In the crowded 2.4-GHz wireless band where everything from Wi-Fi to Bluetooth to cordless phones and microwave ovens operates, high-definition audio communications strategies have to be nimble to avoid interference. By combining very small packet sizes with an adaptive frequency allocation algorithm, STS Inc. (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), a fabless chip maker, claims to have nixed interference while maintaining high-definition (HD) audio within a power budget that maintains long battery life for portable devices — albeit with proprietary protocols that are incompatible with other manufacturers' devices.

Cognitive computers—cognizers—aim to instill human-like intelligence into our smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices using microchips that emulate the human brain. Dubbed the “Future of Computing” by the NYTimes, one of the “Best Innovation Moments of 2011” by the Washington Post and one of “10 World Changing Ideas” in a Scientific American cover story “A Computer Chip that Thinks” this book reveals how neuroscience and computer science are merging in a new era of intelligent machines light-years beyond Apple's Siri, IBM's Watson.
