The MAST pod provides a flexible platform for testing sensor systems. It has configurable bays for nose, tail, and center payloads. The pod collects data through an onboard system and can transmit data via L-band downlink. It is designed to accommodate different payloads and a subsonic aircraft flight envelope.

Capacitors are more than just a couple electrode plates separated by a dielectric. KEMET offers an interactive online tool to simulate capacitor performance with Voltage, Temperature, and Frequency. The tool is available at http://ksim.kemet.com/.
This presentation reviews some of K-SIM's capabilities and techniques for using it.

Eddy current inspection is one of several NDT methods that use the principal of “electromagnetism” as the basis for conducting examinations.
Eddy currents are created through a process called electromagnetic induction. When alternating current is applied to the conductor, such as copper wire, a magnetic field develops in and around the conductor. This magnetic field expands as the alternating current rises to maximum and collapses as the current is reduced to zero. If another electrical conductor is brought into the close proximity to this changing magnetic field, current will be induced in this second conductor. Eddy currents are induced electrical currents that flow in a circular path. They get their name from “eddies” that are formed when a liquid or gas flows in a circular path around obstacles when conditions are right.
Organizational Change Management (OCM) is a strategic framework on how to manage change. Discover the challenges companies experience during business transformations and get tips and advice for how to successfully execute an initiative. Learn how to effectively drive change within your organization and how changes in technologies, structure, processes and culture should be managed and prepared for ahead of a major transformation initiative. Presented during a GTRI webinar on October 13, 2016.
For the March ODROID Magazine edition I contributed article for "Peeking Under the Hood" for Android. In this article I walk through the different directories inside the Android massive source base, explaining as much as I can what code the directory contains and what is it usage.

Increased Efficiency for Beyond Line of Sight ISR OperationsNewtec
The presentation Koen Willems, Strategic Marketing Manager Government and IP Trunking at Newtec, and David Beering, owner of Intelligent Designs LLC, presented at MilSatCom 2012.
They tackled the question how to increase efficiency across satellites for beyond line of sight ISR operations and elaborated on the following topics:
- ISR airborne platforms
- Increasing data rates through video and data in ISR applications
- Budget cuts in government and the defence market
- Increasing efficiency across satellites
- Inclined orbit satellites

CWC-AE provides the most widely-installed FTI system in the world with more flight hours than any other. We lower risk by supplying COTS hardware that has been proven on every platform type in all environmental conditions and delivers data reliably every time thanks to its ‘works once, works always’ finite state machine construction. The COTS design results in short lead times ensuring the hardware is delivered quickly.
