Mobile phones, tablets, PCS, TVS and other digital devices can be controlled touch-free with just a wave of a hand
such as mobile phones and wireless internet connections, have become an integral part of modern life. However, today devices use twice as much of the radio spectrum as is necessary.
New technology is being developed that could fundamentally change radio design and could increase data rates and network capacity, reduce power consumption,
A pioneering team of researchers from the University of Bristol's Communication systems and Networks research group,
which combines electrical balance isolation and active radio frequency cancellation. Their prototype can suppress interference by a factor of over 100 million and uses low-cost
small form factor technologies, making it well suited to use in mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
In Wi-fi systems this would double the capacity of a Wi-fi access point, allowing more users and higher data rates.
or alternatively the network operators could provide the same total network capacity with fewer base station sites,
Since the radio spectrum is limited a resource, and with network operators paying billions of pounds to access the spectrum,
As well as being part of the evolution to 5g mobile, this research is also very relevant to the design of the radio circuitry in current 3g and 4g cellular mobile devices.
In today mobile devices, a separate filtering component is required for each frequency band and because of this, today mobiles phone do not support all of the frequency channels
which are in use across the world. Different devices are manufactured for different regions of the world,
and there are currently no 4g phones capable of unrestricted global roaming. Replacing these filters with the research team duplexer circuit would create smaller and cheaper devices,
This would enable global roaming on 4g and would further decrease cost through greater economies of scale.
which via radio frequency sends"monitoring or results"to the doctor or specialist. He adds that as innovation is noninvasive,
and variety of smartphones and other connected devices keeps growing, the need for radio spectrum grows with it.
Cognitive radio technology developed under the EU-funded QOSMOS project could help meet these needs
while controlling telecom costs, improving service and driving the development of new markets. In the near future, the telecom industry will be faced with three challenges:
a need for more radio spectrum, an ever-increasing demand for data, and consumersincreasing unwillingness to pay for it.
Spectrum, however, is a finite resource. The QOSMOS project addressed the twin problems of scarcity and cost by developing cognitive radio technology that dynamically optimises the use of radio spectrum,
by accessing under-utilised portions of the spectrum and sharing spectrum across devices. he idea is to break down silos,
says Michael Fitch of British telecom, who coordinated the QOSMOS project. very new service and technology needs a new spectrum,
An early pilot led by UK telecommunications regulator Ofcom, for example, would use some of the technology developed in QOSMOS to access TV white spaces,

#Baidu to launch self-drive car Chinese web giant Baidu will launch its first driverless car in the second half of 2015,
The news, reported by Chinese language website Techweb, will put it head to head with rival Google.
The firm will work with an unnamed car manufacturer, according to Baidu's senior vice president Jin Wang. He made the announcement at the China Cloud computing conference.
The firm has teamed previously up with BMW to develop semi-autonomous car technology. The head of Baidu's deep learning lab Yu Kai has told previously the press that the firm does not agree with Google's view of a completely autonomous car,

#Google wants you to buy things straight through Youtube videos (GOOG) Youtube is rolling out a new feature that will let advertisers easily lists goods that they are selling alongside or within their video ads.
and links to their websites on their videos. Now, Youtube is linking videos ads into the same dashboard it uses for Google Shopping,
so instead of manually connecting individual products and ads, advertisers can have added product links automatically. Essentially, Google its taking the technology and infrastructure it built for Shopping
and letting advertisers use it in on Youtube.;With Trueview ads, which the company launched five years ago,
Google only charges advertisers if a viewer doesn't skip their ad and watches for at least 30-seconds or to the end of the video (whichever is less.)
When it rolled out cards, it started charging either for a click or a full-view,
The key is that Youtube bets the greater emphasis on this shopping element will make its ads more effective.
and then the more that Youtube can charge per view. Trueview for shopping is optimized for both desktop and mobile."
"Advertisers had used annotations in the past to make their videos interactive, but these didn't work on all screens
"Youtube product Manager Avi Fein told Business Insider via email.""So with cards and Trueview for shopping we created a very consistent experience that creates a much more engaging and interactive format for viewers."
"Along with the feature announcement, Google also stressed that people are using Youtube to help them make shopping decisions more than ever.
There are now more than 1 million channels on Youtube focused on product reviews, and views of those videos have grown 50%year-over-year.
For example, Wayfair said it saw a 3x revenue increase per ad impression served over its previous Youtube campaigns.
This rollout comes not long after the Wall street journal reported that Google plans to roll out a new"buy"button in its Google Shopping search results that will let users make a purchase without being shuttled to a brands website e
