Radio Frequency Devices: Are They Harmless, or are We Playing With Fire?

Microwaves have long been known to cause damage to body tissues when used at amplified power levels.  The noticeable damage caused at those exposure levels is basically heat-related, causing toasted skin syndrome, with "possible" links to tumors due to fragmented DNA, mutated cells, and cancers. It has also been speculated that even lower power microwaves can possibly impact the central nervous system, causing symptoms of dizziness, confusion, and memory issues.  The American neuroscientist, Allan Frey, who first noted in 1961 what...

Fly Me to the Moon….with the Least Amount of Interference Possible!

NASA has announced that its next moonshot will be a joint public-private project called Next Space Technologies for Exploration Project (NextSTEP).  Eleven United States companies are being asked for help in designing the spacecraft systems that will facilitate the successful completion of this project. This project will culminate with the first woman and next man to walk on the moon arriving there in 2024.  A portion of their work will be funded by NASA, and the companies will be expected...

Rack Systems protect your Server's Data!

Want to Protect Your Server System AND Cut Down on all the “Noise” in the Server Room? Put your Server in a Rack Cover!

When a company needs to protect its sensitive digital information, they improve their digital security by incorporating firewalls and virus scan programs into their network servers.  This is smart practice by the network administrators, but today's criminal is always developing new techniques to steal digital information.  By eavesdropping on the wireless signal of the servers, a "digital criminal" can access a company's most sensitive information. You store a lot of sensitive information in your Server or Blades.  How are you going...

5G-Growing by Leaps and Bounds with Microwave Technology

5G, that's the short name for 5G NR (Fifth Generation New Radio) technology that you've been hearing so much about for the last couple of years.  5G is the next generation of internet connectivity that is supposed to be faster than the current 4G technology, which was initially touted to give a speed of 300 Mbps , and really turned out to be about 100Mbps when implemented.  5G promises speeds of 1.4 Gbps, though the actual final speed remains to...

RFID-It’s Not Just for Inventory Management Anymore!

RFID has been around since the end of World War II.  One of the early uses of RFID was for inventory management.  The inventory was accomplished by scanning the RFID Tag, the inventory was sent to the computer, logging in the presence of the item in the available inventory. There are two different forms of RFID Tags, each based on how the information from the RFID Tag is transmitted to the scanner.  A "passive RFID Tag" means that the tag is...
RF Shielded Garments Block RF Radiation!

Our Metalized Textiles are used in Making “Healthy Clothing” as well as “Smart Clothing”!

Most of the time, I use this forum to write about the uses of V Technical Textiles, Inc.'s metalized textiles in reference to manufacturing and shielding concerns about RF and EMI interference generated by electronic products.  Our shielding material helps to mitigate RF/EM interference by blocking its transmission into the tight environment of electronic products to abate the interference that they produce and, at the same time, stop the RF and EM interference produced by the neighboring components from interfering...

Minimizing UV and RF Radiation Exposure, A Great Idea for Either End of the EMR Spectrum

UV Radiation When I was a child fifty-five years ago, my mother often encouraged us to go outside and "get a nice healthy suntan".  As time went on, we took it a step further and used tanning beds, as they provided the necessary UVA and UVB to get the tan.  Along the way, we also learned that there is an element of truth about being exposed to the sun being healthy for us.  Limited exposure to the sun gives the positive effects...
