37. ETHEREUM
• The block chain is a powerful idea that could be applied to more than just
transaction records.
• One use can be to develop computerized, self-enforcing contracts that make
automatic payments when a task is complete.
• This can be extended to voting systems, crowdfunding platforms, and even
other cryptocurrencies.
• All these interaction need TRUST!
• Ethereum is suited to these situations --- when users do not trust one another
and where central control is a weakness !
• In 2014, to make it easier to develop such applications, Gavin Wood and Vitalik
Buterin devised a way to combine the block chain with a programming
language. At present it is the first Turing complete language in the space

45. Super Computing
The Universe is made up of matter and energy and is
governed by mathematical equations.
Humans are remarkably creative, intelligent and
adept at uncovering underlying mathematical
equations, yet they need computers to solve
problems at a grand scale for societal problems.
Really big problems require very large computational
capabilities.
Supercomputing leverages and integrates the best
technologies to help scientists transform their
research into new discoveries.
Supercomputing is the invisible engine that impacts
safety, security and quality of life in today’s society.
From predicting hurricanes to finding more efficient
energy sources to designing new drugs to cure
diseases, supercomputing is fundamental to society
50. 3D Printed Integrated Circuits • Conductive Ink lets
you print objects
and circuits in one
machine.
• This reduces cost,
time and the
business
relationship with
suppliers.
• The company has
also created inks
that can print
lithium-ion
batteries.
• This liquid power
source can be
deposited
between
components to
reduce size.
51. 3D Printing in the Bio Tech Sector
Anatomics: 3D Prints Titanium Ribs and Sternum for Cancer Patient
Using CT scans of the patient’s chest, they created
a precise 3D model, and then printed the implant
• As 3D printing allows products to be
custom-matched to an exact body shape, it
is being used to make better titanium bone
implants, prosthetic limbs and orthodontic
devices.
• Experiments in printing soft tissue are
underway, and may soon allow printed veins
and arteries to be used in operations.
• Today’s research into medical applications of
3D printing covers nano-medicine,
pharmaceuticals and printing of organs.
• 3D printing is now being used to customize
medicines and reduce, if not eliminate,
organ donor shortage.
52. 3D Printing Drugs
• Nearly 100% of all prescription drugs are mass produced by pharmaceutical
companies in commonly prescribed doses and in a handful of shapes.
• The shape and size of a pill can greatly change the effect it has .
“The future of medicine design
and manufacture is likely to
move away from mass
production of tablets/capsules of
limited dose range towards
extemporaneous fabrication of
unit dosage forms of any dose,
personalized to the patient,”
To correlate geometry with dissolution behavior.
Conclusion: Tablets showed no dependence on
the surface area but rather on surface are to
volume ratio, indicating that geometrical shape
has an influence on drug release profile.
October 13, 2015: FDA approves Aprecia’s
SPRITAM ,the 1st 3D-printed drug product for the
treatment of epilepsy seizures (adults & children)
53. 3D Bio Printing
• Bio-ink is made from living cells and behaves much like a liquid, making it easy to
print a desired shape.
• To make bio-ink, a slurry of cells is loaded into a cartridge and inserted into a
specially designed printer, along with another cartridge containing a gel known as
bio-paper.
• When the printer is triggered , the cartridges alternate layers to build a three
dimensional structure, with the bio-paper creating a supportive matrix that the ink
can thrive on.
• Applications:
• Tissue engineering: materials and hydrogels, growth factors, cells, collagen, cholesterol
• Drug delivery: bio-resorbable polymers, drugs , cells, genes, DNA, proteins , cholesterol
• Medical diagnostics and Biosensors: DNA, proteins and peptides, antibodies, enzymes, cells
• Structural genomics: lipids, proteins

70. 6D’s of Exponential Entrepreneurs
• Digitalization- Culture makes progress
cumulative. Innovation occurs as humans share
and exchange ideas.
• Deception- What follows digitalization is
deception, a period during which exponential
growth goes mostly unnoticed.
• Disruption- a technology is any innovation that
creates a new market and disrupts an existing
one. Unfortunately, as it follows deception, the
original technological threat often seems
laughably insignificant
SOURCE:P.Diamandis
71. • Demonetization- This means the removal of
money from the equation. Consider Kodak. Their
business evaporated when we replaced film with Pixels.
• Dematerialization- While demonetization
describes the vanishing of the money once paid for
goods and services, dematerialization is about the
vanishing of the goods and services themselves
…Who makes film?
• DEMOCRATIZATION – Crowd Source it and let
the users/people decide.
