In experiments in simulated human cadavers, the researchers demonstrated that they could forge an erratic heartbeat with radio frequency electromagnetic waves. Theoretically, a false signal like the one they created could inhibit needed pacing or induce unnecessary defibrillation shocks.

The researchers emphasise that they know of no case where a hacker has corrupted an implanted cardiac device, and doing so in the real world would be extremely difficult. They stress that people with pacemakers and defibrillators can remain confident in the safety and effectiveness of their implants.

The work and research being carried out at the University of Michigan College of Engineering  hope to make embedded computer systems smarter with better security and safety, reduced energy consumption, and faster performance.

The G-form athletic and consumer electronic extreme products utilize Reactive Protection Technology (RPT), a composite blend of PORON XRD that instantly stiffens upon impact and absorbs over 90 percent of impact kinetic energy, returning to its soft flexible form when the impact has dissipated. 

This state-of-the-art impact protection is lightweight, flexible, low profile and machine washable.

To create a package with the opening and pouring functionality of a bottle while maintaining the environmental and operational efficiency of a carton package, Tetra Pak needed to develop a plastic top which could fuse the bottle opening to a cardboard sleeve whilst ensuring that the liquid was kept safe and secure.

Injection moulding is one of the most common manufacturing processes in the world, used in manufacturing products such as mobile devices, computers, sports equipment and DVDs. In the simplest terms, materials are injected into a mould to produce parts of a product.

It's estimated those connections will yield $14.4 trillion for businesses over the next decade in the Internet of Everything economy. Learn more: http://cs.co/jlbYTioee.

It's hard to put a value on increased connectedness, but when it comes to business, Cisco has done exactly that.

The Signal Snowboard's factory crew, led by Founder Dave Lee give the board presses a rest this month and instead print out a brand new snowboard! Partnering with eco-friendly 3D printing company GROWit, based in Lake Forest, CA, the printed board was constructed on GROWit's custom-built plastic laser sintering machine in carbonGRO 640.

“More industries are testing the limits of laser sintered parts for functioning applications that go beyond prototyping and development”, said GROWit Founder/CEO, David Gurrola. “CarbonGRO 640 seemed the best fit for this project, and everyone was really pleased at how well the snowboard performed.”

CarbonGRO 640 is one of the best materials available today for lightweight, stable materials that can withstand extreme temperatures.

Regardless of where its manufacturing plants are located, ABB's manufacturing methods and processes follow the same exacting standards. Together with careful training of its staff, this ensures that customers receive the same high quality products all around the world - Made in ABB.

Now the firms and individuals, who helped to shape a lifelong legacy in aid of the 2012 Games, many of which were unsung heroes, have been celebrated in a short film aptly named Designing for Champions.

The goal is to use the strength of the legs and torso to help power motions of the arm.

This sort of dynamic, whole-body approach to manipulation is used routinely by human athletes and will enhance the performance of advanced robots. Boston Dynamics is developing the control and actuation techniques needed for dynamic manipulation.

The cinderblock weighs around 35lbs and the best throw is a bit more than 17ft.

The research is funded by the Army Research Laboratory's RCTA program (Robotics Collaborative Technology Alliance).
