Ultrasonic signals are increasingly being used for predicting material behavior, both in an engineering context (detecting anomalies in a variety of structures) and a biological context (examining human bones, body parts and unborn fetuses).
Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology consists of transmitting radio signals over frequency bandwidths from 500 MHz to several GHz. Its unique... Læs mere
Ultra Wide Band Technology (UWB) has reached a level of maturity that allows us to offer wireless links with either high or low data rates. These wireless links are frequently... Læs mere
With the impact of the recent financial crises, more attention must be given to new models in finance rejecting Black-Scholes-Samuelson assumptions leading to what is called non-Gaussian finance.
