Analytic is the tool useful for interpretation, communication and discovery of meaningful patterns in data. The automation of above mentioned process is said to be automated analytics. An automated analytics process often includes data retrieval, data management, model scoring, optimization & insights & reports, and media planning among others. Wherein, once the new data is gathered, many data management steps become necessary. For instance, data merging, clearing, aggregation filter, and transformations. If all these mentioned process are manual, then work efficiency is anticipated to hamper. However, implementation of automated analytics sets off all required data management processes and hence improvise the data analysis to make effective business strategies. Automated analytics helps to take firm and right business decisions. Unlike manual analytics, automated analytics provide recommendation to a human. In prescriptive analytics, automated analytics itself takes an action on the output of their analysis.

Automatic content recognition (ACR) is a technology to identify content available in a media file or played on a media device. This enables users to obtain specific information about the content that they just experienced without any search efforts or text based input. Automatic content recognition provides a solution for various brands to engage with television viewers on their second screens. Technology present viewers with second-screen content that's synced with the TV program and enables networks to measure a specific show's audience viewership in real time. Automatic content recognition works by making a digital mark from content on the television screen. This information can be used to identify the on screen content, and to sync with other automatic content recognition enabled devices, such as tablets and phones. According to IBM report, for television networks, the real benefit of automatic content recognition is precise to audience measurement.

Beryllium oxide, also known as beryllia, is an electrically insulating compound with high thermal conductivity. Beryllium oxide (BeO) is white in color. It is produced by thermal decomposition of Be(OH)2 (beryllium hydroxide). It is produced in the form of white amorphous powder and is sintered into large shapes. The properties of BeO include excellent thermal conductivity and high corrosion resistance. It also has good chemical stability and resistance to carbon reduction at extreme temperatures. Beryllium oxide is available commercially in the form of powder with purity greater than 99%. The sintering of BeO is carried out at temperatures ranging from 1600°C to 1800°C. Beryllium oxide has properties similar to those of aluminum oxide or aluminum nitride. Its thermal conductivity is 10 times more than that of alumina. By using pressing, slip casting, and other fabrication techniques; various flat and tubular components can be made from BeO. When beryllium is alloyed with aluminum, copper, nickel, or cobalt; the process increases the hardness and corrosion resistance of the alloy. Due to its low density and atomic mass, beryllium is relatively transparent to X-rays and other forms of ionizing radiation. Hence, it is the most commonly used window material for X-ray equipment and in particle physics experiments. High thermal conductivity of beryllium and beryllium oxide has led to their use in heat transport and heat sinking applications.

Cooling fabric is a clothing material that traps body heat, thereby keeping the skin dry. Cooling fabric provides certain benefits such as breathability, high cooling effect, insulation capacity, and protection from UV rays. Cooling fabrics are used to make headgears, T-shirts, wrist bands, protective wears, jackets, coats, home textiles, sport swear, work wear, uniforms, and neck bands. Cooling fabrics can be manufactured by utilizing the evaporative cooling technology, phase change technology, ice & gel pack, or super-absorbent fiber technology. Evaporative cooling systems employ super-absorbent hydrophilic and hydrophobic fibers evenly distributed in the form of a low-profile and lightweight fabric. These fibers have the ability to absorb heat and uses water absorbing crystals. Fabrics based on this technology are portable and are inexpensive. However, such fabrics are not suitable to be used at high relative humidity, as they remain damp even with little air, which further causes skin irritation and bacterial growth. Products manufactured using the phase change technology continuously interact with the unique microclimate of the human body as well as the environment to moderate the body temperature. The gel/ice pack technology employs mixture of water and starch. It offers cooling capacity similar to ice. Garments based on the ice pack technology consist of pockets that hold gel/ice packs and absorb the body heat. Such garments are portable and inexpensive. They provide high cooling power even if they are used for short duration of time. Fabrics based on the super-absorbent fiber technology are used in challenging environments such as fire, search and rescue, and military operations. These fabrics stimulate the dissipation of moisture and heat through the absorption and containment of body sweat and provide a cooling effect to wearer by directly reducing the risk of stress caused by heat.
