Wireless Electricity’s influence will have global implications on humanity. In modern times and a world that continually demands more and more mobility and accessibility, the trend of wireless technology has spread like wildfire. Progressively, it has been spreading to the field of power transfer as well. When you combine the two, power transfer and wireless: Welcome to the world of wireless power transfer. This concept of wireless power has been fantasized, flirted upon, and re-flirted upon for several decades now in hopes to create a world with self-sustaining-like, mobile, and highly personalized electronics. Advantages and disadvantages exist on both the use and nonuse of this new technology, leaving us with many issues to consider. As our society’s technological needs and wants become more mobile and accessible, so has the need and want of transferring power wirelessly. Wireless power transfer (WPT), is a way to deliver power from a source to another device without having to use wires or contacts.
There has been a definite growth in the use of portable electronic devices. This growth has led to an increased need in the market for wireless power transfer devices. Imagine living in a house where you had no need to plug any cord into an outlet to make an appliance or device work. This would be beneficial for both the electrical systems of a house as well as to the members of that household. There would be no cords to trip over. This would also eliminate single outlets being overused and fuses being blown due to the surge of power required for one outlet. On a personal note, I think it would change my life greatly not having to use a cord to plug in my laptop to finish my homework. Now that would be awesome! Would you continue ...

Cardiac monitoring has been available since the early 1960s (Henriques-Forsythe, Ivonye, Jamched, Kamuguisha, Olejeme & Onwuanyi, 2009). George, Walsh-Irwin, Queen, Vander Heuvel, Hawkins, & Roberts (2015) explain, “Remote telemetry monitoring is the monitoring of cardiac rhythms of acute care inpatients from a central locate by personnel who are not directly involved with patient care” (p. 11). Researchers and authors published a multitude of articles, best practices, and standards for hospital monitoring (Drew, 2004, Funk, 2010). A basic internet query reveals injuries and deaths related to remote telemetry monitoring. Guidelines, best practices, and research provide the best evidence in the delivery of safe quality care
In the early 1950s, the first ever amazing invention of an external cardiac Pacemaker was developed by Dr. John Hopps. It was large (about 30 cm long, and several centimetres high and wide), the pulses were generated by vacuum tubes and the entire unit was powered by 60 Hz household current.(The Pacemaker) Hopps was an electric engineer appointed by the National Research Council of Canada in 1941 after training at the University of Manitoba as an electrical engineer. Pacemakers helped with the pumping of blood by sending electric signals but it occupied too much space. John Hopps was recognized as “The Father of Biomedical Engineering”. "The financial cost of the pacemaker was minimal" which made the pacemaker even popular and appealing as a weapon to treat problems in rhythm of the heart. (Drew)
Do you feel like having power is easy as turning on a light switch to to plugging an appliance into the wall maybe you do but after reading this your opinion might change.This research paper will discuss the idea of barehanding and how to work on energized power lines.
Technology is advancing greatly every day and whether we like it or not, it is here to stay, so we need to use it to our advantage. Technology is especially helpful in health care as healthcare is very fast pace and stressful. IV smart pumps were introduced years ago and have been very successful in many facilities across the country. Although there are many “brands” of IV smart pumps, they are all generally the same and have at least one thing in common; they decrease the workload of healthcare providers. With anything there are benefits, as well as cons of using these pumps which we will discuss.

Alternative energy sources are renewable, and is most commonly referred to as free energy sources. There are many alternative energy sources such as hydro power, solar power, wind, biomass, and geothermal. Using alternative sources is more expensive in the long run, but it is the much safer option for our environment compared to fossil fuels. Although everything used is completely free, such as water and wind, the equipment used to generate these things are expensive. There are several pros and cons that come with the utilization of alternative energy sources.
Electricity and electrical components are a major part of our lives today. Our lives pretty much come to a halt if there is a power outage or if our electrical devices stop working, sometimes we even start panicking because we are so dependent on these components that we cannot afford to lose them and their importance and use only increases as time passes. We all use these electrical devices and also electricity itself but most of us do not think about the math and physics that works behind all of these things.

During today’s time period, technology have been evolving at an exponential rate. The BrainGate technology have advance greatly since the time it was invented. This brain computer can now be used by strapping a transmitter to the patient’s head and wired electrodes into the skull would their thought command to be delivered wirelessly as fast as a home internet connection. Arto Nurmikko, the professor who led the creation of this wireless system states “the device transmits data out of the brain at rate of 48 megabits per second (Regalado, 1, 2015)” and use only a fraction of power of what a smartphone would use. The BrainGate have not meet its full potential, even though the implant is able to transmit a large amount of data a day, it is not much compared to what the human brain can generate by performing a simple movement. According to this article, the BrainGate will never be used in actual medicine, until it is further developed and becomes for reliable; the head module is just the
As you can see for the most part, people are connecting to wireless from the moment they leave their home till they get to work and then back. Wireless communication definitely provides an advantage over wired networks due to its mobility, allowing users to connect from virtually anywhere.
