The document proposes developing human-electric scout vehicles called HESVs to transport soldiers over long distances efficiently while reducing logistical needs, suggesting using electric bicycles, motorcycles, and robots to allow reconnaissance with minimal detectable footprint and fossil fuel dependency, and noting that such vehicles could loiter for days gathering data at low cost compared to traditional vehicles.

Applied Physical Oceanography And ModelingJim Jenkins
This three-day course is designed for engineers, physicists, acousticians, climate scientists, and managers who wish to enhance their understanding of this discipline or become familiar with how the ocean environment can affect their individual applications. Examples of remote sensing of the ocean, in situ ocean observing systems and actual examples from recent oceanographic cruises are given.
The students will be able to access educational Java applets to visualize waves and key acoustic phenomena: Click here to view
Other web-based resources include acoustic demonstration podcasts and iPod apps to conduct acoustic measurements. The student will also be armed with Internet resources for up-to-date information on sonar systems, undersea sound propagation models, and environmental databases. The student will leave with a clear understanding of how the ocean influences undersea sound propagation and scattering.

This three day course, based on the 690-page Sensor Technology Handbook, published by Elsevier in 2005 and edited by the instructor, is designed for engineers, technicians and managers who want to increase their knowledge of sensors and signal conditioning. It balances breadth and depth in a practical presentation for those who design sensor systems and work with sensors of all types. Each topic includes technology fundamentals, selection criteria, applicable standards, interfacing and system designs & discussion of future developments.
This presentation summarizes the debate on net neutrality in the United States. It explains the concept, why it's important, and addresses the arguments for and against the concept.
This presentation was last given at the Bay Area Seniors Computer Club in Coos Bay, Oregon, on January 7, 2011.
