In a new edition of their report ‘Mobile Broadband Cards, Routers, Services, and Subscribers’ Infonetics Research predict mobile broadband cards to be an $8.4 billion market by 2013.

Report highlights:

The mobile broadband card market grew 10% sequentially in the first half of 2009, driven by increasing adoption of HSPA and demand for netbooks

Manufacturer revenue from mobile broadband cards is forecast to hit $8.4 billion worldwide by 2013

Worldwide, the number of mobile broadband subscribers is expected to near 1 billion by 2013 (including phone and PC based W-CDMA/HSPA, CDMA2000/EV-DO, and LTE subscribers)

Mobile subscriber growth is being fueled by people seeking basic voice service, particularly in BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China), all migrating to 3G, which in turn will drive mobile broadband subscriber adoption

CDMA operators have been quicker off the blocks with mobile broadband, rolling out EV-DO earlier than GSM operators upgraded their networks to W-CDMA/HSPA, resulting in significantly higher CDMA2000/EV-DO mobile broadband card adoption

Between 2009 and 2013, worldwide service provider revenue from mobile broadband services is forecast to more than double

In 2008, Americans consumed more nuclear, solar, wind and biomass energy than they did in 2007.  As a whole, the nation consumed less petroleum and coal energy within a similar period of time and witnessed only a slight increase in the consumption of energy from natural gas. The consumption levels of geothermal energy remained the same.  In 2008, an estimated consumption of energy in the US was equivalent to 99.2 quadrillion BTUs (quads), down from 101.5 quadrillion BTUs of energy consumed in 2007. A BTU or British Thermal Unit is the unit of measuring energy, and is equivalent to approximately 1.055 kilojoules.

In the transportation and industrial sectors, the consumption of energy reduced by 0.9 and 1.17 quads respectively, while in the residential and commercial energy use, consumption climbed slightly. The drop in the use of energy in the industrial and transportation sectors, which rely heavily on petroleum energy, is attributed to a spike in oil prices during the summer of 2008.

There was witnessed a significant increase in the use of biomass energy last year, with the recent push for the development of more biofuels such as ethanol.

Some of the annual changes in consumption and supply of energy can be traced to factors including the energy policy and the United States economy. The increase in the consumption of wind energy can be attributed to large investments in wind turbine technologies that have taken place during the last few years, as well as the improved use of the existing wind turbines.

In 2008, there was a slight increase of nuclear energy use to 8.45 quads up from 8.41 quads in 2007. No new nuclear energy power plants came up in 2008 although the existing nuclear energy power plants experienced less down time. In the last 20 years, the downtime for refueling and maintaining nuclear energy power plants has been decreasing. With many years of experience, nuclear energy plant operators have been able to optimize plant reliability on short maintenance cycles.

The chart also indicated the amount of energy that was rejected by the United States. Only 42.15 quads of energy were used as energy services out of the 99.2 quads consumed.

The ratio of energy services to the total amount of energy consumed is an indication of the energy efficiency of the United States. Some of the rejected energy will show up as waste heat from power plants.

Microbe Strain That Makes More and Faster Electricity

A new strain of microbes was evolved by scientists, which dramatically increases the power output for every cell, as well as their overall bulk power. These experiments were conducted on Geobacter, the sediment-loving microbe that has hair-like filaments which help it to produce electric currents from mud and wastewater. This new microbe strain also works with a thinner biofilm than earlier microbe strains, thereby reducing the time it takes to reach electricity producing concentrations on the electrode.

This new research proves that output may be boosted by this microbe strain and it gives good insights into what it would take to genetically select a higher-power organism.

The findings in this research further allow for the development of fuel cell architecture in microbes and should result in new applications which will extend well beyond the extraction of electricity from mud. These new experiments saw the researchers adapting the environment of the microbe, which caused the microbe to adapt more efficient methods of electric current transfer.

In summary, the researchers increased the power output by eight-fold, thereby breaking through the plateau in power production that had been an obstacle to successful research in the last few years. But now, scientists can move forward in designing fuel cells of microbes which convert waste water and renewable biomass into electricity, treat the waste of a single home, while also producing localized power, in order to power vehicles, mobile electronics and implanted medical devices, as well as drive the bioremediation of environments which are contaminated. These fuel cells of microbes could in the long run prove very beneficial in developing countries.

