    Brilliant Air Communication Case Study

    Communication is a function that cannot be overlooked in an organization. It is the key factor to motivate and improve employees’ morale and productivity. There are two types of communication which are written communication and oral communication. In my opinion, oral communications will be more effective than written communications. Therefore, Allegiant Air should conduct meeting which involves the entire level of employees and show how they can contribute to the organization's goal and what will be the organization change in the future. The business strategy and HR strategy should be delivered to all level of employees in Allegiant Air to enhance the employees’ understanding and motivate them to achieve the organization's objective. Allegiant Air may gather the information of existed problems from the employees as they are the one who is facing the real problem and their opinions would be useful to solve the problem.…

    Aviation Field Communication

    How critical is communication is the aviation field; frequent and consistent communication in the aviation field planes would not be in the air for very long! I could kiss my dreams of being a pilot good bye. I choose to became part of the Aviation Field, because I want to travel all over the world; however you can not travel all over the world flying blind. First you must have a good sense of direction, second you need to be able to listen and follow orders, third you have to take charge, in case emergence situations; this is critical and vital for survival for your crew, passengers, and Co-pilot. Logic and rational clear thinking is vital to analyze your situation; while a calm manner is necessary to communicate accordingly, and to not cause…

    Satelite Radio Case Study

    In 2001, Satellite Radio was new technology that many felt would revolutionize the way we listen to radio. It was the first major advancement in radio since FM emerged in the 1960’s. Satellite radio is a radio service broadcast digitally-encoded audio to Earth-based receivers, either directly from an orbiting satellite, or from the satellite to the receiver via terrestrial repeater station. Receiver radios were primarily in cars but could be in households, offices or carried as portable devices. Sirius Satellite Radio was founded by Martine Rothblatt, David Margolese and Robert Briskman in 1990 and the company petitioned the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for the use of S-band frequencies that the FCC later decided to allocate to digital audio broadcasting. In 1992, Rothblatt resigned as CEO and Margolese took over as chairman and CEO and later changed the name to CD Radio and spent the following five (5) years lobbying the FCC to allow satellite radio to be deployed. In 1997, CD Radio obtained regulatory clearance and not long after the FCC also sold a license to XM Satellite Radio formerly known as American Mobile Radio Corporation. In 1999, CD Radio changed their name to Sirius Satellite Radio to avoid associating itself with the soon to be outdated CD technology. Although Sirius was established first, XM actually launched their first broadcast on September 25 2001, nearly four (4) months before Sirius. Sirius first broadcast was on February 14, 2002 to only a few cities but expanded to the rest of the US by July 2002. Both companies combined spent over $3 billion to develop satellite technology, build and launch the satellites and for various other business expenses.…

    The Enormous Radio

    In the short story by John Cheever called "The Enormous Radio" it begins with Jim and Irene Westcotts appearing like the perfect American family. Cheever describes them as "the kind of people who seem to strike that satisfactory average of income, endeavor, and respectability" (Cheever 1). What is ironic about this story is the Westcotts are far from being the perfect family and the community they try to conform to is just as imperfect as the Westcotts themselves. A way the Westcotts try to live up to their society is by keeping secret the fact that they listen to the radio and attend musical events. This is because these activities were not something members of their community did. For example, Cheever says the "Westcotts differed from their friends, their classmates, and their neighbors only in an interest in music. They went to a great many concerts although they never mentioned this to anyone" (1). In the rest of the story Irene Westcott has an addiction to an eavesdropping radio that reveals the personalities and business of her friends and neighbors.…

