“…While early contributions to retail domain focused mostly on developing of e-commerce and ebanking services, more recent works have been investigating the best practices to design advanced technologies, in order to improve traditional physical points of sale as well (Pantano and Corvello 2010;Willow 2010). From a consumer's point of view, the benefits provided by such technologies are several.…”

The availability of a huge number of studies about the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) for predicting consumer's acceptance and usage of innovations in points of sale motivates writing of the present. Review, with emphasis on the new variables integrated in the traditional model. This is concerned with a synthesis of the current progresses in the field, thus offering a unified view of consumers' behaviour towards new technical solutions. Such synthesis is achieved from an extensive literature analysis, including computer science, innovation, human-computer interaction, and technology management perspectives. For each case, both opportunities and issues are outlined in order to advance the current knowledge and highlight what practitioners and scholars should take into account for developing new and efficient corporate strategies. ly applied also at retailing and consumers' usage of a new system in the points of sale (Pantano and Servidio, 2012). Hence, there is a huge amount of studies on the extended TAM, thus the need of a review able to synthesis the current progresses in this direction emerges for proposing a unified view of consumers' behaviour towards the new technical solutions in the points of sale. The aim of this paper is to provide a more comprehensive view of current researches in marketing and management studies, by reviewing the extant literature on TAM for advanced technology-based innovations for retailing including computer science, innovation management, human-computer interaction, and technology perspectives. We pursue this objective by reviewing studies that provide summaries of the variables and key findings of papers that directly address TAM. To achieve this task, we outline opportunities to enrich the knowledge of the phenomenon along with issues that practitioners and scholars should take into account for the development of new and efficient corporate strategies.The first part of the paper is devoted to the definition of emerging lines of inquiry and discussions of the theoretical contributions to the overall understanding of the phenomenon; whereas the second one focuses on the avenues for future perspectives, research methods and directions, suggestions on possible overviews for improving understanding of theoretical and practical issues emerged from the analysis. Conceptual frameworkIn the last decades an important line of inquiry focused on users' acceptance of new technologies has emerged, by understanding the main variables able to predict the actual usage of a system, in order to properly tailor new services and products to the market based on Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1989). In fact, literature proposes a wide range of successful applications at several sectors, such as e-learning (Liu et al.

In this short statistical report, we compile and analyze statistics on past and current scientific and technological research on photosensitive glass (PG) as well as glass-ceramics (GC). Their developments have traced remarkable histories since their first commercial discoveries in the 1940s and 1950s, both the work of Don Stookey. These products and processes have transformed modern life and are two of the most widely reported methods for special glass manufacturing. They provide security, are of high quality mass production. The U.S., Japan and China have been leaders in PG glass development, the second place going to China in terms of GC research communities. We have observed very significant progress in recent decades with an exponential growth in the number of scientific publications and patents for PGs and GCs due to new publications, author keywords, affiliations and primary characterization techniques. More than 6,497 patents were filed globally prior to 2015 with the terms "photosensitive and glass" and 9,738 with the terms "glass and ceramics" within the title or abstract according to the European Patent Office. These numbers have continued to grow along with worldwide PG and GC-related sales. Based on the Scopus database, for the same period 1,405 PG documents and 30,819 GC-related (primarily manuscripts) were published with the same terms in the title, abstract or keywords list. From this statistical analysis, both PG and GC will continue to be fascinating materials for further research, development and uses in the near future.

“…Intellectual properties accrued from technology innovation projects comprised of data communications via fluid networks discussed in this paper, coupled with original technologies such as the ThirdGeneration Display (3GD) and e-Paper, designed and developed by Willow [2010], are considered vital to complete the next-generation value chain of the U.S. economy. In addition, reliability of a developed prototype system may be secured by the Integrated Systems Design Methodology © [Willow, 2007].…”

Digital convergence has reshaped a gamut of industry demographics in the 21C, comprised of cloud computing, healthcare, pharmaceutical, consumer supplies, government, defense, manufacturing, entertainment, and even on-line education, among many others. At the center of the web-convergence lies the problem of network bandwidth limitation. Traditionally, research has focused on two major resolution strategies in parallel: data compression to minimize the network traffic (i.e. algorithmic; software) and alternative conduit for data transfer such as wireless (i.e. infrastructural; hardware).Building a network infrastructure is extremely costly. In addition, maintenance and upgrade costs may be prohibitive, given the U.S. consumer demographics. To this end, the emphasis is placed on seeking existing infrastructure which connects business and residential entities.The objective of this research, therefore, is to seek the possibility and feasibility of (digital) data transfers via the extensive water and/or sewer network(s), while minimizing structural modifications to the existing infrastructure. To date, sonar has been proven to be effective. If successful, the value of this intellectual property may be immeasurable.
