ATI’s Top 5 Engineering Course Samplers of 2011
Posted by admin in Acoustics & Sonar, Analysis and Signal Processing, Defense, Including Radar, Missiles and EW, ENGINEERING, Space and Satellites, Systems Engineering and Project Management on February 1, 2012
What Are the Tools of Your Trade?
Our mission here at the Applied Technology Institute (ATI) is to provide expert training and the highest quality professional development in space, communications, defense, sonar, radar, and signal processing. We are not a one-size-fits-all educational facility. Our short classes include both introductory and advanced courses.
ATI’s Top Five Engineering Courses for 2011
The five engineering courses for 2011 are highlighted below:
#1 Practical Statistical Signal Processing – using MATLAB
This 4-day course covers signal processing systems for radar, sonar, communications, speech, imaging and other applications based on state-of-the-art computer algorithms. These algorithms include important tasks such as data simulation, parameter estimation, filtering, interpolation, detection, spectral analysis, beamforming, classification, and tracking. Until now these algorithms could only be learned by reading the latest technical journals. This course will take the mystery out of these designs by introducing the algorithms with a minimum of mathematics and illustrating the key ideas via numerous examples using MATLAB.
Designed for engineers, scientists, and other professionals who wish to study the practice of statistical signal processing without the headaches, this course will make extensive use of hands-on MATLAB implementations and demonstrations. Attendees will receive a suite of software source code and are encouraged to bring their own laptops to follow along with the demonstrations.
#2 Advanced Topics in Digital Signal Processing
This four-day course is designed for communication systems engineers, programmers, implementers and managers who need to understand current practice and next generation DSP techniques for upcoming communication systems. DSP is more than mapping legacy analog designs to a DSP implementation. To avoid compromise solution appropriate for an earlier time period, we return to first principles to learn how to apply new technology capabilities to the design of next generation communication systems.
#3 Engineering Systems Modeling WithExcel/VBA
This two-day course is for engineers, scientists, and others interested in developing custom engineering system models. Principles and practices are established for creating integrated models using Excel and its built-in programming environment, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Real-world techniques and tips not found in any other course, book, or other resource are revealed. Step-bystep implementation, instructor-led interactive examples, and integrated participant exercises solidify the concepts introduced. Application examples are demonstrated from the instructor’s experience in unmanned underwater vehicles, LEO spacecraft, cryogenic propulsion systems, aerospace & military power systems, avionics thermal management, and other projects.
#4 Wavelets: A Conceptual, Practical Approach
Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT) are in wide use and work very well if your signal stays at a constant frequency (“stationary”). But if the signal could vary, have pulses, “blips” or any other kind of interesting behavior then you need Wavelets. Wavelets are remarkable tools that can stretch and move like an amoeba to find the hidden “events” and then simultaneously give you their location, frequency, and shape. Wavelet Transforms allow this and many other capabilities not possible with conventional methods like the FFT.
This course is vastly different from traditional math-oriented Wavelet courses or books in that we use examples, figures, and computer demonstrations to show how to understand and work with Wavelets. This is a comprehensive, in-depth, up-to-date treatment of the subject, but from an intuitive, conceptual point of view. We do look at a few key equations from the traditional literature but only AFTER the concepts are demonstrated and understood. If desired, further study from scholarly texts and papers is then made much easier and more palatable when you already understand the fundamental equations and how they relate to the real world.
#5 Computational Electromagnetics
This 3-day course teaches the basics of CEM with application examples. Fundamental concepts in the solution of EM radiation and scattering problems are presented. Emphasis is on applying computational methods to practical applications. You will develop a working knowledge of popular methods such as the FEM, MOM, FDTD, FIT, and TLM including asymptotic and hybrid methods. Students will then be able to identify the most relevant CEM method for various applications, avoid common user pitfalls, understand model validation and correctly interpret results. Students are encouraged to bring their laptop to work examples using the provided FEKO Lite code. You will learn the importance of model development and meshing, post- processing for scientific visualization and presentation of results.

Can Neutrinos Travel Faster Than Light?
Posted by admin in ENGINEERING on September 26, 2011
Yes, according to the CERN scientists from Geneva.
Scientists at the world’s largest physics lab say they have clocked subatomic particles traveling faster than light, a feat that – if true – would break a fundamental pillar of science.
The readings have so astounded researchers that they are asking others to independently verify the measurements before claiming an actual discovery.
“This would be such a sensational discovery if it were true that one has to treat it extremely carefully,” said John Ellis, a theoretical physicist at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, who was not involved in the experiment.
Nothing is supposed to move faster than light, at least according to Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity: The famous E (equals) mc2 equation. That stands for energy equals mass times the speed of light squared.
But neutrinos – one of the strangest well-known particles in physics – have now been observed smashing past this cosmic speed barrier of 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers).
CERN says a neutrino beam fired from a particle accelerator near Geneva to a lab 454 miles (730 kilometers) away in Italy traveled 60 nanoseconds faster than the speed of light. Scientists calculated the margin of error at just 10 nanoseconds, making the difference statistically significant. But given the enormity of the find, they still spent months checking and rechecking their results to make sure there was no flaws in the experiment.
The CERN researchers are now looking to the United States and Japan to confirm the results.

