CMOS Image Sensors: Evolution, Patent Trends, Leading Players & More

Image
  Image sensors are semiconductor devices used to capture the world with a touch of our fingers. Thanks to the evolution in semiconductor technology, the size of image sensors has also reduced to the tip of our fingers. It is estimated that over   1.7   trillion images will be taken in 2022. This is a testament to the widespread role image sensors have in our lives. These sensors can now capture details on macroscopic and microscopic levels that not even a human eye can capture. The primary function of the image sensor is to capture light from our environment and convert the captured light into electrical signals. Image sensors can be categorized into Charge-Coupled Devices (CCD) and Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors based on the architecture for converting light to electrical signals, and device structure. The latter are used in all sorts of digital cameras for image and video shooting. This article will discuss the evolution of image sensors f...

Patent Trends in Big Data Analytics: Dominating the Digital Era

Image
  For decades, relational data management tools have been storing and processing traditional data that is structured in way that makes it easier to manage and manipulate. With globalization and ease of accessing the internet, people are generating enormous amount of real-time data, that is spread across tons of social media platforms and streaming services such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, etc. Big Data Analytics helps in examining this vast amount of data to find hidden patterns, unknown linkages, industry trends, and client preferences to make informed business decisions. Companies are already innovating in the Big Data Analytics space to gain an edge over their competition. Patent trends play a key role in understanding the growing interest in Big Data Analytics and its role in the future. This article will explore the concept of Big Data, how AI helps dig into Big Data, and offers valuable insights into the patent trends...
