#Engineers create smallest FM radio transmitter Columbia University rightoriginal Studyposted by Holly Evarts-Columbia on November 20 2013to build the world s smallest system that can create FM signals
And it s an important first step in advancing wireless signal processing and designing ultrathin efficient cell phones. ur devices are much smaller than any other sources of radio signals
For example Hone explains MEMS sensors figure out how your smartphone or tablet is tilted to rotate the screen.
They used low-frequency musical signals (both pure tones and songs from an iphone) to modulate the 100 MHZ carrier signal from the graphene
While graphene NEMS will not be used to replace conventional radio transmitters they have many applications in wireless signal processing. ue to the continuous shrinking of electrical circuits known as Moore s Law today s cell phones have more computing
In addition most of these components cannot be tuned easily in frequency requiring multiple copies to cover the range of frequencies used for wireless communication. raphene NEMS can address both problems:
and say it could open the door to better batteries for phones cars and other gadgets.
The electrodes worked for about 100 charge-discharge cycles without significantly losing their energy storage capacity. hat s still quite a way from the goal of about 500 cycles for cell phones

#Wireless device grabs lost energy from Wi-fi Using inexpensive materials configured and tuned to capture microwave signals researchers have designed a power harvesting device with efficiency similar to that of modern solar panels.
The device wirelessly converts the microwave signal to direct current voltage capable of recharging a cell phone battery or other small electronic device according to a report appearing in Applied Physics Letters.
or Wi-fi signals the researchers say. The key to the power harvester lies in its application of metamaterials engineered structures that can capture various forms of wave energy and tune them for useful applications.
and recover a Wi-fi signal that would otherwise be lost Katko says. Another application could be to improve the energy efficiency of appliances by wirelessly recovering power that is now lost during use. he properties of metamaterials allow for design flexibility not possible with ordinary devices like antennassays Katko. hen traditional antennas are close to each other in space they talk to each other
The design process used to create our metamaterial array takes these effects into account allowing the cells to work together. ith additional modifications the researchers say the power harvesting metamaterial could potentially be built into a cell phone allowing the phone to recharge wirelessly while not in use.
This feature could in principle allow people living in locations without ready access to a conventional power outlet to harvest energy from a nearby cell phone tower
It can carry the bandwidth to search for mobile phone resonances to locate victims from their mobile phones even
when the phones are turned off or the batteries have no charge remaining. n addition to the applications discussed above such technology could be extended to other radiations such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and light detection and ranging (LIDAR)

Like a radio tuned to different stations cell phone antennas have tuning circuits that quickly switch frequencies

#Wave and Paymobile Phone Payment system Launched in the UK Orange and Samsung have teamed-up with Barclaycard to provide mobile phone payments with the new uick Tappayment technology.
Like the abolition of the £1 note or the introduction of the £2 coin, yesterday was a historic day for British money.
Courtesy of Barclaycard, Orange and Samsung, consumers across the UK can now pay for goods and services with nothing more than a mobile phone.
Yougov research, commissioned by digital payments provider Intelligent Environments, says 42 per cent of smartphone users want to use their phones as mobile wallets.
Owners of the Apple iphone are keenest, but significant proportions of Blackberry and Google phone users want to take advantage of it too.
That not because technology built into mobile phones is the way that everything, from cameras to translators, seems to be going.
It down to the fact that this new mobile-based method is quick simpler and crucially, more secure than anything wee got available at the moment.
Barclaycard has quietly been rolling out so-called ontactlesspayment systems across the UK for several years
With a mobile phone data connection, however, all transactions can be authorised and completed instantly. In due course, transactions over £15 will be permitted
if a pin is entered on the mobile phone. That, too, is more secure than the traditional keypad.
however, is that for now only one phone, one payment provider and one network operator provides this whizzy technology.
Even though the ear-field communicationstechnology is built into a wide and growing number of phones already,
Using an app on the mobile phone, customers can top up their wave and pay account from a connected credit
