Human thermal loading by exposure to emissions from a microwave oven (Symposium summary)

Prucha RV · 1976

Researchers exposed full-scale phantom models of a two-year child and a woman to emissions from a forced leak in a microwave oven operating at 915 MHz. Thermographic analysis provided data on specific absorption rate and heating patterns, which were related to the defined leakage source intensity. These data were used for heat input and temperature rise calculations in thermal models of humans, including both worst-case and typical-case scenarios based on movement patterns. Results were compared with other heating means such as metabolic rate changes, sunlight exposure, and medical diathermy practice. The findings indicated that current microwave oven emission standards are very conservative.

GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF NEONATAL MICE EXPOSED TO HIGH-FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS

William B. Stavinoha et al. · 1975

The second study used 40-minute daily exposures for 5 days at 19 MHz with an H-field of 55 amps/meter and an E-field of 8000 volts/meter. Growth was tracked daily for 21 days and then weekly for 16 weeks, and no statistically significant differences were found between exposed and control groups.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PACEMAKER MONITOR WITH CARDIAC SIMULATOR

Terry O. Steiner · 1975

The system provides continuous monitoring of pacemaker output and simulates normal cardiac activity at the pacemaker leads using fiber optics for electrical isolation. The monitor presents a resistive load of approximately 1000 ohms that drops to about 500 ohms when the LED fires during a pacemaker pulse. The entire system was successfully tested at 26.6 MHz and near RF emitters from 200 to 3000 MHz, and the simulator addition did not affect the pacemaker threshold.

The Distribution of Heating Potential Inside Lossy Spheres

Kritikos JN, Schwan HP · 1975

Researchers modeled heating potential in a lossy sphere with brain-tissue electrical properties across 10 MHz to 12 GHz. Hot spots appeared inside the sphere only for radii between 0.1 cm and 8 cm and frequencies between 300 MHz and 12,000 MHz. The heating potential was always non-uniform, and when maximized inside the sphere it exceeded plane-slab estimates by about a factor of ten. In the quasi-physical optics region the hot spot forms a ring slightly behind the sphere's center. In the resonance region the hot spot collapses to a point on the front half of the axis.

TRANSISTOR COLLECTOR BREAKDOWN IN THE PRESENCE OF CONDUCTED EMP AND GAMMA RADIATION

D. H. Rice · 1975

The model showed that common emitter breakdown voltage is reduced, latch voltage remains unchanged, and negative resistance characteristics are altered. Experimental results showed good agreement between predicted and observed circuit responses when transistors were exposed to rising collector voltage from EMP and simultaneous gamma radiation. In tests with 25-volt transistors, breakdown and latch occurred at 15.5 volts collector supply with a gamma pulse of 5 X 10' rads/sec.

EVIDENCE FOR COLLECTIVE MAGNETIC EFFECTS IN AN ENZYME – LIKELIHOOD OF ROOM TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTIVE REGIONS

N.A.G. AHMED, J.H. CALDERWOOD, H. FRÖHLICH, C.W. SMITH · 1975

The team measured the magnetic susceptibility of lysozyme solutions while varying the applied magnetic field. At 600 gauss, a 0.011% weight solution showed an increment in diamagnetic susceptibility of order 1.5 × 10^-10, which per molecule was 10^4 times larger than expected for ordinary diamagnetic material. The increase in susceptibility disappeared above a critical field of about 800 gauss. A 0.1% solution showed only slightly higher susceptibility than the 0.011% solution, and humid enzyme powder showed maximum effect at about 50% water content.
