SAMSUNG ACHIEVES WI-FI DATA TRAVEL FEATS FOR 60GHZ BAND
Samsung Electronics has announced advances in Wi-Fi technology. Samsung said it found a way to make Wi-Fi data travel faster than it does currently. Specifically, Samsung said the new technology enables data transmission speeds of up to 4.6Gbps, or 575MB per second, a fivefold increase from 866Mbps, or 108MB per second, which the company said was the maximum speed possible with existing consumer electronics devices. Eventually, consumers will see the results of these efforts within various connected devices.

APP TO REMOTELY WIPE PHONES LEAVES POLICE IN TECH ARMS RACE WITH THIEVES
Police play a proverbial cat-and-mouse game with those they pursue, but also with the technology of the day they use. This game of one-upmanship, of measure and countermeasure, sees one or the other side temporarily with the upper hand.

THEY LIKE TO WATCH, YES, BUT THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING
Kai Huotari was a visiting scholar at Berkeley's School of Information in the spring of 2011, when the Fox TV series Glee—a weekly musical drama about the fictional McKinley High School glee club—took an unexpectedly interesting turn. While the club's lovable misfits struggled, as usual, to navigate the shoals of sex, social life and show tunes, the Twitter hashtag "#Glee" now floated persistently in the lower-right corner of the screen.

TOOL EVALUATES MORE BATTERY ELECTROLYTE POSSIBILITIES IN LESS TIME
For a battery to work, it needs an electrolyte to act as a bridge and carry ions from the anode to cathode and back again. However, batteries come in all shapes and sizes, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to battery electrolytes. For example, electric vehicles and "smart" phones are both powered by rechargeable lithium ion batteries, but because the demand on the battery is so different, they require different electrolytes.

OPTIMIZING HOW WIND TURBINES WORK WITH MACHINE LEARNING
Machine learning helps make complex systems more efficient. Regardless of whether the systems in question are steel mills or gas turbines, they can learn from collected data, detect regular patterns, and optimize their own operations. Researchers at Siemens are demonstrating that continuous learning also allows wind turbines to increase their electricity output.

NEW OPTIMIZATION METHODS MAKE LOW NOTES SOUND BETTER IN SMALL ROOMS
Joy or rage? Both feelings are not far apart when dealing with the sound of deep notes in our homes. Those of us who do not own a large concert hall but have a normal living room instead, can quickly be driven to despair when the new bass speakers which sounded so good in the shop just now are set up at home: they are sometimes too loud, sometimes too quiet, sometimes they drone unpleasantly – nowhere in the room seems to be perfect.

CAN WE TEACH ROBOTS RIGHT FROM WRONG?
From performing surgery and flying planes to babysitting kids and driving cars, today's robots can do it all. With chatbots such as Eugene Goostman recently being hailed as "passing" the Turing test, it appears robots are becoming increasingly adept at posing as humans. While machines are becoming ever more integrated into human lives, the need to imbue them with a sense of morality becomes increasingly urgent. But can we really teach robots how to be good?

HARCO PROJECT: INTELLIGENCE IN MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT
For many years we have been witnessing an unstoppable process towards the incorporating of "intelligence" into manufacturing processes. In the 1950s the incorporation of Numerical Controls, and the subsequently computerised ones or CNCs at the MIT, signified a fundamental step forwards in the process to automate machine tools. 60 years later, the aim to increase the final quality of the parts manufactured and the productivity of plants goes on demanding an ongoing effort to improve manufacturing technology. Particularly critical are the effects of the vibrations produced during the machining process on the spot when the tool is in contact with the surface of the part. The precision and final quality of the surface largely depend on these vibrations.
