What GPS is

As it often happens with high-tech projects, initiators of development and implementation of GPS (Global Positioning System) were the military. Project of satellite network for determining the coordinates in real time-mode and in any spot on the Earth was named NAVSTAR (Navigation signal timing and ranging), whereas the abbreviation GPS appeared later when the system was used not only for the purposes of defence, but also for civilian purposes (Howell). Today, GPS “provides accurate, continuous, world-wide, three-dimensional position and velocity information to users with the appropriate receiving equipment” (Kaplan, 3).

Abstract

The topic of wireless Security issues in pervasive computing is a very dynamic area given that the technology keeps on changing. The change in technology comes with different challenges especially when it comes to integration of two or more technologies to satisfy human needs in life. Pervasive computing(PC), for instance, can represent an entry point for many of attacks.It can compromise users’ data, crash the complete system, render services unavailable, and possibly result to the loss of property and even lives. This paper examines and reports various security concerns in wireless security within the context of PC. The analysis ...

Radio Shack is in need of a massive organization overhaul. The Board of Directors was hoping to get this type of culture change when they hired a new CEO. To date, the company’s and CEO’s performance continues to show that they are still stuck in a deep rut. Sadly, one with no immediate end in sight.
Having conducted my own research, and based on my observations and analyses about Radio Shack, I have decided to write a letter to Joseph Magnacca to inform him about the changes I believe are necessary to quickly regain financial health, which needs to start ...

So far, we have written a program that simulates a media player on FPGA board and plays an audio file. However, in the real world, we require applications that can play a series of songs for a specified period of time. The user need not be bothered about changing or selecting a song for each time he/she wants a new one. For this, we make use of a song scheduling technique which schedules songs as per requirement of the user automatically for a period of time. A scenario can be taken such as that of Radio station where songs have to be played continuously, and there should ...

“A fax machine is a machine that sends messages to another fax machine by a phone line, at the same moment, when the message is sent to the other machine, it decodes the message and prints it out” (Beau, n.d.). Hence, a process of faxing is by definition "a method of encoding data, transmitting it over a telephone line or radio broadcast, and receiving a hard copy of the text, line drawings, or photographs at a remote location” (Bellis, n.d.). The very first prototype of a fax machine dates back to the middle of 19th century when in 1843 Scottish inventor Alexander Bain created a machine that was ...

Based on my media diary, television tops the list of the most used medium with 4 hours 30 minutes, followed closely by internet with 4 hours 8 minutes. Radio comes in a distant third with 1 hour 30 minutes, while print media comes in fourth with 1 hour, and recorded music at 25. Clearly visual media dominates the list of preferred media, with traditional media like print and radio, taking a back seat. This preference is obviously due to the extra visual stimulation that can be associated with the first two media forms. My media use pattern is consistent with that ...

INTRODUCTION

With increasing emergence of cellular computing and internet, cellular wireless technologies have found its way into the limelight to supplement the increasing demand for wireless data services. Existing data services pose a challenge for the delivery of quick easy and cheap connections. The current wireless technologies are based on circuit switched radio transmission. This transmission process allocates a channel to a single user in a network for an entire communication period and when the traffic levels reach a certain threshold inefficient resource utilization is likely to be observed. Therefore the transmission method is ineffective and in order to satisfy the user demands, better methods ...

UK student university fees figures for 2010 and 2011 revealed overseas prices were up to six times as much as home fees. In October last year the Brown review sparked significant debate with its conclusion that universities should be allowed to decide what they charge students. This decision would see the cap on tuition fees lifted and allow for a 10% increase in student places to meet the rising demand for a degree-level education. The cap has however never been applied to overseas tuition fees and while universities could only charge UK undergraduates £3,290, the rates for students from other ...

An exoplanet is a term used to describe a planet that is located outside the solar system that includes the Earth (exoplanet, 2013). Astronomer Peter van Kamp made the first announcement of the discovery of an exoplanet in 1963, however, that discovery failed to hold up over time and now has been conclusively disproved (Matson, 2013). The first exoplanet discovery that has stood the test of time was the discovery of two bodies orbiting a neutron star in a system named PSR 1257+12 (Wolszczan and Frail, 1992). Wolszczan and Frail calculated that the masses of these exoplanets would be ...

Introduction: A brief history on the evolution of grid technologies.

The Smart Grid is the backbone of all major innovations, policies and regulations included in the power grid since its creation in the 1880’s.
