ECE 2008 the BRADLEY DEPARTMENT of ELECTRICAL and COMPUTER ENGINEERING This Report Was Produced with Funds from the Harry Lynde Bradley Foundation ECE 2008 THE BRADLEY DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING This report was produced with funds from the Harry Lynde Bradley Foundation. BEHIND THE COVER: The MANIAC Challenge, organ- ized by an ECE team, generated the first large multi-hop mo- bile ad hoc network in November 2007 (p. 9). This was one of many activities in the department related to networks — from cognitive radio to power distribution to gene networks. The underlying graphic is based on a work by abstract artist Ja’ Ski, called “Futuristic Network.” Cover illustration by Christina O’Connor.

  • 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.

Supplementary Notes 1 16. Abstract An investigation is made of the feasibility of developing compact transmit antennas and/or other means to efficiently couple VLF to MF band radio energy between portable wireless communication units in coal mines. The completely wireless communication ranges between two portable radios equipped with practically-sized reference loop antennas in represen- tative coal mine environments are estimated. Antenna technology is assessed with respect to transmit moment, range, intrinsic safety, battery and wearability requirements to deter- mine the most suitable antenna types for use by miners.
