My second biggestStar Trekfantasy ? Being able to tap a badge to communicate . Silly , but not to a Finnish society who is ameliorate on Star Trek design and my fancy with whippy , fabric communicator toting build - in GPS to kick .
Over the last year and a half , Patria Aviation Oyhas worked on develop a compromising - yet - long-lasting , operational - yet - adaptable aerial . The best part ? Based on a successful call to the “ Netherlands from their headquarters in Finland by using the prototype feeler , ” they ’ve succeeded .
How do they wreak ? Apparently the flexible antennas link “ to Iridium orbiter ( whose low - height operation do not necessitate orotund antennas ) ” for extroverted calls . As it stands , they ca n’t take incoming outcry . This leaves me a chip scotch , since if I ’d only want to call masses with other while communicators , if I had one . Also a bit confusing is precisely where the factual earpiece and GPS helping of this gadget is kept ( the patch is only the transmitting aerial , after all ) .
away from those peculiarity , these flexible antennas vocalize fantastic : They ’re supposedly able to “ defend a strong radio signaling , even when the eyepatch is bent vertically , horizontally or diagonally ” and “ send location information to a distant user ” ( gravid because a twist in your pocket or wherever might have hassle sending a GPS signal ) . All that seems to be missing is the alternative to get broadcast up .
And in case you ’re wonder : no , I wo n’t share my turn one Star Trek phantasy ( though you ’re destitute to guess ) . [ internet WorldviaSlashdotviaPopSci ]
