The geographic position of the MMA equipment container on Chajnantor, Chile, has been determined with a GPS navigation receiver to a horizontal precision of < 20 cm.

In some security-critical applications, a GPS satellite-navigation receiver is integrated with a tamper-resistant cryptographic module in order to provide remote attestation of location. Those in possession of the receiver may have an interest in it producing an incorrect output. Vehicle and container tracking, usage-based road charging, prisoner tagging, location-based access control are just ...

A basic property of any diffusion-based molecular communication system is the geometry enclosing container. In particular, influences system's behavior near boundary and in all existing modulation schemes governs receiver design. However, it not always straightforward to characterize system. This particularly case when operates scenarios where may be complex or dynamic. this article, we propose...

A description is given of a radio controlled box for the remote release of insects. It consists of a plaster-lined plastic container fitted with a battery and radio receiver which control a servo to open and close the lid. Instructions for construction and use are given.

Containers are an emerging cloud service for developers to wrap up applications into isolated boxes. To simplify deployment, developers break large monolithic services into small self-contained microservice containers, interconnected via container network. For example, a Web application is typically built with a load balancer, Web application containers, cache, search index, database and backgr...

Humans manipulate fluids intuitively using approximations of the underlying physical laws. In this paper, we explore a general methodology that robots may use to develop and improve strategies for overcoming manipulation tasks associated with appropriately defined loss functions. We focus on the specific task of pouring a liquid from a container (pourer) to another container (receiver) while mi...

In a municipal solid waste management system, decreasing collection/hauling costs, which consist of 85 % of total disposal expenditure, can be carried out by a route optimization. Thus, a huge amount of economical benefits is getting furnished. If route optimization is performed in solid waste collection/hauling process, due to reductions in “empty miles” negativity, total expenditures will be ...

In the first part of this paper we study minimal representations of simply connected simple split groups G of type Dk or Ek over local nonarchimedian fields. Our main result is an explicit formula for the spherical vectors in these representations. In the case of groups over R and C, such a formula was obtained recently in [8]. We also use our techniques to study the structure of the space of s...

This study analyses the concept of cost functions for semi-automated Straddle Carrier (SC), Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) and automated Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG) container yard operating cranes. It develops a generic cost based model for a pair-wise comparison, analysis and evaluation of economic efficiency and effectiveness of container yard equipment to be used for decision-making by terminal pla...
