The first paragraph of a memo states the reason you’re writing it. Cite the problem or challenge you’ll address, and describe the structure the memo. Keep the first paragraph to about 5-6 lines, made up of 3-4 sentences. In all paragraphs, write sentences between 10-15 words to maintain a high comprehension rate, typically between 90-95 percent. At times, you’ll write a few shorter sentences (5-7 words), and you’ll write a few longer ones (20-25 words). Any sentence composed of two independent thoughts will be connected by a comma followed by a coordinating conjunction (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, and So, spelling FANBOYS). Keep your writing simple and direct. In this memo, you will read about memo structure tools, using headers, inserting tables, figures, and graphs, and end with a recommendation.

The second paragraph starts to explain your issue, and introduce it with a header if you write a memo longer than one page. You build on your opening paragraph with specific information, following the description of the structure of the memo. For all business documents use one inch margins all the way around (top, bottom, left, and right). For font size, choose 11 point, and use either Times New Roman or Ariel. To reveal the “paragraph marks and other hidden formatting symbols” symbol, , click on the icon in the middle of the Home tab or use (Ctrl + Shift + *) to see paragraph symbols. Keep all table information on the same page.
With all paragraphs, don’t exceed eight lines in length (I count the number of lines), and write between 4-6 clear and concise sentences, following the average word count per sentence. Start with the noun and verb, add appropriate adjectives and limit adverbs. For me, adverbs don’t add much to a message: What’s the difference between hot and very hot? Hot is hot!!! Also, people use “very” too often, but what does it add? NOT much. Lastly, Don’t Get Wordy!!!
With documents more than one page, use headers and subheaders. A one-page memo would not need headers, unless you want to stress the last two paragraphs: Conclusion & Recommendation. The first paragraph, which functions as an introduction, does not need a heading since it provides direction, lists activities, and makes a recommendation.
A header and subheaders need a few paragraphs to explain or support a header/subheader. Don’t go from a header to a subheader without a paragraph after the header to introduce that section. Don’t use a header, one paragraph, a header, a paragraph, a header, a paragraph, and so on, and applies to subheader use.

This document provides a template for formatting academic papers. It includes guidelines for paper structure and components such as the title, author list, affiliations, abstract, keywords, headings, body text, equations, references, and more. The template aims to help authors prepare papers that are easy to use, electronically compliant, and uniform in style.
DateMonth Day, Year or mmddyyyyToName the person or p.docxsimonithomas47935
Date: Month Day, Year or mm/dd/yyyy
To: Name the person or persons by first and last name in a line
From: Your name
Subject: Name the memo
The first paragraph of a memo states the reason you’re writing it. Cite the problem or challenge you’ll address, and describe the structure the memo. Keep the first paragraph to about 5-6 lines, made up of 3-4 sentences. In all paragraphs, write sentences between 10-15 words to maintain a high comprehension rate, typically between 90-95 percent. At times, you’ll write a few shorter sentences (5-7 words), and you’ll write a few longer ones (20-25 words). Any sentence composed of two independent thoughts will be connected by a comma followed by a coordinating conjunction (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, and So, spelling FANBOYS). Keep your writing simple and direct. In this memo, you will read about memo structure tools, using headers, inserting tables, figures, and graphs, and end with a recommendation.
Incorporating Memo Structure Tools
The second paragraph starts to explain your issue, and introduce it with a header if you write a memo longer than one page. You build on your opening paragraph with specific information, following the description of the structure of the memo. For all business documents use one inch margins all the way around (top, bottom, left, and right). For font size, choose 11 point, and use either Times New Roman or Ariel. To reveal the “paragraph marks and other hidden formatting symbols” symbol, , click on the icon in the middle of the Home tab or use (Ctrl + Shift + *) to see paragraph symbols. Keep all table information on the same page.
With all paragraphs, don’t exceed eight lines in length (I count the number of lines), and write between 4-6 clear and concise sentences, following the average word count per sentence. Start with the noun and verb, add appropriate adjectives and limit adverbs. For me, adverbs don’t add much to a message: What’s the difference between hot and very hot? Hot is hot!!! Also, people use “very” too often, but what does it add? NOT much. Lastly, Don’t Get Wordy!!!
With documents more than one page, use headers and subheaders. A one-page memo would not need headers, unless you want to stress the last two paragraphs: Conclusion & Recommendation. The first paragraph, which functions as an introduction, does not need a heading since it provides direction, lists activities, and makes a recommendation.
A header and subheaders need a few paragraphs to explain or support a header/subheader. Don’t go from a header to a subheader without a paragraph after the header to introduce that section. Don’t use a header, one paragraph, a header, a paragraph, a header, a paragraph, and so on, and applies to subheader use. With headers or subheaders, they don’t stand alone, especially at the end of a page so hit the Enter key to move it to the top of the next page.
A header introduces the next section (composed of a few paragraphs). Headers are centered, justif.

