The thing I like is that Bill Atkinson didn't spit the dummy when he didn't get the expected reception to his ovals. Instead he took on the challenge of round rectangles and came up with a solution.

There was a mood change in Australia, with all sides of politics wanting Assange's case to be closed [1]. Consequently in the last 12 months there has been pressure from Australia, on its "five eyes" US and UK partners, to c

If you can cast a diffraction grating into chocolate, it should also be possible to cast a reflective hologram. Holding a block of chocolate up to light and seeing a 3D image would be pretty cool.

A typical person's head will explode at the mention of the words "cache" and "server". They will then go into a blind panic that their data is going to be "permanently deleted".

Do a search on "Richard Scolyer", and you will get the details. This is the real deal. Prof. Scolyer and his team are world leaders in treating melanoma with immunotherapy, which they took from a less than 10% to greater than 50%

sin and cos are often used to rotate vectors. In these cases, a trick with a CORDIC is to avoid the traditional sin/cos/multiply calculation by using the vector to be rotated as the input to the CORDIC. The CORDIC will directly

Also, codec2 is a vocoder, meaning it is specialised to compressing speech. Give it any old 8kHz sampled audio and it probably wouldn't sound so good.

I get where you're coming from too. I felt the need to mention the difference as so many people equate beamforming with MIMO and claim that there is no difference, when in fact that difference, which Foschini discovered in 1996, is res
