The high-speed data-transfer capabilities of UWB systems have spurred a group of inventors and entrepreneurs to promote this short-range technology as a nearly ideal way to handle the burgeoning flow of wireless information among networks of portable (battery-powered) electronic devices. These stand-alone networks could include personal digital assistants, digital cameras and camcorders, audio/video players, cell phones, laptop computers and other mobile electronic gear. To exchange the large digital files needed to support increasingly sophisticated broadband applications, these devices require high-bandwidth wireless communications links.
At present, it appears that semiconductor-based UWB transceivers will be able to provide very high data transmission speeds--100 to 500 Mbps across distances of five to 10 meters. These high bit rates will give rise to applications that are impossible using today's wireless standards. What is more, engineers expect these UWB units to be cheaper, smaller and less power-hungry than today's narrowband radio devices.

"Some scientists consider the ratio of male to female births to be an indicator of a population's health, because male sperm and embryos are more fragile than their female counterparts."
iSay - Some people might interpret these finding as "Women ARE stronger than Men". Nothing like that is the truth. Simply put, industrialized socities where men and women use tobacco and are exposed to other forms of polution are just the leading edge in the self-destructive side of the human race. It's sad, but true.
