Tears Prompt Electromagnetic Inspections on 737s
During a flight on April 4, a Southwest Airlines plane had a section of fuselage tear from the plane. Federal aviation officials were preparing to issue an order Tuesday that calls for emergency inspections on 80 U.S.-registered Boeing 737 jetliners with histories similar to that Southwest Airlines jet, which had been pressurized and depressurized 39,000 times before a … [Read more...]
Networking Over White Spaces (KNOWS)
Microsoft researchers have come up with a way to better utilize "white space" networks, which would tap into unused TV spectrum to deliver broadband services. In the first version of KNOWS, Microsoft introduced the concept of Time Spectrum Blocks (TSB) as the fundamental unit over which two nodes could communicate. They designed a control-channel based medium access control … [Read more...]

EMI Issues with Power Line Communications Technology Solved
Power line communication (PLC) technology has been difficult to popularize due to skepticism on transmitting IP packets across 110V or 220V power lines as well as how this would address electromagnetic interference. Today, Ethernet adapters using PLC have easy plug-and-play installation onto electrical outlets in any room. This technology comes perfectly at a time when more … [Read more...]
New Stanford Nano Center Keeps EMI at Bay
The power supplies and utilities for the Stanford University’s new nano research center are housed off-site to minimize electromagnetic interference. The center also contains several cleanrooms that are kept free of dust, which could otherwise contaminate nanomaterials. The first floor of the Nano Center has cleanrooms where researchers can work on any element they need for … [Read more...]
iPad 2’s Compass Susceptible to EMI
A number of iPad 2’s parts are in short supply after the Japanese earthquake. One such component, the tablet computer’s compass, cannot be replaced with other units because it is compasses are susceptible to EMI. Also, the iPad 2's compass works in close coordination with the tablet's accelerometer and gyroscope. This makes it impossible to simply replace one manufacturer's … [Read more...]
