無線路由器最好離人半米以上 新京報記者通過實驗發現,無線路由器在待機和工作兩種狀態下的輻射量,均低於國標
7月16日,存倉實驗人員在用綜合場強儀分別測半米外無線路由器(上圖)、手機(下圖)的電磁輻射。【國家標準】不高于0.4瓦╱平方米【實驗樣品】●無線路由器為思科公司生產的linksys 54G無線路由器●連接無線路由器的設備為蘋果公司生產的retnia macbook pro電腦和iphone4s手機,以及三星719手機。新京報訊 隨著家庭上網設備的增多,一條網線接口就遠遠不夠用了,無線路由器成為很多人的選擇。一直以來,不少人都對無線路由器持懷疑態度,質疑其輻射對人體產生的危害,甚至有網友稱其產生的輻射量或有可能致癌。那麼無線路由器的輻射情況怎麼樣呢?對人體健康是否有影響?7月16日,新京報記者與北京環境科學學會理事袁玉明一起,進行了關於無線路由器的輻射實驗。本次實驗分別對無線路由器在待機和工作兩種狀態下做出無線電輻射測試,測試工具為綜合場強儀。袁玉明介紹,根據無線路由器發射信號的頻率特點,適用于《環境電磁波容許輻射強度分級標準》《電磁輻射防護規定》《環境電磁波衛生標準》等法規和技術標準中對“30兆-30G”這一頻段的輻射限值要求,即每平方米0.4瓦,這一標準比歐盟的標準低數十倍。實驗發現,無線路由器的輻射值與其工作狀態、距離關係密切,工作狀態下,輻射瞬間最大值為0.2瓦╱平方米,而待機時輻射量僅為0.01瓦╱平方米;半米之外,無線路由器的輻射量迅速衰減,此時的數值與日常使用的3G手機的輻射值差不多。雖然上述測試得出的輻射值均低於國家標準,但專家建議,無線路由器最好置於離人體半米以外的距離,不用時可以關閉電源;儘量避免手機、微波爐等輻射設備同時使用造成的輻射疊加效應。此外,在不影響使用的情況下,還可以通過減少無線路由器天線數量的方式來減少輻射。實驗11米以外輻射值衰減數百倍實驗目的:測試無線路由器在工作狀態下產生的輻射量。實驗過程:實驗操作人員將電腦與無線路由器連接,用電腦通過該無線路由器產生的wifi從網上下載文件,速度為200k╱秒。然後,分別將綜合場強儀貼在無線路由器旁、離無線路由器0.5米處、離無線路由器1米處,測其輻射值(結果見表格一)。【專家解讀】北京環境科學學會理事袁玉明表示,無線路由器的輻射值與其工作狀態關係密切,在與其連接的電腦處於較高流量的數據下載狀態時,其輻射值就會相對高,甚至瞬間會有一個比較高的值。而半米之外,無線路由器的輻射就迅速衰減了。實驗2待機狀態下輻射值更低實驗目的:測試無線路由器在待機狀態下產生的自存倉射量。實驗過程:切斷所有與該無線路由器產生的wifi連接的設備,分別將綜合場強儀貼在無線路由器旁、離無線路由器0.5米處、離無線路由器1米處,測其輻射值(結果見表格二)。【專家解讀】袁玉明建議,雖然即使貼在無線路由器邊上,輻射值也符合國家要求,但是長期使用的話最好還是將無線路由器放置在距離座位半米或以上距離,“尤其是注意不要放在臥室床邊或者靠近在兒童經常活動的區域,因為與成人相比,兒童對輻射的抵抗能力更低。”實驗3手機2G模式輻射量更大實驗目的:測試手機的輻射量,以便於和無線路由器輻射量進行對比。實驗過程:將綜合場強儀貼在無線路由器旁、離無線路由器0.5米處、離無線路由器1米處,測其輻射值。分別測試三星719手機調為中國移動2G的GSM模式、三星719手機調為中國電信3G的CDMA2000模式、iPhone4s在中國聯通3G的WCDMA模式下的輻射值(結果見表格三)。【專家解讀】袁玉明表示,三個實驗中,無線路由器和手機都符合國家標準的不高于0.4瓦╱平方米的要求。無線路由器半米外的輻射值基本與日常使用的3G手機的輻射值差不多。本次測試中,出現的最大輻射值為中國移動2G的GSM模式的0.3,對此袁玉明解釋稱,這是由2G的工作模式來決定的,在2G時代,基站是滿功率向用戶發射信號的。而3G的基站是可以根據用戶的遠近隨時調節功率的。這也可以提示大家,如果想儘量減少輻射,應選擇手機的3G模式。需要注意的是,一些手機雖然支持3G模式,但是一些人由於嫌麻煩、不願意換號等原因還是用該手機的2G模式來待機和通話,這是無法起到減少輻射的效果的。■ 建議可減少天線以降低輻射電磁輻射超過規定強度,可以視為電磁汙染,雖然電磁汙染無色無味,但是對身體的傷害則存在可能性。因此家庭中應儘量減少電磁汙染,比如無線路由器在夜間不用時可以關閉電源;儘量避免手機、微波爐等輻射設備同時使用造成的輻射疊加效應。此外,記者通過其他測試發現,無線路由器用三根天線時,要比一根天線時輻射量大幅度增加。由此可見,無線路由器的天線具有輻射增益效應,因此,可以嘗試將具有三個天線的無線路由器減少到兩個或者一個,只要信號覆蓋能夠滿足使用即可。如果暫時沒有手機等設備的上網需求,可以用網線將無線路由器中的輸出網線接口與電腦等上網設備相連(部分無線路由器不具備輸出網線接口),同時除去全部無線路由器的天線,降低輻射水平。本版採寫 新京報記者 饒沛本版攝影 新京報記者 薛珺(本實驗只對實驗樣品負責)迷你倉新蒲崗

新設LED路燈 議員炮轟易壞
台南市永華六個行政區五月起才開始裝設八六○四盞LED路燈,迷你倉出租但市議員邱莉莉炮轟新設路燈故障率達二.五%,已有二一三件維修通報,若按此比例,全年故障率將達五成,要求市府在八月驗收時,要嚴格把關。邱莉莉說,新設LED路燈不但故障率高且維修慢,光是七月一日至十八日,原南市永華六個行政區,就有二一三件LED燈維修通報,其中以北區最多共七十二件、中西區四十九件次之,南區卅二件、安平區廿九件、東區廿一件、安南區十件。邱莉莉抨擊原南市五月才剛始裝設的LED路燈,不到三個月竟儲存倉故障率就達二.五%,其中最嚴重的北區甚至故障率達五%,平均每廿盞就有一盞故障,故障率高得嚇人。她指出,新設的LED路燈每盞由中央補助八千元,市府自付五百元,由節能電費分期支付,八六○四盞就花費七三一三萬公帑,市府務必在驗收時嚴格把關,必須按照相關技術規範準則辦理。邱莉莉表示,由於「台南市擴大設置LED路燈專案計畫」中,有關工程保固的部分,明定若燈具故障或失明,經工務局通知未於廿四小時內免費修復放光,則按次計,罰五百元做為懲罰性違約金,市府在這方面的要求不能放水。迷你倉沙田

從“中國製造”走向“網購中國”
【新華社北京電】作為當前全球增勢最迅猛的電子商務新業態,儲存倉跨境網購也成為中國對外貿易的一道靚麗風景線。“網購中國”雖剛起步,但其全球意義不容低估。龐大的製造業為“網購中國”提供了堅實的物質基礎,日趨成熟的電子商務技術、日益發達的全球物流配送體系與席捲全球的網購熱潮為“中國製造”走出國門提供絕佳機會。一句話,“中國製造”與“網購中國”是天然“最佳拍檔”。跨境電子商務增25%數字也證明這一點。在出口增速趨緩的大背景下,中國跨境電子商務卻異軍突起。中國電子商務研究中心的數據顯示,一一年中國外貿電商交易規模增長率達40.6%,一二年同比增長超過25%。跨境網購最顯而易見的優勢是,省卻了諸多中間環節,使國外消費者能買到物美價廉的“中國製造”。價格差距,是外國消費者青睞“網購中國”的重要原因。拿目前跨境網購頗為熱銷的婚紗為例,在歐美,一件婚紗可能要2,000歐元,而從中國網購只要200-300美元,價格差了近10倍;從物流來看,最快3天就能到貨,完全在心理承受範圍之內。“網購中國”讓全世界消費者節省了巨大的消費支出,其熱潮在美國、俄羅斯、巴西、烏克蘭及歐洲國家流行,呈現橫掃全球之勢。據媒迷你倉沙田報道,當前“網購中國”最熱銷的是服裝、箱包、手機、鞋類、燈具等日用商品。“網購中國”有可能修正當前不公正、不平衡的全球貿易利益分配格局。�所周知,中國雖是世界頭號出口大國,但在全球貿易利益分配格局中處於下風,西方發達國家憑藉技術、品牌和渠道上的競爭優勢,攫取了絕大部分貿易利益。相比之下,中國主要從事加工環節,獲得的利益比例極低。有助打破貿易壁壘如一件襯衫,中國的出廠價35元,出口到國外,終端銷售價可能會翻10倍。也就是說,與國外中間商和零售商獲得的利潤相比,中國廠家利潤微薄。隨著“網購中國”的蓬勃發展,這種不公正局面可能改觀。“網購中國”還打破形形色色的貿易壁壘,讓“中國製造”與境外消費者直接見面,反過來拉動了全球消費者對“中國製造”的需求,帶動了中國製造業的繁榮。簡言之,“網購中國”將壯大“中國製造”,提升我國出口競爭力,有助於重塑“中國製造”的影響力以及全球產業鏈與貿易格局。不過,也必須承認,“網購中國”還處於起步階段,在線上支付、物流、稅收等環節上尚有障礙需要克服,且現階段替代傳統貿易形式不切實際。但作為一種方興未艾的潮流,“網購中國”有強大的生命力,其全球意義不容低估。迷你倉價錢

