There was still a limited range, like 100 feet or less, I don't remember the protocol, so it would really only be an issue if you were hanging out with lots of people with the same version of the hand.
I recently sat through a Touch Bionics seminar and, at least for the newer devices, all you need to do is enter the "serial number" of the hand into the app and it can control it. We even joked about how easy it was, so friends with prosthetic hands could prank each other by entering their friend's serial number into their own app and controlling their friend's hand.
This may just apply to new devices though, maybe in response to problems like this?
I have used this software before.
You need to register as a "developer" to get access to the source code. Also, I'm pretty sure I recall that it used the MIT license (I think this was it), one that can be forked for profit, which struck me as dangerous as the software it is somewhat attempting to replicate, Simm, was originally made by the same principal investigator and was free until they spun off a company to develop it and now is something like $20,000 a year for an education license . . . .
The device wires in series with your car's antenna (a male and a female plug on the device) so that it doesn't have to send the signal wirelessly. Also, when the device is turned on it blocks the antenna for a large band of frequencies around the transmission frequency so there is NO interference. I'm having some slight gain problems, but it works so much better than those wireless transmitters. You need to wire it in to your car's 12 V and ground but I just picked up a cigarette lighter plug with power switch from Radio Shack and wired it to the device. As such, I ended up having to do no hardware modifications to the car, just get behind the deck to hook up the antenna jacks.
We use a device like the Infinite Horizon Impactor or the NYU Impactor. The vertebrae is exposed and a small section of bone is removed to allow access for the small tip of the impactor. Then a know force/displacement is applied to the cord and the rat is sewn up. There are then a number of measures to assess recovery. Rats recover MUCH fast than humans, becoming almost normal in 2-8 weeks for most levels of thorasic contusion (incomplete) injury. This makes them easier to get a real amount of research done during the course of a study.
2. How much for additional memory cards? Check Frys. It appears to take a standard card (Apple's website refers to buying a card for it to upgrade the storage), but I'm not sure which one.
If you follow links long enough it mentions that it uses mini-SD cards

If you look deep in the specs, it uses a mini-SD card
