The new ultrasound technology enables implantation equipment from radio interference

An ultrasonic technology could help prevent heart pacemakers and other implantable medical devices by radio attack.

　　A new method of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology researchers and the French Institute of Computer and Control, National Institute of Development Science is built by using ultrasonic testing of implantable medical devices and radio exact distance. The device requires only a microphone to detect ultrasound, and does not consume too much energy. Since the device does not respond to a predetermined distance beyond the interference, so the power consumed is not endless.

　　Researchers have built and tested a prototype system, and has applied for a patent. The study presented at the American Conference on Computer (ACM) Computer and Communications Security (CCS), the Association during the meeting held in November in Chicago (Illinois, USA) in 2009.