Bruce Lee's legacy leaves a family divided
As an exhibition opens to mark the 40th anniversary of the kung fu icon’s death, his relatives are still at odds over the rights to his enduring legendForty years to the day after his untimely death, the legend of Bruce Lee lives on: a cultural icon of Hong Kong, a great exponent of the martial arts and a philosopher whose words continue to serve as an inspiration, bonding people of different generations and cultures across the world.迷你倉And there are hopes that the anniversary will go some way to restoring the bond between people who have had more than their fair share of differences over the years – the Lee family.The opening of the biggest ever museum exhibition devoted to Bruce’s life and work yesterday brought Bruce’s elder sister Phoebe and nephew Clarence – the son of Bruce’s younger brother Robert – face to face with Bruce’s daughter Shannon.It’s rare for Bruce’s siblings to share a stage with his daughter or his widow, Linda Lee Cadwell.The two sides of the family have often pursued projects devoted to Bruce separately.What little communication there has been has more often come in the form of e-mail exchanges and letters from lawyers, rather than heartwarming phone calls and family gatherings.“Let bygones be bygones,” Phoebe, 74, said on the eve of the opening of the exhibition at the Heritage Museum in Sha Tin. “It feels so much better if you let it go ... We share the same family name after all.”The division in the Lee family is no secret. Distance (most live in different parts of the United States) is one reason. Cultural differences also come into play, with Lee’s siblings forming a traditional Chinese family.Shannon and Cadwell, who has remarried twice since Bruce’s death, are all-American.“We are not on bad terms,” Shannon said. “We just don’t communicate very often.”But Robert, speaking from the US, has a different take. “I wish Bruce wasn’t that famous in that respect,” he said. “We could have a real, complete family.”At the crux of the family feud are the lucrative rights to Bruce’s name, image and work. The controversy has been reignited by the Bruce Lee: Kung Fu, Art, Life exhibition, which opens to the public today and runs for five years.Robert said his side of the family has been shunned by organisers after they got in touch with the Bruce Lee Foundation, a charity headed by Shannon and Cadwell. “Three years ago, the museum approached me and Phoebe on the exhibition,” Robert recalled, describing a lunch with Leisure and Cultural Services Department officials in San Francisco.He said he and Phoebe even proposed installing a replica of their childhood home at 218 Nathan Road from the set of the 2010 biopic Bruce Lee, My Brother, for which Robert served as an executive producer.The