Most of the amplifiers also include SMA female … [Read more...]
New Bill Rids Electronic Devices of FCC Label
President Obama has just signed the E-Label Act into law. With this new act, the FCC required label that is typically found on the back of electronic devices will not be required to be placed directly on devices. The FCC will now be required to post the label information online. “The bill applies to devices with integrated displays — smart phones, tablets, TVs — and directs … [Read more...]
‘Selfie Sticks’ Reportedly Interfere with Electronic Devices
A popular device in South Korea known as the ‘Selfie Stick,’ an extendable rods that allow users to take ‘selfies’ by using a remote trigger on cell phones through Bluetooth, reportedly interfere with other electronic devices that are using the same radio frequency, such as medical equipment. The government believes this radio interference can become dangerous in many … [Read more...]
Mechanical Vibrations in Environment Aid in Generating Electricity
A group of research scientists at the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland announced they have found a new way to generate electricity. This method involves harvesting energy from vibrations in the environment and converting these vibrations into electricity. This was accomplished by connecting the bodies to an external circuit. The researchers generated this energy by … [Read more...]
MIT Researchers Develop Power-conserving Chip for Smartphones
Researchers from Eta Devices at MIT have developed a power-conserving chip believed to increase battery life in smartphones. The technology will allow batteries to last twice as long and work to conserve energy in cell towers. Batteries drain so quickly because power amplifiers typically stay at maximum voltage at all times, even when devices are not being used. The new chip … [Read more...]
