AdaptiveInfo was founded in 1999 by Daniel Billsus and Michael Pazzani to commercialize a university research project on personalizing content delivered to wireless mobile devices such as cell phones and PDAs. At the time it was founded, industry experts predicted that by 2005, wireless carriers would be earning more revenue from data and services such as mobile commerce than voice calls. This ...

Present handheld devices like Smart phones, can be charged wirelessly using new energy harvesting circuit technique through using the traditional wireless technologies. In this case, Bluetooth with a charging circuit enables a short-range wireless charging of a mobile handheld. This paper present the overview of new process of charging and structure of power charging based on Scotty diode with ...

With the introduction of cellular phones, mobile wireless communication has become an integral part of day-to-day life in this century. A testbed is crucial in continuing cuttingedge wireless technology research and development since physical and MAC layers in mobile wireless communication have many parameters pertinent to performance that are often not tractable in analysis or simulation alone...

With the emergence of the wireless application protocol (WAP Forum, 2000) in 1998, which provided users of mobile devices with an optimized wireless protocol to access the Internet and to browse specific Web content, and with the introduction of specialized wireless programming models such as Java 2 Mobile Edition (J2ME) (Lawton, 2002), the .Net Compact Framework (Neable, 2002), and the Binary ...

BACKGROUND To study the association between use of wireless phones and meningioma. METHODS We performed a case-control study on brain tumour cases of both genders aged 18-75 years and diagnosed during 2007-2009. One population-based control matched on gender and age was used to each case. Here we report on meningioma cases including all available controls. Exposures were assessed by a questio...

Dear Editor,Lack of ionizing radiation and the low level energy emission from cell phones initially led to a public perception that use of mobile phones is safe. However, the dramatic increase in the use of cell phones has generated great concerns about their potential adverse effects. We have previously found no association between self-reported illness symptoms and the exposures to microwave ...

With the development of intelligent mobile phones and the improvement of wireless communication infrastructure, mobile payment is gradually accepted by the public. However, since intelligent mobile phones are not trusted devices, mobile payment faces serious security problems. To address the problems, this paper designs a trusted mobile payment scheme based on body area networks. The scheme bui...
