Acoustically actuated magnetoelectric (ME) antenna based on the efficient oscillation of magnetic dipoles has recently been considered as a promising solution for portable very-low-frequency communications. However, the severe nonlinear dynamic behavior in the case of strong-field excitation results in insufficient radiation capability and poor communication performance for a conventional ME antenna. In this work, we propose to suppress the nonlinearity of an ME antenna by neutralizing the spring-hardening effect in amorphous Metglas and the spring-softening effect in piezoelectric ceramics through an ME multilayered transmitter (ME-MLTx) design. With a driving voltage of 50 V at the resonance frequency of 21.2 kHz, a magnetic flux density as high as 108 fT at a distance of 100 m is produced from a single ME-MLTx. In addition, ME-MLTx performs a decreased mechanical quality factor ( ) less than 40.65, and, thus, a broadened bandwidth of 500 Hz is generated. Finally, a communication link transmitting binary American Standard Code for Information Interchange-coded message is built, which allows for an error-free communication with a distance of 18 m and a data rate of 300 bit/s in the presence of heavy environment noise. The communication distance can be further estimated over 100 m when using a femtotesla-class-inductive magnetic field receiver. The obtained results are believed to bring ME antennas one step closer to being applicable in very-low-frequency communications.

Very low frequency electromagnetic waves adeptly propagate in harsh cross-medium environments, surmounting the rapid attenuation that impedes high-frequency counterparts. Traditional low frequency antennas, however, encounter challenges concerning size, efficiency, and power. Here, an isolation transformer based very low frequency loop antenna with compact size and well impedance matching is proposed to enhance radiation characteristics for long-distance communication.

Background: Orthodontic correction of dentofacial abnormalities is a crucial component of oral health because it enhances overall oral health-related quality of life, optimal function, periodontal health, and aesthetics. This study sought to determine whether otolaryngologists recommend patients to orthodontists, whether they are adequately knowledgeable about the fundamentals of orthodontics, and whether they check for orthodontic problems in their patients.
Materials And Method: We conducted a survey study of otolaryngologists in Gujarat, India.

Research of novel biosignal modalities with application to remote patient monitoring is a subject of state-of-the-art developments. This study is focused on sonified ECG modality, which can be transmitted as an acoustic wave and received by GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) microphones. Thus, the wireless connection between the patient module and the cloud server can be provided over an audio channel, such as a standard telephone call or audio message.

VLF magneto-electric (ME) antennas have gained attention for their compact size and high radiation efficiency in lossy conductive environments. However, the need for a large DC magnetic field bias presents challenges for miniaturization, limiting portability. This study introduces a self-biased ME antenna with an asymmetric design using two magneto materials, inducing a magnetization grading effect that reduces the resonant frequency during bending.
