  • Executive Summary
    Meeting: Study session Meeting date: September 14, 2020 Written report: 7 Executive summary Title: Comcast franchise renewal update Recommended action: **Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, this item is considered essential business and is Categorized as Time-Sensitive** • The report is presented for information only. No action is required. Policy consideration: Is the progress on the franchise renewal in keeping with council expectations? Summary: The city’s current franchise agreement with Comcast expires in January 2021. Upon receipt of Comcast’s request to renew its cable franchise in the city, the city notified Comcast of its intent to conduct informal renewal negotiations in accordance with the federal Cable Act. To prepare for negotiations, the city evaluated Comcast’s past performance under the existing franchise and conducted a needs assessment to determine the future cable-related Public- Educational-Government (PEG) community needs and interests of the city. This is the criteria prescribed by the Cable Act. Following the conclusion of the needs assessment, the city’s cable franchise attorney developed a draft franchise agreement, which the city plans to submit to Comcast for consideration. Financial or budget considerations: The final franchise agreement will determine the franchise fee, based on a percentage of gross revenues derived from cable service and PEG (public- educational-government) capital funding to be received by the city over the next franchise term, expected to be 10 years. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to creating opportunities to build social capital through community engagement. Supporting documents: Community needs assessment report and appendices October 28, 2019 council study session report Prepared by: Jacque Smith, communications and marketing manager Reviewed by: Clint Pires, chief information officer Brian Grogan, attorney at law, Moss & Barnett Approved by: Tom Harmening, city manager Study session meeting of Sept.

  • Fax Machine (Edited from Wikipedia)
    Fax Machine (Edited from Wikipedia) SUMMARY Fax (short for facsimile), sometimes called telecopying or telefax, is the telephonic transmission of scanned printed material (both text and images), normally to a telephone number connected to a printer or other output device. The original document is scanned with a fax machine (or a telecopier), which processes the contents (text or images) as a single fixed graphic image, converting it into a bitmap (a kind of digital image file), and then transmitting it through the telephone system in the form of audio-frequency tones. The receiving fax machine interprets the tones and reconstructs the image, printing a paper copy. Early systems used direct conversions of image darkness to audio tone in a continuous or analog manner. Since the 1980s, most machines modulate the transmitted audio frequencies using a digital representation of the page which is compressed to quickly transmit areas which are all-white or all-black. HISTORY Scottish inventor Alexander Bain worked on chemical mechanical fax type devices and in 1846 was able to reproduce graphic signs in laboratory experiments. He received British patent 9745 on May 27, 1843 for his "Electric Printing Telegraph." Frederick Bakewell made several improvements on Bain's design and demonstrated a telefax machine. The Pantelegraph was invented by the Italian physicist Giovanni Caselli. He introduced the first commercial telefax service between Paris and Lyon in 1865, some 11 years before the invention of the telephone. In 1880, English inventor Shelford Bidwell constructed the scanning phototelegraph that was the first telefax machine to scan any two-dimensional original, not requiring manual plotting or drawing.

  • California Interoperability Field Operations Guide (FOG)
    Cal-IFOG 1 June 2020 Letter of Introduction Since the first version of the California Interoperability Field Operations Guide (Cal-IFOG) was published in 2010, it has become an indispensable tool in day-to-day Public Safety communications and it encourages more efficient and effective use of our limited mutual aid spectrum. The Cal IFOG is a living document that is updated through the feedback provided by every operational area throughout California. Please accept my sincere gratitude for your efforts and I understand that without your input this update would not have been possible. The purpose of the Cal-IFOG is to provide a single source document for the usage guidelines of the statewide and National Interoperability channels in support of the California Statewide Communication Interoperability Plan (CalSCIP). Please keep in mind that the mutual aid frequencies are open to all emergency responders, who are encouraged to program their radios as appropriate and authorized. As always, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules and regulations with regards to licensing and operations should be followed. Every effort was made to ensure the information presented is accurate. In the event you do find an error, please contact either the California Statewide Interoperability Executive Committee (CalSIEC), your Planning Area, or the Statewide Interoperability Coordinator (SWIC), and they will ensure the updates make it into the next version. Thank you to all that contributed to the development of the Cal-IFOG and those dedicated to ensuring that it stays relevant for years to come.

  • Airband Radio Operator Certificate Manual
    Airband Radio Operator Certificate Manual 1- Version: January 2012 About the airband radio operator license Very high frequency (VHF) airband radios are becoming more common as a tool for aircraft pilots to identify the location and intention of other aircraft in their vicinity (for VHF use at non-towered aerodromes see Civil Aviation Advisory Publication 166-1(0) and 166-2(0)).i In some classes of airspace the use of VHF airband radios is mandatory. Using a VHF airband radio requires a license endorsement. To obtain a VHF airband radio operators license you must satisfactorily (80% pass mark) complete both written and practical exams. This manual provides you with information regarding VHF airband radio use in Australia for the satisfactory completion of the written VHF airband radio operator examination. Radio communications in Australian are controlled by the Australian Communications and Media Authority ( www.acma.gov.au ). About the airband Airband radios transmit and receive a radio frequency. Radios are set to transmit and receive on specific frequencies across a band of frequencies. The radio waves that are transmitted and received are base on wavelengths and amplitudes. A cycle is one complete wave action. The frequency, measured in Hertz, is the number of cycles passing a given point in one second. One cycle per second = 1 Hertz (Hz) 1,000 Hz = 1 kilohertz (KHz) 1,000 KHz = 1 megahertz (MHz) 1,000 MHz = 1 gigahertz (GHz) The wavelength is the length of one cycle. The height of the peak or trough from the centreline is called the amplitude ; the greater the amplitude, the stronger the signal.

  • Battle of the Brains: Election-Night Forecasting at the Dawn of the Computer Age
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: BATTLE OF THE BRAINS: ELECTION-NIGHT FORECASTING AT THE DAWN OF THE COMPUTER AGE Ira Chinoy, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Professor Emeritus Maurine Beasley Philip Merrill College of Journalism This dissertation examines journalists’ early encounters with computers as tools for news reporting, focusing on election-night forecasting in 1952. Although election night 1952 is frequently mentioned in histories of computing and journalism as a quirky but seminal episode, it has received little scholarly attention. This dissertation asks how and why election night and the nascent field of television news became points of entry for computers in news reporting. The dissertation argues that although computers were employed as pathbreaking “electronic brains” on election night 1952, they were used in ways consistent with a long tradition of election-night reporting. As central events in American culture, election nights had long served to showcase both news reporting and new technology, whether with 19th-century devices for displaying returns to waiting crowds or with 20th-century experiments in delivering news by radio. In 1952, key players – television news broadcasters, computer manufacturers, and critics – showed varied reactions to employing computers for election coverage. But this computer use in 1952 did not represent wholesale change. While live use of the new technology was a risk taken by broadcasters and computer makers in a quest for attention, the underlying methodology of forecasting from early returns did not represent a sharp break with pre-computer approaches. And while computers were touted in advance as key features of election-night broadcasts, the “electronic brains” did not replace “human brains” as primary sources of analysis on election night in 1952.
