Open Spectrum - Physics, Engineering, Commerce and PoliticsBrough Turner
The Open Spectrum Potential for Evolutionary and Revolutionary Technology and Business Solutions
by
Brough Turner; Founder and CTO at Ashtonbrooke and Chief Strategy Officer at Dialogic
Presented to the Boston chapter of the IEEE Communications Society, May 14, 2009.
In November 2008, the FCC voted unanimously to permit unlicensed wireless devices that operate in the empty "white space" between TV channels. Their “TV White Spaces” decision was the culmination of many years of proceedings, but it's just one step in a much larger discussion, commonly referred to as “Open Spectrum.”
Our use of radio spectrum is regulated under principles that were established in the 1920s, when radio spectrum appeared to be a scarce resource and frequency was the only reasonable basis for allocation. Today’s wireless technology vastly exceeds anything imagined in the 1920s and from physical principles we know that many, many orders of magnitude further improvement are possible. Already the application of new approaches in just a few slivers of spectrum has fostered new industries – WiFi, Bluetooth and more.
The presentation discusses the predecessors, potentiality, and directions for Open Spectrum. This will include:
A brief history spectrum regulation from before the Radio Act of 1925 to today.
Results from measurements of actual spectrum utilization in New York and Washington DC.
An overview of "Open Spectrum" experiments to date, including “license exempt sharing” in the 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands and different forms of "secondary use" including UWB, 3650 MHz and now TV White Spaces.
The physics of propagation and its impact on the range of White Spaces services vs. WiFi, WiMAX, 3GSM and LTE.
IEEE 802.11y protocols and the prospects for expanding secondary use beyond TV White Spaces.
Brough Turner is founder and CTO at Ashtonbrooke and Chief Strategy Officer at Dialogic. Formerly he was founder and CTO at Natural MicroSystems and NMS Communications. He speaks and writes on a variety of communications topics including 3G and 4G wireless tutorials. He presented most recently at the 4G Wireless Evolution conference in February. Brough is an electrical engineering graduate of MIT and has 25 years experience in telecommunications.
Refactoring workshop (Campus Party Quito 2014)Maria Gomez
The document discusses refactoring code through changing the internal structure while keeping the external structure the same. It emphasizes skills like following SOLID principles, incremental development, test-driven development, well-designed test cases, and pair programming. SOLID principles include the single responsibility, open/closed, Liskov substitution, interface segregation, and dependency inversion principles.

It allows Spotify to process large datasets for tasks like personalized music recommendations using a functional programming style. Scio handles tasks like computing word counts and PageRank on Dataflow and is used by Spotify to generate weekly recommendations from 100GB of data and analyze user conversion patterns from 150GB datasets. The goal of Scio is to make Dataflow more usable and scalable for data processing while maintaining simplicity over optimization.
Bringing iot data to life, IoT Israel 2014iotisrael
This document discusses using IoT data analytics to detect anomalies and solve problems. It provides an example of using an IoT analytics platform to do traffic anomaly detection using data from 1000 cameras. The system was able to detect abnormal traffic congestion, construction issues, and other events with a low false positive rate after being deployed across many road types. The document promotes using similar analytics techniques on other IoT data streams for applications like smart homes, electrical grids, and more.
SCiO is a handheld spectrometer device created by Consumer Physics Inc. that uses near-IR spectroscopy to scan materials and objects, identify their molecular properties, and provide composition information to users through a mobile app. It aims to make spectroscopy more accessible by being portable, affordable, and easy to use. While SCiO has garnered interest through crowdfunding, raising over $2.7 million on Kickstarter, some scientists remain skeptical of its capabilities and see limitations until it can be fully tested.
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course on Business Models at National University of Singapore to analyze the business model of SCIO’s molecular sensor. This pocket sensor uses infrared light to determine the molecular makeup of fruits, vegetables, drugs, and other organic materials. As a replacement for bulky spectrometers, it can be used by scientists, engineers, and consumers to determine the sugar content, nutritional value, and other aspects of organic materials. The slides describe the value proposition, method of value capture, customers, scope of activities, and method of strategic control for SCIO.

