Microsoft’s Gates Files for EM Patent
Microsoft’s Bill Gates is one of the principal applicants on a patent published last week by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The concept underlying this hybrid engine is not software; the device is essentially an electromagnetic combustion engine. Ostensibly, the engine’s mechanical force, created by traditional combustion, would be converted into electrical or … [Read more...]
Bypassing Interference Opportunistically
European researchers working on a project funded under the ICT (Information and Communications Technology) strand of the European Union’s Sixth Framework Programme have developed ORACLE (Opportunistic Radio Communications in unlicensed Environments) that would make handsets actively manage how and when they access a network. This pioneering approach promises to minimize … [Read more...]
A Real-life Story
The Sharp (and Painful) Relationship between Market and Economic Trends and One’s Engineering Field of Expertise and Career Choices In this month’s column I have chosen to bring up a real-life story received from one of our readers (name withheld).

Participation and Input Sought
The IEEE Southeastern Michigan EMC Society is exploring the idea of holding “Automotive EMC Lab Best Practices” workshops. This plan is based on the premise that every lab uses various tips, tricks, custom software, and custom-built devices that help to speed up or otherwise improve EMC testing. Possible lines of thought include the “real story” on calibration, experiences with … [Read more...]
