The design methodology of a two-way simultaneous digital transceiver is presented. The developed component (patent pending) has been employed in the linea UT digital telephone switches connnecting 27 Million lines worldwide.
This document summarizes Robert Kaplan and David Norton's balanced scorecard system. It discusses the necessity of using the balanced scorecard due to increasing intangible assets and limitations of traditional performance measures. The balanced scorecard aligns business activities with organizational vision/strategy, improves communications, and monitors performance against strategic goals. It considers financial, customer, internal process, and learning/growth perspectives. The document also discusses applying the balanced scorecard in Vietnam and proposes how medium and small businesses there can use it to define direction, understand business models, balance long/short-term goals, and remain flexible.
This document discusses building stronger learning communities through transforming school, parent, and student collaboration with technology. Decades of research show that parent involvement leads to higher student achievement, better attendance, and lower rates of bad behavior. Technology provides new ways to connect learning communities and make collaboration transparent beyond barriers of time and space. When students, parents, teachers, and community members actively learn together through sharing ideas on blogs and social media, it empowers all individuals to get smarter through their connections.
The document introduces Adam as the newest member of the CrossWay Church social media team. It provides information about CrossWay Live, a week-long interactive Bible study on the church sermon hosted on the YouVersion Bible App. Participants can listen to sermons, engage with scripture passages, notes, polls and submit prayer requests all through the Bible app or online.

Taking the Plunge: Making Saint Louis HomeEmily Knippa
The St. Louis region has welcoming communities and a thriving arts and culture scene, so it’s no wonder that transplants find their way here to start a new career, build a business, or raise a family. United Way of Greater St. Louis recently surveyed more than 100 St. Louis transplants to dive deeper into their perspectives on transitioning to the region, meeting people in the community, and the most pressing social issues in St. Louis.
The document provides an overview of effective search strategies for finding information on the internet:
- The internet consists of billions of web pages both publicly accessible and within private networks. Search engines only index a fraction of available pages.
- Key strategies for effective searching include choosing appropriate keywords, selecting the right search tools, and evaluating the reliability of information found.
- Much information is contained in the "deep web" of databases not accessible to search engines, requiring use of specialized search sites.
- Users should carefully evaluate websites for authority, credibility, accuracy, and potential biases before fully relying on information. Looking at the URL, domain, author credentials, and outside reviews can help assess reliability.

Reinventing Education for the 21st Century (Designing School 2.0)Wesley Fryer
As Thomas Friedman persuasively argued in this book "The World is Flat," we live in a very different and rapidly changing economic and cultural environment. Schools need to change to prepare students for the dynamic opportunities of the 21st century workforce. Collaboration in most of our schools today is still called "cheating." Our factory model of transmission-based education must be transformed into one where learners regularly collaborate, access and "remix" digital information, and extend their learning beyond the traditional bell schedule. One to one laptop initiatives, where every student and teacher have wireless computing devices; schools and libraries becoming community learning hubs offering public wireless and wired connectivity to the Internet; and the deregulation of education which frees learners to spend time in real-world, problem-based and project-based learning need to become hallmarks of education in the 21st century. This presentation shares this vision for reinventing education: Designing School 2.0, and offers suggestions for how civic leaders can move toward this vision at local levels.

The recent development of the automated version of PWLFIT[1,2,4] opens the door also to hybrid PWL/VF[5,8,9] methods. This further possibility expands up to six the number of possible alternatives to modeling and simulation methods
Frequency domain behavior of S-parameters piecewise-linear fitting in a digit...Piero Belforte
This paper describes PWLFIT+, an extension to the frequency domain ofPWLFIT, a new paradigm in time-domain macromodel ing for linear multiportsystems, based on a piecewise-linea r (PWL) behavioral representation of the S-parameters step response.
A parallel-plate capacitor implemented by a rectangular double-sided printed circuit board is characterized by means a stimulus signal injected at a corner. Both frequency-domain (VNA) and time-domain (TDR) techniques are utilized to determine the step response of the reflected wave (S11) to be compared to the theoretical behavior of the equivalent parallel plate capacitance. A commercial application is utilized to convert the frequency domain tabulated data of the frequency response into the corresponding TDR response. A very accurate and fast 2D TLM (Transmission Line Model) model can be easily extracted from these single time-domain experimental responses.
Automated Piecewise-Linear Fitting of S-Parameters step-response (PWLFIT) for...Piero Belforte
An innovative full time-domain macromodeling
technique for general, linear multiport systems is described. The
methodology is defined in a digital wave framework and timedomain
simulations are performed via an efficient method called
Segment Fast Convolution (SFC). It is based on a piecewiseconstant
(PWC) model of the impulse response of scattering
parameters, computed starting from a piecewise-linear fitting
of their step response (PWLFIT). Such step response is directly
available from time-domain reflectometer measurements
(TDR/TDT) or equivalent simulations. The model-building phase
is performed in a fast automated framework and an analytic
formulation of computational efficiency of the SFC with respect to
the standard time-domain convolution is given. Two application
examples are used to verify the PWLFIT performance and to
perform a comparison with macromodeling methods defined in
the frequency-domain, such as Vector Fitting (VF).
Index Terms—Digital wave models, time-domain macromodeling,
S-parameters, step response.
Multigigabit modeling of hi safe+ flying probe fp011Piero Belforte
This document describes the modeling methodology used to assess the performance of these probes in terms of allowed digital bandwidth of signals chosen for temporary fault insertion trials. This methodology is based on time-domain characterization of Scattering parameters (TDR/TDT) and subsequent extraction of a Behavioral Time-domain Model (BTM) [13] of the probe itself. This technique called PWLFIT (Piece-Wise Linear FITting) [14] [15]is supported by the Digital Wave Simulator DWS [16] [17] and its companion tool DWV [18] developed starting in the early '90s for very fast modeling and simulation of high-speed circuits and systems.