DropDeck is a Decentralized Financing Platform for Startups & SMEs - streamlining venture investment & lending to help investors screen, evaluate, invest in or lend to the most innovative or thriving companies, maximize return, driving the global economy forward.
The document discusses an upcoming crowdfunding workshop hosted by Propel Arizona. The agenda covers crowdfunding overviews, crafting campaigns, visuals, rewards, and running successful campaigns. It also discusses different types of crowdfunding like donation, rewards, equity and debt crowdfunding. Key topics include protecting intellectual property, why people support crowdfunding campaigns due to passion for the product or cause, and lessons from successful Kickstarter campaigns emphasizing emotional returns over financial returns.
Crowdfunding allows entrepreneurs to solicit small amounts of money from a large number of people through the internet. It helps fill the gap between an entrepreneur's initial concept and product and the later stages of growth where larger funding is available. Successful crowdfunding campaigns focus on telling a compelling story that will motivate and connect with potential backers. They emphasize visuals, rewards, regular updates and engagement over just asking for money. Proper preparation, including crafting an appealing description and perks, is key to running an effective crowdfunding campaign.
It's time to unlock the power of self-organization. The world has changed -- with the vast internet, resources, and social media. Great leaders will tap this capability to energize and release the power of their people, their customers and their business partners.
The document discusses securities-based crowdfunding and the JOBS Act. It explains that Title II of the JOBS Act lifts the ban on general solicitation for accredited investors, while Title III allows businesses to raise up to $1 million from non-accredited investors. The mechanism of investment-based crowdfunding is described, showing how businesses can be funded when investors pledge money. Global data on crowdfunding deals is presented, showing hundreds of millions raised through equity and loans. The disruption of crowdfunding is discussed as the result of both technical changes enabling online investing as well as cultural factors like distrust of public markets.
This document provides a summary of several articles related to private equity. It discusses the following key points:
1) A study found that family-owned businesses were more innovative than comparable non-family businesses, as measured by increased patenting and citations, despite spending less on R&D.
2) A study found that sector-focused private investment funds outperformed more generalist PE funds over a ten-year period, with higher returns.
3) An article summarizes eternal truths and lessons learned from Sequoia Capital's 42 years of investing in Silicon Valley, including the benefits of investing anti-cyclically.

Crack the Crowd, Title 3 Crowdfunding & JOBS Act OverviewDan Baird
An overview of crowdfunding, the JOBS act, Title II and Title III. What this latest legislation means, and how small businesses can use it to raise capital.
This document discusses investment crowdfunding and delineates it from reward-based crowdfunding. It explains the mechanism of investment crowdfunding, how investors provide funds to businesses in exchange for securities like equity or debt instruments. It also outlines the legal framework provided by the JOBS Act, including Title II which allows general solicitation for accredited investors and Title III which will allow crowdfunding for non-accredited investors. Finally, it discusses the potential impact of investment crowdfunding in democratizing access to capital for businesses and empowering individual investors.
DAO Maker is building the go-to platform for retail venture investing in equity and tokens.
Providing low-risk participation frameworks is essential to reach global retail in venture capital, as most retail investors cannot afford to risk large portions of their money. By providing an opportunity to everyday people to safely grow their own capital, we aim to improve the quality of millions of lives while simultaneously enabling a new funding source to innovation worldwide.
Over the past 2 years, DAO Maker has grown one of the largest ecosystems of quality retail investors; in just 2020, our platform has signed on more than 75,000 retail users interested in early-stage ventures. At the same time, we have been building a suite of services to attract high-quality startups to join the ecosystem and be accelerated in a decentralized, safe, and autonomous environment. Some of the industry’s most notable developments currently use the technology solutions provided within our startup growth toolkit. To date, the demand for the products has well exceeded our ability to manage onboarding flow, which is why we are currently working on permissionless, self-managed versions of our technology products.
DAO Maker’s track record has defied market cycles. We have worked with projects to design solutions to raise capital in bear markets, supported enterprise blockchains to generate new product portfolios for growth, and created technology solutions that expand community empowerment in tokenized developments. Our consulting and technology services’ revenue has been funneled to our primary goal: creating a globally compliant fundraising platform for both crowd equity and tokens.
Our approach to a fundraising platform is distinct from other platforms that target venture funding. We don’t just connect retail venture funds to startups in need of capital.
Instead, we create a platform that incorporates pluggable solutions to the problems early-stage ventures face after fundraising, alongside creating venture investment structures that make participation far safer for retail.
DAO Maker is on track to change the way personal finance works by breaking its boundaries. While retail or household portfolios have made record participation into the equity market, encouraged by a global desire for individuals to seek financial independence by putting their money to work, retail involvement in venture funding is bleak.
Retail makes up less than 1% of the annual $300B venture capital market, even though early-stage investments are the leading wealth generator, as growth prospects are becoming increasingly limited by the time new companies listed on the market.
1. The document discusses the state of the fintech sector and challenges facing fintech firms in the UK. It notes the UK's strengths in the fintech space but says more must be done to support growth and innovation.
2. A panel of experts provides advice on alternative finance investing, noting the importance of diversification and due diligence given risks. They discuss how alternative finance is filling gaps by funding underserved businesses.
3. The panel sees alternative finance becoming more global and diverse in coming years, with new products like funds and convertible equity, and the potential for equity crowdfunding of public companies. Government support like possible alternative finance inclusion in ISAs is a major development.

