IoT AND SMARTDUST. "The "Internet of Things"--or the idea of connecting all machinery, buildings, and stuff, together into one big sensing, recording, and data-logging mega-network--is a hot concept in industry at the moment. Companies like General Electric and Cisco are busy making a node of everything ... The future is even more ubiquity (if that's possible). It's something called Smart Dust." https://lnkd.in/eSBshT3 View in LinkedIn

HACK POTENTIAL. "A widespread sensor mesh of smart dust that relies on radio waves to communicate will be just as vulnerable to electronic countermeasures as any other radio-based technology. But smart dust might overcome such obstacles by using swarm behavior." https://lnkd.in/ezqcA3j View in LinkedIn

HYPOTHESIS. "It is hypothesized that these pleomorphic forms are not staining artifacts/cellular debris, but instead represent various stages in the life cycle of stressed bacteria: cell wall-deficient/defective (often called L-forms) that are difficult-to-culture or nonculturable." https://lnkd.in/e6qsu9e View in LinkedIn

LASTING MOTORS. "Tiny vibration motors can harvest power from anything that moves or shakes—strides, heartbeats and active machinery. Flaps, weights and supports created using chip-fabricating techniques turn mechanical vibrations into power for as long as the machine holds up. Perhaps years." https://lnkd.in/ezqcA3j View in LinkedIn

UNDERESTIMATING L-FORMS. "Although these forms have been observed in stained tissue histopathologic specimens for many decades, most are ignored and generally regarded as diagnostically insignificant staining artifacts or debris." https://lnkd.in/e6qsu9e View in LinkedIn

SMALL PROGRESS. "Last year, a University of Michigan team showed off its Michigan Micro Mote, a solar-powered wireless computer not much bigger than a coarse grain of salt. A few years ago, Hitachi showed off experimental radio-frequency chips the size of dandruff flakes." https://lnkd.in/ezqcA3j View in LinkedIn

L-FORMS SUSPECTED. "There is considerable circumstantial evidence linking tissue pleomorphic forms of unknown origin with idiopathic chronic inflammatory, collagen, lymphoproliferative, nephro-urological (including interstitial cystitis and prostatodynia), and neoplastic diseases." https://lnkd.in/e6qsu9e View in LinkedIn

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE for L-Form bacteria being involved in chronic diseases many years after an initial infection. Diseases cited include: organ failure, autoimmune diseases, Guillian-Barré Syndrome, schizophrenia, stroke, cardiovascular disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, OCD, obesity, and chronic liver disease. https://lnkd.in/dTCkxDw View in LinkedIn

L-FORM IMMUNE CHALLENGE. "When the number of pathogens reaches a critical mass, childhood viral infections can reactivate, or the individual can acquire Candida (pathogenic yeast) and Mycoplasma infections." https://lnkd.in/dTCkxDw View in LinkedIn

L-FORMS AND DISEASE. "Some researchers now believe that chronic and recurrent illness - and particularly the 'mysterious' and autoimmune illnesses - may be the result of an ongoing challenge to the immune system by L-form bacteria. In addition to challenging the immune response, initial infections can alter the expression of human genes and also affect human host-cell pathways." https://lnkd.in/dTCkxDw View in LinkedIn
