The chip transmits a nine-digit number that tells Mr. Smith which snake he is tracking.
When the runner wants this information, the chip transmits it to the iPod, which interrupts the music to announce a report in a computerized voice.
Similar to how neuroscientists think the brain functions, the Loihi chip transmits data through patterns of pulses (or spikes) between neurons.
The device monitors body temperature and, using a nano-Bluetooth chip, transmits data in real-time to a Relay Unit in the same room.
Before the race, each runner's chip is assigned a unique seven-character code, which the chip transmits through a weak radio signal picked up by a technology called radio frequency identification (or RFID) each time the runner crosses a magnetic field, triggering the squealing sound that has become the system's signature.
(I've seen a demo of them, and they definitely appear to work: Wiliot chips pasted to small pieces of paper, and supported by clothes pins arranged on a desk but linked up no way to anything else, were hooked up to small buttons and other items. When you press a button, for example, the chip transmits that information to the cloud, where you can in turn see the activity on a dashboard).
War veteran's robotic arms and a brain chip transmits their thoughts to move the arm.
This network relay system means that each chip only has to transmit short distances, consuming less power than large chips transmitting over a far longer range.

By comparison, an Intel Pentium 4 processor, the fastest desktop chip, can transmit about 50 billion bits a second.
