No More Privacy-Science's Latest Watchdog Sees Around Corners, Through Thick Walls
New York—(UP)—Science has turned up now with an electronic "watch dog."
It is a machine called a "micro-wave unit," and combines the characteristics of both the electric eye and radar. It can "see" through walls and around corners.
The practical applications of this device, which "sees" by means of high-frequency radio waves are many, its inventors say.
For instance, the machine, operating on ordinary house current, can throw a beam through a door or around a corner. If an intruder gets in the way of that beam, he causes a warning bell to ring.
It is even possible that the machine may be used as an automatic garage door opener. That would be fine for the motorist who hates to get out into the weather to open the garage doors. By the same principle, it could close the doors.
Applications of the machine are limited only by the ingenuity of the engineer and the needs of industry, according to W. C. White, electronics engineer at the General Electric Co.
White said the device operates through use of a reflector, focusing the microwaves in a beam and reflecting them from objects, similar to the way that radar impulses and a beam of light are reflected. The beams may be made to pass through a brick wall and can be directed around a corner by means of a hollow metallic pipe.
For receiving the radiated beams, a silicon crystal detects the microwave beam, and the resulting output can be made to indicate on a meter the radio field intensity, or to operate a relay which in turn rings a bell or activates some other device.
The machine resembles a large flashlight. It weighs only four pounds. The entire units, comprising tube, circuit, transformer, antenna and reflector, can be held in one hand.
The units are being used for demonstration purposes in schools and colleges, according to White. There they are being used for teaching fundamental characteristics of radio and light waves.
White points out that the unit, as a classroom educational device, has many advantages. One is that the convenient length of the microwaves makes them suitable for study in the classroom. Another is that it can be operated on ordinary house current. The machine convents this current into electromagnetic waves of about five inches in length.
A giant sequoia tree lived to be about 1,335 years old on the west coast of the U. S., says the Encyclopedia Britannica.