museum liked the suggestion. But he said: “We didn’t hear anything from them. We didn’t know what was going on.”He later realised the museum had teamed up with Shannon for the exhibition, in which more than 400 out of the 600 exhibits come from the foundation’s collection. Sources say the government museum simply wanted to stay out of family affairs.But the handling of the matter certainly upset Robert, Phoebe and their sister Agnes, who demanded the museum remove the film set just one month ago, saying they owned the intellectual property rights.Rights issues have become an unshakable problem for the Lee family since Bruce’s death from acute cerebral edema.Records of the office of the secretary of state of California show that in 1985, Cadwell, Lee’s late son Brandon and Shannon made claims as successor-ininterest to the rights of a deceased personality under California code Section 3344.1. The code offers protection of the rights to a person “whose name, voice, signature, photograph, or likeness has commercial value at the time of his or her death” for the immediate family – a surviving spouse, children, grandchildren, or surviving parent or grandparents.Public records show Cadwell claimed 50 per cent of “all types of rights” as Lee’s surviving spouse under the name Linda Lee. Brandon and Shannon each claimed 25 per cent as Lee’s surviving children. Shannon was just four when Bruce died.“We were never aware of those actions as we never bothered to check,” Robert said. “Our family never knew whether he [made inheritance plans] as we never asked ... We never thought he would pass at the age of 32.”The Bruce Lee Foundation was established in 2002 as a charity to promote Bruce’s legacy. Shannon serves as president and it is chaired by Cadwell. In 2008, the family’s successor-in-interest rights were handed on to Bruce Lee Enterprises, in addition to rights retrieved from Universal Studios, Shannon said.She explained that Bruce Lee Enterprises was an in-house licensing division, handling everything from T-shirts to a much-criticised commercial for Johnnie Walker whisky. The advert was premiered last week and uses computer-generated imagery and an actor to portray Bruce.There is also the LeeWay Media Group, which handles productions such as the 2009 History Channel documentary How Bruce Lee Changed the World and the 50-episode television series The Legend of Bruce Lee, aired on CCTV on the mainland in 2008. Shannon was executive producer for both shows.The foundation is also working to raise US$35 million to build Bruce Lee Action Museum in Seattle, Shannon said.All these structured efforts enable Cadwell and Shannon to exercise a strict control over the use of Bruce’s name, image, likeness and all related material.Bruce’s siblings have no involvement with the trust. Johnnie Walker has to license the rights to digitally “revive” Bruce for the company, Shannon said.Thus, entering legal disputes with others has become a routine for Bruce Lee Enterprises since it was incorporated. It has taken retailers like Target and Urban Outfitters to court for selling T-shirts bearing the images of Bruce without authorisation.