TARGET REPORT [16 records]

Record 1 2017-03-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Telecommunications
CONT

There are thousands of telecommunications operators in the world. For global service one can select a global carrier or a country-specific carrier with an international offering. And, as the Yankee Group suggests in a report entitled What Next for Global Carriers?, the future may offer even more options "as companies in adjacent sectors such as Internet service providers, applications service providers and systems integrators begin to target major network users and seek to gain control of the relationship with customers. "

Domaine(s)
  • Télécommunications
CONT

Formus Communications, un transporteur mondial concurrent œuvrant sur les marchés internationaux et dont le siège est à Denver aux États-Unis, a choisi Nortel Networks pour lui fournir des solutions de réseaux unifiés, afin d'assurer des services très large bande à grande vitesse sur des marchés choisis dans le monde entier.

Record 2 2017-01-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bioengineering
  • Molecular Biology
OBS

deconvolution microscope : using the deconvolution microscope, researchers can see the locations of target molecules inside the cell. Seeing where glowing molecules reside within a cell is helpful for a range of research projects--from studies of how the distribution of various proteins changes during an organism's development to investigations of how administration of a drug alters the locations of certain proteins. The microscope, called DeltaVision, is manufactured by Applied Precision, based in Issaquah, Wash. It works by magnifying images and quantifying the intensity of light shed by the sample. The user specifies which colors of light are of interest. For instance, a user can program the microscope to report the intensity of a particular shade of green shining from the cytoplasm of a cell. After a researcher uses the microscope to make a series of optical slices through a specimen, the scope's computer "deconvolves" the images--in other words, it subtracts the out-of-focus light. Then the computer stacks together the images of the slices to reconstruct the original microscope sample. This gives researchers gh-resolution images of the sample's three-dimensional structure.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Technique biologique
  • Biologie moléculaire
CONT

La microscopie de déconvolution à champ large est réalisée avec un microscope à fluorescence de facture classique. Les images obtenues sont donc «parasitées» par la fluorescence émise hors du plan de focalisation. Toutefois, un traitement informatique permet d'éliminer ce problème [...] Cette technique [...] permet d'utiliser des intensités d'illumination beaucoup plus faibles que celles qui sont mises en œuvre par la microscopie confocale.

A hierarchy is a description of an organization's structure. This particular structure allows members to communicate with other members in the structure, but they must always do this through their immediate superior. In turn, each superior may have to report directly to his superior, until the target member is under the authority of a superior with the message. See also Heterarchy.

CONT

A new kind of L-band long-range surveillance radar family designed not only for air traffic control and air defense but also for shipboard air defense.... The radar's features include a high-gain, low-sidelobe, shaded beam antenna; a master oscillator power amplification transmitter with a combination of a solid state amplifier and wide-band klystron; and a wideband receiver with low noise and three channels. Quadraphase coded pulse compression techniques are employed. The digital target extractor can extract, process, and report the target data automatically.
