Although DSSC efficiencies have been improving, the pace of these improvements has been somewhat slow, with an increase of only (thicksim 6%) [3] from a value of 7.1% in 1991 [4].
Within the following year, there was marked improvement in the pace of the scale-up.
5 In 2013, there was a marked improvement in the pace of scale-up with close to 3 million procedures having been reported.
The read/write electronics of a hard-disk head are now etched with the sort of robotic "stepper" that is used to make chips.To pick up even weaker signals, IBM made the improvement that increased the pace of miniaturisation in the early 1990s.
Overall, mobile security is likely to be a growing concern, and one that could potentially become more complicated as the pace of improvements to mobile tech increases and our usage of those devices grows higher still.
Smartphones clearly continue to get more sophisticated, but the pace of improvements is far from accelerating and, increasingly, the smartness is either in the software built for the device, the platforms on the device or the actual total outsourcing of intelligence to the AI of Google Now, Cortana or Siri.
The figures in Table 4 indicate high variations in the pace of improvements in TLE across sex and time-period.
