Bougaïeff, Nicolas (2013) An Approach to Composition Based on a Minimal Techno Case Study. Doctoral thesis, University of Huddersfield.
This dissertation examines key issues relating to minimal techno, a sub-genre of electronic dance music (EDM) that emerged in the early 1990s. These key issues are the aesthetics, composition, performance, and technology of minimal techno, as well as the economics of EDM production. The study aims to answer the following question. What is the musical and social significance of minimal techno production and performance?
The study is conducted in two parts. The history of minimal music is traced from Satie in the 1890s to Plastikman in the 1990s, a central contribution to minimal techno. Plastikman is a stage name for the subject of the first part, a case study of minimal techno artist Richie Hawtin. A chapter on Liine, a company I founded with partners including Richie Hawtin, describes the performance software we developed for his 2010-2011 Plastikman Live tour. A chapter on minimal techno performance methods examines the structure of the Ableton Live set created for Plastikman Live. A theory chapter, based on Jacques Attali’s Bruits (2001), studies the relationship between technology, money, power and techno music production on both an individual and
collective scale. The second part provides a detailed commentary on music I composed during the project in response to the theoretical issues raised. A final chapter discusses the overall thesis, and draws conclusions.
Minimal techno, as it is practiced through Liine software, the Plastikman Live show, or through my own productions, is revealed to be a deeply improvisatory form of music. The relationship between body, mind and sound emerges as one of the major themes. Minimal techno production and performance can be seen as a reflection of the profoundly changing relationship between man and digital technology.

This report presents the design of an assistive mobile robot to support people in their everyday activities in office and home environments. The contribution of this project consists in the design of a modular component-based software architecture that provides different abstraction layers on top of Robot Operating System (ROS) to make easier the design and development of service robots with ROS. The first abstraction layer is the COROS framework composed of complementary software sub-systems providing different interfaces between ROS and the client applications. The second abstraction layer is the integration of Web services into ROS to allow client applications to seamlessly and transparently interact with the robot while hiding all implementation details. The proposed software architecture was validated through a experimental prototype of Turtlebot deployed in University campus. Furthermore, we outline the challenges incurred during experimentation and focus on lessons learned throughout the implementation and deployment.
Video 1: Courier Delivery Demonstrator
We designed a software architecture that provides two abstraction layers on top of ROS to make easier the development of distributed applications for service robots. It includes two major layers, namely:
- COROS architecture: which is a component-based software architecture that provides a first abstraction layer on top of ROS composed of modular components to develop cooperative and distributed applications, In particular, we design ROS to JSON interfaces that allows more flexible machine-to-machine communication between heterogeneous end-devices considering the platform independence properties of the JSON. ROS messages are converted from and to JSON format.
- Web Services interfaces: ROS Web services is the second abstraction layer that allow client applications to seamlessly and transparently interact with the robot while hiding all implementation details. Services are made public to client applications, which can be invoked by a Web Service client.
The advantage of our architecture is that it decouples networking, from application logic , and robot control. Each component can be defined and implemented independently of others and can be reused as appropriate in different complex applications.
In what follows, we present the main features of these contributions.
COROS is a new architecture and a development framework that extends ROS to support multi-robots software development. COROS can be seen as an additional abstraction layer on top of ROS that provides primitives to software developers to easily design and implement multi-robot application.
The COROS architecture is based on the concept of multi-agent, where an agent represents an independent entity, typically a robot machine (i.e. Robot Agent) or a monitoring or control workstation (i.e. Monitor Agent).
COROS consists of five layers illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 2 shows the component diagram of the software architecture.
The software system is decomposed into five subsystems (or layers), each of which plays the role of a container of a set of components. These subsystems are:
- Communication Layer: this subsystem was designed to address the communication layer requirement, as it ensures the inter-robot interaction between different agents. It comprises extensible and modular client and server components that enable agents to exchange serialized messages through the network interface using sockets.
- ROS Interaction Layer: this subsystem adds a lightweight layer on top of ROS allowing a seamless inter-process interaction between ROS nodes (processes) defined in the architecture. The main role of this layer is to provide a simple and efficient way to manage the subscribers and the publishers to ROS topics and services. Any node can publish or subscribe to a new topic using both components PublishingManager and SubscriptionManager without having to directly interact with ROS.
- Robot Control Layer: this subsystem also adds a second layer on top of ROS providing a bridge between the local software agents and the physical robots. The role of this layer is to manage the robot configuration and its state. The Robot Controller component provides an abstraction model for any ROS-enabled robot. This component provides several interfaces for controlling and monitoring robots states such as location, published and subscribed topics, provided and used services, etc. This enables to make easier to management of hetero- geneous robots as they adhere to a common component model. Any robot type can be easily configured to provide the interfaces provided by the robot controller components.
- Application Logic Support Layer: this subsystem addresses the problem solving requirements; it encap- sulates all of the components needed to implement a complete multi-robot application. Any new application should reuse and configure the software components to define its proper behaviour. The Agent Operator is the main component of the Application Logic subsystem as it implements the actual behaviour of the applications. This means that every type of received message (through Agent Server Component) triggers the execution of an appropriate function as specified by the application. The Agent Operator uses the Communication subsystem to exchange information with other robotic agents in the environment.
- Knowledge Base Manipulation Layer: This subsystem aims at satisfying knowledge base requirements and maintain an up-to-date information about the robot status and its environment. Usually, the majority of gathered information becomes obsolete from an execution to another. Based on its unique component State Moni- toring, this subsystem provides to others with a useful information and services such as allowing the agent to monitor and control its local state, other agents’ states, the state of the different tasks, and the information about the agent initial configuration.
ROS Web Services
ROS As A Service (RoAAS) was designed to make an abstraction of ROS resources, including topics, services and actions for developers who do not have prior background on robots or on ROS. We retain three major advantages behind exposing ROS as a service following an SOA approach:
- Promote public use of robots: First, non-roboticians programmers will be able to develop applications that communicate with ROS-enabled robots through a service layer. Web services are a possible instance of the service layer that can be used as a mediator between client applications and the ROS ecoystem. In addition users will have the capability of directly interacting with robots through the Internet, and this will enlarge the community of users and applications’ developers.
- Robot-Cloud integration: A second advantage is the integration of the robots into the cloud as the robot can expose its resources as services through the cloud that allows users to virtually access these resources to per- form some actions. For example, in case of surveillance applications, an end-user may want to send a set of UAVs for a mission and control their missions remotely through the cloud. The internal status of the UAVs and their observations will be provided as services to the end-user by the cloud back-end.
- Standard and unified interfaces: it will be possible to develop unified and standard client applications that seamlessly interact with heterogeneous robots provided that they share the same service-oriented interfaces, in- dependently of the implementation details.
Figure 9 depicts the deployment diagram of ROS Web services and illustrates the integration of the Web services’ layers into the ROS-enabled service robot and the client device.

