyone with a scientific or technology mindset will always see the benefits of newer, more cutting-edge equipment.

4. What do recruiters look for?

To keep up with research and development across all fields of science jobs in sales – from life, biotech, clinical, physical and analytical to computational or engineering – you’ll need a relevant degree.

Employers also look for hands-on science jobs in sales experience in a laboratory or research environment. A PhD is even better, if you can bring technical knowledge to a sales team. If you have a science degree or PhD, then with or without sales experience, you will likely be able to move into a specialist sales representative role or an application specialist role.

The key characteristics for any science jobs in sales include being sharp, quick-witted and tenacious. You’ll need to be able to build strong relationships with customers, have excellent product knowledge; and actively seek new business. Organisational, time and territory management skills are essential too.

With the changing fields of PV power generation, China has made great progress in research and development of BIPV system. In 2002, 10KW integrated grid system was built in Fengxian, Shanghai, which realized automation. In 2003, an ecological demonstration project was established in Shanghai and the 5KW integrated grid system combined well with construction with international top technologies.

Shanghai Solar Energy S&T Co., Ltd (SSEC) also established integrated demonstrative office building with six first-initiated technologies of directly combining solar electrical power generation and construction. Today, the total installed capacity can reach 40KW and energy self-supply can basically realized with integrating geothermal air condition technologies.

It is said in the 40th article of Energy Conservation Law of the People’s Republic of China which took effect on April 1st, 2008 that Chinese government encourages to adopt energy-saving materials and devices and to apply renewable energy resource system in the energy conservation reform of newly-built constructions and existing constructions. It is also stated in the 61st article that enterprises which use energy-saving technologies and products listed in the law can enjoy favorable policies, such as tax incentives.

Although a series of laws and standards have been launched, such as Renewable Energy Law, Civil Building Energy Saving and Energy-Saving Design Standard of Various Regions, high cost (cost of photoelectric curtain wall jumps to over 1,000 USD/m2 today) will be a big barrier for BIPV projects, apart from limited ideas and technologies. Neither enterprises themselves nor government can afford such a high cost in the long run. Therefore, BIPV captures considerably small market now in China and is mainly used in some demonstrative projects which enjoy government subsidies.

It is clearly regulated by Ministry of Construction of China that 50 percent of design standards should be applied in newly-built constructions. It is predicted that the area of energy-saving constructions will exceed 2.16 billion m2 from 2006 to 2010, with newly-built area of 1.6 billion m2 and rebuilt area of 560 million m2. At present, area of constructions in China reaches 40 billion m2, over 13 billion m2 of which are to be rebuilt. In order to fulfill this goal, enterprises must adopt such energy-saving technologies and devices as solar illumination, integrated system of solar energy and construction (solar tiles and glass curtain wall), etc. Thus the BIPV market will see a bright prospect in future.

To stay competitive, small businesses must make the most of current technology. But it’s expensive, time consuming, and inefficient to maintain a full-time IT department like larger companies. A true Professional Technology Services Provider offers on-demand talent, depth of experience, deep resources and huge economies of scale. Here are the top 10 benefits you’ll see.

Benefit #1: Stay Focused On Core Business Functions

People are happiest doing what they do best. And they get frustrated by tasks that distract them from it. Researching solutions, implementing new technology and fixing IT-related problems are extremely inefficient for non-IT professionals. Free up internal staff for revenue-generating functions and the business of business.

Benefit #2: Tap Economies Of Scale And Purchasing Power

Due to a single focus on IT, sechnology services providers achieve greater efficiencies and economies of scale. They consolidate purchasing power and have access to deep and broad knowledge bases. Using developed best practices, tasks are completed more efficiently than small businesses can do on their own. The means real cost savings– both in time and money.

Benefit #3: Reduce Cost and Control Operating Expenses

The business value of technology services providers results in very hard dollar savings. In almost all cases, small businesses will spend 25% to 50% less than the cost of even one mid-level IT professional. Then take recruiting, training, vacation, sick days, turnover and other management issues out of the equation to see even more savings. Costs are budgeted, predictable and controlled.

Benefit #4: Access Highly Specialized Talent

Small businesses cannot cost effectively achieve the scale and flexibility to properly support their technology environments. Even a very experienced and dedicated IT employee has limits to skills and avenues for help. Professional technology services providers offer access to teams of IT specialists that deliver the cross-sectional IT knowledge needed to provide both on-going and critical support for small business networks.

Benefit #5: Get Services On-Demand

Many small businesses face the challenges of growth and the burden of scaling back. Both cases present a genuine HR problem when relying on in-house IT resources. Small businesses need the agility of just-in-time resources for emergencies and the flexibility to adjust technology support levels. With a professional technology services provider, sudden changes won’t affect the livelihood or morale of employees.

Benefit #6: Help Employees Innovate and Stay Productive

Communication, collaboration, and knowledge sharing allows employees to innovate. These capabilities are delivered through a multitude of technologies including file servers, central databases, broadband connectivity, mobile platforms, email communications, and many others. However, true productivity and business benefit can only be realized when this complex technology is properly planned, implemented and maintained. The best practices and comprehensive experiences around planning, implementing and maintaining such systems allow technology services providers to successfully deliver these productivity improvements.

Benefit #7: Reduce Downtime

Even a few minutes of systems downtime carry enormous business costs. Maximizing uptime must be a high priority. Small businesses can longer afford issues with internet connectivity, email communications, corrupt data or systems failure-the cost of reacting to these events is just too high. Professional technology services providers offer planned, measured approaches to pro-active systems maintenance, security, backup and disaster recovery.

