It discusses the hybrid polarimetric architecture that transmits circular polarization and receives both linear polarizations to measure Stokes parameters and circular polarization ratio. It explains how calibration is performed using nadir returns to correct for imperfect circular transmission. Results show craters imaged using total power and circular polarization ratio, and characteristic floor-wall backscatter signatures. The hybrid polarimetric design allows compact polarimetry to maximize science with minimal hardware.
The document discusses using zero span mode on a spectrum analyzer to view transient signals over time at a fixed frequency. In zero span mode, the display changes from amplitude vs frequency to amplitude vs time. The resolution bandwidth setting determines what bandwidth of the signal around the center frequency will be visible. Very narrow bandwidth signals like a CW carrier only require a 10 kHz resolution bandwidth to view, while wider signals like NTSC video need at least 300 kHz to see details. Zero span allows measuring the levels of intermittent signals like cable modem bursts and observing noise floors when the signal is not transmitting.

OPEN INNOVATION AS A SERVICE
Approach to launching the open innovation at PepsiCo
We use the open innovation model in our work. The model implies that the company developing new products relies not only on its own internal corporate innovation capacity, but also actively attracts innovation and competencies from outside.
The Open innovation system is based on the fact that outside the company there are always incomparably more breakthrough ideas, expertise and projects than within the company itself. In this regard, the corporate open innovation system faces the task of bringing innovative ideas from the outside, effectively combining them with the internal resources of the company.
Mabius helps companies find and implement innovative ideas of new products, selecting and assisting with the development of those that show the most potential.
This same innovation model is used by leading FMCG-companies: Unilever, Campbell’s, Kellogg’s, Diageo, P&G, and Coca-Cola.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

• To become a global platform where today’s issues of sustainability in the total domain
of aviation will be addressed, Schiphol Group strives to create a community where the
highest knowledge is translated into state of the art new products and business
concepts. The community and it’s members aim to create solutions for sustainable
AirportCities of the future. Not just talk: “connect to transition”.
• The community will be both a substantial cluster agglomeration where parties meet
and co-create, face-to-face as well as a virtual cluster community.
• Parties that participate in this sustainability push are governmental agencies,
knowledge centers and businesses. The theme of a sustainable AirportCity includes
sustainable water and energy management.
• Seeing the many implications of words such as “sustainability” and “innovation”,
Schiphol Group has chosen to create it’s own brand: theGROUNDS which will evolve
through time.

89. The Challenge – Access relevant data - fast
• Difficult to get relevant information
out of traditional Electronc Medical
Records– Quick!
• The complexity induced by modern
information systems and worldwide
standards is way too high for
medical practitioners
• Complex/unstructured data is shown
with text forms: counter-intuitive
user interaction
• Standards contain more than
300,000 clinical terms: too many to
be remembered
• Existing solutions do not support
effective communication between
patients and practitioners
90. The Solution – VPR: Visual Patient Records
• Quick and fast medical
information
• Effective Communication tool
• With patients
• Among staff
• Short Cutting Language Barriers
• Smiling foreign doctors
• The Language of Coming
doctors
• Smiling junior doctors and
medical students
91. 5
The Vision – Working smarter with patient data
• The User interface of Electronic
Patient Records
• Visual coding:
• We need to code for
documentation, but:
• Time consuming
• Stealing time from patients
• Picture HUB:
• X-rays, ultrasound, video
• Patient Access on the national
Danish Electronic Health Record
