The Architecture of a Mind-Machine
Abstract and Figures
In this chapter, we take bold step and propose the unthinkable: The genesis of a Customizable Mind-Machine. Thought that stems from the mind is deeply seated in a biological framework of neurons. The biological origin lies in the marvel of evolution over the eons and refined ever so fast, faster than in the prior centuries. Three (a, b, and c), triadic objects are ceaselessly at work. At a personal level (a) mind, knowledge, and machines have been intertwined like inspiration, words, and language since the dawn of the human evolution and more recently, (b) technology, manufacturing, and economics have formed a hub of progress, (c) wealth, global marketing, and insatiable needs of humans and civilization. These triadic cycles of nine essential objects of human existence are spinning quicker and quicker every year. The Internet offers the mind no choice but to leap and soar over history and over the globe. Alternatively, human mind can sink deeper and deeper into ignorance and oblivion. More recently, the Artificial Intelligence at work in the Internet had challenged the natural intelligence at the cognizance level in the mind to find its way to breakthroughs and innovations.

From iPods to EZPass technology to YouTube to eGovernment initiatives, the impact of technology is changing our lives more and more each day. This book, a counterpart to a Maryland Public Television documentary, chronicles how and why and shows ways people can take advantage of the revolution in their personal and professional lives. As technology expert Henry C. Lucas, Jr., argues, the fundamentals of business and the economy—not to mention the details of daily life—are changing in every market, in every industry, and in every nation. This book explores the most significant of these technology-enabled transformations to help readers understand and appreciate the opportunities and threats presented by a new, technology-driven global economy.
Among other things, Inside the Future demonstrates that: -A revolution in technology is transforming business and the way individuals live and work. -It's essential to adapt to change. Resisting technological advances is futile, and countries or people that fall behind in technology may never catch up. -The U.S. needs to prepare current and future workers for an economy that incorporates technology in every business process, an economy in which there are almost no constraints from time and place, and an economy in which most hierarchical organizations disappear. -The future competitiveness of the country depends on our ability to innovate and implement change enabled by technology. This revolution is leaving no person or organization untouched. From business to education and healthcare, the digitization and mobilization of every process affects us all. Yet this isn't a book about technology, but one that shows how people and organizations can adapt technology to transform their businesses as well as create a more productive, satisfying personal life. Readers will gain a new awareness of how leading organizations apply IT to create transformations, and how they can use technology to improve their lives, remain competitive in the workforce, and survive in this new age of constant change and re-invention.
In the early fabrication of fibers (mid-1960s to early 1970s), impurities by absorption was the major reason for high attenuation of the optical signal. An extremely high level of purity against some elements is necessary. For example, two parts per billion (ppb) of cobalt can induce a 10 dB/km loss; 20 ppb of nickel, iron or chromium, or 50 ppb of copper, or even 100 ppb of manganese or vanadium can each induce 10 dB/km loss through the fiber. In 1970, the quality control of the fiber manufacture process was poor enough to induce a 20 dB/km fiber. In 1972, the loss was reduced to about 4 dB/km and fiber for communication became scientifically and economically feasible for longer distance trunk applications.
This article presents a comprehensive scholarly treatment of Judge Harold H. Greene’s administration of the 1982 consent decree by which the Regional Bell Operating Companies ('RBOC') were prohibited from long-distance and certain other lines of business in the telecommunications industry. Part I reviews the basic facts surrounding the entry of the consent decree, known as the Modification of Final Judgment ('MFJ'), and the structural separation it imposed on the Bell System. Part II discusses the administration of the MFJ in the first several years after the January 1, 1984 divestiture, including Judge Greene’s procedures for RBOC requests for relief and the Department of Justice’s ongoing role in administering the MFJ. Part III focuses on the ensuing massive struggle among the parties to the MFJ and other industry players over whether the line-of-business restrictions should be removed, a struggle that took the form of the so-called 'triennial review' spearheaded by the DOJ. Part IV provides a brief overview of the litigation that arose in the aftermath of the D.C. Circuit’s 1990 triennial review ruling and describes the RBOCs’ ultimately successful effort to get out of Judge Greene’s courtroom. Judge Greene terminated the MFC after the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, legislation which retained several of the MFJ’s restrictions. Part V synthesizes the foregoing account into a comprehensive assessment of Judge Greene’s administration of the MFJ.
This book presents current and established techniques for designing and engineering new intelligent telecommunications systems. The objective of this book is twofold. First, to provide communication system designers with information for modernizing existing networks, and for making these networks carry voice, data and multimedia information. Second, to provide network designers with numerous illustrations for fabricating and building new networks using the most recent technology.
This work also includes a vast amount of material on many of the rapidly expanding telecommunications related areas such as Wireless ATM, HDSL, ADSL, loop topologies from the ANSI, ETSI, ITU, copper and hybrid fiber coaxial systems, cable TV networks, ISDN performance, fiber optics, SONET, and other current telecom topics. It includes a wealth of figures and tables as well as 21 pages of telecom acronyms with definitions.
Design and Engineering of Intelligent Communication Systems is written for researchers and telecom professionals interested in building intelligent communications systems.
The third edition of Computer Architecture and Organization features a comprehensive updating of the material-especially case studies, worked examples, and problem sets-while retaining the book's time-proven emphasis on basic prinicples. Reflecting the dramatic changes in computer technology that have taken place over the last decade, the treatment of performance-related topics such as pipelines, caches, and RISC's has been expanded. Many examples and end-of-chapter problems have also been added.Table of contents1 Computation and Computers2 Design Methodology3 Processor Design4 Datapath Design5 Control Design6 Memory Organization7 System Organization
