That's why I believe that deep inside Apple Park, there's an underlying belief that the Camera app should be as simple as possible - and that Apple should keep building hardware to make that happen. Apple is aiming for simplicity with its Camera app. IMAGINING THE PERFECT CAMERA APP This feature got me thinking about Apple's ultimate goals in designing the Camera app. [Extracted from the article]

BOTTOM LINE Most people wondering whether they should buy the iPhone 14 will be upgrading from a much older iPhone than the iPhone 13, but those same people would be wise to consider the iPhone 13 as an alternative since the iPhone 13 is still on sale. If the new camera features of the iPhone 14 are attractive to you, then you may want to consider spending a little more to get the iPhone 14 Pro, which brings a 48MP camera and a 3X telephoto lens along with all of the new iPhone 14 camera features. The Geekbench 4 battery tests indicated just under 9 hours for the iPhone 14, 9:44 for the iPhone 14 Pro, 8:11 for the iPhone 13, and 9:15 for the iPhone 13 Pro. [Extracted from the article]

The iPhone 14 Pro Max is the about same size as the 12 Pro Max, as well as the iPhone 13 Pro Max it replaces (fave.co/3xWPTlb). And the iPhone 14 Pro Max lasted 3 hours and 43 minutes longer than the iPhone 14 Pro - that's 30 percent more battery life from a battery that is 35 percent larger than the smaller iPhone 14 Pro. However, if battery life is your main reason for choosing a large iPhone, Apple does have another iPhone that has recently arrived - the iPhone 14 Plus, which according to Apple's estimates can beat the 14 Pro Max in terms of battery life. The yearly iPhone release, and indeed most smartphone releases, have gotten kind of boring: The latest model is a little faster, the camera's better, and maybe there's some stand-out gimmick that will feature in all the ads but won't really improve the way you use your phone.

Industrial image processing is increasingly conquering areas in industry, traffic and security technology, as well as medical technology. Despite a 7% decline in sales in 2023, the industry remains optimistic. Advances in artificial intelligence enable new application areas, such as automated error and anomaly detection, as well as predictive maintenance. Acceptance of AI is growing as it enables applications that are difficult or impossible to solve with conventional methods. Companies like PSI Technics and IDS have already gained extensive experience in industrial image processing and offer AI-capable cameras and systems. The semiconductor industry is another market where vision solutions are used to increase quality and productivity. [Extracted from the article]

The only real competition for Apple's most affordable iPad (which starts at $329) is the Kindle Fire models and some deeply disappointing Android tablets that have retail prices in the $150 range and are often used as free giveaways when you buy service subscriptions or other more expensive tech gear. When it comes to tablets, at least budget tablets, there's iPad and there's everything else. IT'S TIME FOR A FACELIFT Outside of a faster processor (which most won't notice), double the storage (which they will noticed), and a much better front camera (which is very nice), the 9th-generation iPad is about the same as the 8th-generation iPad - which was about the same as the 7th-generation iPad.

The article examines few approaches for diagnosis and treatment of Amblyopia, a condition of eye with decreased eyesight due to abnormal visual development. Topics discussed include limited effectiveness of traditional therapies for amblyopia; and use of advanced technology like the Blinq Pediatric Vision Scanner and Luminopia One, a new prescription digital therapy software.

The article deals with the effects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and 5G on automation. It emphasizes that 5G and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) enable virtual controls and could enable ubiquitous networking regardless of the transmission medium. The increasing use of AI requires a realignment of communication, with Single Pair Ethernet playing an important role. Development service providers play an important role in trending topics such as networking and AI, as companies often lack the corresponding expertise. The selection of suitable hardware and sensors is crucial for the reliability and functionality of machines and processes. Automation is characterized by increasingly complex systems, with AI also being used to optimize control tasks. The cross-manufacturer communication standard Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is discussed to provide data volumes from sensors to an AI algorithm. The transition to new virtual approaches in mechanical and plant engineering is a challenge, but also offers the opportunity to develop new business models. [Extracted from the article]

Today, practically everybody uses digital technology to make and store photographic images. Others are made indirectly by scanning existing photographs or transparencies that were made in the old-fashioned way, using film. One doesn't need to buy film or have it processed by a lab. The type of film selected by a photographer certainly affects the sharpness of a photograph, as does the physical size of the film. Almost any mention of slides will bring up one application where digital photography has been quite successful in superceding film, and that is when they are used with presentation software like Microsoft Corp.'s PowerPoint and Apple Corp.'s new Keynote.

The sensitivity of a high-resolution Raman imaging system is crucial to the quality of the acquired information. The spectral and spatial resolutions are among the primary factors that influence the obtainable results. The limits of resolution are defined theoretically by the laws of physics, but are experimentally determined by the instrument parameters. In this article, the theoretical background and the possibilities in practical applications are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