Cumulative effect of Additional Equipment for Telecom Towers (20 June 2023 Agenda deferred to August Council Meeting)
This is called the carriers’ powers and immunities framework.
The carriers' powers and immunities framework is important as it allows for the efficient construction and maintenance of telecommunications networks in a nationally consistent way.
Low-impact facilities are telecommunications equipment that:
- are essential to the efficient operation of telecommunications networks
- have low visual impact, and
- are unlikely to cause significant community disruption during installation or operation.
These laws encourage telecommunications carriers to roll out networks using components that fall within strict type, size, colour and location limitations. For example, telecommunications companies use these powers to install pillars and antennae used to deliver landline and mobile communications services to the community.
They do not allow for the construction of larger infrastructure, such as free standing telecommunications towers or poles.
Approvals for the installation of free standing telecommunications towers and poles are the responsibility of state, territory and local governments. Planning laws generally require a development application to be submitted to the local council and for the council to consult on the application. The Government is not involved in state, territory and local government planning processes." - The carriers' powers and immunities framewor, viewed 22 July 2023, https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/media-communications-arts/phone/telecommunications-infrastructure-deployment/carriers-powers-and-immunities-framework
|eme.gov.au Fact Sheet|
Safe. (fact sheet)
"Australia has strict standards covering acceptable levels of EME from wireless communications. These standards are set by the Australian Radiation Protection andNuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA).
Australia’s strict EME standards were updated by ARPANSA as recently as March 2021, informed by the latest local and international scientific research.
These standards are enforced by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). ACMA checks EME compliance through record audits, investigations, site inspections and testing." - Researched, Regulated & Safe, This factsheet explains the research, regulation and safety of EME from telecommunications in Australia,Download PDF (3.5 MB)
In 2022, telecommunication and digital connectivity are important parts of everyday life and it’s hard to imagine a world without communications technologies as we know them today.
Our experiences through the pandemic meant access to quality and reliable telecommunications services is more important than ever, keeping us connected with family and friends, and enabling many of us to learn and work from home.
While our fixed line internet services stood up well to the pandemic, it has been just as important for telecommunications companies to expand and improve their mobile networks to support our increasing need for digital connectivity.
To make this happen, telecommunications companies often need to install new equipment or deploy new infrastructure in our communities so the services can provide effective coverage and capacity where and when we need it.
It is understandable some people are concerned about the electromagnetic energy (EME) emitted by telecommunications infrastructure, particularly when it is installed nearby in our local communities.
The Australian Government strictly regulates EME emissions to protect the health and safety of all members of the public, while allowing the community to benefit from modern telecommunications.
The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) provides advice to the Australian Government on radiation protection as an independent Government agency that is not affiliated with, or unduly influenced by, the telecommunications industry. In 2021, ARPANSA updated its Standard for Limiting Exposure to Radiofrequency Fields – 100 kHz to 300 GHz (2021) (the Standard), based on the most up-to-date Australian and international peer-reviewed research into EME.
The Standard protects people of all ages and health status against all known adverse health effects from exposure to EME by specifying strict safety limits for exposure levels with which telecommunications services must comply, this includes 5G.
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) sets and actively monitors rules for telecommunications companies to follow based on ARPANSA’s Standard so EME is kept at safe levels. In Australia, all telecommunications infrastructure and equipment must comply with these rules and a series of sanctions can be imposed if these rules aren’t followed.
With these measures in place to ensure that EME exposures from telecommunications infrastructure are below the safety limits, there is no extra safety achieved by requiring transmitters to be located any particular distance from residential areas.
So if there is telecommunications infrastructure near you, not only will you be able to access more reliable connectivity but also find comfort in knowing that the technology making that connection possible is researched, regulated and safe.

"Macro cells are used to deliver mobile and internet services across Australia, including mobile networks and NBN Co’s fixed wireless service. They are often installed as single cylindrical mast or poles usually from 25 metres to 50 metres in height, or lattice towers. Antennas are mounted on the exterior of poles and towers. These installations can provide coverage up to several kilometers in inner city, outer urban and regional areas. - Types of telecommunications infrastructure in Australia. This factsheet describes the different types of telecommunications infrastructure you may see in your community.

Darley Road LEICHHARDT NSW
On behalf of Amplitel, thank you for providing us the opportunity to address the concerns raised by members of the public during the notification period...Health and Safety EME levels, which are based on safety guidelines recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), are set by the Australian
Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) and regulated by the Federal Government’s, Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).
The ACMA’s regulatory arrangements require base stations to comply with the exposure limits set in the relevant Australian safety standard; the Radiation Protection Standard for Limiting Exposure to Radiofrequency Fields – 100 kHz to 300 GHz (2021), known as RPS S-1 or the ARPANSA Standard.
The proposal at Smeeth Road [near Griffith NSW??]has been designed to comply with the relevant Australian safety standard called RPS S-1 or Radiation Protection Series – S1(Standard for Limiting Exposure to Radiofrequency Fields – 100 kHz to 300 GHz). RPS S-1 is set by ARPANSA and is based on the safety guidelines recommended by theInternational Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)....

Subject: Notice of Motion: Cumulative effect of Additional Equipment for Telecom Towers
From: Councillor Marghanita Da Cruz
1. That Council receive a briefing note about proposals for Telecom Towers in our LGA and the regulatory framework.
2. That Council write to the Minister for Telecommunications, copying local federal members, that our residents have concerns about the initial and cumulative radiation from these towers being placed in our densely populated LGA and to advise what Radiation Safeguards are in place regarding ensuring the cumulative radiation effect of the additional equipment and community consultation are met.
Council has received applications from Telecommunication Companies to install Towers in our LGA.
Council can only assess the visual impacts of the Towers,
not the radiation from the initial equipment being installed on the Towers or
cumulative radiation from any additional equipment which is installed in the
'Phone towers and base stations When telcos want to build or install new equipment near you, there are rules they must follow. '
No further comments were required for this Notice of Motion.


