ip.access signs Femtocell Agreement with Qualcomm

Posted: 15 Sep 2010 09:50 AM PDT

Cambridge, 15 September 2010 – ip.access, the award-winning developer of femtocell and picocell solutions, has signed a femtocell technology development agreement with Qualcomm Incorporated. Terms of the development agreement allow ip.access to develop WCDMA residential and enterprise femtocell products using Qualcomm's Femtocell Station Modem™ (FSM™) chipset platform. ip.access is also a licensee of Qualcomm's femtocell patent licensing program.
Femtocells are low power access points that create a mobile phone signal in homes, offices, shops and other locations that are hard to reach using a regular outdoor mobile phone network. They provide a cost-effective way for mobile network operators to add extra coverage and capacity to their networks, thereby improving their customers' experience of using a mobile phone.
Network operators in North America, Europe and Asia have been accelerating their femtocell deployments in recent months; in June this year, AT&T completed the national rollout across the United States of its own-brand residential femtocell offering, the 3G MicroCell. The AT&T femtocell is built by Cisco using ip.access' Oyster 3G™ femtocell technology.
"Our FSM chipset provides a highly integrated solution including radio frequency capabilities, baseband, network listen, GPS and a 1 GHz SnapdragonTM-based processor," said Ed Knapp, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Qualcomm Flarion Technologies. "The FSM reduces the cost of a femtocell access point while providing best in class interference management techniques and other advancements. ip.access has established a leading position in this exciting new technology area, and we are very pleased to be collaborating with them."
"Femtocells and picocells are becoming an important part of today's 3G networks, and will be increasingly used as part of future network evolutions," said ip.access CEO Stephen Mallinson. "We are now seeing a mature femtocell ecosystem with diversity of supply for all of the key technology components. Qualcomm's expertise, industry knowledge and connections make them a valuable potential supplier for ip.access."

Help Us Spread Word About USA Science & Engineering Festival 2010

Posted: 15 Sep 2010 04:53 AM PDT

CEans,

The founder of USA Science & Engineering Festival 2010, Mr. Larry Bock wrote to me following email and has appealed that all of us help in spreading the word about USA Science & Engineering Festival 2010. I request all of you to forward this mail to all your friends and ask them to forward it to theirs. CE is already an official partner (Platinum) for the festival. Let's make it a huge success!

Bloggers can write about the festival, the details are in mail below -

For the past year I have been organizing the USA Science & Engineering Festival - what I hope will be the country's largest celebration of science and engineering -- a FUN, entertaining, educational and FREE event geared toward reinvigorating the interest of Americans in the Sciences. I have put as much energy and imagination and effort into this as any of the companies I started. And now I need your help getting the word out.

Why is this important?

In a nutshell:
-- according to Nobel Laureate Richard Smalley, by the end of 2010 (just months from now) 90% of the world's scientists and engineers with advanced degrees will live in Asia.
-- 80% of people being trained in the advanced physical sciences in the United States are from abroad.
-- because the opportunities are now greater abroad, we are no longer retaining them in the USA.
-- If we do not turn this trend around, we will have outsourced innovation.

And once we have outsourced innovation, our country's ability to compete will be over. My concern over this is so great that I have devoted the past year and a half (7 days a week 10 hours a day) to organizing this Science Festival.

So why have a Science Festival? Society gets what it celebrates! As a culture, we celebrate movie stars, rock stars and athletes and we generate a lot of them, but we don't celebrate science and engineering.

The Festival is analogous to an art, music or literary Festival but it is focused on Science and Engineering and accomplishes its mission via hands-on demonstrations, fun demos, and presentations including art, music, comedy, film and theatre.

The Festival kicks off in just three weeks, offering over 150 FREE events for the public - all geared toward sparking an interest in Science. I have pulled together over 750 companies, universities, research labs, federal agencies, professional societies, community groups and science outreach organizations.

You can find out all the details at: http://www.usasciencefestival.org

Click on the calendar to see dates, times and descriptions of all the fascinating events and opportunities.

The grand finale will be a two day EXPO on the National Mall in Washington D.C. (and surrounding venues) on October 23-24, 2010--- over 1,500 fun, hands-on interactive activities and 75 stage shows for all ages. There will be stuff for the mildly curious to the science professional. You can learn about fun topics like the science of the magic of Harry Potter, the mathematics of jump roping, the physics of superheroes, the chemistry of Thanksgiving Dinner, the engineering of baseball bats and balls, the science behind special effects in movies, trends in Global Warming, renewable energy sources of the future .... (This is a completely non-profit, non-commercial, fun and educational initiative.)

You can operate state-of-the-art robots, laugh with science comedians, be mesmerized by science magicians and mathemagicians, converse with astronauts, Nobel Laureates, science celebrities like Bill Nye the Science Guy and even scientists of the past, fly a fighter jet simulator, enter a virtual reality environment, be a CSI agent, make a virus out of marshmallows and toothpicks, try your hand at using a surgical robot, discover methods of measuring global warming, learn how to transform your car so it can run off a cuisinart etc.

And --- while having fun --- you can leave with information about science scholarships, internships, mentorship programs, jobs and much more.

But that's not all - there will be 50 satellite events occurring throughout the United States. Look here to view a map of Satellite Events: www.usasciencefestival.org/satellite-event-directory

So, why should you forward this message?

You could be the one who passes it on to the student (or their parent or teacher) who is inspired and excited enough by the science they see to eventually cure AIDS or cancer, solve Global Warming, invent the next source of renewable energy, discover how to extend life or combat world hunger.

