The Performance of Six Pulse Oximeters in the Environment of Neuronavigation
[…] oximeters for signal quality (P < 0.001) and saturation recognition (P < 0.001), and for the response to shielding methods (P < 0.001). Coverage of the probes with aluminum foil resulted an in undisturbed saturation recognition in all subjects with almost all monitors. CONCLUSIONS: Infrared pulse waves from neurosurgical navigation equipment may interfere with pulse oximeter measurements. Shielding the probe with aluminum foil sufficiently eliminated the infrared interference. read

Visualizing Atomic-Scale Acoustic Waves In Nanostructures
Acoustic waves play many everyday roles - from communication between people to ultrasound imaging. Now the highest frequency acoustic waves in materials, with nearly atomic-scale wavelengths, promise to be useful probes of nanostructures such as LED lights. However, detecting them isn't so easy. read

Monitoring of people and workers exposure to the electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields in an Italian national cancer Institute
[…] carried out in the departments of: intensive care, physiotherapy, MR presstherapy and in the surgical rooms. The measurements have been performed using broad band probes in the frequency ranges 5 Hz30 kHz and 100 kHz-3 GHz. Results: The variability of the magnetic induction (B(uT)) levels is between 0,05 uT and 80 uT. The statistical distribution shows that most of the measurements are in the range 0,05
