Dr. Carsten Lennerz, cardiology resident in Germany, presented results of a study on Monday at the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) Eurospace Cardiostim. “Pacemakers can mistakenly detect electromagnetic interference (EMI) from smartphones as a cardiac signal, causing them to briefly stop working. This leads to a pause in the cardiac rhythm of the pacing dependent … [Read more...]
Military Radio Frequencies May Interfere with Garage Door Openers
Remote-control garage door openers near the Blue Grass Army Depot in Richmond K.Y. may stop working due to military radio systems switching to a new frequency range. The U.S. military will switch all land mobile radios (LMRs) to new frequencies, which are also the same frequencies used by certain unlicensed consumer devices, like garage door openers. These frequencies have … [Read more...]
Radio Interference May Cause Malfunction in Amtrak’s New Anti-crash System
Amtrak is working on an anti-crash system to prevent high-speed derailments, like the fatal derailment in Philadelphia P.A. last month that killed eight passengers, injured hundreds and caused more than $9.2 million worth of damages. However, the anti-crash system may malfunction near freight railroads. Radio interference from freight rails may disable Amtrak’s anti-crash … [Read more...]
Fluid Operated Computer uses Electromagnetic Fields to Perform Operations
A group of engineers from Stanford University have produced the first ever water operated computer. The computer uses electromagnetic fields to pump water droplets impregnated with magnetic nanoparticles into gates to perform complex logical operations. Manu Prakash, a Stanford assistant professor, spent almost an entire decade thinking about the possibility of a … [Read more...]