“The rights of the dead to keep earning are clear文件倉” attorney Oscar Michelen said in a commentary on the case on his blog Courtroom Strategy.In 2010, Shannon brought the copyright campaign to China, accusing firms and individuals of using Bruce’s name and image without family authorisation.She also reportedly asked the local government of Shunde, a district of Foshan, Guangdong, that is the Lee family’s ancestral home, to hand the trademark to Bruce’s name and image to the family and the Bruce Lee Foundation for free. In June, LeeWay Media entered a copyright dispute with Laurence Joachim and the Trans-National Film Corporation, who claimed they had the rights to Bruce’s first Hollywood screen test.The eight-minute 1965 clip was featured in I Am Bruce Lee, a documentary released last year and produced by LeeWay Media.And stringent copyright enforcement didn’t just apply to those outside the family.Kris Storti, chief operating officer and general counsel of Bruce Lee Enterprises, said in a 2009 press release: “We are redoubling our efforts around the world. We are absolutely committed to a vigorous protection of the Bruce Lee brand and our intellectual property, and plan to pursue legal action whenever necessary.”In reference to the film Bruce Lee, My Brother, Storti added: “This, unfortunately, includes the recently announced biopic by JA Media and Robert Lee.”Media Asia, which co-produced the movie with JA Media, and another investor received legal letters from Shannon’s lawyer before the movie was released in 2010.“[Storti told] them they did not have the right to use Bruce Lee’s image or likeness,” said Robert, who co-produced the film, based on stories told by him and his two sisters.He said before the film went into production, he tried to involve Shannon by giving her the details of the investors. “Then she didn’t want to work with me. She wanted the whole deal to herself,” he said. “We don’t talk as much as I would like to. They don’t want to collaborate with us. We are one family. There is no reason why we shouldn’t collaborate. We share different parts of Bruce’s life.”When the Bruce Lee Club of Hong Kong, of which Phoebe and Robert are honorary chairman, raised the money for the iconic statue of Bruce on the Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui in 2005, they reached out to Shannon. But she chose not to get involved.“I’m not trying to take over the Bruce Lee empire,” said Robert. “I will [soon] be 65 and semi-retired. I’m not interested in pursuing anything. If they think I’m trying to make money, I haven’t done except for from the movie.”He says the two books he wrote about Bruce – one in Chinese, the other in Japanese – sold only 1,000 copies each.Shannon, who plans to produce a film based on a script by her father, tells a different story.“I hear things … like I have heard some people say my uncle claims they have certain intellectual property rights prior to the day [Bruce] married my mother.