32feet.NET is a shared-source project to make personal area networking technologies such as Bluetooth, Infrared (IrDA) and more, easily accessible from .NET code. Supports desktop, mobile or embedded systems. 32feet.NET is free for commercial or non-commercial use. If you use the binaries you can just use the library as-is, if you make modifications to the source you need to include the 32feet.NET License.txt document and Ensure the file headers are not modified/removed. The project currently consists of the following libraries:-
Bluetooth
IrDA
Object Exchange
Bluetooth support requires a device with either the Microsoft, Widcomm, BlueSoleil, or Stonestreet One Bluetopia Bluetooth stack. Requires .NET Compact Framework v3.5 or above and Windows CE.NET 4.2 or above, or .NET Framework v3.5 for desktop Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8. A subset of functionality is available for Windows Phone 8 and Windows Embedded Handheld 8 in the InTheHand.Phone.Bluetooth.dll library.
The SP2526A device is a dual +3.0V to +5.5V USB Supervisory Power Control Switch ideal
for self-powered and bus-powered Universal Serial Bus (USB) applications. Each switch has
low on-resistance (110mΩ typical) and can supply 500mA minimum. The fault currents are
limited to 1.0A typical and the flag output pin for each switch is available to indicate fault
conditions to the USB controller. The thermal shutdown feature will prevent damage to the
device when subjected to excessive current loads. The undervoltage lockout feature will
Ensure that the device will remain off unless there is a valid input voltage present.
The AZ1117 is a series of low dropout three-terminal regulators with a dropout of 1.15V at 1A output current.
The AZ1117 series provides current limiting and thermal shutdown. Its circuit includes a trimmed bandgap reference to assure output voltage accuracy to be within 1% for 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 2.85V, 3.3V, 5.0V and adjustable versions or 2% for 1.2V version. Current limit is trimmed to Ensure specified output current and controlled short-circuit current. On-chip thermal shutdown provides protection against any combination of overload and ambient temperature that would create excessive junction temperature.
The AZ1117 has an adjustable version, that can provide the output voltage from 1.25V to 12V with only 2 external resistors.
Mobile communication devices like smart phones or tablet PCs enable us to
consume information at every location and at every time. The rapid development
of new applications and new services and the demand to access data in real time
create an increasing throughput demand. The data have to be transmitted reliably
to Ensure the desired quality of service. Furthermore, an improved utilization of
the bandwidth is desired to reduce the cost of transmission.
This book addresses two aspects of network operation quality; namely, resource
management and fault management.
Network operation quality is among the functions to be fulfilled in order to offer
quality of service, QoS, to the end user. It is characterized by four parameters:
– packet loss;
– delay;
– jitter, or the variation of delay over time;
– availability.
Resource management employs mechanisms that enable the first three parameters
to be guaranteed or optimized. Fault management aims to Ensure continuity of service.
The first gem of wisdom I ever acquired about consulting, obtained many years ago
from a former schoolmate, was to Ensure that everything is plugged in: no continuity, no
data. Wires carry voltages and currents from one place to another. Their behavior is
reasonably simple and predictable—at least for sufficiently low data rates and short
lengths—and they can be seen, grabbed, traced, and tugged.
The radio spectrum is one of the most precious resources which must be managed
to Ensure efficient access for the wireless communication services which use it. The
allocation and management of spectrum are administered by the regulatory
authorities. Traditionally, spectrum allocation is carried out exclusively of its use in
large geographic areas and assigning frequency bands to specific users or service
providers is proved to be inefficient. Recently, substantial knowledge about
dynamic spectrum access scheme has been accumulated to enable efficient spectrum
sharing.
This paper reviews key factors to practical ESD
protection design for RF and analog/mixed-signal (AMS) ICs,
including general challenges emerging, ESD-RFIC interactions,
RF ESD design optimization and prediction, RF ESD design
characterization, ESD-RFIC co-design technique, etc. Practical
design examples are discussed. It means to provide a systematic
and practical design flow for whole-chip ESD protection design
optimization and prediction for RF/AMS ICs to Ensure 1 st Si
design success.
Since the 1990s the EU has been pursuing climate change mitigation targets. Following the
international commitment to the legally binding greenhouse gas reduction under the Kyoto
Protocol, the 2020 policy package consists of a set of binding legislation to Ensure that the EU
meets its climate and energy targets for the year 2020. The package sets three key targets: 20%
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (from 1990 levels), 20% of EU energy from renewables (as
well as a 10% target for renewable fuels) and 20% improvement in energy efficiency. The targets
were set by EU leaders in 2007 and enacted in legislation in 2009 3 . They are also headline targets of
the Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.
Commercial energy storage has moved from the margins to the mainstream as it
fosters flexibility in our smarter, increasingly integrated energy systems. The
energy density, availability, and relatively clean fossil profile of natural gas Ensure
its critical role as a fuel for heating and electricity generation. As a transportation
fuel, natural gas continues to increase its market penetration; much of this has been
enabled by emerging developments in storage technology.