Rob McCool said the following quote on a UIUC alumni mailing list we’re both on:
Actually, all things considered, right now is pretty awesome. You can buy a device for about $200 which has more floating point computing power than a Cray did in 1972 and carry it around in your pocket. Its battery can store energy equivalent to a small hand grenade and can run the device for hours without plugging into the wall. And you can use it to communicate with virtually anybody on the planet, sometimes by bouncing radio signals off of aluminum canisters we’ve flung into outer space.
That’s pretty cool.
I totally concur.

While burner phones and disposable phone number have many legitimate uses and can protect your identity, they are not a silver bullet against all tracking. It simply erases the connection between your phone and your real-world identity, reducing the chances of you being accurately identified. However, the credit card you used when you bought your phone and the location of your cell tower may still identify you positively. Not to mention in-store CCTV cameras, voice recordings, and other resources investigators might gather to find out who you are.
Weaknesses of Phone Burner
Since the burner phone is a regular phone, its capabilities are very limited by today’s standards. Most lack cameras or have low quality lenses and image sensors. They either don’t have internet access or have very limited network capabilities. And well, forget about accessing the Apple App Store or Google Play Store on a mid-range phone. The device is only used for phone calls and text messages, for the most part. However, one area where they beat modern smartphones is battery life. Most disposable phones have excellent battery efficiency and can run for days on a single charge.
Where Can You Buy Cheap New Burner Phones?
The best burner phones are the free ones. And the best way to get a free burner phone is to rummage through your old electronics drawer. If you have an old feature phone from before the advent of smartphones, it’s probably the best burner phone you’ve ever used. Well, if it still works, get a prepaid SIM from a compatible carrier, and you’re good to go. You may need to replace the battery, but doing so on older feature phones is very easy.
If you can’t find an old phone in your collection, you can get one from eBay. However, if you buy a used device, make sure that it works and that the battery can actually last for a working day. You can also find new feature phones on Amazon or Newegg. Nokia, Alcatel, BLU, and many Chinese brands sell feature phones at almost bargain prices.

Imagine a future world where trucks without drivers autonomously form a long cue on the motorway and are able to transport a large volume of goods with minimal human intervention. In addition, tracking devices could be placed within sea containers to carry large amounts of data about the load that could increase the processing speed of harbors. In this future, an interplay exists between wireless technology and the Traffic and Logistics sector. The sketched situations sound utopian and technologically advanced, but it could be possible with the creation of fifth generation cellular internet, commonly known as 5G.
Every ten years a new wireless internet generation is introduced to the consumer. It is expected that 5G, the successor of 4G, will possess elements that can create the aforementioned situations. One of 5G’s characteristics allows for data can be transferred directly between devices at high speeds. A 5G test lab will be created in Noord-Groningen, allowing the rural municipalities to use the 5G network 5 years before it will be available in the rest of the Netherlands. With our project, we investigate what possibilities could be realized by companies in the Traffic and Logistics industry in Noord-Groningen that wish to use 5G. Our clients TNO and the Economic Board of Groningen are hoping to set up a running pilot in Groningen by 2017.


How to build an advanced TV transmitter with sounds?
This schmetic consists of the two sections: the one seems to be a video transmitter while the other is for audio amplifying. In fact, however, these are both transmitters. The main one generates video carrier while the smaller one generates the exact 4.5 (5.5 in some countries) MHz FM audio carrier. When it is supplied to the main section, the conbination generates the audio carrier that is the total of the video frequency plus 4.5 MHz (this is the same in the US but different in other countries: 3.5 in the UK, 5.0 in Italy, 5.5 in Australia and so on: see the channel plans). In the Japan TV plan at the 2nd channel, for instance, the video carrier is 97.31MHz and the audio carrier is 101.75MHz. Therefore 101.75 - 97.31 = 4.5.
I have been trying to design the 4.5 MHz transmitter without any special tools such as a frequency counter. So far, I didn't succeed in. In order to get the exact 4.5 MHz, you have to use a frequency counter (you can use a tester with such a function). Also, you have to be patient to get the 4.5 MHz by your cut-and-try works. I will explain how to do:
(1)The main section and (2)The audio section.

