Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. (collectively "Fujitsu") announced the development of a gallium-nitride (GaN) high-electron mobility transistor (HEMT) power amplifier for use in W-band (75-110 GHz) transmissions. To realize long-distance, high-capacity wireless communications, a promising approach is to utilize the W-band and other high frequency bands that encompass a broad range of usable frequencies, and increase output with a transmission power...

Ensuring maximum vaccination outreach for Indian children requires the amalgamation of existing technology with learnings from the past; IoT in vaccination is the outcome of just that. There are twenty-seven million new births in India each year — the largest birth cohort in the world. However, fewer than 44 percent of these children receive the full schedule of immunizations. More often than not,...
