16、er aviation pioneer. The current smart-phone patent war does not quite have the same romance, but it could be as important.Hardly a week passes without a new case. Motorola sued Apple this month, having itself been sued by Microsoft a few days earlier. Since 2006 the number of mobile-phone-related p
17、atent complaints has increased by 20% annually, according to Lex Machina, a firm that keeps a database of intellectual-property spats in America.Most suits were filed by patent owners who hail from another industry, such as Kodak (a firm from a bygone era that now makes printers), or by patent troll
18、s (firms that buy patents not in order to make products, but to sue others for allegedly infringing them). But in recent months the makers of handsets and related software themselves have become much more litigious, reports Joshua Walker, the boss of Lex Machina.This orgy for lawyers is partly a res
19、ult of the explosion of the market for smart-phones. IDC, a market-research firm, expects that 270m smart phones will be sold this year: 55% more than in 2009. “It has become worthwhile to defend ones intellectual property,“ says Richard Windsor of Nomura, an investment bank.Yet there is more than t
20、his going on. Smart phones are not just another type of handset, but fully-fledged computers, which come loaded with software and double as digital cameras and portable entertainment centers. They combine technologies from different industries, most of them patented. Given such complexity, sorting o
21、ut who owns what requires time and a phalanx of lawyers.The convergence of different industries has also led to a culture clash. When it comes to intellectual property, mobile-phone firms have mostly operated like a club. They jointly develop new technical standards: for example, for a new generatio
22、n of wireless networks. They then license or swap the patents “essential“ to this standard under “fair and reasonable“ conditions.Not being used to such a collectivist set-up, Apple refused to pay up, which triggered the first big legal skirmish over smart-phones. A year ago Nokia lobbed a lawsuit a
23、t Apple, alleging that its American rivals phone infringes on a number of its “essential patents“. A couple of months later, Apple returned the favour, alleging that Nokia had copied some phone features. Since then both sides have upped the ante by filing additional complaints.Lending ferocity to th
24、is legal firefight is the fact that competition in the smart phone market is not merely about individual products, but entire platforms and operating systems. These are the infrastructures that allow other firms to develop applications, or “apps“, for these devices. Should any one firm gain an impor
25、tant lead, it might dominate the industry for decadesjust as Microsoft has dominated the market for personal-computer (PC) software.Yet there is a difference between the smart-phone war and the earlier one over PCs. There is a new type of player: firms with opera-source platforms. Google, for instan
26、ce, which makes its money from advertisements, does not charge for Android (its operating system for smart-phones) and lets others modify the software. This makes life hard for vendors of proprietary platforms, such as Apple and Microsoft.Some expect Apple and Microsoft t0 sue Google. Yet this is un
27、likely, because the online giant will be hard to pin down. Google does not earn any money with Android, which makes it difficult to calculate any potential damage awards and patent royalties.The frenzy of smart-phone litigation could last for years. Litigation may also make smart-phones dearer. Mr.
28、White of Bristol York estimates that device makers already have to pay royalties for 200300 patents for a typical smart-phone. Patent costs are 15,20-of its selling price, or about half of what the hardware components cost. “If 50 people each want 2% of a devices value, we have a problem,“ says Josh
29、 Lerner, a professor at Harvard Business School.Finally, there is a danger that the current intensity of litigation will become normal. Pessimists predict an everlasting patent war, much as the wider information-technology industry seems permanently embroiled in antitrust action. The Wright brothers

34、s七、TEXT B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Bill Gates seems to relish being the skunk at the garden party. The former boss of Microsoft, now a global-health philanthropist, was invited to address a big “m-health“ conference in Washington, D. C. Some 2,400 proponents of delivering health services over wireless telecoms
35、, from the private and public sectors, gathered to celebrate the dozens of pilot projects under way around the world.Mr. Gates, however, warned the participants not to celebrate too soon. Just because an m-health pilot scheme appears to work in some remote locale, he insisted, dont “fool yourself“ i
36、nto thinking it really works unless it can be replicated at scale. Rafael Anta of the Inter-American Development Bank was even more cautious: “We know little about impact and nothing about business models. “Happily, evidence of m-healths usefulness is at last starting to trickle in. A study in the L
37、ancet, a medical journal, shows that something as simple as sending text messages to remind Kenyan patients to take their HIV drugs properly improved adherence to the therapy by 12%. Weldon, an American firm, found in a recent trial that an m-health scheme that relies on behavioral psychology to giv
38、e diabetics advice on managing their ailment has more effect than putting them on the leading diabetes drug.Another reason to think that m-health has a promising future is the flurry of business interest in it. One push comes from the rise of cloud computing (providing data storage and processing ov
39、er the internet), which Peter Newport of Microsoft argues will be “transformative“ for wireless health. UltraLinq, an American start-up, uses the cloud to offer medical imaging on the software-as-a-service model. AT a mobile phone captures and interprets the data, which can then be used for paid tel
40、emedicine consultations. Procter they held in their gloved hands thin umbrellas and hastily folded evening papers that resembled stiff, dirty rags of greenish, pinkish, or whitish color. Alvan Harvey stepped out with the rest, a smoldering cigar between his teeth. A disregarded little woman in rusty
41、 black, with both arms full of parcels, ran along in distress, bolted suddenly into a third-class compartment and the train went on. The slamming of carriage doors burst out sharp and spiteful like a fusillade; an icy draught mingled with acrid fumes swept the whole length of the platform and made a
42、 tottering old man, wrapped up to his ears in a woolen comforter, stop short in the moving throng to cough violently over his stick. No one spared him a glance.Alvan Hervey passed through the ticket gate. Between the bare walls of a sordid staircase men clambered rapidly; their backs appeared alikea
43、lmost as if they had been wearing a uniform; their indifferent faces were varied but somehow suggested kinship, like the faces of a band of brothers who through prudence, dignity, disgust, or foresight would resolutely ignore each other; and their eyes, quick or slow; their eyes gazing up the dusty
44、steps; their eyes brown, black, gray, blue, had all the same stare, concentrated and empty, satisfied and unthinking.Outside the big doorway of the street they scattered in all directions, walking away fast from one another with the hurried air of men fleeing from something compromising; from famili
45、arity or confidences; from something suspected and concealedlike truth or pestilence. Alvin Harvey hesitated, standing alone in the doorway for a moment; then decided to walk home.He strode firmly. A misty rain settled like silvery dust on clothes, on moustaches; wetted the faces, varnished the flag
46、stones, darkened the walls, dripped from umbrellas. And he moved on in the rain with careless serenity, with the tranquil ease of someone successful and disdainful, very sure of himselfa man with lots of money and friends. He was tall, well set-up, good-looking and healthy; and his clear pale face h
47、ad under its commonplace refinement that slight tinge of overbearing brutality which is given by the possession of only partly difficult accomplishments; by excelling in games, or in the art of making money; by the easy mastery over animals and over needy men.He was going home much earlier than usua
48、l, straight from the City and without calling at his club. He considered himself well connected, well educated and intelligent. Who doesnt? But his connections, education and intelligence were strictly on a par with those of the men with whom he did business or amused himself. He had married five ye
49、ars ago. At the time all his acquaintances had said he was very much in love; and he had said so himself, frankly, because it is very well understood that every man falls in love once in his lifeunless his wife dies, when it may be quite praiseworthy to fall in love again. The girl was healthy, tall, fair, and in his opinion was well connected, well educated and intelligent. She was also intensel