What is OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol)?
Chances are you've already heard about the emergence of OSDP (or Open Supervised Device Protocol), but you may be wondering what all the hype is about. In this article, we give you an overview on Wiegand technology and explain how OSDP works in comparison to Wiegand. We'll discuss the benefits, outline why OSDP is a better option than Wiegand to protect a site, and settle the OSDP vs Wiegand debate once and for all.
Important: This article focuses on the benefits of OSDP over Wiegand. We continue to recommend ICT's proprietary RS-485 protocol as the AES-256 encryption it provides is more secure than the AES-128 encryption of OSDP. However when compatibility with other systems is required, OSDP now gives you a secure alternative.
Overview and History
Many businesses around the world have been relying on technology to secure their premises that hasn't changed for almost 40 years.
In 1975, German born scientist John R Wiegand discovered the Wiegand effect and patented the technology. His specially treated wires produced magnetic fields which were used to create a card and reader that could talk to each other. This became one of the earliest technologies to emerge in modern access control.
Wiegand technology was state of the art when introduced in the ’80s, but it’s unencrypted and unsecured and has since been shown to have massive security flaws against today’s modern security demands. It is susceptible to both man in the middle and replay attacks, leaving your access control open and vulnerable. You can attack a site with cheap, easily obtainable equipment, and there are plenty of demonstrations online showing this can be achieved in seconds.
There was also much confusion among people with only basic knowledge of access control and security as the name ‘Wiegand’ was applied to three different areas of technology: cards and readers, the hardware interface, and the binary data format.
Development of OSDP
In response to Wiegand’s failings, the development of OSDP brought secure communications between devices to access control. The SIA (Security Industry Association) has since adopted and driven the OSDP technology. In May 2020 the protocol became an internationally recognized IEC standard, and OSDP v2.2, which is based on this standard, was released in December 2020.
OSDP is an open-source protocol that aims to improve interoperability among access control and security products. Compared to Wiegand, OSDP also adds encryption, much higher levels of security, plus a lot more functionality and futureproofing. However, even in 2019, 84% of integrators still used Wiegand over OSDP.
Benefits of OSDP
OSDP has many benefits for both integrators and end-users when compared to Wiegand, including:
OSDP uses RS-485 protocols for secure channel communication with AES-128 encryption. This means you could pair an OSDP reader with a MIFARE DESFire card and an ICT Protege controller to create a totally encrypted communications path from the card to the server.
With Wiegand, data transmission is one-way only, meaning the controller is unable to ‘talk’ to the reader – it can only listen. OSDP allows bi-directional (or full-duplex) communication. Communication is also constant, which means that any interference with the reader cabling will be detected in seconds.
More Cost Effective To Install
OSDP only requires 2 wires to transfer data, saving you time and enabling multi-drop installations. Using a twisted pair cable for data transmission also allows for 6x the wiring length versus Wiegand, so you can safely run a cable up to 900 meters (about 3000 feet) instead of 150 meters (500 feet).
Being an open-source protocol, OSDP means readers and access control panels can now talk to products from different manufacturers.
If you are not already convinced about why OSDP is better than Wiegand, then imagine what this could mean. The interoperability of OSDP makes it easy to team up ICT's tSec Readers with an existing access control system, or to use third-party OSDP card readers with your Protege system. Add increased security to the time and labor costs saved at installation and there is no contest.
If you want a non technical comparison of how OSDP stacks up against Wiegand, think of Wiegand as a bit like throwing a big party and using your partner’s cousin Bill as the bouncer. He stops most people at the front door, but he’s easily fooled. Show any type of fake ID and Bill will just say “come on in!” By comparison, OSDP is like stationing 2 armed guards at the front door of the party. Not only do they accompany you from your car to the door, they use a secure satellite uplink to check your date of birth and ensure your ID is legitimate. And watch out if the ID is fake or you’re not supposed to be there - they won’t back down.
Implementing OSDP with ICT products
Protege controllers and reader expanders support connection to third-party readers using OSDP. You can also configure certain tSec Readers to communicate with an existing access control system via OSDP, which when combined with ICT mobile credentials also enables secure door unlocking using your smartphone.
For more information on implementing OSDP with ICT products, refer to the following application notes:
- AN-254: Configuring OSDP Readers in Protege
- AN-321: Configuring tSec Multi-Technology Card Readers for OSDP Communication
You can also watch as Regional Sales Manager Shaun Gardner takes you through OSDP.


In other Windows versions, the connection errors 800, 794 or 809 may evidence the same problem.
It is worth to note that the VPN server is behind a NAT, and the router is configured to forward L2TP ports (TCP 1701, UDP 500, UDP 4500 and Protocol 50 ESP).
As it turned out, the problem is already known and described in the article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/926179. If the L2TP/IPsec VPN server is behind a NAT device, in order to connect external clients through NAT correctly, you have to make some changes to the registry both on the server and client side that enable UDP packet encapsulation for L2TP and NAT-T support for IPsec.
- Open the Registry Editor and go to the following registry key:
- Windows 10,8,7, Vista — HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PolicyAgent
- Windows XP — HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\IPSec
- Create a DWORD parameter with the name AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule and the value 2. Or use the command:
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PolicyAgent /v AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule /t REG_DWORD /d 0x2 /f
. Possible AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule values are:
- 0 – (a default value) suggests that the server is connected to the Internet without any NAT;
- 1 – the server is behind a NAT device
- 2 —both a server and a client are behind a NAT
- Just restart your computer and make sure that the VPN tunnel is established successfully.


Here we listed some common questions related to our SiliconWaveTM transducers.
If you have further questions, feel free to email us at email@example.com.
SiliconWaveTM technology provides a new generation of ultrasound transducers developed by Kolo Medical using a silicon array instead of PZT material. SiliconWaveTM is based on a process of development called Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasound Transducers more commonly known as CMUT technology. By leveraging the mature and powerful semiconductor technology and our industry leading CMUT IP portfolio, SiliconWaveTM transducers become the first practical alternative to PZT transducers.
Although SiliconWaveTM transducers provide equal or better overall imaging and diagnostic performance due to their inherent broad bandwidth when compared with PZT transducers, their greatest advantage is in providing new applications in medical areas and beyond. SiliconWaveTM transducers overcome the limits of current PZT transducer technology relative to device size, cost, yield, ASIC integration, and heat generation.
SiliconWaveTM technology offers a better and more cost-effective method of producing 1.5 and 2D arrays. Compared with PZT, there are almost no limits on the pattern or shape of the multi-dimensional silicon array providing a more customized product for specific applications.
A SiliconWaveTM matrix transducer has the ability to transmit and receive at different frequencies simultaneously unlike a PZT matrix transducer where all elements transmit and receive at the same frequency determined by the thickness of the ceramic. By allowing the outer row of elements to transmit and receive at a lower frequency than the center row of elements, it is now possible to develop a transducer for multiple applications thus truly developing the first One-Probe Solution in ultrasound imaging.
By using advanced semiconductor packaging methods, the silicon array can be combined with Integrated Circuits at the wafer-level in the foundry. This allows the ASICS to be placed directly behind the array to support partial beam-forming in the transducer improving SNR and ultimately the overall image quality.
Increased heat production in a PZT array creates thermal limits in color Doppler imaging resulting in a loss of sensitivity in detecting slow or low flow states. Because a SiliconWaveTM transducer does not produce heat, thermal limits in color Doppler are not reached. This low heat property is also an advantage for use in catheters or other invasive applications such as endoscopic imaging arrays and may be very beneficial in micro-vascularization detection and elastography.
SiliconWaveTM transducers offer unique advantages in ultra-high frequency imaging. By using the semiconductor manufacturing process, the accuracy of maintaining critical geometries with high yield required by ultra-high frequency arrays is achieved. Using this manufacturing method, current transducers with central frequencies of 15MHz, 22MHz, and 30MHz have been developed.
Silicon technology design flexibility and negligible heat production make SiliconWaveTM transducers a better option for catheter and other invasive applications, endoscopic instruments with imaging arrays, and new applications for high frequency imaging for dermatology, rheumatology, MSK, IVUS, ICE and others.
By leveraging semiconductor manufacturing methods for fabrication and packaging and by using MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) technology, SiliconWaveTM transducer production is not limited by element number, dimension, or array shape. Using advanced MEMS technology, the flexible array is possible. In order to address the needs of existing and new applications such as IVUS, ICE, and some surgical guidance requirements, Kolo engineering has designed a 360° cylindrical array with a diameter of 1mm.
SiliconWaveTM transducers offer plug and play capability. Using the connector specific to your system, Kolo transducers are easily adaptable to most current and future platforms.
The founders of Kolo Medical were part of the early development of CMUT at Stanford University. They realized the challenges of the existing technology, mainly sensitivity and reliability, which limits the commercialization of the CMUT technology. Kolo’s founding members invented the proprietary technology to address the limiting CMUT issues by balancing the electrical field and efficiency in the CMUT. This innovative approach not only overcame the challenges of this technology but Kolo Medical is the only company to offer a line of SiliconWaveTM transducers for commercial use.
The evaluation of a SiliconWaveTM transducer is straightforward. The connector requires a 3-12V voltage supplier for the bias and then the Kolo transducer is plug and play ready like a PZT transducer.
However, it is preferred that both engineering teams work together to ensure the best integration setup, mainly for impedance match, to optimize the clinical imaging performance.
Currently, Kolo is working with several OEM engineering teams not only to properly connect our transducers to their systems but to optimize imaging performance to achieve maximum clinical acceptance.
Over 10,000 per year.
Using CMUT chips with backing to ensure their robustness, all of our SiliconWaveTM transducer designs pass the standard industry drop test.

