Metabolon’s mission is to provide researchers and health care providers unparalleled, actionable knowledge of the phenotype to prevent, diagnose and treat disease quickly and accurately.

Molecular phenotyping actively measures disease-related changes suggested by genomics, as opposed to merely measuring a genetic predisposition or assessing risk of disease.

ADESTO: CRITICAL REQUIREMENT FOR REALIZATION OF INTERNET OF THINGS

LOW POWER

“Ability To Use Energy Harvesting as Power Source: Light/Solar, Thermal, RF Scavenging, Vibration”

Sources:

“Low Power is the number 1 priority for IoT and battery-operated mobile devices”

“…cost of installing new wiring to power these devices is prohibitive…”

“…best-in-class low-power non-volatile memory/flash memory technologies…”

“…for a simple system with a small ARM M0 core, the flash memory could conceivably consume 70% of the power…”

“…Power efficiency is critical since these devices are often not connected to power and have to operate using energy harvesting sources or a single battery for several years without maintenance or battery replacement…”

“We measure the chance of success based on being light weight (in terms of code footprint), low power consumption, open and suitable to a multi-platform environment.”

Semiconductor Revenue Content of IoT Gartner forecasts almost 30 percent growth [CAGR] through 2020 for IoT semiconductor revenue

Source: IDC, Applied Materials "As product designers dream up ways to exploit the inherent connectivity that will be offered in intelligent products, we expect the variety of devices offered to explode," added Middleton. Gartner estimates the incremental IoT supplier revenue related to IoT in 2020 – hardware, software and services – to be worth $309 billion.
