   I am skeptical of the claimed safety of uBeam. The FDA does not advocate the safety of ultrasound. From the article: "Was it safe? Well … for starters it is just an inaudible soundwave being transferred – as in the kind also used for w

   I should also mention I am jailbroken 7.1.2, flux is required and nospot, cccontrols and appcake are incredibly useful.

    Voyager is only traveling at 17km/s because of orbital maneuvers. These thrusters would probably not be used for delta-v. However, they would be great for reliable attitude control. Currently attitude is controlled with reaction wheels

    Scaring probably caused the microelectrode array(MEA) to fail. There is significant research going into MEAs and they are becoming much more viable for long term in vivo use.

    I doubt they would have removed the Microelectrode arrays from the brain, that would have caused serious damage as the MEAs would be encapsulated in glial scar tissue. The article made it sound like they just removed the two jacks from his

    This would be prohibitively large to implant in the brain. Betavoltaics could provide a novel power source, I believe they are used in some pacemakers. RF would be a problem because cancer. People forget that magnetic induction can also be

    The article says he had two microelectrode arrays(MEA) implanted, one jack per array, The MEA was probably a standard Utah MEA, 10x10 multiplexed to 100 electrodes, so, just 20 leads per array per "data port"

    Ive done quite a bit of research on this recently. The device is a microelectrode array (MEA), Id hazard a guess that it started failing after 8 weeks because of glial scaring that isolates the device from the nervous tissue. For those inte
