...1 Jagadish Chandra Bose: The Real Inventor of Marconi’s Wireless Receiver Varun Aggarwal, Div. Of Electronics and Comm. Engg., NSIT, Delhi, India 1. Introduction The aim of the present article is to acquaint the younger generation that the real inventor of wireless was not Guglielmo Marconi (Italy), but Jagadish Chandra Bose (India). The classic paper of Dr. P. K. Bondopadhyay [1] published by the IEEE has now established this fact. The article is organised as follows. In the second section, the motivation of this article is discussed. In Section 3, the technical details of the experiment conducted by Marconi in the year 1901, where he claimed to receive trans-atlantic waves on a radio for the first time are given. Next, Section 4 discusses the controversy surrounding the experiment and provides substantial evidence that the receiving device was invented by J. C. Bose. Thereafter, in Section 5, the technical aspects of the receiving device and its working is discussed. Finally, Section 6 concludes the given report. 2. Motivation This article takes you into the past into the history of radio invention. In this section, I will like to discuss the motivation for choosing this topic. 1. The choice of this topic is apparently linked with the irritation of a student of electronics and communication engineering (studying in India) that the fact that Marconi’s wireless was actually invented by Sir J C Bose is not well-known among engineering students, academicians...

B&O automotive Analysis In section 9.1 of the chapter, Tidd and Bessant explain about the processes that need to be followed to develop a new product. They show different models of processes such as the stage-gate process and the development funnel method - However they warn the reader about how this models attempt to explain the whole process of development of a new product in a simple and linear way. They state: “However, in practice the development of new products and services is inherently a complex and iterative process, and this makes it difficult to model for practical purposes.” This does not mean that we should not consider any of these models; however, we should be careful not to force the process to fit exactly with the model. In response to this, Tidd and Bessant propose a simplified model with only four stages: concept generation, project assessment...

...The minimum contacts requirement means that a defendant must have enough connection to the state where a case has been filed for a judge to conclude that it's fair for the state to exercise power over the defendant. Jurisdiction over an out-of-state defendant is referred to as extraterritorial in personam jurisdiction, also known as personal jurisdiction. It allows a court to exercise jurisdiction over the person, and is the fundamental requirement necessary for a court to hear the merits of a claim (www.legal-dictionary.com). In the past, a state could exercise jurisdiction only within its territorial boundaries, however the requirement of physical presence was changed in1945 after the state of Washington brought suit against a Delaware company - International Shoe Co. During the process, the Supreme Court has set the following criteria that were used in analyzing whether jurisdiction over a nonresident is proper: * the defendant has purposefully availed himself or herself of the benefits of the state so as to reasonably foresee being haled into court in that state; * that the forum state has sufficient interest in the dispute; * that haling the defendant into court does not offend "notions of fair play and substantial justice" (www.casebriefs.com). After the lawsuit individual states began enacting long-arm statutes setting forth their requirements for personal jurisdiction over nonresidents. Illinois was in the forefront of protecting its resident corporations...

...its people in the making of the modern world. From the decline of the great empire of the Mughals and the rise of British hegemony, to the rise of nationalism, the coming of independence and partition, the consolidation of new nation states despite regional wars and conflicts, and the emergence of India as the largest democracy in the world, this paper is a comprehensive and analytical survey of the subcontinent's modern history. The dynamic and complex relationships between changing forms of political power and religious identities, economic transformations, and social and cultural change are studied in the period from 1757 to 2007. In normal circumstances students will be given 6 supervisions in groups of 1 or 2. Key themes and brief overview: The paper begins by examining the rise of British power in the context of economic developments indigenous to southern Asia; it analyses the role played by Indian polities and social groups in the expansion of the East India Company's activities. It tracks the emergence of modern intelligentsias and their definitions of what constituted proper religious, public and domestic behaviour. The paper places these changes in the context of the concurrent decline of Indian handicrafts and the impact of British revenue arrangements on rural society, and explores India's place in the...

...renowned company launched in 2009 by Jason Lucash and Mike Syzmcak, who produce premium quality audio products. It was in their travels that the idea for OrigAudio came about as they recognised a need for an eco-friendly, portable solution for listening to music while on the go. They were inspired by the Chinese take-out box; foldable, easily compactable and recyclable; the ‘origami of audio’ was born, (OrigAudio, 2009). Consumers today are looking for product that serves a specific benefit, whether that be functional or emotional, this is where the ‘Fold n Play’ portable speakers by OrigAudio comes in. ‘Fold n Play’ is an innovative product because it combines two new elements such as the ability to fold down flat, utilising the Japanese art of origami and it is recyclable (environmentally friendly), just what the consumers are looking for these days. The portable speaker industry is a very lucrative industry, according to Consumer Electroncis, (2015), earning a staggering $1.4 billion in revenue in 2014. There is a strong demand for quality portable speakers. When it comes to music, people don’t mind paying more for quality. A lot of companies such as Bose and Beats by Dre have bought out wireless portable speakers but the problem with these are they require power to run the devices and then need to be recharged when they run flat. This is where OrigAudio is ahead of the competition and why they have been so successful with their products. OrigAudio is the only company that...
