In its two variants, it offers zero risk options with unparallel speed of deployment, simplicity in use, fire power and reliability.
Consumers will immediately benefit from enhanced reliability, ease of use and flexibility.
ENGADGET: HomePlug and IEEE want our home networks to play nice, talk to each other
Expected outcomes of this research include equipping members with the ability to improve planning and reliability of operations through the use of prediction and optimization in the areas of outage and asset management.

But, in terms of what a car is primarily for getting one from point A to point B quicker than it would take one to walk, run, bus or train there the Prius hybrid does a perfectly fine job, with less pain at the pump, more reliability, and more efficient use of space.
Schiller pointed out some of the downsides of the technologies it's removed or downplayed: rotating hard disks, for instance, use more power and are more likely to have reliability issues than solid-state storage.
CNN: Apple's Schiller: 'Old technologies are holding us back'
In both scenarios, the amount of electricity supplied through the power grid is lower during peak periods, which improves reliability, reduces rates by avoiding the use of high-priced power plants during peak hours and delays capital intensive infrastructure investments needed to maintain the grid.

Unlike SpaceX, which has its own rocket, SNC would use the Atlas 5 launcher, which has an excellent reliability record in putting up military and scientific satellites.
One early reason for banning tests was the idea that, as years passed, the Russians and Americans would doubt the reliability of their bombs and thus be reluctant to use them.
Changes in electric use by demand-side resources from their normal consumption patterns in response to changes in the price of electricity, or to incentive payments designed to induce lower electricity use at times of high wholesale market prices or when system reliability is jeopardized.
While Apple maintained the top spot for the ninth time in a row through US customers' happiness with the hardware design and ease of use, most of its major competitors made big strides in reliability, speed and camera quality in the past half-year -- to the point where there was a virtual dead heat for second place between HTC, Motorola, Nokia and Samsung.
If call reliability is paramount, stick with Verizon, and if you want to use a lot of data but don't care about speed, go with Sprint.
The Smart Grid will use automated meters, two-way communications and advanced sensors to improve electricity efficiency and reliability.
This will be the first commercial wind farm in the U.S. to deploy, at scale, turbines that use permanent magnet generators tech-speak for evolutionary turbine technology that will improve efficiency, reliability and grid connection capabilities.
As a result, operators can more effectively ensure a carrier-grade quality of experience for end users of High Definition voice and video, Web conferencing, instant messaging and presence, and other broadband-intensive mobile applications that go beyond the reliability of Skype, Apple FaceTime and other services suited for consumers but inadequate for the rigors of enterprise use.