We have received bipartisan support for our program from over 100 Senators and Representatives.

Please consider sending this to your employees, colleagues, friends, teachers etc.

You can make a major difference with three easy clicks. Please help me get the word out to everyone you know who might take part -- Hit FORWARD, then insert lots of email addresses, and hit SEND.

Many, many thanks and best regards,

Larry Bock
Executive Director

Oil and Gas investment – Always in demand

Posted: 15 Sep 2010 04:00 AM PDT

Discovery of oil is the main reason behind the success of our industrial civilization. It has almost singlehandedly made all the industrial achievements possible. It can be rightly said that oil is the one of the unavoidable parts of modern society. More than dependence, we are addicted to oil. Despite of all the efforts to lessen its importance and to replace it with a suitable energy resource, no perfect substitute for oil has been discovered so far.

We have been depending on oil and gas products for quite a long time. Substances like petrochemicals, which are obtained from petroleum, have become the most important parts of our everyday life. They have become an unavoidable part of many of the things that we use daily, like fertilizers, detergents, food additives, tires and nail polish.

As the global demand for oil increases day-by-day, an investment in oil resources will help you to achieve the maximum profit in the shortest span of time.

If you are interested in oil and gas investments you can invest in companies, mutual funds or commodities. If you make smart investment plans, you can make a lot of money from this industry. Those who are interested in oil and gas should look in to all these methods, and if possible should check for other possible investment openings too. You can do the needed research and check for the latest World Energy News on oil and gas sector, before investing.

Fujikura Europe to Exhibit New ARC Fusion Splicers at ECOC 2010

Posted: 15 Sep 2010 02:11 AM PDT

Revolutionary "ARCMasterTM" specialty fibre fusion splicer perfect for Factory, Manufacturing, R&D, and Laboratory Environments

15th September, 2010 – Surrey, UK: Fujikura Europe Ltd. (Fujikura Europe Ltd | Home), the world leader in fusion splicing technology, today announced that it will be demonstrating the new FSM-100P ARCMaster fusion splicer at the ECOC 2010 event in Turin in September.

The new fibre optic fusion splicer was recently launched globally, in conjunction with the FSM-100M. Both new specialty fibre fusion splicers offer a host of innovative technologies to address the rapidly expanding splicing needs for factory, manufacturing, laboratory, and R&D applications. The technologically superior splicing machines incorporate multiple pending patents.

"The 100M and 100P series splicers further position Fujikura as the dominant player in the specialty splicer market and we are looking forward to exhibiting the 100P in Turin," said Stephen Rackstraw, European Business Development Manager at Fujikura Europe Ltd. "The ARCMaster series, so called because of the unique capabilities to control the plasma zone of the fusion ARC, is adaptable for a variety of specialty splicing needs, reliable, and consistent in performance, while providing a real value. We will be demonstrating how these capabilities will revolutionise the way users splice various types of specialty fibres: LDF, low contrast PM, holey / micro-structured, etc at ECOC."

Fujikura's new "ARCMaster" splicers are engineered with a robust set of features that offer customers technology and reliability not available elsewhere:

- Patented "split v-groove" clamping system – This revolutionary design accommodates optical fibre ranges from 60um to 2000um for cladding or coating without changing v-grooves or fibre clamps.
- Dual PM alignment technologies – To properly align and splice the ever increasing and technically challenging variety of PM fibres, Fujikura developed IPA which is a new alignment technology. The FSM-100P includes both traditional PAS alignment as well as the new IPA technology, and it provides users with the most comprehensive capabilities on the market for splicing PM fibre. IPA also enables accurate PER estimation for all PM fibre types.
- "Plasma Zone" fibre positioning – "ARCMaster" splicers incorporate multiple fibre and electrode positioning techniques in order to provide unprecedented versatility for splicing LDF as well as heat sensitive or small diameter fibres.
- Special arc calibration technology – This calibration technology facilitates an easy transfer of high end splicing applications from R&D to production by ensuring consistent performance and enables full exploitation of "Plasma Zone" capabilities.
- Improved splice loss estimation technology – Combining the best features of both cold and warm splice imaging, these new generation splicers offer unprecedented accuracy for splice loss estimation.
- Zero degree fibre holder position – For splicing LDF fibres with minimal core angle, the fibre holders are horizontally positioned relative to the v-grooves. This is important for minimising higher order modes in double clad fibres. LDF splicing performance is also enhanced by the capability to mount the fibre holders in reversed orientation.
- Enhanced sweep arc technology – Increased travel range for "sweep arc" provides improved MFD matching capability and the ability for reshaping non-circular fibres in preparation for splicing.
- Production friendly design – A low profile design that eliminates fibre catch points, the dimensions of both splicers are consistent with the most popular production splicing work-benches in use today.
- Internet firmware updates – An industry first! Customers can now upgrade firmware as new capabilities become available from Fujikura. Upgrading is as simple as connecting a USB cable to your splicer.

The need for Accurate, Reliable, and Consistent splicing is expanding to new applications beyond telecommunications. Today splicing is used for fibre lasers, sensors, medical applications, and research and development. These entirely new "ARCMaster" fusion splicers from Fujikura have been developed to provide the ultimate in performance and flexibility for a variety of customers and markets.

ECOC is the largest European optical communications event and ECOC 2010 will be taking place in Turin in September. The conference runs from 19-23 September, while the exhibition runs from 20-22 September. For more information visit ECOC 2010 - The Leading Fibreoptic Forum | ECOC 2010
