The best performing share gong went to Software Radio Technologies, a company which produces radio communications devices and which was bought by the managing director, Simon Tucker, after he overheard a conversation on a train.
The younger Bose's four-year old company, Vanu Inc., is a prominent innovator in the effort to use software rather than hardware to control how radios, cellphones and all other wireless communications devices recognize and manage signals.
Cognitive radios (CRs) incorporate artificial intelligence with wireless communications devices to enable automated decision making and long term learning.
Another series of innovations gave I.B.M. the technology lead in handling silicon germanium, a material especially suited for making the kind of compact, high-performance chips for handling radio signals used in cell phones and other wireless communications devices.
Since 1996, the Federal Communications Commission requires all wireless communications devices sold in the United States to meet specific guidelines for safe human exposure to radio frequency energy.
These drawings are from a patent filing from Apple on Aug. 7 for a radio-transparent communications device combined with a media player.
The haul will reportedly include 22,000 vehicles, 40,000 weapons, 44 aircraft and tens of thousands of radios and communications devices – the largest transfer of military equipment in the past eight years of conflict.
The system combines global positioning devices, digital radio communications and computers to track trains and take control of them if necessary to prevent collisions, derailments and other accidents.
Frequent radio transmissions through the player's communications device also add to the atmosphere, by broadcasting certain sounds and messages from non-player characters meant to unsettle the player.
