BUSINESS Company Overview We are a world leader in the design and manufacturing of essential products and technologies that power the cloud and an increasingly smart, connected world. Intel delivers computer, networking, and communications platforms to a broad set of customers including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), original design manufacturers (ODMs), cloud and communications service providers, as well as industrial, communications and automotive equipment manufacturers. We are expanding the boundaries of technology through our relentless pursuit of Moore’s Law and computing breakthroughs that make amazing experiences possible. We were incorporated in California in 1968 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1989. Company Strategy Our vision is if it is smart and connected, it is best with Intel ® . As a result, our strategy is to drive a "Virtuous Cycle of Growth" that enables the expansion of the data center as well as the proliferation of smart, connected things and devices, while continuing to fuel technology with the economics of Moore's Law. People are experiencing a dramatic shift in their relationship to technology as things and devices become increasingly connected to each other and the cloud, merging the digital and physical worlds. Computing is becoming pervasive everywhere and in everything. The Virtuous Cycle of Growth leverages Intel's core assets to power the cloud and drive the increasingly smart and connected world. Virtuous Cycle of Growth Our businesses across the cloud and data center, through things and devices, are accelerated by memory and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technologies—all of which are bound together by connectivity and enhanced by the economics of Moore's Law. We further transform these technologies to deliver compelling user experiences. • The Cloud and Data Center. We believe that the most important trend shaping the future of the smart and connected world is the cloud. We design and optimize our products to deliver industry leading performance and best in class total cost of ownership for cloud workloads. Intel is adding new products and features to our portfolio to address emerging, high growth workloads such as artificial intelligence, media, and 5G. 2 Table of Contents • Things and Devices. Things and devices encompass all smart devices, including PCs, sensors, consoles, and other edge devices that are connected to the cloud. When a "thing" is connected to the cloud, the data it captures can be measured in real time and accessed virtually from anywhere. We will continue to deliver leadership, performance, and innovation in PCs. In our Internet of Things business, we focus our investments on areas where we see growth potential, such as the autonomous vehicle, industrial, and retail market segments. • Memory and Programmable Solutions. Advancements in memory technology and programmable solutions, such as FPGAs, make possible entirely new classes of products for the data center and Internet of Things. The need for faster storage and greater memory capacity unlocks value in the cloud as the demand to automate and analyze exponential quantities of data increases.

  • Lightweight Smart Glass System with Audio Aid for Visually Impaired People
    Lightweight Smart Glass System with Audio Aid for Visually Impaired People Feng Lan, Guangtao Zhai and Wei Lin Institute of Image Communication and Information Processing, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China Email: fdeanlan, zhaiguangtao,linwei181491g @sjtu.edu.cn Abstract—In this paper, we present a new smart glass system for people who are blind or have low vision. Individuals with visual disability are difficult to communicate effectively with their environment. The blind or visually impaired rely largely on their other senses such as hearing, touch, and smell in order to understand their surroundings. It is pretty hard for them to go out alone, not to mention finding toilets, subway stations, restaurants and so on. Giving blind people the great accessibility to their environment is the objective of the smart glass system. This smart glass system can see the world for them and give voice instructions and hints through wireless bone conduction headphones. This smart glass system will help visually impaired people gain increased independence and freedom in city life. And Fig. 1: Snapshot of the prototype smart glass. we have implemented an application of public signs recognition on the smart glass system. This application can detect and recognize the public signs in cities, and give corresponding voice hints to the blindness. The proposed prototype system is based on Intel by Intel as a development system for wearable devices. Its Edison, and the application in the system is written in C++ with dimensions are 35:5 × 25 × 3:9mm, with components on both libraries of OpenCV. Extended demonstration of the system will sides.

LETTER FROM OUR CEO Throughout our 40-year history, Intel has pushed the boundaries of innovation, creating products that have fundamentally changed the way people live and work. But what we make possible goes well beyond our product roadmap. By working with others, we are finding opportunities to apply our technology and expertise to help tackle some of the world’s greatest challenges—from climate change and water conservation to education quality and the digital divide. Our commitment to corporate responsibility is unwavering, even during economic downturns. In education, we surpassed the milestone of training 6 million teachers worldwide through the Taking a proactive, integrated approach to managing our impact on local communities and the Intel® Teach Program. In addition, we partnered with governments to support the advancement environment not only benefits people and our planet, but is good for our business. Making of their education programs, and helped put affordable, portable, Intel-powered classmate PCs corporate responsibility an integral part of Intel’s strategy helps us mitigate risk, build strong into the hands of students in close to 40 countries. We announced a joint business venture with relationships with our stakeholders, and expand our market opportunities.
