Software as a Service
Wiki
The encyclopedia explains the major technical terms used to describe the technologies for the future markets of today, tomorrow and beyond. From A as in app to M as in MEMS right through to Z as in ZigBee.
Sensor Fusion
The intelligent convergence and processing of all (environmental) sensor data required for autonomous processes. The results of sensor fusion are better than those obtained from the interpretation of measured values from individual sensors.
Server
Central network computer via which functional and infrastructural network services are provided.
SIM
Subscriber Identity Module
SIM lock
Lock code to restrict the use of SIM cards
Singularity
Also called technological singularity – the point in time at which machines are so advanced that they can upgrade themselves.
Smart Factory
In the Smart Factory, people, machines and resources communicate freely.
Smart Grid
An intelligent power grid
Smart Meter
An intelligent meter
Stereo camera
When a stereo camera captures an object, there is a spatial disparity between corresponding points in the left and right image. The disparity is inversely proportional to the range of the point been viewed. This enables depth information of a scene to be calculated from a stereo image. The result of the calculation is a value per pixel, and can be visualized as a depth map.
Streaming
The continuous transfer of compressed data in the form of a data stream over the Internet.
System-on-Chip
A wide variety of circuitry components.
