A synchronous impulse network (SIN) is defined to be a network of spatially distributed wireless nodes employing UWB impulse transceivers whose oscillators are "ticking" at the same time/phase. In this research, the ultra-wide bandwidth of UWB signals is exploited to provide high resolution timing synchronization. The network node in the proposed synchronization scheme measures the time-of-arri...

Photon (light) technology has already been widely used in make-up, medical treatment etc, but repelling mosquitoes by photon technology is an innovation. The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of a mosquito repelling lamp, E Da under indoor conditions. E Da lamp is a lamp coated with yellow luminous pigment on the inner part of the glass bulb of the lamp which is used to scre...

Nonrobustness refers to qualitative or catastrophic failures in geometric algorithms arising from numerical errors. Section 35.1 provides background on these problems. Although nonrobustness is already an issue in “purely numerical” computation, the problem is compounded in “geometric computation.” In Section 35.2 we characterize such computations. Researchers trying to create robust geometric ...
