About RF Cafe
Copyright: 1996 - 2024 BSEE - KB3UON RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while typing up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...

Research has shown that as you age, the minor correction signals sent to your brain to counter tipping are often significantly reduced, causing the characteristic swaying or even falling over. Just as the receivers of yore used a kind of "tickler voltage," often random noise, to peak its sensitivity to a small signal, specially designed soles are being developed that increase the sensitivity of the brain to minute corrective foot movements. The technical term is stochastic resonance. These soles have hundreds of vibrators that, when tuned to the wearer's natural foot movement frequency, can usually eliminate the problem. They should be in stores by the middle of the decade. |
