^ No, i havent used a computer in months!

Will check it out when next i do.

Asymmetric Warfare

Force Projection

(FG might as well use PMCs instead of the USMC)

Isovector movement - still not exactly sure what it means but it seems to mean movement out-of-phase in tandem. Apparently, the word isovector is used in Particle Physics to represent the vector transformation of a particle under isospin (whatever that means!).

Ever wondered what the future of search engines hold? Wolfram Alpha is not semantic based engine like Google and actually calculates answers to your questions.

Started a thread on it in the Education section:

^ I checked the site now and was stunned at its simplicity. Lazy students just got another quick-fix tool.

Lazy?
Grunt work is no longer fashionable, ogbeni. With more information you can move faster, do things more independently, and cheaper.
I'd say it's the 'knowledge hawkers' that are rapidly going out of business, thanks to the Internet's evolution.

^ Lol. The students (lazy) I know will solve thier questions with this tool. Infact objective questions just got easier.

Collimated light - light with parallel rays

Emulsification - mixture of two or more liquids that to are immiscible to attain homogeneity. For example, mixing oil and water into a stable solution that cannot be readily separated.

Rarefaction Wave – decompression stage or negative pressure of a wave.

Cavitation Effect – implosion of bubbles when a liquid is subjected to rapid pressure changes.

I want your JOB!LOL I love learning.

MIMO Systems - Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output antennas at both the transmitter and receiver to improve communication performance over a channel.

Trying to understand exactly how it works and how the spectral efficiency during channel coding can be improved upon.

I googled/wikied SDLC- System Development Life Cycle...I ended up refreshing my brain.

Discotic liquid crystals - have similar potential to the conducting polymers for their use in photovoltaic cells, they have the same technical challenges of low conductivity and sensitivity to UV damage as the polymer designs.

Trying to understand the structural significance of differently layers of a nano-structure solar cell (too Chemistry-related for me!).

Trying to figure out if there are any structural differences between an oxide layer formed by anodizing vs photolithography.

Answer: I have no clue! I need to find a semiconductor expert real quick!

Information Entropy- the measure of randomness/unpredictability in a system.
Trying to see how a passphrase generator has high entropy in wireless security.

TD-SCDMA - Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access, which is apparently CDMA + TDMA = clusterfuck.

What makes you communicate is what you calling that name?

Peltier effect - creation of heat differential between two surfaces when electric energy is applied (thermoelectric cooling).

Yep because in my not-so-humble opinion that's what it is. It is a protocol created out of desperation to bypass the paying of 3G licensing fees, which means they went about a roundabout way of solving a non-existent problem creating unnecessary complication as a result.

Cosigned.
Also known as UMTS-TDD. Wideband CDMA based on time slot management

Dielectrophoresis - force applied to particles when subjected to non-uniform (AC) electric field.

In my particular situation, dielectrophoresis is used to trap and release bioparticles (cells) on chips. One example of where this Lab-On-Chip technology is used is in blood sugar testing devices for people with diabetes that only require a tiny amount of blood.

Isoelectric point (IEP) - a point that carries no net electric charge.

I'm working on an invention that uses isoelectric points between QRS waves of an EKG signal of the heart to detect myocardial infarction (heart attack) using a pacemaker-like device.


If I can keep these postings up, it will be interesting for me to go back in a few years to re-read all the obscure things that I’ve worked on. This might just shape up to serve as my own personal diary of knowledge acquired (and probably lost) over the years since I’m the only one posting:-)

Maybe you're the only 'knowledge worker' on this thread

I googled "oxymoron"

Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB) - a cardiac abnormality seen on an electrocardiogram (ECG) caused by the delay in activation of the left ventricle that causes the left ventricle to contract later than the right ventricle.

XPIC: Cross Polarization Interference Cancellation

For a few months I have been deploying microwave transmission systems that use this XPIC feature.
Essentially it's all about how a microwave path can effectively double its capacity (in Megabits per second) by assignment of the same frequency to both a vertical & horizontal polarization on a path, with sufficient seperation between both polarizations (typically > 30dB)such that interference is avoided. This being achieved by employing both polarizations on the same physical antenna (dish), simultaneously connected to two different radio units.

Benefits:
(1) For subscribers: Provides a transport capacity that can meet the growing demands of subscribers with bandwidth-hungry mobile devices and applications (especially for 4G LTE data rates).
(2) For operators: Maximize spectral efficiency of allocated frequency.

The antennas are oriented 90 degrees from each other?

High electron mobility transistor (HEMT) - a field effect transistor incorporating a junction between two materials with different band gaps as the channel instead of a doped region. As a result, HEMTs can operate at a higher frequency than ordinary transistors and are used in devices like cell phones, satellite receivers, etc.

Working on an invention that increases the breakdown voltage of HEMTs.

Lovely thread..........added to my bookmarks.I researched on "Witricity" today