    Direct Cosine Matrix

    William Premerlani and Paul Bizard This is the first of a pair of papers on the theory and implementation of a direction-cosine-matrix (DCM) based inertial measurement unit for application in model planes and helicopters. Actually, at this point, it is still a draft, there is still a lot more work to be done. Several reviewers, especially Louis LeGrand and UFO-man, have made good suggestions on additions and revisions that we should make and prepared some figures that we have not included yet. We will eventually incorporate their suggestions, but it may take a long time to get there. In the meantime, we think there is an audience who can benefit from what we have so far. The motivation for DCM was to take the next step in stabilization and control functions from an inherently stable aircraft with elevator and rudder control, to an aerobatic aircraft with ailerons and elevator. One of the authors (Premerlani) built a two axes board several years ago, and developed rudimentary firmware to provide stabilization and return-to-launch (RTL) functions for a Gentle Lady sailplane. The firmware worked well enough, and the author came to rely on the RTL feature, but it never seemed to work as well as the author would like. In particular, satisfactory solutions to the following two issues were never found: • Mixing. It was recognized that in a banked turn, there were two problems arising from the bank angle. First, the yaw rotation of the aircraft around the turn generated a nuisance signal in the pitch gyro, because of the banking. Second, in order to make a level turn, the elevator needed some “up” deflection. The amount of deflection depends on the bank angle, which could not be directly measured. Both issues were opposite sides of the same coin. Acceleration. An accelerometer measures gravity minus acceleration. The acceleration is equal to the total of all of the aerodynamic forces (lift, thrust, drag, etc.) on the plane, plus the…

    the enormous radio

    Classic literature contains a story or lesson that has the ability to relate to a reader of any generation and is also pertinent to present day life. The short story “The Enormous Radio” by John Cheever could easily be considered a classic work of literature. It illustrates the lives of the stereotypical American family and the way they go about entertainment in mid 1900’s. In our present day, many use television as their main form of entertainment to escape from the stress and worries of everyday life. Currently in the world today, mainly the United States, reality TV has taken over as one of the most popular genres of television shows. People use these reality TV shows as a getaway from their own lives. There are some people watch these shows wishing it was them who was rich and famous or had their own program on MTV, and picture themselves in the places of the people they see on the screen. Others use it to compare their own lives often times believing they are better than the things they see on tv and the way people act on tv and get pleasure from other people’s fame. Cheever takes reality entertainment to a whole new level. The short story, “The enormous Radio” was far ahead of its time in that it illustrates the way reality TV would have been back then for the Westcott family in a much more raw and uncensored view of things. It is as if John Cheever knew that someday people would be able to turn on their TV and witness the shortcomings and wrongdoings of someone else’s life and he illustrates what that would be like 60 years ago in his story.…

    Wireless Technology

    In this chapter, it discusses the Telecommunications, the Internet, and Wireless Technology. With the development of technology, connecting to Internet become more and more simply. Internet has become a necessary part of our daily social life. Wireless technology refers to the transfer of information between two or more points that are not physically connect, such as GPS units, wireless computer mice or headsets. As we know, wireless benefits our daily life a lot, such as mobile phone, Wi-Fi, 4G networks on handle PC. It is very strong right now. Internet services are communication tools. Options such as e-mail, instant messaging, newsgroups, and the World Wide Web are available to us in the business world. E-mail allows messaging in between computers, with the capabilities of sending to multiple users and forwarding certain items. E-mail has provided businesses a cheaper form of communication compared to postal services or fax machines, and this form is far more rapid than the older forms. Although e-mail is a more cost effective form of communication available to businesses, now companies must invest in systems and methods of screening work placed e-mails. These screening systems can sometimes be complex and become a major cost to organizations. Telecommunications refers to the use of electronic technology in the transmission of information between different locations. Telecommunications, including different kinds of long-distance communication, such as radio, telegraph, television, telephone, data communications and computer network communications. Wireless telecommunications refers to the transfer of information between two or more points that are not physically connected. I searched the Internet to find the newest news about wireless was the competition that AT&T and Verizon need. Verizon Wireless and AT&T Inc. dominate the market for wireless data as a duopoly, together accounting for more than two-thirds of all U.S.…

    What is radio

    Radio has been one of the most important inventions that continues to aide civilization to this day. In scientific terms, radio is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Electromagnetic waves push into space going the speed of light, which is 300,000 kilometers per second. When equipment is attached to an antenna, the energy becomes radio waves. Some of the energy can be received by another antenna, and using a radio receiver, the energy connects the transmitter and receiver. Information that is added to the radio waves can be sent as messages known as television programs, walkie talkies, and other sources. Radio wave travel can vary with frequency and wavelength of the signal. The lower the frequency of the wave, the farther the wave will travel. When frequency builds, the wave may become blocked or bounced off mountains and buildings. At very large frequencies, weather conditions can limit the range of communication. Due to these anomalies, different frequencies can be a better fit for certain types of radio (Griffin, 2000).…
