Latency is probably the crucial specification here. LTE includes low latency IoT modes, but last I heard getting them to work was an active area of research. Maybe DECT-2020 is the plan B?

I'd agree with the Wikipedia article, that it sounds like MIMO, in that it requires the beam to have a spatial extent. From the Wikipedia article: > can thus access a potentially unbounded set of states That's what people origi

> divide that bandwidth by frequency (like AM and FM) or time Ah. The real magic is when we separate by space (beyond just frequency or time). The ability to do this was discovered relatively recently, in 1996, by a guy called Foschini

It's potentially using a bunch of Matlab toolboxes, being a communications related tool, but it's always worth trying to run Matlab code in GNU Octave. https://octave.org/

If you do that, you can see the "1-ton" rating marked on the trolley. It's possible the original crane was rated higher, but when the trolley needed replacing they just bought the size trolley they needed, leaving the girder

Our local mall has an 8-metre high 20-ton clock sitting in the middle of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornsby_Water_Clock The enclosing Westfield shopping centre is in two halves, and the clock is between them.

Any PN junction is sensitive to light. It's why diodes and chips are in opaque packaging (unless interaction with external light is intentional). Raspberry Pis from around 2015 can be crashed with a flash of light from a xenon bulb, a

Take a leaf from the OH&S book, as OH&S is all about stopping things from happening. Many work places have a huge "Days Since Last Lost Time Accident" sign hanging out the front. It increments every day and the aim is to

AI generation makes words cheap to produce. Cheap words leads to spam. My pessimistic view is that a zero sum game of spam and spam defense is going to become the dominant chatbot application.

In the same vein, a neutron can decay into a proton, an electron and a neutrino (Beta decay), so in some sense the neutral neutron is the combination of an electron and proton. (A connection is there?) In a simplistic way, I see a neutron

Yes. Some blind people report being able to see things with sound and MRI scans show their visual cortex lighting up [1,2,3]. A 2019 paper [4] showed that the visual cortex of a blind echolocating person is lighting up in a comparable way

The world's changed since then. If you go to the right online glasses providers, you can get progressives for much less (<half) than the cost of a pair of single power glasses in a high street store.

DSPs already do something like this, offering the option of saturating arithmetic operations, in addition to the normal modulo arithmetic. It's the operation that's special, not the representation in memory. The normal way to do

There were experiments with wafer scale FPGAs in the 1990s. The idea was that being programmable, the final chip could be programmed to route around defects. Lasers were also used to eliminated defective cells.
