Detecting early-stage malarial infection – New prototype device recognizes electrical properties of infected cells as signatures of disease

August 22, 2013

(CAMBRIDGE, MA) — Researchers at MIT have found a way to detect early-stage malarial infection of blood cells by measuring changes in the infected cells’ electrical properties.

The scientists, from the laboratories of MIT’s Anantha Chandrakasan and Subra Suresh — who is now president of Carnegie Mellon University — have built an experimental microfluidic device that takes a drop of blood and streams it across an electrode that measures a signal differentiating infected cells from uninfected cells. The work, published Aug. 8 in the journal Read More → "Detecting early-stage malarial infection – New prototype device recognizes electrical properties of infected cells as signatures of disease"

connectBlue® Adds WLAN Channels for Full Dual-band Coverage

August 21, 2013

connectBlue® today revealed that its embedded Wireless LAN (WLAN) modules have expanded its frequency channel range to fully cover both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz ISM bands. The extended channel range makes it easier for customers to use the modules according to local market preferences in order to plan for a robust and interference-free wireless connection.

Most WLAN devices have traditionally used the unlicensed 2.4GHz industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) radio band. However, several more wireless technologies – such as Bluetooth, ZigBee, Wireless HART – also use the 2.4GHz band, so the unlicensed 5GHz band offers a less … Read More → "connectBlue® Adds WLAN Channels for Full Dual-band Coverage"
