The second type refers to marketing on a mobile phone like cell phone. Since the onset of millennium, mobile marketing though cell phone has become very popular. Short message service popularly known as SMS has made marketing by this method a lot easier.There were some problems in the beginning as unwanted information was being sent to the people. Most of the SMS that were passed around was spam and it received negative media response in all parts of the world. This was because a sector of the advertisers bought list of mobile users and began sending them unsolicited messages. They were later stopped due to strict security measures and laws passed. Marketing industry recognized the potential of mobile marketing and utilized it to the full extent. The mobile service providers coded guidelines and laws. It then became a legal advertising channel. The Mobile Marketing Association and Interactive Advertising Bureau also have laid down guidelines for the proper functioning of mobile marketing.
Mobile marketing has become popular in Asia and Europe as it is a novel idea and in Europe alone hundreds of millions of pounds have been investing in SMS advertising.

This has created a new approach to reach out to potential customers. Now mobile short codes are looked upon as mobile domain name, by many of the brands around the world, when the customers message the brand at any occasion.

The first SMS short code campaign was started in 2002. SMS containing short codes are easier to send a message with complete information. Short codes are usually numbers that are assigned to mobile operators of a particular location, which they use for brand campaigning and other purposes. They are very small, like they contain only four to five words. These numbers are always under scrutiny by the service provider and each and every message is monitored to see that they do not go against the original service description. Like opt-in emails, customers have to opt for SMSes. This is the biggest criterion, which the advertiser has to follow in order to send a promotional SMS. Some of the mobile operators ask for double opt-in form from the receiver. At the same time opting out is made easy for the customer. When the customer wishes to terminate receiving messages, they have to send STOP word by SMS. All these guidelines have laid by the Mobile Marketing Association consumer best practice guidelines and it’s a compulsion to follow those by all the marketers who wish to do mobile marketing in America.

Kata computer pada awalnya dipergunakan untuk menggambarkan orang yang perkerjaannya melakukan perhitungan aritmetika, dengan atau tanpa alat bantu, tetapi arti kata ini kemudian dipindahkan kepada mesin itu sendiri. Asal mulanya, pengolahan informasi hampir eksklusif berhubungan dengan masalah aritmetika, tetapi komputer modern dipakai untuk banyak tugas yang tidak berhubungan dengan matematika. Dalam arti seperti itu terdapat alat seperti slide rule, jenis kalkulator mekanik mulai dari abakus dan seterusnya, sampai semua komputer elektronik yang kontemporer. Istilah lebih baik yang cocok untuk arti luas seperti "komputer" adalah "yang mengolah informasi" atau "sistem pengolah informasi." Selama bertahun-tahun sudah ada beberapa arti yang berbeda dalam kata "komputer", dan beberapa kata yang berbeda tersebut sekarang disebut ...

3D bioprinting

Erik Gatenholm first saw a 3D bioprinter in early 2015. His father, Paul, a professor in chemistry and biopolymer technology at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, had bought one for his department. It cost somewhere in the region of $200,000. “My father was like, ‘This thing can print human organs,’” Gatenholm recalls, still awestruck. “I said, ‘Bullshit!’ Then it printed a little piece of cartilage. It wasn’t cartilage, but it was like, this could be cartilage. That was the moment when it was like, ‘This is frickin’ cool!’” Gatenholm, who had long owned a regular 3D printer, decided then that he wanted to do something in 3D bioprinting.

Gatenholm had started his first biotech company aged 18 and he realised that if this machine had the potential to print organs, like his father said, then it had the...

Rapid Prototyping, 3D printing , FDM

Rapid Prototyping is the process to build the physical parts directly from the data the Computer Aided Design (CAD). This process is based on additive manufacturing technique, is a 3d object is created by bonding thin slices of material layer by layer. 3D printing is a generic term used primarily for additive manufacturing, where the object is constructed layer by layer. There are a number of technologies 3DP, borrowed from the large RP systems, the main difference is the choice of material, build speed and accuracy of parts. NC stands for Computer Numerical Control, refers to a computer "controller", that drives the machine. CNC machining is one of our most used services, suitable for functional, smooth and precise machined part directly from the engineering plastics or metals. Please check our CNC reserved for extensive information. FDM is also known as the Fused deposition modeling is layered additive manufacturing system.