In today's dynamic and competitive market, a well-rounded skillset is no longer a luxury - it's a necessity.
While technical expertise (hard skills) is crucial for getting your foot in the door, it's the combination of hard and soft skills that propels you towards long-term success and career advancement. ✨
Think of it like this: Imagine a highly skilled carpenter with a masterful understanding of woodworking (hard skills). But if they struggle to communicate effectively with clients, collaborate with builders, or adapt to project changes (soft skills), their true potential remains untapped. 😐
The synergy between hard and soft skills is what creates true value in the workplace. Strong communication allows you to clearly articulate your technical expertise, while problem-solving skills help you navigate complex challenges alongside your team. 💫
By actively developing both sets of skills, you position yourself as a well-rounded professional who can not only perform tasks efficiently but also contribute meaningfully to a collaborative and dynamic work environment.

Parabolic antenna alignment system with Real-Time Angle Position FeedbackStevenPatrick17
Introduction
Parabolic antennas are a crucial component in many communication systems, including satellite communications, radio telescopes, and television broadcasting. Ensuring these antennas are properly aligned is vital for optimal performance and signal strength. A parabolic antenna alignment system, equipped with real-time angle position feedback and fault tracking, is designed to address this need. This document delves into the components, design, and implementation of such a system, highlighting its significance and applications.
Importance of Parabolic Antenna Alignment
The alignment of a parabolic antenna directly affects its performance. Even minor misalignments can lead to significant signal loss, which can degrade the quality of the received signal or cause communication failures. Proper alignment ensures that the antenna's focal point is accurately directed toward the signal source, maximizing the antenna's gain and efficiency. This precision is especially crucial in applications like satellite communications, where the antenna must track geostationary satellites with high accuracy.
Components of a Parabolic Antenna Alignment System
A parabolic antenna alignment system typically includes the following components:
Parabolic Dish: The primary reflector that collects and focuses incoming signals.
Feedhorn and Low Noise Block (LNB): Positioned at the dish's focal point to receive signals.
Stepper or Servo Motors: Adjust the azimuth (horizontal) and elevation (vertical) angles of the antenna.
Microcontroller (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi): Processes sensor data and controls the motors.
Potentiometers: Provide feedback on the antenna's current angle positions.
Fault Detection Sensors: Monitor for potential faults such as cable discontinuities or LNB failures.
Control Software: Runs on the microcontroller, handling real-time processing and decision-making.
Real-Time Angle Position Feedback
Real-time feedback on the antenna's angle position is essential for maintaining precise alignment. This feedback is typically provided by potentiometers or rotary encoders, which continuously monitor the azimuth and elevation angles. The microcontroller reads this data and adjusts the motors accordingly to keep the antenna aligned with the signal source.
Fault Tracking in Antenna Alignment Systems
Fault tracking is vital for the reliability and performance of the antenna system. Common faults include cable discontinuities, LNB malfunctions, and motor failures. Sensors integrated into the system can detect these faults and either notify the user or initiate corrective actions automatically.
Design and Implementation
1. Parabolic Dish and Feedhorn
The parabolic dish is designed to reflect incoming signals to a focal point where the feedhorn and LNB are located. The dish's size and shape depend on the specific application and frequency range.
2. Motors and Position Control
Stepper motors or servo motors are used to control the azimuth and elevation of

built-in Equation Editor that enables input of sophisticated mathematics typeset (usually) in the Cambria
Math font. You access it from the Insert menu.
“Old Style Equations” (Word 97–Word 2003): For versions of Microsoft Word between Word 97 and
Word 2003, mathematical input was created by an add-in: Inserting and editing a “Microsoft Equation 3.0
object,” typically by Insert Object and selecting “Microsoft Equation 3.0.”
Newer versions of Microsoft Word (Word 2007 and onwards) still support the original “Old Style Equations”
method of creating mathematics by inserting an equation via Insert Object and selecting “Microsoft Equation
3.0.” Whatever method is used, please make sure the equation is clear and readable.
Which Microsoft Word Equation Editor Should I Use? (Second Level Heading)
(Use the Microsoft Word template style: Heading 2) or (Use Times New Roman Font: 12 PT, Bold, Centered)
Due to technical requirements of OpenType font technology, Microsoft Word’s “New Style” Equation Editor
works only with fonts specially designed for mathematical typesetting. Unless you have obtained and configured
new OpenType math fonts, it is highly likely that your installation of Word will use the Cambria Math font for all
mathematics created with the “New Style” editor. Using the Cambria Math font for mathematics and Times Roman
for your text will cause a mismatch in the visual appearance of your article, so, for consistency, we prefer authors to
use the “Old Style” Equation Editor because it is straightforward to amend the size/style of the fonts it uses.
Formatting and Inserting Equations (Second Level Heading)
(Use the Microsoft Word template style: Heading 2) or (Use Times New Roman Font: 12 PT, Bold, Centered)
Equations should be centered with equation numbers on the right-hand side (flush right). Achieving a pleasing
layout of equations can be tricky in Microsoft Word, so here are some tips. You can either:
1. Copy, paste, and edit the sample equation provided (recommended), or
2. Manually insert an equation and equation number
Copy, Paste, and Edit a Sample Equation (Third Level Heading)
(Use the Microsoft Word template style: Heading 3) or (Use Times New Roman Font: 10 pt, Italic, Centered)
To use this “Old Style Equation” as a “template,” highlight the entire line, then use cut and paste to the new
location. Note that the equation number will automatically update (increment).

