What Made Bell Labs Special? Ley in Recent Years, the High Pay and Excellent Working Conditions at Bell Labs Attracted Many Who Might Look Elsewhere Today
physicsworld.com Christmas books Andrew Gelman What made Bell Labs special? ley in recent years, the high pay and excellent working conditions at Bell Labs attracted many who might look elsewhere today. Second, there was nothing to do at the labs all day but work. I have known lots of middle-aged profes- sors who don’t spend much time teaching but don’t do any research either. At Bell Labs it was harder to be deadwood. Located as it was in the middle of nowhere, the Murray Hill campus was not a place to relax, and if you were going into the lab every weekday anyhow, you might as well work – there was nothing better to do. Several researchers, including Shannon and Shockley, had sharp mid-career productivity declines – but after they left Murray Hill.

G.W.A.T.T. (Global 'What If' Analyzer of Network Energy Consumption)
G.W.A.T.T. New Bell Labs application able to measure the impact of technologies like SDN & NFV on network energy consumption WHITE PAPER Increased energy consumption is a key challenge for the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) industry. Network energy bills represent more than 10 percent of operators’ operational expenses. With the advent of the Internet of Things era, and the inexorable consumption of video and cloud services promising to drive massively increased traffic across networks, it is even more important for operators to have a complete view of the energy impact of different technology and architectural evolution options. G.W.A.T.T. (Global “What if” Analyzer of NeTwork Energy ConsumpTion) has been built to allow operators and industry stakeholders to better understand these challenges. This application visualizes the current and future communication networks and forecasts key trends in energy consumption, energy efficiency, cost and carbon emissions based on a wide variety of traffic growth scenarios and technology evolution choices. It is intended as a mind-sharing tool to grasp the importance of the energy challenge and how innovation and new technologies can help address these issues in the future. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The explosion of the Internet traffic volume resulting from both the worldwide broadband subscriber base extension and the increasing number and diversity of available applications and services require a relentless deployment of new technologies and infrastructures to deliver the expected user-experience. At the same time, it also raises the issue of the energy consumption and energy cost of the Internet and more generally of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). -

Measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation at 19 Ghz
Measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation at 19 GHz 1 Introduction Measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation dominate modern experimental cosmology: there is no greater source of information about the early universe, and no other single discovery has had a greater impact on the theories of the formation of the cosmos. Observation of the CMB confirmed the Big Bang model of the origin of our universe and gave us a look into the distant past, long before the formation of the very first stars and galaxies. In this lab, we seek to recreate this founding pillar of modern physics. The experiment consists of a temperature measurement of the CMB, which is actually “light” left over from the Big Bang. A radiometer is used to measure the intensity of the sky signal at 19 GHz from the roof of the physics building. A specially designed horn antenna allows you to observe microwave noise from isolated patches of sky, without interference from the relatively hot (and high noise) ground. The radiometer amplifies the power from the horn by a factor of a billion. You will calibrate the radiometer to reduce systematic effects: a cryogenically cooled reference load is periodically measured to catch changes in the gain of the amplifier circuit over time. 2 Overview 2.1 History The first observation of the CMB occurred at the Crawford Hill NJ location of Bell Labs in 1965. Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, intending to do research in radio astronomy at 21 cm wavelength using a special horn antenna designed for satellite communications, noticed a background noise signal in all of their radiometric measurements. -

Teletype Corporation commemorated its Golden Anniversary in 1957. Fifty years is a short span in thehistory of Communication. Yet in that time, Teletype has developed its equipment from primitive models with limited use or acceptance, to the speedy precision machines which are an indispensable part of modern communications. Today Teletype equipment is an important economic tool, serving in many and varied ways the demands of our way of life. This is the story of Teletype. It is a story of challenges met and problems solved, of faith in the future and of the surpassing of what were only dreams. Tom-toms, church bells, smoke signals, the Dead Sea Scrolls, And it took two operators to get a telegram over the wires – the and the Pony Express – these are all milestones in the endless sender the Morse key to translate the message into dots and effort to bridge time and distance by improving communications. dashes, and another operator at the receiving and to listen for the Until the 19th century the only reliable way to deliver a code on the Morse sounder and write out the telegram by hand or message was hand-to-hand or face-to-face.