When you connect an external components device to a computer, it often needs a software drivers for the hardware to communicate with the operating system. Without the proper individuals, a device might not function effectively or by any means. Software drivers are essential computer programs that allow external and internal computer hardware to contact the operating system, a key component belonging to the system’s application architecture.
If the device is certainly an internal computer component just like the central developing unit, random access storage or a online video card, or perhaps an external peripheral such as a printing device or computer keyboard, it has to include a specific program driver to work. This computer software sits https://utsdriver.com between the components device and the OPERATING-SYSTEM, converting generic instructions through the program in specific ones for that particular device. This can be necessary since software applications not necessarily written running every brand name of hardware, but the particular one they were designed for.
The technology drivers also help the OS keep an eye on hardware products and their functions, ensuring they all interact correctly. Nearly all types of hardware use software drivers to job, including the central processing device, hard disk drive and random gain access to memory.
A lot of hardware creators include a small software application with the devices that may check for program driver changes and notify you when an update is available. You can also use an over the internet driver bring up to date tool to automatically find the latest edition of a new driver. However , when using any of these tools it is a good idea to generate a System Restore level before setting up the new new driver.


A US company claims it is ready to build a microwave ray gun able to beam sounds directly into people's heads.
The device – dubbed MEDUSA (Mob Excess Deterrent Using Silent Audio) – exploits the microwave audio effect, in which short microwave pulses rapidly heat tissue, causing a shockwave inside the skull that can be detected by the ears. A series of pulses can be transmitted to produce recognisable sounds.
The device is aimed for military or crowd-control applications, but may have other uses...

Local chat is a very simple ‘irc-ish’ chat system over a Unix socket for a single computer/server. The target for this software is for headless servers allowing admins or other users to easily communicate on the console.
First the chat daemon needs to be started. It should be started with it’s own system user and all the users that will be using the chat system should have a common group.
To start the server as a daemon with a unix socket at
/var/lib/lchat/sock for the group ‘users’.
lchatd -d -g users lchatd -d -s /var/lib/lchat/sock -g users
To use that chat system any user in the ‘users’ group can now simply use the lchat program.
lchat lchat -s /var/lib/lchat/sock
There is no real protocol involved. Basically what you type is sent exactly as is with a little bit of markup to control the message dispatching. To send a message to everyone, simple type a line and hit enter.
> Hello everybody
There are a limited set of commands that can be sent to the server. Commands start with a forward slash
This will return a help message on how to use the chat system.
> /msg root I wish I had your power! > /priv root I wish I had your power! > /query root I wish I had your power!
These will send the private message “I wish I had your power!” to the root user.
> /version > /about
This will return the version of the chat server.
This will return a list of all the users currently connected to the chat server.
> /exit > /quit
This will tell the server to close the connection with the client.
When the server dispatches a message, it may add some formatting to it to indicate it’s source. Normal messages have the senders name with a colon prepended to it.
root: So much responsiblity
/help command is used, the messages from the server will start with a question mark
"?" to indicate it as a help message.
? Type '/help' to get a list of chat commands.
Private messages are prepended with a exclamation mark
"!" then the senders name with a colon. The message will be also be sent to the original sender with a caret
"^" prepended to the name. This is to make the conversation consistent within the chat window.
> root: I wish I had your power ! ron: I wish I had your power ! ^root: I wish I had your power
Bots and Scripts
With in shell scripts your messages can be sent to the local chat room with the lchat client. For example you can display the systems
uptime as follows:
lchat -m "$(uptime)"
Bots can be created fairly easily with shell scripts as well using the lchat client. lchat takes care of the chat room connection redirecting the standard in and out of the bot to the chat room. The bot reads its input for received chat messages and writes to its output to send messages to the chat.
lchat -b 'my_bot.sh'
Installing on Debian Systems
# Download and install the public key to verify deb packages. sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.openpgp.org \ --recv-keys 7B86848C194CE861 # As root add the repository to apt. # For Debian 9 (Stretch) echo "deb https://apt.digitalcombine.ca/stretch stretch main" > \ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/digitalcombine.list # For Debian 10 (Buster) echo "deb https://apt.digitalcombine.ca/buster buster main" > \ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/digitalcombine.list chmod 0644 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/digitalcombine.list # Update apt! sudo apt update sudo apt install lchat
Building from Source
- Build tools for automake and c++
- Ncurses with wide character support. It should still build without wide character support, but unicode will not be available without it.
Download the source and unpack it.
tar -xvf lchat-1.5.5.tar.gz cd lchat-1.5.5
Next the source needs to be configured. If your on a systemd system them the configure option
--with-systemd can be used to automatically manage the chat server.
./configure ./configure --with-systemd ./configure --help
Now simply use make to build and install the software.
make make install

Nothing replaces face-to-face interaction with customers, partners, and co-workers. However, video conferencing can help increase interaction with the ability to instantly connect with clients and coworkers in other parts of the country or world without the need for costly travel. By eliminating geographical restrictions, management, employees and even clients can conduct simultaneous communication and collaboration on time sensitive projects. Decisions are made faster, giving your company a competitive advantage.
Video conferencing is also more personal than a phone call or email. A high percentage of communication is through non-verbal cues, so seeing the presenter can give participants much more information. It also means that visual aids can be easily used, which speeds up the process of explaining complicated processes or demonstrations. Video conferences can also be recorded and made available for training and education purposes without the need for multiple meetings covering the same information for different groups.


