Ultra-wideband radio (UWB) is a rapidly developing wireless technology that promises unprecedented data rates for short-range commercial radios, combined with precise locationing and high energy efficiency. These benefits stem from the use of wide bandwidths and impulse signaling, implying high channel capacity and precise time resolution. UWB has been used for military radar and imaging since ...

In this paper we introduce and describe a radio frequency-based system for location identification and tracking. The basic design of the system consists of transmitters in the environment, transceivers on the person or object for which location information is desired, and a receiver in the environment. Each of these three pieces of hardware and their associated software are discussed in this pa...

The demand for optical bandwidth continues to increase at an exponential rate [1]. In order to maximise the capacity of current network infrastructure, new varieties of optical transmitters and receivers are under development. Monolithic integration of optical components on a common substrate has the potential to satisfy demand due to its ability to reduce component size, power consumption, and...

In Designing Multilingual Experiences in Technical Communication, Dr. Laura Gonzales proposes a radical rethinking of the motivations, methods, execution, and interpretation multilingual research technical communication. rejects classical communication models, which posit communicator translator as mere transmitters information. Perhaps more important, current common practices their dismissive ...

Haug, Trude and Johan F. Storm. Protein kinase A mediates the modulation of the slow Ca-dependent K current, IsAHP, by the neuropeptides CRF, VIP, and CGRP in hippocampal pyramidal neurons. J. Neurophysiol. 83: 2071–2079, 2000. We have studied modulation of the slow Ca-activated K current (IsAHP) in CA1 hippocampal pyramidal neurons by three peptide transmitters: corticotropin releasing factor ...
