The NASA Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) Technology Experiment for X-37 was intended to run IVHM software on board the X-37 spacecraft. The X-37 is an unpiloted vehicle designed to orbit the Earth for up to 21days before landing on a runway.

The objectives of the experiment were to demonstrate the benefits of in-flight IVHM to the operation of a Reusable Launch Vehicle, to advance the Technology Readiness Level of this IVHM technology within a flight environment, and to demonstrate that the IVHM software could operate on the Veh ....etc

1. INTRODUCTION

GLOBAL Positioning System (GPS) receivers for the consumer market require solutions that are compact, cheap, and low power. Manufacturers of cellular telephones, portable computers, watches, and other mobile devices are looking for ways to embed GPS into their products. Thus, there is a strong motivation to provide highly integrated solutions at the lowest possible power consumption. GPS radios consist of a front-end and a digital baseband section incorporating a digital processor. While for the baseband processor, cost-reduc ....etc

Wireless Integrated Network Sensors (WINS) now provide a new monitoring and control capability for monitoring the borders of the country. Using this concept we can easily identify a stranger or some terrorists entering the border. The border area is divided into number of nodes. Each node is in contact with each other and with the main node.

The noise produced by the foot-steps of the stranger is collected using the sensor. This sensed signal is then converted into power spectral density and the compared with reference value of our convenien ....etc

Embryonics is embryonic electronics. Working of multicellular organization in living beings suggests that concepts from biology can be applied to development of new embryonic integrated circuits. The final objective is the development of VLSI circuits that can partially reconstruct themselves in case of a minor fault (self-repair) or completely reconstruct the original device in case of major fault (self-replication). These features are advantageous for applications depending on high reliability, like avionics and medical electron ....etc

IBM has created evolutionary solutions for data networks in anticipation of the dynamic trends and business advantages of integrating voice onto data networks. IBM's strategy is to provide high quality equipment and services with cost saving implementations that enable networks either to be upgraded using the installed base or architected to start simple and grow fast in cost-effective steps while accommodating new technologies or standards.
Voice and data integration is currently a hot topic within the business community, with its promise of ....etc

i-DEN Integrated Digital Enhanced Network

Integrated Digital Enhanced Network, commonly referred to as iDEN, is a mobile communications technology, developed by Motorola, which provides its users the benefits of a trunked radio and a cellular telephone.

Sprint Nextel is the largest US retailer of iDEN services. iDEN places more users in a given spectral space, compared to analog cellular systems, by using time division multiple access (TDMA). Up to six communication channels share a 25 kHz space ....etc

Divide and conquer has been the underlying principle used to solve many engineering and social problems. Over many years engineers have devised systematic ways to divide a design objective into a collection of smaller projects and tasks defined at multiple levels of abstraction. This approach has been quite successful in an environment where a large number of people with different types and levels of expertise work together to realize a given objective in a limited time. Communication system design is a perfect example of this pro ....etc

Integrated Marketing Communications

Customers today, many a times receive a fragmented and vague picture of the Brand. Why? The reason being, firms are unable to integrate all of their marketing efforts over a period of time.

The sales and sales promotion aspects are managed by the sales department; advertising is outsourced to the ad agencies, and the direct marketing and PR by other functionaries.

The emerging concept of IMC (Integrated Marketing Communications) aims at addressing this iss ....etc

Introduction

In power electronics, solid-state electronics is used for the control and conversion of electric power .The goal of power electronics is to realize power conversion from electrical source to an electrical load in a highly efficient, highly reliable and cost effective way. Power electronics modules are key units in a power electronics system. These modules contain integration of power switches and associated electronic circuitry for drive control and protection and other passive components.

During the past decades, power devi ....etc