Jewish life in Ukraine: Achievements, challenges and priorities from the coll...Leadel
Part of a four-part series funded by the Rothschild Foundation (Hanadiv) Europe that looks at Jewish life in east-central Europe since the collapse of communism, the Ukraine report calls for the development of a common organisational framework to bring together the various Jewish communities throughout the country; support from international foundations to enable the Jewish community to become less dependent on external sources of financial support; and a more inclusive policy on Jewish status issues given the high levels of intermarriage in the country.
In addition, the report stresses the need for enhancements in the field of Jewish education, with a particular emphasis on increasing the number of trained teachers and educators, and access to better quality Russian and Ukrainian-language educational materials. Given the extraordinary history of Jewish life in the country, the recommendations also push for the preservation of this heritage and the utilisation of it for community development purposes.
The report also explores the issue of antisemitism in Ukraine, and calls for the establishment of a centre to monitor antisemitic incidents, and to liaise with government, the police and security services to counter it.
The research was conducted by community activist and doctoral student Darina Privalko under the advice of Dr Betsy Gidwitz, a former Soviet-area specialist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Versions of the report are also available in Ukrainian and Russian.
Contains unique data by the research respondents - key players in creation of Jewish community life in Ukraine; as well as contact info of Jewish community organizations.

Virtual Fit as a Service is a 3D body scanning and virtual shoe fitting solution that allows online shoppers to determine their accurate shoe size without physically trying on shoes. The solution uses proprietary 3D reconstruction of the foot and last (shoe form) to virtually "fit" different shoes on the customer's foot scan. This addresses a major problem and cost for online retailers - reducing high return rates and inventory issues from customers buying incorrect shoe sizes without a proper fit. The company's team has over 120 years of combined experience in product development, computer vision, and retail to deliver this virtual fitting as a service to consumers and retailers.

Retail makes up less than 1% of the annual $300B venture capital market, even though early-stage investments are the leading wealth generator, as growth prospects are becoming increasingly limited by the time new companies listed on the market.
1. The document discusses the state of the fintech sector and challenges facing fintech firms in the UK. It notes the UK's strengths in the fintech space but says more must be done to support growth and innovation.
2. A panel of experts provides advice on alternative finance investing, noting the importance of diversification and due diligence given risks. They discuss how alternative finance is filling gaps by funding underserved businesses.
3. The panel sees alternative finance becoming more global and diverse in coming years, with new products like funds and convertible equity, and the potential for equity crowdfunding of public companies. Government support like possible alternative finance inclusion in ISAs is a major development.

Jewish life in Ukraine: Achievements, challenges and priorities from the coll...Leadel
Part of a four-part series funded by the Rothschild Foundation (Hanadiv) Europe that looks at Jewish life in east-central Europe since the collapse of communism, the Ukraine report calls for the development of a common organisational framework to bring together the various Jewish communities throughout the country; support from international foundations to enable the Jewish community to become less dependent on external sources of financial support; and a more inclusive policy on Jewish status issues given the high levels of intermarriage in the country.
In addition, the report stresses the need for enhancements in the field of Jewish education, with a particular emphasis on increasing the number of trained teachers and educators, and access to better quality Russian and Ukrainian-language educational materials. Given the extraordinary history of Jewish life in the country, the recommendations also push for the preservation of this heritage and the utilisation of it for community development purposes.
The report also explores the issue of antisemitism in Ukraine, and calls for the establishment of a centre to monitor antisemitic incidents, and to liaise with government, the police and security services to counter it.
The research was conducted by community activist and doctoral student Darina Privalko under the advice of Dr Betsy Gidwitz, a former Soviet-area specialist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Versions of the report are also available in Ukrainian and Russian.
Contains unique data by the research respondents - key players in creation of Jewish community life in Ukraine; as well as contact info of Jewish community organizations.

The company's team has over 120 years of combined experience in product development, computer vision, and retail to deliver this virtual fitting as a service to consumers and retailers.

Problem: In the hours after the bombing of the Boston

of hours of footage from throughout the city, without the
means to process it for clues.
Solution: BriefCam’s software allowed enforcement to review
hours of footage per camera in short scenes displaying all
“actions” on top of each other. As it was used by Norwegians
to rapidly identify Anders Breivik in 2011, BriefCam’s display
solution may have assisted the identification of the Tsarnev
