The Price Tag for a Merger: $19.7 Million for Past Interference, Plus Other Stipulations
Late last Friday, the Federal Communications Commission approved Sirius Satellite Radio’s buy-out of former competitor XM Satellite Radio after the companies agreed to pay $19.7 million to the U.S. Treasury to settle the issue of past violations of FCC rules that resulted in interference to FM terrestrial radio broadcasts. As a condition of FCC approval the newly merged Sirius … [Read more...]
RadHaz Comes to the Kitchen
Rice University nuclear physicist Bill Llope has embarked on a new avenue of inquiry that at first might seem to come under the purview of the home economist. He’s conducting tests in the kitchens of Houston area homes. Actually, Llope of Rice’s Bonner Nuclear Laboratory is using a Geiger counter to check for radiation in natural stone countertops. Carrying out a test at the … [Read more...]
European Union to Fund GALS Project to Boost System Integration and to Reduce EMI
A €4-million collaborative research project is being funded by the European Union’s Seventh Framework Program. The project has been dubbed GALAXY for GALS InterfAce compleX digital sYstem integration. Program participants will work to develop globally asynchronous, locally synchronous (GALS) architecture chips, as well as novel network-on-chip (NoC) capabilities. Participating … [Read more...]

3M has announced that it is bringing Sonitor’s high definition, ultra-sound based Real Time Location System (RTLS) technology to its Track and Trace customer base. RTLS technology, which is already deployed in several leading hospitals, automatically tracks, with room-level or sub-room level accuracy, the location of mobile equipment or people within complex environments such … [Read more...]
Pitt Oncologist Issues Warning on EM Fields from Mobile
In an unprecedented move, Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, (shown at left) head of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute (UPCI), issued a warning to 3000 staff members about the possible health risks associated with the electromagnetic fields from mobile phones. Dr. Herberman’s explicit list of ways to cut exposure contrasts with the usual advice from medical experts. The usual … [Read more...]
Arc Spray Technology Improves EMC Shielding
With the introduction of a fully automated, robotic coating production plant, HARTING can plate a variety of different plastic housings. The innovative process utilizes arc spray technology with zinc as the coating metal. Zinc is a highly conductive material that, when applied with high layer thickness through the coating process, provides a performance similar to that of full … [Read more...]