The hair-like pili of this Geobacter microbe are very fine, measuring only 3-5 nanometers in diameter, or approximately 20,000 times finer that the human hair, and far more than 1,000 times longer than they are wide. In spite of all these, the hair-like pili   of this Geobacter microbe – nicknamed nanowires, are very strong. The secret of how this microbe is able to produce electric current from organic waste and sediment lies in the pili. The pili of this microbe seem vital for the formation of the biofilm which helps the transference of electron products to iron in sediment and soil. In nature, colonies of bacteria form gluey biofilms in order to anchor onto a surface such as a tooth or an underwater rock, thereby providing a living environment which is close to a food source.

Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene for Electronics Applications: Technologies, Players & Opportunities

Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene exhibit extraordinary electrical properties for organic materials, and have a huge potential in electrical and electronic applications such as sensors, semiconductor devices, displays, conductors and energy conversion devices (e.g., fuel cells, harvesters and batteries). This report brings all of this together, covering the latest work from 78 organizations around the World to details of the latest progress applying the technologies. Challenges and opportunities with material production and application are given.

Applications of Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene for electronics applications
Depending on their chemical structure, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be used as an alternative to organic or inorganic semiconductors as well as conductors, but the cost is currently the greatest restraint. However, that has the ability to rapidly fall as new, cheaper mass production processes are established, which we cover in this report. In electronics, other than electromagnetic shielding, one of the first large applications for CNTs will be conductors. In addition to their high conductance, they can be transparent, flexible and even stretchable. Here, applications are for displays, replacing ITO; touch screens, photovoltaics and display bus bars and beyond.

In addition, interest is high as CNTs have demonstrated mobilities which are magnitudes higher than silicon, meaning that fast switching transistors can be fabricated. In addition, CNTs can be solution processed, i.e. printed. In other words, CNTs will be able to provide high performing devices which can ultimately be made in low cost manufacturing processes such as printing, over large areas. They have application to supercapacitors, which bridge the gap between batteries and capacitors, leveraging the energy density of batteries with the power density of capacitors and transistors. Challenges are material purity, device fabrication, and the need for other device materials such as suitable dielectrics. However, the opportunity is large, given the high performance, flexibility, transparency and printability. Companies that IDTechEx surveyed report growth rates as high as 300% over the next five years.

Graphene, a cheap organic material, is being enhanced by companies that are increasing its conductivity, to be used in some applications as a significantly cheaper printed conductor compared to silver ink. All this work is covered in this new report from IDTechEx.

Activity from 78 organizations profiled
IDTechEx has researched 78 companies and academic institutions working on carbon nanotubes and graphene, all profiled in the report. While manufacturers in North America focus more on single wall CNTs (SWCNTs); Asia and Europe, with Japan on top and China second, are leading the production of multi wall CNTS (MWCNTs) with Showa Denko, Mitsui and Hodogaya Chemical being among the largest suppliers. The split of number of organizations working on the topic by territory is shown below.

Opportunities for Carbon Nanotube material supply
A number of companies are already selling CNTs with metallic and semiconducting properties grown by several techniques in a commercial scale but mostly as raw material and in limited quantities. However, the selective and uniform production of CNTs with specific diameter, length and electrical properties is yet to be achieved in commercial scale. A significant limitation for the use of CNTs in electronic applications is the coexistence of semiconducting and metallic CNTs after synthesis in the same batch. Several separation methods have been discovered over the last few years which are covered in the report, as is the need for purification.

Opportunities for Carbon Nanotube device manufacture
There are still some hurdles to overcome when using printing for the fabrication of thin carbon nanotube films. There is relatively poor quality of the nanotube starting material, which mostly shows a low crystallinity, low purity and high bundling. Subsequently, purifying the raw material without significantly degrading the quality is difficult. Furthermore there is also the issue to achieve good dispersions in solution and to remove the deployed surfactants from the deposited films. The latest work by company is featured in the report.

Apparel makers are faced with the challenges of designing fashionable styles, producing multiple styles in short runs, managing stock levels, improving delivery speeds, achieving flexibility and versatility, and ensuring that clothes fit well and are of good quality. They also have to produce clothing cost-effectively for a market which is supplied largely from countries with very low wage rates. Given that clothing production is labour intensive, many developments have been geared towards labour-saving automation so that producers in developed countries are more able to compete with low cost countries.