4. Manually Inserting an Equation and Equation Number (Third Level Heading)
(Use the Microsoft Word template style: Heading 3) or (Use Times New Roman Font: 10 pt, Italic, Centered)
If you prefer to manually insert and number equations, follow this step-by-step guide:
1. Make sure you can see “hidden characters” by switching on “show invisibles” from the Home menu (it
looks like this: ). This allows you to see paragraph markers (¶) and tab characters (), which are usually
hidden from view.
2. Create a blank paragraph by pressing [ENTER].
3. Format your new blank paragraph by applying the Microsoft Word template style: Equation. The Equation
paragraph style sets up the tabs so that you can center the equation and have an equation number appear at
the right.
4. Place your cursor at the start of your new paragraph and press the [TAB] key twice.
5. Place your cursor between the tab characters () and insert your equation using Insert Object Microsoft
Equation 3.0.
6. To add an equation number, place your cursor at the end of the paragraph (just before the paragraph markers
(¶) and after the second tab character ()).
7. On the Insert tab, in the Text group, click Quick Parts and then click Field:
8. A dialog box should appear:
9. From the list of Field Names on the left of the dialog box, select ListNum.
10. From the list of Field properties on the right, select the “Equations” List name and click OK. You should
now see an equation number in parentheses: e.g., (3).
5. OTHER SPECIFICATIONS (FIRST LEVEL HEADING)
(Use the Microsoft Word template style: Heading 1) or (Use Times New Roman Font: 12 pt, Bold, ALL CAPS,
Centered)
Figures, tables, and equations must be inserted in the text and may not be grouped at the end of the paper.
Important: A miscount of figures, tables, or equations may result in revisions. Please double check the numbering of
these elements before you submit your paper to your proceedings editor.
Figures (Second Level Heading)
(Use the Microsoft Word template style: Heading 2) or (Use Times New Roman Font: 12 PT, Bold, Centered)
If you need to arrange many figures, a good tip is to place them in a table, which gives you additional control of
the layout. Leave a line space between your figure and any text above it, and the figure description and any text
below it, like this one:
(a) (b)
FIGURE 1. To format a figure caption, use the Microsoft Word template style: Figure Caption or Times New Roman Font: 9 pt,
Centered. The text “FIGURE 1,” which labels the caption, should be bold and in upper case. If figures have more than one part,
each part should be labeled (a), (b), etc. Using a table, as in the above example, helps you control the layout
Cite all figures in the text in consecutive order. The word “Figure” should be spelled out if it is the first word of
the sentence and abbreviated as “Fig.” elsewhere in the text. Place the figures as close as possible to their first
mention in the text at the top or bottom of the page with the figure caption positioned below, all centered. Figures
must be inserted in the text and may not follow the Reference section.
Color Figures (Third Level Heading)
(Use the Microsoft Word template style: Heading 3) or (Times New Roman Font: 10 pt, Italic, Centered)
Authors are welcome to use color figures within their article. For online publication, there are no costs added for
color figures. However, for printed proceedings (if requested by your conference organizer), there is an additional
cost. Please consult directly with your conference organizer. If your conference organizer has asked AIP Publishing
to produce printed copies (many ask AIP Publishing for online-only publication), then all figures will be printed in
black-and-white unless you make specific arrangements with your organizer(s) to include color figures in your
article and pay to them the associated fee(s) they request. We advise that many color figures can be printed in black-
and-white with no loss of information; however, some figures do lose information when reproduced in black-and-
white. Check your figure legends carefully and, if your figures are to be printed in black-and-white, remove from
your text/descriptions any references to color.
6. Tables (Second Level Heading)
(Use the Microsoft Word template style: Heading 2) or (Use Times New Roman Font: 12 PT, Bold, Centered)
Due to the wide range and complexity of tables, we simply offer an example for guidance. Please follow the
style for table (and figure) captions.
TABLE 1. To format a table caption, use the Microsoft Word template style: Table Caption. The text
“TABLE 1,” which labels the caption, should be bold and all letters capitalized. Center this text above the
Table. Tables should have top and bottom rules, and a rule separating the column heads from the rest of the table
only.

