Scientists under Surveillance: The FBI Files

The FBI Sentinel Project

In 2000, the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) initiated its Trilogy program in order to upgrade FBI infrastructure technologies, address national security concerns, and provide agents and analysts greater investigative abilities through creation of an FBI-wide network and improved user applications. Lacking an appropriate enterprise architecture foundation, IT expertise, and ...

The Fbi Transform on Compact C1 Manifolds

The Fbi Transform on Compact C∞ Manifolds

We present a geometric theory of the Fourier-Bros-Iagolnitzer transform on a compact C∞ manifold M . The FBI transform is a generalization of the classical notion of the wave-packet transform. We discuss the mapping properties of the FBI transform and its relationship to the calculus of pseudodifferential operators on M . We also describe the microlocal properties of its range in terms of the “...

Under Water Surveillance Hydrobot

Under water surveillance hydrobot is a moving surveillance device whose motion can be controlled using a joystick.It can be used to monitor far distances and wide areas for under water objects. It has an acoustic video system which develops an underwater surveillance system. Ultra high frequency wireless camera is used to capture the underwater images. This proposed system resists the overflow ...

By the scientists, for the scientists

My association with the JCB began very early in my scientific career. In fact, it predated my understanding that there would even be a scientific career. In the mid-1970s while still an undergraduate, the JCB published my very first paper, a contribution noted perhaps less so for its reporting the characterization of the first known protein in plant cell walls than for a footnote that called at...