The Digital Sand Model Technology by VizExperts
VizExperts’, a 10 year technology startup has taken the Indian defense market by storm with its indigenous flagship product Digital Sand Model, an integrated OGC certified integrated 3D GIS solution. The Digital Sand Model Technology is an integration of four different technologies – 3D graphics, high resolution satellite data, simulation and GIS (Geographical Information System). The technology relies on the GeorbIS 3D GIS platform to record information on different terrains and also makes use of audio visual hardware. This technology helps to give improved situational awareness to the armed forces.
The Digital Sand Model Technology was deployed successfully at the Border Security Force HQ, New Delhi, helps in operation planning, mission briefing and training for all the security forces including the Indian paramilitary, police and the armed forces. The BSF has used this technology succesfully to gain information on various terrains and to obtain a direct feed the situation in any terrain. The start-up was recognised for its services to the BSF during the farewell ceremony organised for DK Pathak, Deputy General, BSF at Shaheed RK Wadhwa Parade ground.
BSF officials congratulated VizExperts for their efforts and contribution. Further they stated that the Digital Sand Model technology along with the OPS Information System deployed at BSF Integrated OPS room by VizExperts, would be very useful for BSF and other forces, for better situational awareness, operation planning and informed decision making.


This weekend, I setup a Wireless Ethernet Bridge.
What the heck, I hear you say! I’d better explain why I did this, and what it actually means.
I have a wireless network in the house that extends to a large part of the rooms. Unfortunately we have thick walls and ceilings with a lot of steel-reenforced concrete, and this causes less-than-ideal wireless reception in parts of the house. The thick concrete walls do not invite drilling a lot of holes for CAT5 cables. I had to think of something else that minimized the drilling of holes and still gave me a network that covers all of the house.
I have been using a WRT54GL (its selling point being that it can easily be flashed with alternative Linux based firmware) until now. This gave me a wireless speed of 54 Mbit/sec (802.11g) maximum. I have flashed this router with an alternative firmware, tomato, which really helped me getting my Internet router stable and feature-rich while at the same time I was able to raise the transmission power a bit… but not enough.
So what I did was to buy a new wireless dual-band router with 802.11n speeds (300 Mbit/sec) which gives the existing wireless LAN a boost. This new router had to be capable of running tomato firmware too (because I am fond of it) and the dual-band gave me a way to leverage the old WRT54GL without killing the speeds of the larger wireless LAN: a dual-band router basically has two wireless access points built-in. I found the Cisco/Linksys E3000EW at a very interesting price (it is being followed up by a new device, the E4200). It also has an USB port (for connecting a hard drive or a printer) and I found that the tomatousb firmware (a successful mod of the tomato firmware) fully supports this device.
The E3000EW was switched on and two minutes later, the poor bugger was running tomato firmware! A firmware upgrade through HTTP upload using the standard Linksys firmware worked flawlessly.
Now the first task was to copy the configuration of the old WRT54GL to the new E3000EW. That was not too hard. AlsoI setup the two internal access points with two different ESSIDS of course. Then I quickly swapped the two (after “cloning” the WAN MAC address so that I would not have to go through my ISP’s provisioning setup again) and I had freed the WRT54GL for re-configuration into a Wireless Ethernet Bridge.
What was my plan? To position the WRT54GL in the house, nearby the area where wireless signals were weak because of the steel and concrete. Its position would be where I do have a good wireless connectivity. From that point on, I would run CAT5 cable from the WRT54GL to the computers that needed to be connected. This would mean, much less cable and much less drilling.
Actually, that was the final plan, which I implemented. Originally I wanted to create a distributed wireless network using WDS, which is a technique (supported by the tomato firmware) to connect multiple wireless access points. However, when I started reading about these techniques, it turned out that WDS effectively cuts your wireless network speeds in half with every “hop” that you create in your network. And I was not prepared for lower speeds… even though the advantage would be that I did not have to run new CAT5 cables. Access points with WDS still accept client connections, so all I would have to do was put the second AP in a location where it gave good coverage to the computers that suffered from problematic wireless reception.
The thing with Wireless Ethernet Bridging (WET) is this: the second Access Point, deployed to connect to the “master” and create the bridge, dedicates its wireless link to that bridged connection. It will no longer accept connections from wireless clients. It means that the computers need to connect to it using conventional cable!
It was a matter of weighing the pros and the cons. I decided on creating the bridge and using cables, because that would keep the maximum network speed acceptible.
So the old WRT54GL was reconfigured (using a network cable of course, you can not do this wirelessly). And it works surprisingly well! I am writing this article while my laptop is connected to this device using a cable and the traffic is bridged across the air. So, whoopee!
There are a few gotcha’s that I ran into, before I finally found out what it takes to successfully create a wireless bridge.
- The “master” router (the E3000EW in this case) needs to be configured as a Wireless Access Point – that is the default, so I could leave that one alone.
- The secondary router (the WRT54GL) needs to be configured, not as a gateway but as a router (in the tomato’s Advanced > Routing menu) or else your traffic is not going to reach the “master” router at the other end of the bridge.
- The wireless security must be set to “WPA Personal”, with AES encryption (in the tomato’s Basic > Network menu). I had left this setting to “WPA/WPA2 Personal” at first, using AES for ecryption (this was what I used when the WRT54GL was still my Internet router), and it would refuse to connect to the wireless master. If you look more closely to the dropdown menu for the security settings, you’ll see that the tomato warns that WPA is the only accepted choice…
- The WRT54GL can function as a wireless bridge without having an IP address assigned to it. However, you lose the ability to make a HTTP connection to the administrative interface – and someday that will prove to be very inconvenient. So I gave the router an unused IP address from my LAN address range.
Remember, when you setup a bridge, you are extending your network transparently. A network bridge passes network packets back and forth without dividing the network in two segments. Computers in the LAN will be unaware of the bridged connection – it does not show up in a traceroute. There is another solution for my problem that I have not gone deeper into, and that is to setup the WRT54GL as a “wireless client”. This creates a new network segment though… which requires that you run a DHCP server on the WRT54GL for the wired client computers that you connect to the device.
And yet another option is to install the “dd-wrt” firmware and configure the WRT54GL as a Wireless Repeater which allows you to connect your computers wirelessly to the device… but dd-wrt is not nearly as userfriendly as tomato. Pick your choice.
This is the network diagram I ended up with (courtesy of oldspeak where I also obtained the final piece of the puzzle):
And what about powerline / homeplug, you ask?
I have considered that, and sometime ago, when my wireless conneciton problems became aggravating, I even wanted to buy a set of 200 Mbit Devolo mini adapters. They would give me 100 Mbit effective network speeds, but I still would have to buy a second wireless access point if I wanted to extend my wireless LAN, or else I would have had to use conventional cable. That made me decide to pick the geeky solution.

