Compression algorithms are not really new, so I've looked cautiously at the work of U.S. computer scientists claiming that 'they have developed technology that doubles the usable memory on cell phones ...

Computer engineers have developed technology that doubles the usable memory on cell phones and other embedded systems without any changes to hardware or applications. The improvement was made in the ...

Until now, compression algorithms such as the Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) have been implemented in software. This provided acceptable compression performance in many older systems. But with today's ...

In 1899, a writer for the popular magazine Punch’s Almanack famously wrote, “Everything that can be invented has been invented.” In 1943, IBM founder Thomas J. Watson allegedly said, “I think there is ...
