If a camera detects a blemish on a chip, it sends a signal to one of the airhoses under the conveyor, and a jet of air blows the chip off onto the floor.
Rather, TRW is working with Nortel Networks to build signal-splitting chip sets fast enough to eliminate bottlenecks on the next generation of long-distance optical telecom networks.
And he argues the idea of some trying to read his chip in order to spoof its signal and access his house or other property is far less of a threat than other potential privacy invasions.

Sony has succeeded in establishing a structure that layers the pixel section containing formations of back-illuminated structure pixels over the chip affixed with mounted circuits for signal processing, which is in place of supporting substrates used for conventional back-illuminated CMOS image sensors.

When the chip is hit with a radio frequency signal, it emits a unique identifier number that functions like a long, unguessable password.

And what it is, it's a combination of a chip in various devices and an extra signal that can be sent out by television stations.
Scientists are aiming to combine the odour sensors and the signal processing components onto one silicon chip.
Light striking this detector liberates electrons from some of the silicon atoms, producing an electrical signal that is converted by the chip's electronics into a picture.
The new antenna generates a signal 30 times stronger than on-chip rivals at an ultrawideband-grade 135GHz, and musters a theoretical peak speed of 20Gbps -- enough that 802.11ac WiFi's 1.3Gbps drags its heels by comparison.

Weinberger tackled those problems by designing his chip from scratch, finding ways to split out parts of laborious signal-processing tasks and handle them in parallel.
Meanwhile mixed signal devices proliferate with both analog and digital components on a single chip.
One buy signal: Transportation stocks are rising in tandem with the blue-chip index, an occurrence that many investors view as a harbinger of more gains.

Receiving the signal is LG's prototype receiver built around the LG2161 demodulator chip and LG-exclusive 3D formatting circuitry that combines the side-by-side left and right images for seamless viewing without the need for 3D eyewear commonly used for 3D TVs.

Rival chip makers such as Texas Instruments and Motorola, which are strong in digital signal processing (a technology used in mobile telephones that is particularly suitable for intelligent appliances) welcome the chance to compete in a market that Intel does not dominate.
In addition, faster signal processing and lower power consumption can also be achieved through the use of leading process for the chip containing the circuits.
