Plain Old XML (POX) refers to techniques where applications exchange raw XML documents using standard transfer protocols, such as HTTP, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and File Transfer Protocol (FTP), or using proprietary protocols (such as message-oriented middleware). “Raw” means that XML documents aren’t wrapped in any kind of messaging protocol or envelope, such as SOAP or AtomPub. Instead, POX relies on packaging capabilities of the transfer protocol and out-of-band agreements to supply infrastructure information and all metadata about payload formats and service interface descriptions. Those trade-offs aside, POX supports exceptional interoperability. It provides significantly less infrastructure functionality than other XML messaging systems, such as a message envelope, and, therefore, imposes additional burdens on applications to perform infrastructure functionality.
Industry:Technology
Short-range cellular base station typically providing 100-meter to 250-meter range, used to boost in-building cellular coverage or for high-traffic locations.
Industry:Technology
Pico projectors are very small projector modules that can be integrated into mobile devices, such as handsets or laptops, or used to create highly portable projector accessories for mobile workers. They can be implemented using several technologies, including liquid-crystal-on-silicon imaging chips with light-emitting diode or laser diode illumination, microelectromechanical systems digital light processing technology, or laser diffraction.
Industry:Technology
A legal entity representing joint contractual service arrangements between hospitals or integrated delivery systems and physicians.
Industry:Technology
A legal entity representing multiple physicians, practices and clinics that contracts with other entities to provide healthcare services.
Industry:Technology
Physical resource and infrastructure management tools are software products that monitor, model and help manage the physical dimensions of data center infrastructures, such as the IT hardware, cables, power distribution units, generators, and space. They are used to design new data centers, as well as optimize established data centers, for thermal, electrical and spatial characteristics. In addition, they are designed to be used in the day-to-day operations of data centers by providing change, configuration and asset management capabilities.
Industry:Technology
Photonic crystal displays are reflective displays made of photonic crystalline materials that can be constructed and designed to manipulate the propagation of light (photons).
Industry:Technology
A set of functions that assist a consumer in managing his or her health status or healthcare.
Industry:Technology
Synchronized phasor measurement units (PMUs, or synchrophasors) provide instantaneous representations of voltages and currents at key power grid locations, and help diagnose the grid’s actual risk status. Deployment of PMUs can help transmission operators with early detection of the frequency oscillations that foreshadow a potential blackout. Operators can improve transfer capacity, manage congestion and integrate renewables more effectively.
Industry:Technology
Phase modulation that uses discrete, present changes of phase.
