The Department of Defense hopes soldiers and airmen will have an advantage in combat with new technology that is integrated into lightweight and wearable equipment. The Pentagon has invested millions of dollars to increase the power of the technology and to make this wearable technology smaller and lighter, so it is easier for troops to carry. "We're really trying to augment … [Read more...]
Army Introduces Technologically Advanced Career Field
The Army has recently created a new cyber branch in its defense department for soldiers who want to defend the nation in cyberspace. This new branch will work alongside other arms and branches such as infantry and artillery. This important new branch differs since it will conduct cyberspace operations as opposed to physical operations. “This new warfighting domain brings the … [Read more...]
New Radar Technology Developed to Detect Acts of Terror
Airports contain high levels of security and surveillance; however, other areas, such as coastal areas and harbors, remain less protected against acts of terror. These areas tend to lack radar systems to keep track of small boats, meaning terrorists could easily use this to their advantage and transport explosive devices through speedboats. This lack of security will soon … [Read more...]
New Technology Charges Cell Phones in 30 Seconds
An Israeli company named StoreDot says it has developed a technology that can charge mobile phones in under 30 seconds and electric cars in minutes. StoreDot used nano-technology to produce artificial molecules, thus creating a new battery that can retain power at a higher rate and more quickly. “These are new materials, they have never been developed before. The innovation is … [Read more...]
Smart Meters Create Concerns About Privacy
Recently in Michigan, DTE Energy has installed over two million Smart Meters, which are wireless boxes that can measure and report energy and electricity usage through radio frequency waves. The meters can be useful during power outages and harsh storms – the meters will alert officials of power losses and electricity will be restored faster. However, Michigan residents are … [Read more...]

Assessing Low Frequency Magnetic Field Exposure in Hybrid and Electric Vehicles
Alastair R. Ruddle, Ph.D., and Lester Low, Ph.D. Electrical powertrain technologies are currently of considerable interest within the automotive industry as a way of mitigating some of the inefficiencies of internal combustion engines (ICEs), or even eliminating ICEs completely, as well as eliminating tail-pipe emissions in urban areas. This would offer many important benefits … [Read more...]
Sunspot Could Create Solar Flares and Superstorm
A sunspot, big enough to fit 10 Earths inside of it, known as Active Region 12192 has just aligned with Earth and could cause major problems. This sunspot is the largest to be seen in over 24 years. The sunspot began facing Earth in October and created six eruptions; however, it did not create any coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The sunspot then disappeared for two weeks before … [Read more...]
High Performance Ceiling Mount Antennas Yields Industry Low Peak Gain
A new multiple-input/multiple-output distributed antenna system has been introduced by Pulse Electronics. This DAS ceiling mount system includes high port-to-port isolation and improved gain patterns for both of its ports. "Often MIMO antennas have problems with non-circular gain patterns with high deviation from min-to-max gains. In MIMO or neutral host applications the … [Read more...]
Protection Device Yields Industry’s Lowest Clamping Voltages
Semtech Corporation has announced its new RClamp0531TQ – a high-performance transient voltage suppression (TVS) device that protects automotive interfaces and aids in ESD protection. This protection device is “automotive-qualified offers unparalleled low-clamping voltage performance, an essential requirement for safeguarding the sensitive electronics common in today’s … [Read more...]
