Every entrepreneur knows that  productivity  is one of the key ingredients for successful product development. One of the two key processes in Robert’s Rules of Innovation is the  NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS . A formalized, NPD process – also referred to and best practice: the Stage Gate® Process – is a must, from simple to sophisticated. The New Product Development process is often referred to as The Stage-Gate innovation process, developed by Dr. Robert G. Cooper as a result of comprehensive research on reasons why products succeed and why they fail. When teams collaborate in developing new innovations, having the following eight ingredients mixed into your team’s new product developmental repertoire will ensure that it’s overall marketability will happen relatively quick, and accurately – making everyone productive across the board. Step 1:  Generating Utilizing basic internal and external SWOT analyses, as well as current marketing trends, one can distance themselves

Wireless Charging provides a convenient, safe, and reliable way to charge and power millions of electrical devices at home, in the workplace and in industry. By eliminating the use of physical connectors and cables, wireless charging provides a number of efficiency, cost and safety advantages over the traditional charging cable. From smartphones, to hand-held industrial devices and heavy-duty equipment applications,  wireless power  maintains safe, continuous, and reliable transfer of power to ensure all varieties of devices and equipment are charged and ready to go at a moment’s notice. QUICK LINKS: What is wireless charging? How does wireless charging work? (+ infographic) Wireless charging for commercial applications Medical Devices & Equipment Vehicles & Transport WHAT IS WIRELESS CHARGING? Essentially wireless charging (a.k.a wireless power transfer or charging by induction) uses electromagnetic fields to safely transfer power from a transmitting source

In the past 10 years, there has been tremendous growth in the use of roof-mounted transmission devices. This topic is little understood within the fire suppression community. Until recently, some fire departments were completely unaware of this “new-age” communication tool, yet they have been scattered throughout their cities for years. It is important for all firefighters and chief officers to be aware of what these tools are and how they might affect their safety during any type of rooftop operation. The devices in question are microwave transmission dishes, “whip antennas” (vertical rods) and broadcasting towers. The presence of these transmitters can alter the ways fire departments function on a roof. For instance, some departments automatically send a team to the roof on any working high-rise fire. The firefighters’ pre-designated assignment is to stand by and await further instruction from the incident commander in the event any type of action needs to be taken at roof lev

Cellular phone towers cause as much cancer as Microwave ovens.  Myths in the question/description: The implicit one: 0. Please understand: The radiation emitted by cell phone towers is not related to the radio active radiation. Now,  The ones that are stated: 1. Cell phone tower emits radiation that causes caner.  >No, very less likely compared to other causes. There are some observed effects in mice, about 15 yrs back, but any effect on humans not established yet. 2. This is the reason why hospitals do not install towers on their roof.  >No, Hospitals don't prefer towers because their radiation (of electromagnetic signals) interferes with the medical equipment. Have you seen this anywhere? In a mall or a large corporate building may be? It looks like this when installed: This is also an antenna. Called, IBS (in-building solutions). Check it next time you're in a big hospital. These are usually much less powerful and used for small range of coverage b