“[Robert] has certainly never said that to me. I asked about it and he denied he had ever said that,” Shannon said. “Certainly it wouldn’t have been true. That’s not how the law works.”Robert said: “Our family was never sued, but received threatening cease-and-desist letters from Linda’s ex-attorney. I stopped talking to Linda.”Clarence, who lives in Macau and Hong Kong, said: “I’m speaking not just for this family but for any family. To speak through lawyers is kind of wrong.”He said his father and aunts were frustrated, as they wanted only to share their experiences with fans interested in Bruce’s childhood. Robert recalled a family that was closer back then, supporting each other when Bruce died even though Bruce’s siblings were in the US when the news broke. Phoebe moved to the US with her American-born Chinese husband 43 years ago. Robert lived in the US at the time and returned to Hong Kong in 1975 to build his music career.When Bruce’s mother died in 1996 – three years after a tragic accident on the set of the film The Crow claimed Brandon’s life – Shannon, then 27, did not attend the funeral.“They [Shannon and Cadwell] did not visit mother during her last months and they did not attend her funeral,” Robert said.Bruce’s siblings say it is a far cry from Bruce’s attitude to his family. Phoebe, who is two years older than Bruce, said her beloved brother made family his top priority. She remembered the delight of her father, Cantonese opera maestro Lee Hoi-chuen, when he learned of Brandon’s birth in the United States.“He was very happy because it was the first grandchild and a son. You know what a son means in Chinese tradition,” she said.One week later, Lee Hoi-chuen passed away in his sleep. Bruce rushed back from California to attend the funeral.Phoebe said Bruce was devastated that he could not bid farewell to his father in person.“He walked on his knees from the outside to the altar. He was in tears, and I said to him, ‘Don’t cry, brother’,” Phoebe recalled.Phoebe is reluctant to speak about her relationship with Shannon and Cadwell. She said she didn’t really communicate with Cadwell and blamed her poor English.She still attended the exhibition’s opening last night because she was proud of her brother’s achievements and is still loved by fans around the world. Robert thinks a misunderstanding must be behind the family rift, though he isn’t sure what it was. “Even if something happened between my mum and Linda, let bygones be bygones,” he said.Robert will not attend the exhibition, but he has asked Clarence, 33, to speak to Shannon.“I said to him, ‘She’s your elder. Go see her and talk to her’,” he said.Clarence sees the exhibition as a chance to catch up with his cousin. “She’s trying very hard to promote the legacy of her father the way she wants,” he said.And Robert has just one hope left for his brother’s legacy.“I just wish one day things would work out ... I hope all this can be resolved before my two sisters and I die,” he said. “Let’s tear the wall down.”Back page A12Life story retold C1存倉

Pay for on-street parking downtown with your phone
