The specific circuit and measured results of some key modules in transmitter are presented, and some outdoor experimental tests have been carried out, which shows that the completed prototype of transmitter can generate a continuous sine current with frequency up to 35.33 k Hz, peak-to-peak amplitude up to 40 A, and realize a reliable transmitting mode with multi-frequency and high-current. The transmitter has a wide operating band, large magnetic moment and high waveform fidelity, and can meet the requirements of shallow geological exploration with high-resolution.展开更多

While this association has worked well, the mixture of biology and technology can create risks to normal embryo development. Recently a significant amount of literature has explored the risks of manmade, electrically induced magnetic fields and carrier waves on reproduction, which some studies have suggested will lower functional gamete numbers in the males and potentially induce genetic issues in embryos. However, little is known about these phenomena within the ART laboratory, a laboratory filled with electronic equipment. The object of the present study was to explore the potential exposure of gametes and early stage embryos to two of the most prevalent fields and waves utilized in manmade technologies seen in the general environment, electromagnetic fields (EMF) and radio frequency waves (RF), and determine the effect varying levels of these energetic forces had on gamete function and embryo development. Results indicated that while extremely high concentrations of EMF (approximately 50-100X of laboratory background) caused negative outcomes in both gametes and embryos, levels consistent will the majority of lab equipment did not appear to impact growth, or function. Further, even extremely high RF appeared to have no impact cellular function. Results suggest few issues with EMF or RF on gamete and embryo function at normal laboratory levels for the relatively short exposure times seen in the ART laboratory.展开更多
