Flight Management System Could Easily Run in Smartphone App

 

Concordia researchers Luis Rodrigues and Jesus Villarroel have recently created a mathematical formula that accurately recreates the calculations an FMS makes for a cruising Airbus 320, Phys.org reported. Flight management systems are expensive and not easy to come by, but Rodrigues and Villarroel have created a formula that will be available to pilots, people in the airline … [Read more...]

ISIS Possibly Using Modern Technology for Encryption and Communication

 

According to NBC News, senior European intelligence officials say that France's ability to prevent attacks like last Friday’s is now challenged by ISIS keeping their electronic communications secret. “Officials believe the ISIS ‘geek squad’ is teaching terrorists how to use encryption and communication platforms like Silent Circle, Telegram and WhatsApp,” NBC News … [Read more...]

Tech Tidbit: New System Could Make Space Travel Easier

 

Recently Reaction Engines, a British Company, gained an investment of £20.6 million from BAE Systems and £60 million in grants from the UK Government to support their SABRE system which they say should be ready for testing by 2020. SABRE is a "hybrid system that has the potential to bind aircraft and spacecraft together," according to IEEE Spectrum. And despite the … [Read more...]

Test of New Interference Technology May Help Speed Up Wireless Networks

 

Next year, Nokia Networks will team up with Artemis Networks to test a new technology that will speed up wireless service. According to Re/code, the wireless technology, called pCell, “combines radio signals to create tiny personal cells around individual devices, allowing users to access the wireless network in such a way that performance isn’t degraded." Re/code reports … [Read more...]

New Recommendations for Medical Device Companies Regarding EMC

 

Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released a list of recommendations for medical device companies who want to claim electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of products for premarket submissions. “FDA reviews these types of claims based on the risk of EMC malfunction or degradation of the device under review, and in accordance with industry standards,” Med … [Read more...]

New Lightweight Handheld Spectrum Analyzer

 

Recently, Rohde & Schwarz introduced the R&S Spectrum Rider, a new handheld spectrum analyzer that assists users during RF transmitter installation and maintenance and also supports measurement tasks in RF development labs and in service. It has a high sensitivity of –160 dBm and measurement accuracy of typically 0.5 dB between 10 MHz and 3 GHz. In addition, “the base … [Read more...]

Cellphone and Laptop Covers Reportedly Prevent Radiation

 

A relatively new company, known as SafeSleeve, produces cellphone and laptop covers that reportedly prevent radiation exposure to people. “Their first product was a laptop case, which uses military-grade materials to prevent radiation waves from emitting to the body. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certified their research reducing electromagnetic radiation up to … [Read more...]

‘EM-Sense’ Technology Developed for Smartwatches

 

Recently, Carnegie Mellon University and Disney Research developed a new technology that could allow smartwatches to recognize what objects users are touching. “The technique, called EM-Sense, takes advantage of the body's natural electrical conductivity to detect whether a person is touching an electrical or electromechanical device and, based on the distinctive … [Read more...]

Researchers Investigate Millimeter Band Wave

 

Streaming services, games, cloud storage, as well as web conferencing and remote desktop services cause stress on conventional wireless networks. This creates a huge demand for wireless capacity that cannot be solved with increases to the existing spectrum. “Mobile broadband data demand will grow by a thousandfold between 2010 and 2020," Upamanyu Madhow, a professor in UC … [Read more...]