FINAL KEY POINTS TO CONSIDER (FIRST LEVEL HEADING)
(Use the Microsoft Word template style: Heading 1) or (Use Times New Roman Font: 12 pt, Bold, ALL CAPS,
Centered)
Here are the main points you need to follow (the AIP author template package contains comprehensive
guidance):
Write and prepare your article using the AIP Conference Proceedings template.
Create a PDF file of your paper (making sure to embed all fonts).
Send the following items to your conference organizer:
o PDF file of your paper
o (If it applies) Copies of any permissions to re-use copyrighted materials in your article (e.g., figures
from books/journals)
Font Embedding (Second Level Heading)
(Use the Microsoft Word template style: Heading 2) or (Use Times New Roman Font: 12 PT, Bold, Centered)
As the author and creator of your article PDF, you have the most intimate knowledge of exactly what the PDF
should display. We ask all authors to carefully check their article PDF prior to submission. Perform visual
inspections to detect subtle font errors and ensure that all fonts are embedded. With the wide range of tools and
software that authors use to create PDFs, and the number of devices and platforms that readers use to view/print
them, font embedding by authors is not only “nice-to-have”; it is essential.
Why Should I Care About Font Embedding? (Third Level Heading)
(Use the Microsoft Word template style: Heading 3) or (Times New Roman Font: 10 pt, Italic, Centered)
Embedding fonts into your PDF file is critically important for two reasons:
1. Commercial printing companies are unable to print PDFs without the correct fonts embedded.
2. To ensure that your online article PDF file displays and prints correctly for everyone who wants to read your
work.
Readers of scientific articles use an ever-increasing range of devices and applications to access, view, and print
PDFs – from smart phones and tablets to desktop computers running any one of a number of operating systems. To
ensure that readers of your article can display and print it correctly, it is important for your article’s PDF file to be
truly portable: Your PDF file needs to be fully “self-contained.”

Summary: Points to Consider when Preparing Your Paper
1- Articles should use 8.5 x 11 single column template.
2- Use Times New Roman font, the point size will vary by section.
3- DO NOT alter the margins of our templates. They are carefully designed for AIP’s production process:
Altering them can cause significant delays. Paper size should be 8 ½ x 11 with margins set at:Top – 1 inch,
Left – 1 inch, Bottom – 1.18 inch, Right – 1 inch.
4- DO NOT display the title in ALL CAPS (initial cap only)
5- DO NOT include any headers, footers, or page numbers in your document. They will be added to your
article PDF by AIP Publishing, so please do not amend this template to add them to your paper.
6- Line spacing should be 1.0 throughout the entire article, no double spacing.
7- Make sure all author affiliation associations are correct. This means author vs. affiliation and author vs.
email address. If there is only one affiliation for all authors, association is not needed. Author names
should be listed in First name Surname format.
8- Use clear, legible graphics and diagrams. Readers of your paper will be grateful. If they cannot read it, they
are unlikely to cite it.
9- DO NOT use copyrighted material without permission. Papers using copyrighted material without
appropriate permission and acknowledgment will be excluded from the proceedings.
10- No 1-page papers please. 1-page, abstract-only contributions are not acceptable and will be excluded from
the proceedings.
11- Prepare and format references with care. References should be numbered using Arabic numerals followed
by a period (.).
12- Embed all fonts into your article PDF. The importance of font embedding is discussed in the section Font
Embedding (above). PDFs supplied without embedded fonts are often completely unusable for printing or
publication purposes. In such cases, we must return those PDFs to the proceedings editors for font
embedding. Failure to embed fonts can cause unnecessary inconvenience to your proceedings editor(s) and
publication delays for other authors. Failure to provide a replacement paper in a timely fashion may result in
an article being removed from the proceedings.
13- Check your article PDF file! It is not uncommon for errors to appear in PDFs generated from Microsoft
Word – corrupted math, figures reflowing, etc. It is essential to very carefully check your article PDF file
before sending it to the proceedings editor(s).
14- Avoid large PDF files (10 MB maximum, ideally). For the benefit of your readers, we recommend keeping
your article PDF file below 10 MB. This is a recommendation, not a requirement.
