Tests Help Ensure Reliable Wireless Alarm Beacons for First Responders

 

Tests at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are helping to ensure that alarm beacons for firefighters and other emergency responders will operate reliably in the presence of other wireless devices.PASS devices sense movement and activate an alarm if a firefighter remains motionless for too long. Newer Personal Alert Safety Systems (PASS) systems also have … [Read more...]

New Wireless Network Standard Fills in the White Space

 

The wireless spectrum was carved up in the mid-20th century with protection of commercial radio and television signals as its primary concern. One example of this was the practice of leaving “white space” between broadcast channels to prevent interference by analog signals crowded too close together. Especially since the dawn of the digital age, technology has gotten better and … [Read more...]

Navy Tests Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System

 

The Navy recently launched F-35C test aircraft CF-3 with its new electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS).Testing the F-35C on EMALS provided an early opportunity to evaluate technical risks and began the process to integrate the carrier variant Joint Strike Fighter with the future carrier fleet aircraft launching system.This summer, the F-35C test team completed more … [Read more...]

Electromagnetic Fields Control Tumor Growth

 

New evidence by University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers that specific electromagnetic fields can safely block the proliferation of cancer cells and tumor growth may help refine a new, targeted therapy without any collateral damage.Very low levels of amplitude-modulated radiofrequency electromagnetic fields block cancer-cell growth in a tumor- and tissue-specific … [Read more...]

Wireless Car Charged by Electromagnetic Induction Floor Pad

 

Nissan has developed a wireless charging pad that recharges the battery simply by parking the vehicle on top of a ground transmission unit.The Nissan wireless charger works by electromagnetic induction; electricity is drawn from the recharging coil in a housing mounted on a garage floor and into contacts inside the vehicle.Researchers in Korea reportedly are even working on an … [Read more...]
