The marketing technology vendors have recognized this and have adapted the way they sell and purchase technology to this buying pattern.
The electronic nose is an array of nano-scale gas sensors--the maximized surface area of the nano-particles allows the most gas to pass over them--along with pattern recognition technology that can create a digital fingerprint (or noseprint, as the case may be) of specific smells.
Rosetta brings two technologies to bear on sluggish drug development: chips that have been covered with a series of genes using what is essentially a modified inkjet printing process, and powerful computer algorithms that use pattern recognition technology to show how whole sets of genes are being turned on and off.
The electronic tongue consists of an array of liquid sensors (electrodes coated with conductive polymers) coupled to pattern-recognition technology that can distinguish particular flavors for taste studies.
Its reaction with the odour molecules changes a detector's electrical resistance, and this signal is fed into a neural net (the closest that computer technology has got to imitating the pattern-recognising abilities of networks of nerve cells) to work out what is being smelt.
For this pattern to emerge, the Robber Baron era of our current technology cycle has to have matured and plateaued, and big companies must be in the market for incremental innovations that enhance their main offerings.
Even a well-equipped hacker can't get microscopic glass shards to fall into a prearranged pattern, says Ravikanth Pappu , a co-inventor of the technology.
Once we see a pattern emerge from one type of bot, then we work to reverse engineer the technology they use and identify it as malicious.
Even larger leaps in sizing technology are being made by companies like Acustom Apparel, which uses 3D body scanners along with pattern-making software to scale the creation of custom-fitted clothing at a digestible price point.
FORBES: Five Trends Driving Traditional Retail Towards Extinction
By first splitting the molecules into very small lines and then using an equally rare nanoimprinting technology to put them into circular tracks, HGST can create platters with a 10 nanometer-wide bit pattern that's twice as dense as current hard drives.