Automation is more appropriate for producers in developed countries than in developing countries where most of the clothing industry is now based. However, it is appropriate in some developing countries where there are growing shortages of skilled labour. In addition, developments are helping companies to achieve higher and consistent quality levels in order to meet the increasingly stringent demands being placed on them by buyers. A growing number of developments is being aimed at the requirements of the industries in specific countries, notably China.

Technological developments are also helping companies to differentiate their product offerings and to operate more efficient supply chains. In doing so, these developments are enabling producers to meet pressures from retailers for quicker delivery times and more efficient management of stock levels.

This report examines developments in four areas of apparel technology: developments in apparel manufacturing technology; developments in garment decoration; three-dimensional clothing design and visualisation technology; and radio frequency identification (RFID). Developments in garment decoration include machines for embroidery, lasers for cutting applications, direct-to-garment digital printing, methods of attaching sequins, and embossing. RFID enables manufacturers and retailers to track the location and progress of a product anywhere in the supply chain. Also an RFID-tagged piece of clothing can be held in front of a “magicmirror” in a retail store to display various types of personalised information.

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst, which is a stage reach 4-5 days post fertilization. hESCs are the most pluripotent of all stem cell types and can develop into over 200 different cell types of the human body.

hESCs were first derived from mouse embryos in 1981 by Martin Evans and Matthew Kaufman, and independently by Gail R. Martin. In 1995, the first successful culturing of embryonic stem cells from non-human primates occurred at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Another breakthrough followed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in November 1998 when a group led by Dr. James Thomson developed a technique to isolate and grow hESCs derived from human blastocysts. Federal funds to support hESC research became available on August 9, 2001, when President Bush announced his decision regarding federal funding for hESC research.

Because of their plasticity and unlimited capacity for self-renewal, hESCs have been proposed for use in wide range of applications, including toxicology testing, tissue engineering, cellular therapies, and basic stem cell biology research. Of particular interest to the medical community is the potential for use of hESCs to heal tissues with naturally limited capacity for renewal, such as the human heart, liver and brain.

This market report recognizes that a wide range of products and services are needed to support this active and well-funded research community. Thus, this report provides:

There are many companies using established and novel molecular biological techniques to try to produce successful RNA/DNA products for a variety of indications. However, even with substantial investment, the RNA/DNA therapy products market is still in its infancy, only three products have obtained a licence and only Macugen, for wet AMD, is actively available on the worldwide markets. RNA/DNA therapy products have faced problems, principally due to immunogenicity and in proving effective enough, primarily due to inefficient delivery systems.

This exclusive management report delivers :

- The leading RNA/DNA therapy companies and products

- Clear analysis of the market divides into aptamer, antisense, DNA therapy products and RNA therapy products, sectors

- In-depth analysis and profiles of the leading companies, together with their leading and developmental products.

- It’s top 5 ranked companies in each sector and identified products with the potential to be launched within the forecast period.

In the short term the leading potential therapeutic area for RNA/DNA therapy products is ocular disease. Macugen, an aptamer for the treatment of wet AMD, is the only RNA/DNA product currently available worldwide. It is predicted that Macugen will lead the RNA/DNA therapy products market between 2007 to 2012, generating in the region of $1.7bn in cumulative sales over this period. However, it is the cardiovascular sector, with 5 products predicted to launch before 2012, where It anticipates RNA/DNA therapy products will ultimately have the greatest impact.

DNA therapy products is the sector that has the greatest investment, with the most specialist companies and the greatest number of products predicted to launch prior to 2012. However, antisense is the sector with the most collaborating companies and it also has the product Genasense, which has filed for an EU and US license, although it is encountering problems in obtaining these licenses and its future is by no means certain.

RNAi technology undoubtedly has huge potential for developing products in many therapeutic areas. The investment in novel, often nanoparticle, delivery systems for RNAi products may ensure that this potential is ultimately realised. If solutions for efficient delivery of RNAi can be solved early on in RNAi development the RNA/DNA therapy market may see a future expansion due to successful RNAi therapies. RNAi has the potential to emerge as a dominant section of the RNA/DNA therapy products market, but only time will tell if it can ultimately fulfil this potential.

Over the forecast period 2007-2012 RNA therapy products are not likely to generate substantial sales.