Home Noise Is A Groaning Sound
Posted by Jim in Acoustics & Sonar, ENGINEERING on August 13, 2011
Home noise is a groaning sound that seems to be coming from the first floor.
There are a few things that make plumbing pipes noisy and the most common is something called water hammer, then there is a ticking sound that occurs with plastic waste lines called pipe growth and the rarest is what I think you have – moaning. It is related to the venting system of the waste lines. More info at the link below.

DOD cyber defense plan: secure internet OR government controlled internet?
Posted by admin in Defense, Including Radar, Missiles and EW, ENGINEERING on July 26, 2011
It is not a secret to anybody that the next new war will be fought (or possibly is being fought) through internet. Previously the U.S. had determined that cyberattacks could be considered an act of war. It was disclosed, that in March one of the leading defense contractors was hacked by a foreign intruder who was able to get away with 24,000 files containing information on the newly developed weapons systems. Read more here
It is obvious that something needs to be done to defend our cyber borders.
Nearly $500 million were allocated to DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) to increase the number of cyber-aligned resources.
Last week DOD presented its new plan to secure our cyber space.
However, the problem will not be easily solved and the issue is highly controversial.
Why? Because to SECURE anything means to CONTROL it. In this case, we are talking about controlling the INTERNET- a worldwide interconnection of computer networks that facilitate the exchange of information among users!
A lot of people out there say that if we can’t control our borders how can we possibly “secure” the internet. Yet others consider the plan to be an intrusion on user’s privacy.
However, if the plan is not put in place here are just a few possible threats we are facing:
Espionage and national security breaches
Sabotage of military operations
Sabotage of the national electrical grid

ATI Announces Two New Wireless Courses
Posted by Val in ENGINEERING on May 31, 2011
Wireless Sensor Networks Rely on Radio Frequency (RF) Communications
Do You Know Your Way Around EMC for a Wireless Sensor Network?
Since 1984, the Applied Technology Institute (ATI) has provided leading-edge public courses and onsite technical training to DoD and NASA personnel, as well as contractors. Whether you are a busy engineer, a technical expert or a project manager, you can enhance your understanding of complex topics in a short time. You will also become aware of the basic vocabulary essential to interact meaningfully with your colleagues
How many of the following situations apply to you:
• Do your educational needs run more toward “Advanced Topics in Digital Signal Processing” instead of “Introduction to Business”?
• Do you count decibels (dBs) or dollars ($)?
• Are bit error rates more familiar to you than interest rates?
• Don’t have time for a full semester course?
• Is the “nearest campus” all the way across town at rush hour?
If one or more of situations apply to you or you are just in need of more technical training, then boost your career with the knowledge needed to provide better, faster, and cheaper solutions for sophisticated customers.
Why not take a short course instead? ATI short courses are less than a week long and are designed to help you keep your professional knowledge up-to-date. Our courses provide a practical overview of space and defense technologies which provide a strong foundation for understanding the issues that must be confronted in the use, regulation and development of complex systems.
DESIGNING WIRELESS SYSTEMS FOR EMC
This three day course provides a methodology for using electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) analysis techniques and tools for planning, designing, installing and operating wireless systems that are free from electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems.
Careful application of these techniques at appropriate stages in the wireless system life cycle will ensure EMC without either the wasteful expense of over-engineering or the uncertainties of under-engineering. This course discusses the basic EMI problems and describes the role and importance of analysis in achieving EMC. It introduces the student to the basic EMC analysis techniques.
The EMI interactions that can occur between a transmitter and a receiver are identified and analysis techniques and tools that may be used in the planning, design, development, installation and operation of wireless systems that are free of EMI are provided. The course is specifically directed toward EMI signals that are generated by potentially interfering transmitters, propagated and received via antennas and cause EMI in RF receivers. Mathematical models for the overall transmitter receiver EMI interactions and the EMI characteristics of transmitters, receivers, antennas, propagation and system performance are presented.
This four day course is designed for remote sensing engineers, process control architects, security system engineers, instrumentation designers, ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) developers, and program managers who wish to enhance their understanding of ad hoc wireless sensor networks (WSN) and how to design, develop, and implement these netted sensors to solve a myriad of applications including: smart building installation, process control, asset tracking, military operations and C4I applications, as well as energy monitoring. The concept of low-cost sensors, structured into a large network to provide extreme fidelity with an extensive capability over a large-scale system is described in detail using technologies derived from robust radio-stacked microcontrollers, cellular logic, service orientated architecture (SOA) based systems, and adroit insertion of adaptive, and changeable, middleware.
Largest Tidal Farm To Be Constructed In The Sound Of Islay In Scottland
Posted by admin in ENGINEERING on March 23, 2011
On March 22, 2011 Scottish Government announced that the world’s largest tidal power project will be built on the Sound Of Islay. The construction will begin in 2012 and is planned to be completed by 2020. The project is expected to cost about $85 million and will be capable of powering 5,000 homes. The facility will have 10 underwater HS100 tidal turbines and produce 10 megawatt. This is the large operation of that nature ever undertaken. The Scottish Government’s goal is to obtain 80% of the energy from renewable sources by 2020. This will put Scotland among the leaders in marine energy.
