Cannon is living a fantasy
I don't live in Rep. Chris Cannon's district, but his position on the economy is so ridiculous in so many ways, I feel compelled to comment. First he says that we must bring down the cost of energy and that the root of the problem is "regulatory restraints."...

Geometric-invariant image watermarking by key-dependent triangulation
Fast and massive dissemination of image data across the Internet imposes great challenges of protecting images against illegal access and unauthorized reproduction. Image watermarking provides a powerful solution for intellectual protection. In this paper, a new image watermarking approach robust to various geometric distortions is proposed. The new scheme involves...

Effects of flow conditioning on gas measurement
Gas flow Grate measurement errors at field meter stations have many causes. For instance, errors can result from an improper installation configuration, unrealistic calibration of a meter or degradation of meter performance over time. Industry standards have been developed to help meter station designers and operators avoid situations that...

A case study survey of harmonic currents generated from a computer centre in an office building
Abstract: Due to the growing use of non-linear load equipment and new technologies in buildings, harmonic currents generated in distribution systems pose a new problem for electrical engineers. This is a serious problem when power quality is a prime concern. The problem is due to some non-linear loads showing different...

Reducing distortions to agricultural incentives: progress, pitfalls, and prospects
Most of the world's poorest people depend on farming for their livelihood. Earnings from farming in low-income countries are depressed partly due to a pro-urban bias in own-country policies, and partly because richer countries including some developing countries favor their farmers with import barriers and subsidies. Both sets of policies...

Design of linear S-band power amplifiers with high power-added efficiency.(TECHNICAL FEATURE)
For most narrowband wireless devices, a power amplifier PA is normally used to boost the signal level, prior to transmission. The fundamental requirements in PA design are to achieve a high output power at the 1 dB compression point (P1dB), reasonable power gain and excellent power-added...

Reform and Development in China: A New Institutional Economics Perspective
The success of China's approach to transition has produced many challenges to the conventional wisdom in economic theory. The transition in essence is a process of institutional changes from those of a planned economy to those of a market economy. In the paper we argue that the economic institutions of...

Electric goblins in water treatment systems: if your plant is experiencing inexplicable nuisance tripping, inconsistent power quality or extensive power interruptions, harmonic distortion may be the culprit.(Municipal Special Edition)
Water treatment plants and pumping stations supported by variable-frequency drives VFDs may be unwittingly threatened with power system problems including interruptions, interference, downtime and even disruption of instrumentation and other sensitive equipment due to an elusive culprit called harmonic distortion. This is an undetected condition...

Modeling 802.11a-based wLAN systems
Complex communications standards such as the OFDM-based IEEE 802.11 a methods employed in WLANs can be simulated with the right system-level software simulation tools. Multicarrier modulation schemes are gaining momentum in the communications marketplace due to bandwidth efficiency. In particular, orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplex OFDM systems allow carriers to be very tightly packed...

Transaction costs relating to acquisition or enhancement of intangible property: a populist, political, but practical perspective
"An outstanding feature of this criterion [of Practicality] is the restraint it imposes on zealous aspirations to achieve near perfect conformity with other criteria. Compromises, often quite crude, are forced frequently because dogged Practicality must be heeded." (1) I. INTRODUCTION Since the early 1970s, a taxpayer has been...
