While others may 'Sing the Body Electric' [1], Microsoft has patented
it. On Tuesday, the USPTO awarded Microsoft a patent for its 'Method
and apparatus for transmitting power and data using the human body'
[2], which covers the use of the human body as a conductive medium
(bus) over which power, data and control signals may be distributed.
