In this paper, we provide an overview of the security concerns introduced by wireless LANs, current approaches to wireless LAN security, their limitations, and the weaknesses of various “band aid” security solutions. We conclude by describing how the ReefEdge Connect System provides a comprehensive solution to wireless LAN security.
A short tour on wavelets. This documents describes general aspects in wavelet field. It concerns a mathematical approach and can be used as a teaching material.
Although recent popular attention is focused on LithiumIon batteries, one must not forget that other batterychemistries, such as Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) and NickelMetal Hydride (NiMH) have advantages in rechargeablepower systems. Nickel-based batteries are robust, capableof high discharge rates, have good cycle life, do notrequire special protection circuitry and are less expensivethan Li-Ion. Among the two, NiMH batteries are rapidlyreplacing NiCd because of their higher capacity (40% to50% more) and the environmental concerns of the toxiccadmium contained in NiCd batteries.
As environmental concerns over traditional lighting increaseand the price of LEDs decreases, high power LEDsare fast becoming a popular lighting solution for offl ineapplications. In order to meet the requirements of offl inelighting—such as high power factor, high effi ciency, isolationand TRIAC dimmer compatibility—prior LED driversused many external discrete components, resulting incumbersome solutions. The LT®3799 solves complexity,space and performance problems by integrating all therequired functions for offl ine LED lighting.
Aspect-Oriented Software Developement
Coverage includes
Using AOSD to streamline complex systems development without sacrificing flexibility or scalability
How AOSD builds on the object-oriented paradigmand how it s different
State-of-the-art best practices for the AOSD development process
Languages and foundations: separating concerns, filter technologies, improving modularity, integrating new features, and more
Using key AOSD tools, including AspectJ, Hyper/J, JMangler, and Java Aspect Components
Engineering aspect-oriented systems: UML, concern modeling and elaboration, dependency management, and aspect composition
Developing more secure applications with AOSD techniques
Applying aspect-oriented programming to database systems

The authors show to identify, design, implement, test, and refactor use-case modules, as well as extend them. They also demonstrate how to design use-case modules with the Unified Modeling Language (UML)emphasizing enhancements made in UML 2.0and how to achieve use-case modularity using aspect technologies, notably AspectJ.
Key topics include
Making the case for use cases and aspects
Capturing and modeling concerns with use cases
Keeping concerns separate with use-case modules
Modeling use-cases slices and aspects using the newest extensions to the UML notation
Applying use cases and aspects in projects
As I write this foreword, I am collaborating with four leading user interface
(UI) component vendors on a presentation for the 2004 JavaOneSM conference.
In our presentation, the vendors will show how they leverage JavaServerTM
Faces technology in their products. While developing the presentation, I am
learning some things about the work we’ve been doing on JavaServer Faces for
the past three years. The vendors have their own set of concerns unique to
adapting their product for JavaServer Faces, but they all voice one opinion
loud and clear: they are very relieved to finally have a standard for web-based
user interfaces.
Performance analysis belongs to the domain of applied mathematics. The
major domain of application in this book concerns telecommunications sys-
tems and networks. We will mainly use stochastic analysis and probability
theory to address problems in the performance evaluation of telecommuni-
cations systems and networks. The first chapter will provide a motivation
and a statement of several problems.
Modern day large power systems are essentially dynamic systems with stringent
requirements of high reliability for the continuous availability of electricity.
Reliability is contingent on the power system retaining stable operation during
steady-state operation and also following disturbances. The subject of power sys-
tem stability has been studied for many decades. With new developments, and there
have been many over the past couple of decades, new concerns and problems arise
that need to be studied and analysed. The objective of this book is a step in that
direction though not ignoring the conventional and well-established approaches.
