Radioactive seeds emit low-energy gamma rays (which are like x-rays) and low energy beta particles (which are like electrons). However, the titanium shell of the seed filters out nearly all the emitted radiation except that which is desirable for the treatment of cancer. What the seed ultimately emits is predominantly a low-energy gamma ray that is a very weak type of x-ray.

The levels of microwave and ELF emitted from cell phones into the heads of users are millions of times above the levels of corresponding, naturally occurring background EMFs. Furthermore, the emissions from cell phones are totally different in their structure from natural background EMFs. Cell phones emit constant bursts of microwave and constant pulses of ELF; fields in nature have totally random properties. See similar questions...

When your name reaches the top of the list, we schedule your procedure in the first available opening. If you cannot fill that opening, your name is moved to the bottom of the list, unless we have given you less than seven days notice. If we are unsuccessful in reaching you (within 24 hours), your name will be moved to the bottom of the list. Please call our office for a complete list of our Standby Program requirements.

The "Standby" button shuts down the front panel LEDs and disconnects communication between the cable modem and the computer(s) connected through the cable modem, while remaining active on the cable operator's RF network. This provides a means of security to the user by "disconnecting" them from the Internet when they are not using it. SURFboard cable modems have an extra "Standby" LED that illuminates when "Standby" is engaged. See similar questions...

Radiation is emitted from the area of a phone containing the radio system (transmitter and receiver), the internal antenna system, the earpiece, display and keypad. This is why shielding devices that are designed to cover only a small portion of the phone are ineffective. Click here for additional information. See similar questions...

Predicting talk and standby times on a phone is a tricky business, and it's rather akin to predicting the mileage you'll get on your brand new car. Did you ever notice how the mileage stickers have disclaimers that say something like "you mileage may vary"? This is because the way you drive your car has a strong influence on mileage. Hard driving will result in lower gas mileage. In the case of a cell phone, it isn't so much how you use it, but where you use it. See similar questions...

A 1,300-kilowatt mill generates the electric energy consumed during the course of a year by one thousand homes, which is he equivalent to saving two thousand barrels of oil and avoiding emitting three thousand tonnes of carbon dioxide. The power installed in Galicia by 2010 is estimated at 6,500 MW, which means an annual saving of 28.4 million barrels of petrol and, 715 million Euro for the Spanish economy.

BeCom's technologies adhere to all applicable government rules and equivalent rules that pertain to radio frequency (RF) exposure levels. Such rules are based on the scientific evidence presently available and incorporate significant margins of safety to ensure the health of the general public. The risk of harmful exposure to any radiated energy is a function of the frequency of the radiation, the power of the energy, the proximity and the length of time of exposure.

Unlocked means the phone is not locked to any network. The phone can accept any sim card (except Video Networks). Usually phones come locked so they can only work on one network. For example if you have a phone locked to T-mobile but you want to insert a Vodafone sim card, this is not possible as the phone is "locked" to T-mobile but once it is unlocked it will then accept the Vodafone sim card.

If you receive a message that says "No contacts were updated", even when you know there should be, either you did not mark any contacts to be downloaded to the phone or you manually edited the phone's native phonebook. If you did not mark any contacts to be downloaded, do so and try again. See similar questions...
