Accidental wireless
Following a rollover automobile accident, driver and passengers are usually unable to call for help. So, unless the accident occurs on a busy road, rescue is unlikely to arrive in time to save them.   view more (2009-02-10)

A turbo compressor for mobile surfers
Despite faster Internet connections, many users still resentfully associate the three letters www with "world wide wait". This is also due to the fact that files are constantly increasing in size. When using wireless terminals with low-resolution displays, such as palmtops or PDAs, it is not in fact necessary to transfer all elements of... view more... (2003-02-20)

Analog and digital - hand in hand
Digital and high-frequency analog integrated circuits are manufactured using their own specific processes, leading `separate lives` in the past. Using standard CMOS, both types of component can now be integrated on a single chip - like a wireless transmitter device.   view more (2002-02-01)
