The prevalence of diabetes is growing rapidly, both in the developed and developing worlds. A 2017 CDC report found that 30.3 million Americans (9.4% of the total population) suffer from diabetes. Worldwide, the prevalence of diabetes in adults over the age of 18 has grown from 4.7% (108 million patients) in 1980 to 8.5% in 2014 (422 million patients). The total diabetic population is projected to grow to around 693 million by 2045.

Traditional ultrasound machines rely on vibrating crystals and other components to produce ultrasound images. These are generally large, stationary machines that cost anywhere from $15,000 to $100,000. But the startup’s device, called iQ, which resembles an electric razor that plugs into an iPhone lightning jack, essentially puts an entire ultrasound system on a chip, meaning it’s portable and sells for about $2,000.

The support on the Kong 3 is better than many Chinese phones, so it might be worth researching those used by your provider before making a purchase.

Since the 1950s, lasers have done a fine job scanning one-dimensional bar codes. But, that’s about all they can do. Bryan Sellars, national product manager of presence detection for SICK, says an accelerating migration toward image capture and vision-based bar code reading offers significantly greater functionality. Concurrently, greater adoption of two-dimensional (2D) bar codes, which can encode more information in a smaller printed area and do not require consistent orientation, is underway.

The new UPSNav navigation tool is part of that effort alongside the recent deployment of the first phase of UPS’s Network Planning Tools (NPT), which use advanced analytics to help the company direct package volume more efficiently across its network and to make the best use of capacity at sorting facilities.

Transportation and logistics powerhouse UPS Inc. has upgraded the navigation tool used in the handheld devices its drivers carry, and says the software could boost package delivery service levels while reducing miles driven, fuel consumed, and carbon emitted.