HNSciCloud use cases
HNSciCloud Early Adopter group of research organisations tested the HNSciCloud pilot platform services in different use cases. Goals, challenges and benefits of each use case are presented below.
LOFAR (Low Frequency Array) is the first of a new kind of telescope that uses an array of simple omnidirectional antennas as opposed to a dish antenna for mechanical signal processing. The electronic signals obtained from the antennas are digitized and transported to a central digital processor. The antennas are simple enough, but there are a lot of them – and indeed about 7,000 in the full LOFAR design. The main goal of the LOFAR use case is to test, and later put into production, separate location of data storage and computing resources distributed throughout Europe. The Helix Nebula science cloud would grant this opportunity due to the availability of the highspeed network connections of the Geant Cloud VRF infrastructure, and the pricing model based on compute and storage alone. The transparent data access functionality would even increase ease of use.Astronomy

abstract: In this thesis, we describe two sets of experiments using a single crystal neutron interferometer. First, we explore applications of quantum information processing (QIP) to magnetic materials characterization using polarized neutron interferometry (NI). We describe a split path spin-based interferometer geometry that uses the Bragg interferometer to separate two paths where spin states are independently manipulated. The final measurement is made on the spin degree of freedom, so we observe spin-based contrast without a need for coherence in the path degree of freedom. This is difficult to achieve in a spin-echo interferometer because the two paths overlap, with only a time delay of one relative to the other.


Exactly what the Major Aspects of Data Connection?
Data connection refers to the transferring digital bitstreams across point-to-point and network devices. These landline calls can be set up in either parallel or perhaps serial transmission. In seite an seite transmission, a couple of electrical electrical wires are used to give a signal. Usually, these cables are linked to a device like a computer.
Moreover, there are amazing protocols that help increase the efficiency of retransmission. This reduces the overall number of individuals sent.
However , data transfer can lead to information damage. Consequently, a checksum procedure is delivered to detect errors. The checksum number is certainly appended to each packet inside the sequence. If the sum of your packets and the checksum is zero, the error can be indicated.
It is necessary to be aware of timing skew, when this can tainted announcements. In order to avoid this, the recipient should be coordinated with the transmission device. Generally, timing alter tends to intensify as the space between the resource and the vacation spot increases.
For efficient info transmission, the receiver has to be able to read the individual binary bits. This can be possible when the receiver provides proper timing information.
Likewise, the sending device must also be able to identify the errors. This is created by using error-detecting codes. In addition , the device should be able to boost its signal power.
They are the major components of a data interaction system. Nevertheless , the system www.bigdataroom.net/how-to-block-someone-on-hangouts can only job if the process rules are followed. Consequently , it is essential that your communication protocols are defined in advance.


A renowned analyst claims that the next iPhone refresh will include an even better camera for the Pro models, and both will also get Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.
In an investors note seen by 9to5Mac, Jeff Pu from Haitong International Securities suggests that Apple’s 2024 flagship phones will get a display bump to 6.3- and 6.9-inches respectively.
He also writes that the smaller iPhone 16 Pro will gain the same tetra-prism lens as the current 15 Pro Max, giving it a similar 5x optical zoom. However, there is good news for Pro Max users too, as both models are also tipped for an ultra-wide camera boost from 12- to 48-megapixels.
Pu highlights another feature he expects to come to the iPhone 16 Pro family, which perhaps won’t have such obvious benefits for now but could later down the line. The Pro and Pro Max are said to be getting a major connectivity upgrade.
iPhone 16 Pro to get Wi-Fi 7 support?
He says that both devices could well get Wi-Fi 7 wireless connectivity. This means little if you don’t have a Wi-Fi 7 router, but if you do you could potentially get home network speeds of up to 46 Gbps. That’s mammoth.
It won’t mean much when it comes to internet access as users rarely have broadband connections over 1 Gbps at present (in the UK at least). However, it does mean that you can connect to and interact with other devices around the home at superfast speeds.
Wi-Fi 7 is also even more stable than Wi-Fi 6e – as used on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, so there’s that added benefit. And it offers lower latency too.
On top of all this, Pu’s report suggests that the modem will also be boosted, with adoption of the Qualcomm Snapdragon X75. This will enable 5G speeds of up to 7.5 Gbps – again, way beyond any mobile network capabilities in the UK right now.
It’s worth remembering though that these are the predictions of an industry analyst rather than corroborated details or a leak, so much could change between now and next September when we expect the iPhone 16 phones to launch.
Still, they are all achievable and we’ll keep you updated on any further details on Apple’s new devices over the coming months.

