By Jim Wolf and Sarah Marsh FARNBOROUGH (Reuters UK) - Lockheed Martin's F-22 "Raptor" fighter jet, widely considered the world's most advanced, streaked through a milestone performance on Monday for a warplane that money cannot buy. The 15-minute display of dips, dives and pirouettes was a...
By Jim Wolf FARNBOROUGH (Reuters) - Lockheed Martin Corp's LMT F-22 "Raptor" fighter jet, widely considered the world's most advanced, is set to streak through a milestone performance here on Monday for a U.S. warplane that unlike most others remains off...
In conditions where process temperatures rise above 150°C, vacuum, and overpressure are applied as well as adhesion of viscous products, the requirements of any measurement technology are put under strain. This document describes the features of the radar sensor VEGAPULS 63 and explains why it is the ideal measurement solution...
The paper describes the oil exploration process conducted in the Amazon basin of Ecuador and explains how it helped to generate geological, structural maps using GIS, air photos, satellite and radar images. This tool and materials used not only allowed a faster way of working but also permitted the development...
The article is case study on VEGAPULS radar. An application recently successfully solved includes a vent scrubber vessel on an agrochemical intermediate plant where caustic spray is used to clean waste vapors from the process. This process causes a turbulent liquid surface with heavy vapors. Problems were encountered with crystallization...
At today's Under The Radar conference, 32 of what the organizers call the "bleeding edge" startups that have launched in the past year in social media and entertainment are getting their chance to strut their stuff before an audience of VCs, bloggers, and other webophiles. So, in...
If marketers are looking for a target audience, they could do a whole lot worse than homosexual Americans.

There are essentially three reasons why it so challenging to adhere to the schedule or complete the to-do list. The externalities or things that we don't necessarily plan for often go unnoticed and fly under our radar screen when attempting to map out our week. They have tendency to eat...
The proposed autonomous navigation concept incorporates a radar altimeter, multiple forward-looking (and possibly aft-looking) pulse Doppler radar beams, and a site-specific airborne radar clutter model to aid in aircraft navigation under conditions when GPS service is interrupted. The paper further reveals that this system may be used as a means...
The public profile of the hedge fund industry is increasing dramatically - which is only fitting for an investment opportunity that is growing worldwide. And with that increased visibility come differing views on the impact of this burgeoning industry. This article discusses how, after attracting a massive influx of capital...
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the very near field zone of a circular surface with different aperture illuminations. In this zone, which is an unusual part of the near field zone, the radiated fields, the wave impedance and the power density present a specific behavior. It developed...
A new workplace survey by CIGNA Behavioral Health points to mounting economic and world tensions that have led many American workers to contemplate significant changes in their lives. With retirement nest eggs cracking, job security waning, and terrorist threats still on the radar screen, employees are facing stresses that are...

Enhancing the efficiency of soil water removal on land already containing a subsurface drainage system typically involves installing new drain lines between the old ones. However, before this approach can be attempted, the older drainage pipes need to be located. Previous research found that a geophysical method, ground penetrating radar...
The number one attribute when buying a car is still appearance or style. The data given in the article shows that consumers rank safety at number four or five. But that attitude may be changing. There is growing evidence that safety is becoming more important to consumers around the world....
