Integrating low -
powered radio chips into packaging allows vintners — and wine aficianados — verify their bottles with a smartphone app
Ditching the headphone jack could be the prelude to another rumored new product: Bluetooth earbuds based on a very - low -
powered radio chip developed exclusively by Apple.
Not exact matches
Instead of such circuits, an SDR uses digital - signal - processing
chips to allow a programmer to define the wave shape of a
radio signal, the frequency it uses and the
power level.
And it maybe goes both ways, but I know that in
radio astronomy, for example, they have taken advantage of a lot of the — and presumably in other kinds of astronomy as well, they've taken advantage of the, you know, how cheap storage is now and processing
power to do really hugely data - intensive observations with off - the - shelf technologies, and they've used graphics processors to, you know, do things they could only do before with custom fabricated
chips, which were obviously extremely expensive.
After kick - starting the
chip with
radio waves, it sustained the low -
power transmitter for 5 hours (Nature Biotechnology, doi.org/jqd).
Also, key - activated central door - locking, integrated front air dam, corrosion - resistant aluminized exhaust system,

power windows, lockable storage compartment beneath rear cargo deck, AM - FM stereo
radio and cassette player.
3G - enabled netbooks usually last significantly less when using that
radio versus Wi - Fi, which is a credit to the iPad's efficient A4
chip and the fact that this device is
powered by a mobile operating system and not a desktop OS.
The company products include
radio frequency and
power components, analog and RF integrated circuits, standard and customizable system - on -
chip solutions, and mixed - signal and radiation - tolerant field programmable gate arrays.
The
chip has no
power source - it's activated by a short
radio wave that can be read by a scanner.
Wireless
radios, noise canceling
chips, and batteries big enough to
power them are complications that headphones don't need, I thought, and would lead to unhappy compromises.
The W1
chip for wireless Beats and AirPods devices, Bluetooth 5.0 and Qi -
powered wireless charging are the big new
radio frequency amenities this time around.
Though we expect Apple to use a more
power - efficient
chip based on a 28 - nanometer manufacturing process in the next iPhone rather than A5X
chip, which is based on an older 40 - nanometer manufacturing process, the fact that the new 4G iPad offers the same battery life as the 3G iPad 2 despite 70 % more battery capacity, clearly shows what a drain 4G
radio can be on battery life and how critical it was for Apple to innovate in this area.