I’m not winter’s biggest fan. Days are stingy-short and cold in the Pacific Northwest, making it challenging to get a saline fix. Fortunately, boat-show season provides an opportunity to go somewhere sunny and check out the latest marine electronics offerings, which can be integrated into a yacht’s navigation systems during the offseason. Here’s a look at some exciting new options.
Digital Yacht: Autohelm created the SeaTalk network in the early 1990s to let autopilots access networked navigation information, and SeaTalk served as Autohelm and Raymarine’s proprietary network until its 2012 retirement. This absence created headaches for owners of legacy Raymarine equipment that couldn’t easily be networked with newer NMEA 0183 equipment or personal computers. Now Digital Yacht’s SeaTalk1 to NMEA gateways ($199) delivers bidirectional data conversions between a SeaTalk network and an NMEA 0183 device or network. The company’s ST-NMEA data converter (USB) can be networked to a personal computer, and the ST-NMEA data converter (ISO) connects with Digital Yacht’s wireless NMEA server ($199) to deliver networked data to wireless devices.
Digital Yacht also recently unveiled its AIT5000 Class B automatic information system (AIS) transceiver, broadcasting at 5 watts using the Class B SO scheme, which means it increases its reporting rate as the vessel’s speed increases. The AIT5000 ($1,199) has dual NMEA 0183 and single NMEA 2000 and USB interfaces, Wi-Fi and an optional AIS MOB/SART alarm.
Furuno: For those seeking an integrated communications hub, Furuno’s FM-4800 fixed-mount VHF radio transmits at 25 watts and has built-in Class D digital selective calling (DSC), a 72-channel GPS receiver, an AIS receiver, a 15-watt loudhailer, listen-back functionality and intercom capabilities. The FM-4800 ($750) integrates with Furuno’s NavNet TZtouch or NavNet TZtouch2 multifunction displays, or users can network the FM-4800 to the yacht’s NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 backbone to share the radio’s AIS, DSC and GPS data with other instrumentation. The radio comes with an IP67 environmental rating, has 10 embedded weather channels and — key for anyone transiting the Intracoastal Waterway — has an automatic terminal information service mode. Users can add a Furuno HS-4800 ($280) to unlock the radio’s dual-station capabilities.
Garmin: Garmin has long been a player in the multifunction display and cartography markets, and has extended its flagship GPSMap 8600 series displays with the GPSMap 8610xsv ($2,699), GPSMap 8612xsv ($3,999) and GPSMap 8616xsv ($5,999). Each has edge-to-edge glass monitors with in-plane switching and optically bonded, high-resolution screens; built-in, 1-kilowatt chirp and traditional sonars; and the ability to stream four IP cameras concurrently. These HTML5-friendly displays also have pinch-to-zoom touchscreen interfaces, NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 compatibility, and IPX7 weatherproof protection.
Garmin purchased Navionics in 2017 but kept Garmin’s BlueChart separate from Navionics’ cartography. This relationship changed with the introduction of BlueChart g3 cartography, which blends Garmin and Navionics bathymetry data and features, and is compatible with contemporary Garmin multifunction displays. BlueChart g3 cartography will serve as the base maps for all new GPSMap displays (existing customers will be offered an upgrade), and all BlueChart g3 cartography comes with Garmin’s Auto Guidance capabilities.
Last, Garmin has released its wireless Autopilot Remote. Users point and shoot the Autopilot Remote ($249), and compatible Garmin autopilots will steer toward the corresponding azimuth numbers.
Raymarine: ClearCruise AR, Raymarine’s augmented-reality system, is spinning heads with its promise of increased situational awareness. This three-component system requires a Raymarine Axiom series chart plotter ($849 to $12,299) that’s running Raymarine’s Lighthouse 3.7 (or newer) operating system, a Raymarine AR200 Augmented Reality Sensor Module ($499), and a Raymarine CAM210IP ($699) or CAM220IP ($499) video camera.
The camera delivers live video to the Axiom plotter(s) and then enhances that video with graphical tags that, for example, denote the name of nearby vessels (via networked AIS data), or graphically enhance aids to navigation or user-created waypoints. All information is updated in real time as marine traffic moves, and the system’s video imagery can be stabilized with the AR200’s built-in nine-axis attitude heading reference system.
Simrad: Simrad’s parent company, Navico, has introduced a Halo24 radar for aftermarket consumers. This radome-enclosed radar employs solid-state, pulse-compression technology to harness Simrad’s VelocityTrack (Doppler) processing, graphically differentiating threatening and nonthreatening targets. The Halo24 ($2,699) has Dual Range performance up to 48 nautical miles, and it spins at 60 rpm — rather than its standard 48 rpm — at ranges up to 2 nautical miles to generate near-real-time imagery up close. Finally, the Halo24 can track as many as 10 MARPA targets (per range) and offers modes including harbor, offshore, weather and bird.
Underwater, Simrad’s Active Imaging Sonar technology for GO series chart plotters is available in two models: The three-in-one transducer ($299) combines scanning sonar with traditional medium-frequency and high-frequency chirp sonars, while the stand-alone transducer ($229) has Simrad’s scanning technology and is designed to be used with a separate chirp sounder.
Finally, Simrad has unveiled its RS40 fixed-mount VHF radio, with a dual-channel AIS receiver, an integrated GPS receiver, a dot matrix LCD screen.
Standard Horizon: Powerful things come in small packages, like Standard Horizon’s 8.1-ounce HX40 handheld VHF radio, roughly the size of a deck of cards. The HX40 ($119) has a 1,850-milliamp lithium-polymer battery that delivers 6 watts of transmitting power. Additional features include an FM receiver, a backlit dot matrix display and an intuitive menu. The radio has a preset key that gives fast access to 10 channels.
Stepping up in size and capability, Standard Horizon’s 6-watt HX890 handheld VHF radio has Class H DSC functionality, a built-in 66-channel WAAS GPS receiver, positive buoyancy and a 1,800-milliamp lithium-ion battery. The HX890 ($269) is built to military and IPX8 weatherproof standards, and offers waypoint and route navigation, an FM radio, and a water-activated strobe.
Solid-State Sentry: Blue Guard Innovations has modernized the bilge pump with its Solid-State Bilge Pump Switches, available with or without high-water alarms. These 12- and 24-volt DC switches work with any bilge pump (drawing more than 20 amps) and have no moving parts, a design that should prevent clogging. Users can monitor and control bilge-pump activity via a smartphone and Blue Guard’s BG-Link wireless monitoring system ($695 to $895).
