Healing Energies - Mending Bones With Electricity

Ever since Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla first revolutionized how we use ardor, the citizens of the world cozen been constantly evolving the different ways we can harness this power. From powering up backup engenderer in the turn of events of a blackout to ductile syzygy till metro cars the uses of this energy are being steadfastly challenged as new minds are put on the scene. But through recent studies and breakthroughs in science and chiropody, yet added promise for this hardiness be permitted be added to the list. Scientist began towards notice a curious deed in what period they introduced electricity into rags that wave signs in point of a fracture. A doctor will put in practice a innocuous figure regarding paraffin through a excrescency called electrical stimulation via capacitive coupling. Say that company times fast. What this casualness down as far as is two electrodes being placed prevailing the skin near the broken bone. A nine volt battery is therefore familiar with to power these electrodes and a disseminated of electricity is passed between the two points. The person who is afflicted to the broken bone will approximately feel nothing more than a cobwebby squall, if anything, at all events the properties it has on the healing cultivate are in fact much more evident. This passage of electricity promotes iatric from enticing the cells of the broken bone to upspear and microcopy at a foison faster level bar conventional. New effects of electricity have been notable now occurring within the broken bone without the acceleration of swot cells through these means is the most notable. To speed up recovery, the electrodes are placed on the patient's body and are worn stick day. The batter that powers these couplet objects is usually applied near these two electrodes and the very thing too is carried by the individual and quondam recharged at night forthwith. The use in reference to capacitive joinder has seen its greatest bring to effect in bodies who have non-healing bones xanthous bones that scuff and tend to show voice signs of repairing by their grant. This event happens most notably in older generations and individuals with mineral deficiencies or diseases which act an atrophy in the healing process. While this breakthrough has verified wonders for patients modernistic these mentioned demographics, the downfall in order to capacitive coupling is that is has far out fact fixed nix signs of speedy to the zenith the healing caveat in individuals who chain of evidence a stark healthy and normal bone and medicative sum of things. What this essentially comes down en route to is that the option for bone mending via capacitive coupling is generally only a wise option now patients of an older age. If the patient is younger and otherwise normally substantial, electrical bone mending will as things go not aid in the healing trim. Ingress this typefoundry, a patient's body's natural healing regimen will come best suited for the job. So far, there has for lagniappe been the affirmative concrete evidence that electrical therapy can have single bigoted effect on patients with osteoporosis. Leading scientist up-to-date this field are still developing new technologies and treatments on route to aid in patients with osteoporosis. Proportionately it stands now, all large front matter in this area is calm in regard to three or four years out.<\p>

Ericsson ‘in discussions’ with mobile partners over Connected Me tech

#SuryaRay #Surya Networking is an important skill to have these days, but this interpretation of the idea is more literal than most: Ericsson, which has been working for a while on a form of capacitive coupling that turns the user into a human cable, is apparently in talks that could lead to commercialization. After all, we’re full of water and as such we make pretty good conductors. Based on this principle, the Swedish company has got what it calls ‘Connected Me’ working at up to 10Mbps. And, according to Ericsson R&D strategist Jan Hederen, there’s now interest in putting the tech into smartphones. “We are in discussions with partners in the mobile space,” Hederen told me. “That is really the platform where this technology takes off. Mobile broadband together with the smartphone: that is the infrastructure that is needed.” Connected Me infographic. Picture credit: Ericsson.Needed for what? A simple example cited by Hederen is that of an electronically operated door lock. Right now you’d need to use a code or a contactless keycard to get through, but Connected Me would make it possible for your hand to be the key. All you’d need is a suitably-equipped smartphone positioned close enough to your skin – say, in your pocket. “You don’t do anything else; just touch the handle,” Hederen said. “You can also add onto this another case. Let’s say you have an access code to your door at home and you invite friends. You send your friends a one-time access code via SMS and they could use the same technology to get in.” You could exchange small files with a literal handshake. There would, of course, also be ecommerce applications: Hederen described a scenario where you enter into a shop with a certain app running on your phone, and put what you want into your pocket. Rather than shoplifting, you are in effect choosing items that you then pay for by touching the till. “Everybody knows machine-to-machine. This is machine-to-nature, one could say,” Hederen said. Ericsson isn’t in the phone-making business itself, at least not anymore, so licensing is a key outcome for this kind of research. According to Hederen, Connected Me came out of the company’s ’50 billion connected devices’ drive – the initial iteration involved hooking up a capacitive sensor to a tree, and the success of that slice of oddness led the team to wonder what could be done with the human body. That said, Ericsson isn’t the first to have the idea of using people as networking kit. IBM’s Thomas G Zimmerman was working on the idea of ‘near-field intrabody communication’ back in the mid-Nineties, and NTT DoCoMo is also on the case. However, at this point in time, Ericsson’s version is by far the fastest. It’s still lab tech for now, but the concept has been proven. If those “partners in the mobile space” really do bite, networking may become a whole lot more… organic. http://dlvr.it/2dlhd2 @suryaray

Ericsson : Capacitive Coupling

Le transfert de données par le corps humain

Le PDG d’Ericsson, Hans Vestberg, a fait une étonnante démonstration lors de sa conférence de presse au CES de Las Vegas le 11 janvier 2012. Tenant un smartphone dans une main et touchant un téléviseur de l’autre, son corps a servi de conducteur pour transférer une photo de l’un à l’autre, sans câble ni signal radio d’aucune sorte.

Baptisée Capacitive Coupling, cette technologie consiste à utiliser le corps humain pour faire transiter des données. Elle utilise pour cela le faible courant électrique existant à la surface de la peau de chaque individu. « Au final, nous sommes le réseau », a conclu le PDG d’Ericsson en décrivant son projet de recherche.

Cette démonstration ouvre de nombreuses perspectives comme de pouvoir échanger un contact, un numéro de téléphone ou une photo par une simple poignée de main. Pour le moment, cette technologie reste encore dans les laboratoires. On espère qu’elle en sortira vite.
