...should equip the future student's room with the capability to carry voice and video signals--from the highest tech room to the average dorm room--five years down the road," said Hall, citing cable as a means, to transmit audio, visual, textual and computer data information...
Like many U.S. firms that transmit pay-TV programs to home microwave antennas, Premier Communications Network in the San Francisco area has a serious problem. For a monthly fee of $21.95, the company lends the receivers that allow TV sets to pick up its high-frequency, over-the-air signals. But people can buy similar equipment in electronics shops for about $100 to watch the programs free of charge...
...more than ten years, television weathermen have been displaying satellite maps of low pressures, high pressures, twisters and tempests, sometimes impressing their audiences with the scientific predictability of their forecasts. But the geostationary operational environmental satellites (GOES), which transmit the images for those maps, have been highly unpredictable: of the six GOES launched since 1975, five are not functioning properly. The $70 million GOES 5, sent up in 1981 to cover the East Coast and the Atlantic Ocean for at least five years, became the latest casualty last week when it went blind, just before the peak of the hurricane...
...most of the electronic pagers clipped to the belts of some 4 million Americans have a range of only 50 miles or so. But long-distance beeps carried by satellite and microwave are coming soon. Last week the Federal Communications Commission chose three companies that will be allowed to transmit electronic messages anywhere in the U.S. The three are expected to offer the service in at least 15 cities as early as September 1985. The fee for receiving cross-country beeps is expected to be about $8 a month, or twice the local rate...
...just such clumsy occasions. Among these chemicals are the mysterious substance P (for pain), prostaglandins and bradykinin, probably the most painful substance known to man-just a tiny amount inserted under the skin with a needle causes excruciating pain. These substances sensitize the nerve endings and help transmit the pain message from the injured region toward the brain. Prostaglandins also increase circulation to the damaged area, causing the swelling and redness known as inflammation. The purpose of this is to attract infection-fighting blood cells that will ward off any invading bacteria. Since the days of Hippocrates, doctors have been...