Benefit #8: Get A Technology Edge Over Competitors

Don’t just level the playing field: take advantage of new technologies for a competitive advantage. Technology services providers keep up with the latest solutions through ongoing training and real-world experience. They know how to implement the latest hardware, software, and network applications available. Just as important: they know which technologies are not worth the investment.

Benefit #9: Attract and Retain Employees

Employees want to work in an environment where their computers are up and running. Employees want to be competitive with their rivals and they want the technology tools that really help them deliver. Potential new talent will weigh your company’s technology prowess. Utilizing a professional technology services provider allows small businesses to meet these expectations and increases the ability to attract and retain employees.

Benefit #10: Access Otherwise Unavailable Vendor Support

Access to manufacturers is crucial in effectively supporting complex technology. When available, technology manufacturers traditionally provide basic or unreliable direct end-user support. With a well-established professional technology services provider, small businesses enjoy the benefits of priority access to Microsoft, Cisco and thousands of other technology vendors.

1. In vitro fertilization (IVF)

2. Artificial Insemination by the Husband (AIH)

3. Artificial Insemination by a Donor (AID)

4. Surrogate Motherhood

The Indian society is ill prepared either to accept these technologies, or even to evaluate their consequences on our social set up tomorrow, and because of that it is necessary for us to consider the issues immediately. Every medical practice available in the west filters through to the Indian society sooner or latter. Since most of the people never even get a chance to discuss such practices, they root themselves firmly in our soil, changing the whole pattern of our thinking, many times for the worse. Abortion-on-demand is one such example, which is considered by most of our people as a trivial practice. But most of the Indians (including Christians) are blissfully unaware of the not so trivial mental, spiritual, and sociological consequences of this practice.

Coming to our subject, In Vitro Fertilization is that practice by the help of which they give birth to babies which are erroneously labeled as Test Tube Babies. What they do is to fertilize a woman`s egg with her husband’s sperm in laboratory glassware. At a suitable stage this is implanted in the mother’s uterus. Although this artificial fertilization itself might not be unethical,the different practices associated with it can easily lead people into grossly unethical practices. For example, researchers in this field fertilize a lot of ova to study the effects. Sometimes these fertilized ova are kept frozen for long periods of time, for experimentation at a more convenient occasion. Once the experimentation is finished, these living entities (potential human beings) are destroyed.
Artificial insemination of a woman by her husband’s sperms (when his sperm count is low) is another practice which might be right in some situations, but again the practices surrounding it or prompted by it can go well into the realm of the unethical. For example, way has been opened up for Artificial Insemination of a woman by a donor other than her husband (this will be done in the case where the husband is not in a position of providing sperms for one reason or other). Then there is Surrogate Motherhood where a woman bears a child for a second woman for medical or even trivial reasons. The sperms come from the husband of that woman who is not able to or willing to go through the process of childbearing.

All these practices raise a number of unavoidable questions. A child is the result of a sexual union between a man and his woman, and thus a result of ultimate love. Is it proper and without consequences if we replace this act of love with mechanical activities which have no connection with a sexual union. Now even if we justify the fertilization of a woman’s egg with her own husband’s sperms on the basis that there is nothing basically unethical about it, can we justify other practices as equally right or acceptable ? What about a man’s sperm being used to fertilize the ovum of a woman who is not his wife in any way ? Or what about a man who donates his sperms to fertilize the ovum of a woman who is not his own wife ? Here pregnancy ceases to be the result of the natural and lawful union of a man with his own wife ! Whoever can justify such activities where procreation changes its divine role with assembly line production of a commodity which is greatly in demand ?

No one should be fooled into believing that such practices are emotionally neutral to anyone involved in this game. When a child is born out of questionable medical practices, the mother cannot feel the same natural love for the child who is not born as part of her. Nor can a father get the right kind of emotional or spiritual involvement with the child born of his wife but not fathered by him. The trauma through which the child will have to pass when it grows up is another story for which no solution can be offered.

The emotional abnormalities through which all the concerned parties have to pass is illustrated by the recent case of Baby M. William and Elizabeth Stern of U.S.A. were childless. Mary B. Whitehead, who already had two children was in need of some money. So she agreed to be artificially inseminated with Stern’s sperm, and be the surrogate mother of his child. The fees for all of this was to be $10,000 ! Once the baby was born, it was to be handed over to the Sterns who had paid for it.

However when the little girl known as Baby M was born, the arrangement fell apart. Whitehead refused to hand over the baby to the Sterns, saying that she had grown too much attached to the baby. She then fled with the baby and was in the hiding, but the Sterns traced her and took her to the court. After a bitter battle from both the sides, the court handed over the baby to the Sterns. However the case has not ended here because Whitehead has vowed to fight to the end to get the child back. In between her sobs she announced that this baby was her child, her flesh and blood, and that no judge was going to take away this child from her. It is not difficult to imagine the emotional trauma through which both the parties are passing and the way it will affect Baby M when it grows up into a teen-ager.

What will happen to the stability of the family unit if such practices become common ? By undercutting the spiritual and biological foundations of procreation, are they not going to weaken the already shaky family unit. It will not only weaken the parent-child bond, but will also lead to mistrust between the husband and wife. This will in turn complicate the matters to such an extant that these children will probably never grow into healthy and mature adults.

It will be premature to write off all types of artificial reproduction as unethical. It might be of some benefit when practiced strictly between a man and his wife. However, when these practices are extended to such limits that they threaten to destroy the spiritual and biological basis of family and procreation, there is cause for alarm. Once we allow such practices by overlooking the ethical and socio-spiritual dimensions of the problem, the door will be opened for total chaos. Christians must carefully consider the issues which have only been touched upon lightly in this articles, and Christian doctors must start a dialogue to decide what their position will be when technologies of this kind become available routinely in Indian hospitals and clinics.
