Mobiles on the moon, Google Android, Facebook fall
News It's all still a long, long way off however (if not in a galaxy far, far away) - a prototype trial of the satellite system is several years away from blast off. Spring is almost in the air but something else taking off this month was news Nasa is... [28 Feb 2008]
Mining Company Targets $10 Million Per Year in Savings With Mobile Solution
White Paper PT Freeport Indonesia, a copper and gold mining firm, conducts a tightly synchronized set of drill and blast processes before it can extract ore. Because its sites are in remote, high-elevation environments, communication between mining teams and... [05 Nov 2007]
Peter Cochrane's Video Blog: Tech blast-off
Video In his latest video blog, Peter Cochrane reports from Florida where he has been visiting Nasa's Merritt Island space centre. The media may be hung up on non-stick frying pans but Nasa's contribution to technology is massive and goes far beyond its... [01 Nov 2007]
Pump-and-dump MP3 email spam warning
News The MP3 attachments, which range from around 85KB to 147KB in size, feature a poor sound quality audio blast with a barely audible synthetic female voice promoting a specific stock. An outbreak of pump-and-dump email spam this week is using... [19 Oct 2007]
Sequence Analysis in a Nutshell: BLAST
White Paper BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) is probably the best-known program in sequence analysis. It compares two sequences by trying to align them, and is also used to lookup sequences in a database. [17 Oct 2007]
Techies plugging in and tuning out
News Meanwhile, a devil-may-care 13 per cent not only choose to crank up their favourite track as they work through helpdesk logs but also blast it out over speakers so their colleagues have to listen too. [09 May 2007]
Reduced Complexity Blind Layered Space-Time Equalization for MIMO OFDM Systems
White Paper Blind Source Separation (BSS) combined with a Vertical Bell Laboratories Layered Space-Time (V-BLAST) scheme is used in a small portion of subcarriers to perform blind signal detection and channel estimation iteratively. [18 Apr 2007]
ICEE Serves Up Better Customer Service and Efficiency
White Paper The ICEE Company is a leading provider of popular beverages such as the ICEE, Slush, Smoothie, Arctic Blast, as well as other snack foods found in consumer venues and outlets throughout North America and Mexico. [16 Apr 2007]
Blind Layered Space-Time Equalization for MIMO OFDM Systems
White Paper This paper proposes a novel blind receiver for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems, where Blind Source Separation (BSS) and V-BLAST are combined to perform layered space-time equalization... [14 Apr 2007]
Channel Estimation for D-BLAST OFDM Systems
White Paper This paper applies D-BLAST in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems and addresses the issue of channel estimation. Different from other MIMO-OFDM, where symbols at all tones are always available for decision-directed channel... [13 Apr 2007]
Approaching MIMO-OFDM Capacity With Closed-Loop V-BLAST
White Paper This paper presents a closed-loop extension of the Vertical Bell Labs Layered Space-Time (V-BLAST) architecture for which the transmit power and rate assignments for each transmit antenna at different OFDM tones are optimized at the receiver and... [11 Apr 2007]
Approaching MIMO-OFDM Capacity With Per-Antenna Power and Rate Feedback
White Paper Based on the well-known Vertical Bell Labs Layered Space-Time (V-BLAST) architecture that employs independent encoding for each transmit antenna ("Horizontal encoding") and successive decoding at the receiver, this paper presents a per-antenna... [11 Apr 2007]
Performance of Space-Frequency Techniques Over Measured Channels in MIMO-OFDM Systems
White Paper The paper investigates Space-Frequency Trellis Coded Modulations (SFTCM) along with a number of BLAST detection algorithms: ML, Successive Interference Cancellation (original BLAST); linear ZF; ZF-ML hybrid. [11 Apr 2007]
