This doesn't make sense.

The AirSense 10 is already BiPAP, or at least is to any user who is on the CPAP forums and has learnt how to set the pressure relief setting via the clinicians menu.

What idiot wrote this?

This has no connection to Amateur radio.

The receiver is monitoring commercial two-way frequencies (not Ham radio bands), and there is no indication that the owner is a Ham, or is rebroadcasting the information on the Ham bands.

> Supposedly there's a trick to it involving resonance,

There is no magic in Resonant Power Transfer.
It is still limited by the Inverse-Square Law.
eg is inefficient and limited to very short range.

Maxwell did the maths a long time ago.

The laws of physics say "utter rubbish" to this.

Once outside the Near-Field zone, magnetic transfer doesn't work, and the range of Eletromagnetic transfer is limited by the Inverse-D-Squared law.

There is no such thing as a free lunch

But a simple Band-Pass Filter will block the unwanted microwaves while allowing the antenna to be on the outside of the shield.

> in these situations the resistance produces power rather than consuming it, resulting in a "negative resistance.

Rubbish.
Lots of devices exhibit negative resistance, but they don't produce any power.

> It also could be important for understanding why up to 10 percent of people are born with sinus inversus,

I think there's a decimal point missing... (should be 0.01% ?)

Wickipedia says:

"Situs inversus is found in about 0.01%[1] of the population, or about 1 person in 10,000".

The article stated that the micro-sats would be released at a high altitude, where they would accelerate to orbit.

Clearly the micro-sats would need their own propulsion, but that would be much less that would be required from ground level.

I've been using computers since the late '70's. Am an Embedded hardware and software Engineer.

Each time I build a new PC, I install Linux and give it a try. But every time there's a show stopper.
Mostly unable to run my Engineering programs, PCB design, etc.

But also a vague feeling that it was written by amateurs.
Poor documentation, configuration files scattered everywhere, childish images and colour schemes.
Inconsistencies with the GUI.

Whatever, I'm certainly no fan of Windows. I keep hoping that something like BeOs/Haiku will come along..

> The amateur radio community can only communicate with them if the frequencies are public

Obviously I was talking about Amateurs communicating with Amateur satellites.

And likewise Commercial entities communicating with Commercial satellites.

What is your point? We still don't know if anyone is communicating with them.

This whole story doesn't make sense. The question is "can they communicate?".

The Amateur Radio Community routinely communicate with clusters of satellites,
it doesn't matter that there are a bunch of them in essentially the same orbit.
The antennas used have a fairly wide beam-width, so accurate pointing is not necessary.

However over time the bunch spreads out, so it becomes easier to identify individual satellites.

And if the satellites were not intended to communicate, what are they used for?

People are making a fuss out of nothing..

Since day one, if you wanted to use radio equipment it had to be Compliant.
And if you modified it, it was no longer Compliant.

So if you want to modify compliant equipment, it is up to you to have it re-certified.

Unless you are a licensed Radio Amateur. Then you can self-certify the continuing Compliance of your Ham gear.

As a Licensed Radio Amateur you should know that even a Receiving device can generate spurious products if you mess with the firmware.

And no, a Router is not a receiving device.

This report seems to be rather misleading. We know that nerves (eg synaps) can communicate by low frequencies (eg DC and VLF), so cutting the brain matter, then re-joining it should still allow conduction. No surprise there.

No, it is Low Frequency (eg DC) currents in the brain, not RF (Radio Frequency) currents induced from outside.
It has been long known that nerves can only respond to quite low frequencies (eg audio).