Source: The Seattle TimesJuly 19--For an extra 35 cents, downtown Seattle parkers can rid themselves of searching for loose change and scraping sticky residue off their windows.迷你倉價錢The city launched a new initiative Thursday that allows drivers to use their phones to pay for on-street parking.PayByPhone can be used within the boundaries of Seneca Street, Olive Way, First Avenue and Ninth Avenue. The option, through a city vendor partner, will be expanded to other areas of the city by the end of the year.Through PayByPhone, drivers don't need to use a pay station or display a printed sticker. Parkers download the PayByPhone application and create an account, then enter their license-plate number and credit-card information.When they want to park, they enter a five-digit location code printed on a sign next to each pay station, and the fee is automatically deducted from their account.PayByPhone users can also receive a text message reminding them when their parking time is about to expire. If their meter hasn't expired, they can add time remotely.To encourage parking turnover, the system will have a waiting period so users can't pay with the same location code right after their time expires.Barrie Arnold, chief commercial officer of PayByPhone, called the smartphone "the meter of the future." He said the pay-by-phone option allows people to feel more at ease about parking on the street."People can stay longer for coffee or dessert, or spend more time shopping because they know they'll get a message," Arnold said at a news conference Thursday.Seattle police parking-enforcement officers will be able to see the payment status and license-plate numbers in real time on their enforcement equipment, so a printed receipt isn't necessary.The parking rules are the same as pay sta迷你倉庫ions, with two exceptions. PayByPhone is not portable to other areas, so time in one area can't be transferred to another block. And PayByPhone does not offer overnight prepayment between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m.Mayor Mike McGinn, who spoke at the news conference, said the technology was introduced to encourage more people to come downtown.Downtown Seattle Association CEO Kate Joncas said surveys showed parking was one of the primary barriers preventing would-be downtown visitors."[PayByPhone] addresses that concern," Joncas said.Kristine Cela, who works at a Rex's, a deli on Second Avenue, said parking is a daily struggle for visitors and commuters."The pay machines are a huge pain, because you have to have certain coins and you can't use dollars," said Cela, who usually walks downtown from Lower Queen Anne. "It's frustrating."A phone option, she said, is "way more convenient."PayByPhone offers services in 180 North American and European cities, including Miami, Kansas City and London. The Vancouver, B.C.-based company's revenue comes from the 35-cent convenience fee for each transaction, not from the city.The Seattle Department of Transportation started working with PayByPhone in 2012 after a competitive vendor process, according to Mary Catherine Snyder, the department's parking strategist. SDOT used $220,000 for enforcement and pay station software integration and program outreach.Drivers can download the PayByPhone application from a smartphone app store.If you don't have a smartphone, you can use the pay-by-phone option by calling 1-888-515-7275, or at www.paybyphone.com.Paige Cornwell: 206-464-2517 or pcornwell@seattletimes.comCopyright: ___ (c)2013 The Seattle Times Visit The Seattle Times at www.seattletimes.com Distributed by MCT Information Services儲存
