The Beacon Light
The St. Marylebone Hospitals League, the foundation of which was cordially welcomed in these columns, continues to grow, and the latest sign of its activity "is a monthly journal, called the " Beacon Light," the first two issues of which lie before us. The League differs from similar bodies in several interesting ways. It represents the eight hospitals of the borough, and seeks to enrol regular...
متن کاملBitcoin Beacon
We examine a protocol πbeacon that outputs unpredictable and publicly verifiable randomness, meaning that the output is unknown at the time that πbeacon starts, yet everyone can verify that the output is close to uniform after πbeacon terminates. We show that πbeacon can be instantiated via Bitcoin under sensible assumptions; in particular we consider an adversary with an arbitrarily large init...
متن کاملThe ANTARES Optical Beacon System
ANTARES is a neutrino telescope being deployed in the Mediterranean Sea. It consists of a three dimensional array of photomultiplier tubes that can detect the Cherenkov light induced by charged particles produced in the interactions of neutrinos with the surrounding medium. High angular resolution can be achieved, in particular when a muon is produced, provided that the Cherenkov photons are de...
متن کاملThe Length of the Beacon Attraction Trajectory
We study the attraction trajectory of a point under the beacon model. We show that when a point object p is attracted to a point beacon b, inside a simple polygon P , its trajectory is at most √ 2 times the geodesic distance between p and b in P .
متن کاملAdaptive Beacon Placement
Beacon placement strongly affects the quality of spatial localization, a critical service for context-aware applications in wireless sensor networks; yet this aspect of localization has received little attention. Fixed beacon placement approaches such as uniform and very dense placement are not always viable and will be inadequate in very noisy environments in which sensor networks may be expec...
