CCDs are ideal for very low light imaging applications, such as astronomy, clinical diagnostic testing, and bioluminescence. The compatibility of the CCD with very long integration times, and facility for noiseless on-chip charge binning, makes it a very sensitive imager.
It remains very competitive for certain applications...

Modern power distribution systems often contain multiple power sources integrated within one system. A simple variant may be the common double-ended substation, which can be further complicated by additional emergency or alternate sources. This presents significant complexity to the designer attempting to design a protection...

As factory automation systems become more intelligent they will move data acquisition, storage and processing out to the edge of the network, enabling real-time machine controls and management. Factories will be smarter and more connected. These “edge nodes” will predict, then prevent failures before they occur...
