Why your smartphone needs 5 cameras | Rugged Smart Phone

Moving on to the insides of the Ulefone Armor 6. The smartphone is powered by MediaTek’s Helio P60 SoC, a eight-core design with quad A73 and quad A53 Arm cores as well as Aem’s Mali-G72MP3 GPU. The SoC is paired with 6 GB of DRAM and 128 GB of NAND flash storage. Many recent ruggedized smartphones have been based on cheaper SoCs with low-power Cortex-A53 CPU cores, so the Armor 6 is notable for its performance potential. As it appears, Ulefone decided not to cut corners and used a relatively high-performance SoC with Cortex-A73 cores in order to ensure that owners of the handset can use all applications they need to with a comfortable level of performance.

It sports a 7-inch HD screen with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, along with rain and glove mode, and passive stylus support. Toughbook FZ-L1 is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm MSM8909 SoC, clocked at 1.1GHz, paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of onboard storage.

I dont agree with him, but lets not pretend like these are flagship specs. The pricing seems reasonable when you consider how rare such a device is. Market demand vs supply will drive the settling price point. I think they’re dipping their toes in at the right number to try and be profitable enough to grow from this product.

The Rugged Handheld Devices report provide information about the company profiles, description of the product, product specification, Rugged Handheld Devices sale, the price of the product. Additionally, it also gives information about the Rugged Handheld Devices production, cost, Rugged Handheld Devices market revenue, gross margin, capacity as well as import/export details, Rugged Handheld Devices industry supply and usage figures. Growth rate and Rugged Handheld Devices development processes of each category of product are also mentioned in the Rugged Handheld Devices report. The Rugged Handheld Devices market study gives a clear idea to the individuals regarding the major statistics on the status of Rugged Handheld Devices industry.

de Cosson opts for a handheld white structured light scanner for lower-resolution scans of objects that are larger than a cubic foot, yet smaller than unwieldy parts like a door panel. Like other structured light systems, the handheld device rapidly flashes a known pattern using white LEDs across the object’s surface; depth and surface information is calculated based on how the pattern deforms over the object’s surface and is stored as a point cloud. After post-processing, the model can be exported as an STL or another similar file type. The end result is a quick, relatively inexpensive scan. Garant has the Artec Eva, which features a scanning resolution up to 500 microns and a 3D point accuracy of 100 microns.

Our only reservation is that in this context it only offers 1080p video capture and not the 4K resolution that the sensor is capable of.

“With image-based scanning you know something went wrong, and you also know why,” he says. “You can look at an image and see the label wasn’t there, or folded back on itself, or that ink is low. You want to know that so you can quickly make the proper adjustments. As we continue down the path of Industry 4.0, I think we will see more desire to get that information.”

Is that a bad thing? We have plenty of commercial “cookie cutter” products out there. I like that we can make things now that NO ONE ELSE owns in the whole planet. I prefer custom stuff. I can always look at what someone else made, adapt it to my needs and make it my own.

Automation can also help manufacturers face an increasingly challenging staffing shortage. According to Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute, as many as 2.4 million manufacturing jobs may go unfilled through 2028, putting as much as $454 billion manufacturing GDP at risk. While manufacturers are addressing this shortage of skilled workers in a number of ways (including new training programs, knowledge management technology, etc.), many are embracing technology to automate more of the entry-level work or production-focused positions. According to Deloitte’s research, 26 percent of manufacturers are investing in productivity-enhancing technologies, and nearly 60 percent plan to rely on more automation over the next three years.

The left edge plays host to the SIM/microSD card slot and a programmable button that can be used to wake the phone or initiate the camera, among other things, with a single push.

As well as difficulties with hardware, creating the right software for Tricorders is likely a number of years away. Creating algorithms that can diagnose certain conditions from a tight set of physical biomarkers is one thing, but there’s an old adage in medicine that ‘if you listen hard enough, the patient will tell you the diagnosis’. To be a universal diagnostic device, Tricorders will not only have to interpret test results, they’ll also need software that knows the right questions to ask and unpick the answers they get back: a patient saying they have a tight chest pain and a sharp chest pain might sound similar, but could be the difference between a full blown heart attack or pericarditis — a painful, but relatively benign, infection of the heart’s covering.

Today’s productivity apps are ubiquitous in the office, but back in the 90s, you needed a PDA (personal digital assistant) for that stuff. Some darn fool thought the Game Boy was perfect for such a device.
