Glittering and sparkling in online shopping in the Indian region: Nokia
Almost everyone in India, now uses a handset and normally the brand which is given the first choice is none other than Mobile phones that are made by Nokia (http://www.shopcorn.in/deal-dabba/brand.aspx?MID=4&Mn=Nokia), are, therefore, sold in huge numbers every single day.
Nokia is a company which has gone a long way in making advanced handsets which have features that are normally set as benchmarks for all other mobile manufacturers that are there in the world today.
Irrespective of the feature, human beings all over the world have come to associate the name Nokia with efficiency, impeccability and a modern outlook.
All the handsets that have been launched by Nokia, are available on some website or other. The level of awareness about online shopping in India (http://www.shopcorn.in) has seen an increase in the recent years. More and more number of human beings have come to know about the facility of being able to buy handsets from websites.
Hence, the sale of Nokia handsets via websites has seen an increase in the Indian region.
However, superior products should also be associated with the feature of high sales of Nokia mobile phones (http://www.shopcorn.in/deal-dabba/brand-description.aspx ...). This can be understood when one takes a look at any one of the handsets that have been launched recently. A brief analysis of the features that are present in this newly launched handsets would reveal that they are certainly worthy of being deemed as superior products.
The Nokia N86 8 MP is the perfect example that can be given for illustrating the above quoted fact. This primary feature of this handset is its camera which has a resolution of 8 MP and has a Carl Zeiss lens. The pictures that one takes using this handset normally have an image resolution of 3264 x 2448 pixels.
The storage ability of this handset is one that is nothing but a delight for anyone who likes to stuff his or her handset with songs, images and videos. The internal memory of this handset is 8 GB, however, this handset is equipped with a card slot which is capable of using the microSD (TransFlash) memory card in order to provide the facility of additional memory.
This dual slide handset is vested with many interesting software and applications which are extremely useful. One of them is the document viewer which can be used for viewing documents which have either one of the following formats: Excel, Word, PDF, Powerpoint.
Then this handset comes with a music player which is capable of supporting a total of 6 formats which are:
1. M4A
2. AAC
3. WAV
4. WMA
5. MP3
6. RA
Online shopping in India also has its share of preferred products which sell in high numbers. A mobile phone is one such product and when that mobile device has its creator as Nokia, then it certainly has a good chance of being bought by Indian customers who have always preferred the brand Nokia over other brands.

RTI Data Distribution Service Selected for Upgrade of Grand Coulee Dam’s Control System
The Grand Coulee Dam is the largest hydropower plant in the United States. The plant must carefully control how it supplies power to the grid. Failures that cause power spikes or dropouts are not acceptable. The project to retrofit the control system is for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) in cooperation with the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Hydroelectric Design Center (HDC) is the system integrator; HDC selected RTI Data Distribution Service to implement a highly available, high-performance and scalable control system.
The dam network connects a 40,000-point SCADA system controlling 30 generators to the transmission switchyard. In the new architecture, RTI Data Distribution Service will be used to integrate 50 to 60 Linux-based Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) on the central control network with Windows Human-Machine Interface (HMI) systems and various database and health-monitoring servers. The system will run on standard, ruggedized commercial computing hardware. The architecture will eventually be deployed on a network of 12 dams in the Federal Columbia River Power System.
Dave Brown, the project manager and system architect for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said, “We selected RTI after a comprehensive evaluation of Data Distribution Service [DDS] solutions. We liked RTI’s architecture because it eliminates all single points of failure. If a shared daemon fails, it impacts many critical applications. With RTI’s purely in-process solution, there is no dependence on shared services. We will be able to implement N-way redundancy for all critical subsystems.”
Automated Control Systems Inc. (ACSI) is a contractor on the project. ACSI president Dan Perrier added, “The dam control system processes waveform data, power metrics, temperatures, oil levels, vibration sensors and more. The current system uses many different protocols. DDS, with its flexible configuration and high performance, is easier to work with and is a better way to integrate the systems.”
Stan Schneider, CEO of RTI, observed, “We are proud to be an important part of such a large and strategic power system for the United States. Hundreds of mission-critical applications across several industries rely on RTI middleware. The selection of RTI Data Distribution Service for the Grand Coulee Dam speaks well of the maturity of both our product and the DDS standard.”
About RTI Data Distribution Service
RTI Data Distribution Service provides messaging for mission-critical distributed applications. It combines low latency, high throughput and fault tolerance in a scalable architecture for real-time systems. Systems built with RTI middleware are loosely-coupled; they communicate easily but under strict Quality of Service (QoS) control. Developers can specify the exact needed timing and reliability for each communication path. Direct peer-to-peer connection ensures fast delivery with no single points of failure. Automated configuration allows hot-swap, non-stop redundancy. Subsystems can start in any order, join or leave, or insert upgrades without impacting existing operation. RTI reliably delivers the right data to the right place at the right time.

Real-Time Innovations (RTI) is a standards leader. RTI’s middleware complies with the Object Management Group (OMG) Data Distribution Service (DDS) for Real-time Systems standard. DDS is the leading standard for real-time middleware, with dominant and growing adoption in military systems, air traffic control, and transportation systems. RTI chairs the OMG DDS committee and has a seat on the OMG board. In the power industry, RTI actively contributes to the North American Syncro-Phasor Initiative (NASPI) effort to define the new standard for interconnected power generation.
