Engineers from the University of Utah have discovered a filter for wireless communications that allows users of electronic devices to download data more than 1,000 times faster. Andrew Paulson, project lead and terahertz researcher, has been working on this research for more than two years. Paulson started by considering how to tap into terahertz radiation, which is a band of … [Read more...]
TECH TIDBIT: New Ruling in France May Lead to New Standard
The French Government is now ordering manufacturers to inform consumers how long their electronic devices (cell phones, computers) and appliances are expected to last. “The measure requires manufacturers to inform vendors how long spare parts for an appliance will continue to be produced. The vendor is then required to inform the buyer, in writing. Violators face up to 15,000 … [Read more...]
West Virginia Residents Fear ‘Quiet Zone’ May be Abolished
A national radio quiet zone was established in Green Bank, West Virginia in 1958 to house the world’s largest fully steerable radio telescope – the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope. The telescope successfully works due to the lack of interference from other transmissions. “Electrosensitives,” flocked to the area for more than 10 years. “Electrosensitives” are people who … [Read more...]
TECH TIDBIT- Wearable Technology Sends Vibrating Reminder Signals to Assists Students in Learning
The Wireless Research Center of North Carolina announces FokusLab’s launch of the RE-vibe wrist band. The RE-vibe wrist band uses an algorithm to determine when users are off-task and it sends them a vibrating reminder to get back to work. “It's currently estimated that more than 1 in 10 children ages 4-17 struggle to stay on-task while learning and completing school work,” … [Read more...]
New Law Focuses on Security of U.S. Power Grid
Arizona lawmaker, Rep. Trent Franks, has introduced new legislation to push the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to focus more on U.S. power grid security. Franks reportedly fears electromagnetic pulse blackouts and geomagnetic storms that can overload and disable U.S. power grids, thus interrupting everyday life. "The Critical Infrastructure Protection Act will … [Read more...]
New Handheld Wireless Bluetooth Transmitter
OMEGA introduces its new series of handheld wireless Bluetooth Transmitters. This series combines the accuracy of an industrial sensor/transmitter with the convenience of smartphones and tablets, according to the company. The transmitters measure different sensor inputs such as RTD, relative humidity, thermocouple and pH, and then wirelessly transmit the data to the users … [Read more...]
Inventor Plans to Rid the World of the Power Cord Forever
Meredith Perry, an inventor from New Jersey, has introduced her plans to “get rid of the power cord.” Perry has been working on a project at her company, uBeam, that involves producing a method to charge electronic devices over thin air. Ultimately, the uBeam Transmitter was born. "The dream is to replace all electrical outlets with uBeam transmitters. You'll wake up and just … [Read more...]
Russia Unveils Top 5 Most Effective Electronic Warfare Systems
Russia has announced its top 5 most effective electronic warfare (EW) Systems: Khibiny, Moskva-1, Krasukha-2, Rtut'-BM, and President-S. The Khibiny is a small torpedo shaped container that is mounted on wingtips of aircraft that increases the survival rate of aircrafts by 25-30 percent. After the aircraft has received an alert of a missile attack, the Khibiny covers the … [Read more...]
Astronomers Witness Cosmic Radio Bursts Live for the First Time
For the first time ever, Australian astronomers have seen bright flashes of radio waves live. These flashes are also known as cosmic radio bursts and they last for only milliseconds. Researchers have studied these bursts and have actively looked for more since the first burst in 2007, which was discovered by the CSIRO’s Parkes Telescope. Several other bursts have been studied … [Read more...]
U.S. Admiral Commends Navy’s Electromagnetic Rail Gun
Last month, the Navy ordered a new battery for its new electromagnetic rail gun as part of an $81 million dollar contract with K2 Energy Solution. “The Electromagnetic Railgun uses magnetic fields created by electrical currents to launch projectiles more than 115 miles,” the Office of Naval Research said. The U.S. Admiral praises the electromagnetic gun and laser due to its … [Read more...]
