  • It is the outcome of a three year long development process in the Skype labs, which focused on four things: improving audio bandwidth going from 8 KHz to 12 KHz, meaning that a SILK conversation sounds like you are in the same room as the person you are speaking with providing real-time bandwidth scalability to deal with degraded network conditions balancing codec optimization between voice, music and background noise, each of which can have an impact on the overall user experience delivering a robust solution that delivers a more consistent audio experience, regardless of network conditions and an individual user's voice signature

  • The Tesla coil does not burn by radiative heating as the sun does, but radio frequency current can also cause tissue damage without significant pain, and the Tesla coil in question generates an RF signal at 500 KHz, just below the AM radio band.

  • This review summarizes pain thresholds for men and women in response to RF contact in the frequency range of interest here 500 KHz.

  • That is, it requires greater currents to cause pain at higher frequencies, and the curve asymptotes around 100 KHz, well below the 500 KHz frequency of the BDA10A.

  • The primary runs at its resonant frequency in the 41 KHz range, and is modulated from the control unit in order to generate the tones you hear.

    Boing Boing 2007

  • The clock rate of the 10-series is slower than the 41 in order to save power and and all are in the 100 KHz range which was slow even in its day (which was typically 2-6 MHz (20-60x); compare than with 2-6 GHz today - 1000x).

    The Best Calculator Ever Julianne 2008

  • The link that JS found did not say that frequencies above 10kHz were unattainable, but said "The frequency response of piezoelectric speakers is similar to small geometry moving coil speakers up to ~10 KHz bandwidth."

  • Another advantage Kleer has over Bluetooth is that it transmits lossless 16-bit, 44KHz-sampled digital audio, the same quality that is recorded on a CD.
