You can pick up an old motorola MOTOACTV for cheap and root it: http://motoactv.wikispaces.com... . I love mine for cycling, and with Augmented smartwatch pro on my phone and sideloading apps through ADB, it will do many things that the latest smartwatches still don't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Of course it will work; this is exactly what an ultrasound transducer does; it converts electrical energy to acoustic energy via mechanical strain in response to said electrical energy, then converts acoustic energy back to electrical energy via mechanical strain when impacted by the returning acoustic bounceback. Well and truly settled issue. The problem is the power loss over distance, as has already been pointed out. So while it will work, it will work poorly, be expensive, and is overly complicated. It is an idea backed by a fundamentally sound theory, but like so many the practical application is unworkable.
If I'm reading this correctly, our post-doc protagonist has created a deep learning algorithm to automate the process of being shallow? I have no words. . .
The drive through at my old credit union had a similar scale hyperloop prototype in about 1985. We never thought of sending anything but deposit slips through it back then. . .
See, I'm golden there because I'm grandfathered into an unlimited plan on Verizon (from way back), but even a booster doesn't cut it for me. Our land line is good at least, but probably because AT&T manages our copper, I think.
We had our chance, actually. At the height of the real estate boom, Foster Enterprises wanted to turn a local 1500 acre cattle ranch - Quail Valley - into an Equestrian community. It's 2 miles from my house and the utilities would have run right by us. All the locals got together and told the county supervisors and Foster not only no but hell no. Turns out we probably did them a favor. We passed on those amenities through that avenue, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't like them. It's the having vs. eating cake problem. I like the lifestyle here, but I need the technology. I understand from a business perspective though why it isn't an attractive proposition for Verizon.
Eventually, perhaps. But read the headline again: "Rural Phone Areas." I live 9 miles from the nearest place I get cell reception. Copper is still the only viable option where I live. It ain't dead yet.
At my home, I'm about 9 miles from anywhere I can get cell reception. The simple truth is that Verizon doesn't care about investing in low population density areas, whether it's cellular or wired connectivity. Why would they? It costs the same to put up a tower in rural areas (neglecting real estate cost), and they recover far fewer customers to offset the cost. The bottom line: Deer don't use 4G. It leaves some of us out in the cold, but the business model makes sense.
The issue isn't the watch or the phone per se, it's the particulate matter generated by the textiles in regular clothing. Cell phones can be brought into the clean room, but they have to be wiped down first. But without pockets, one does tend to set the phone down, or forget to get it out when gowning. The watch is a good "oops I forgot to get my phone out" remedy.
No. To retrieve anything from within your gown, you must step out into the gowning room. To bring anything into the gowning room, it must be wiped with alcohol.
Same as here at my company. You only need gloves if you are touching product at sensitive operations. Otherwise they are optional. Washing with approved soap or alcohol based cleaner before entry is mandatory though.
I work in a cleanroom as you do and have found that my smartwatch is useful for the very reasons you describe. I have a different suggestion though, which is IMO a more versatile and certainly cheaper. Buy a Motorola MotoACTV and root it. What a lot of people don't realize is that the 360 is actually Motorola's second generation watch already. They billed the MotoACTV as a fitness tracker, but it does all the smartwatch type things stock, and then you can install a custom android ROM and run whatever apps you want. I bought mine off ebay for $60, and with a little help from here I got results similar to this. It basically becomes the world's smallest tablet on your wrist, and my gmail and facebook messenger work fine on it. The only issue I have is that they don't support our corporate exchange server email, but if you set up forwarding you can work around that.

Missed the hashtag, but yes. I'm trending towards curmudgeon; I recall when it was only "hash" in unix, and "pound sign" everywhere else. Darn kids.
