Six Week Priority
For the entirety of March, and until April 9th, we focus on preparing response to proposed changes to the IEEE 2028 National Electrical Safety Code, and to prepare fresh new ideas for the 2028 NFPA National Electrical Code. Topics coverage normally scheduled for this time of year will be accessible but our daily online meetings will start with work on those two standards. To join the "code-writing and vote-getting" use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.

Communication in the Presence of Noise
A method is developed for representing any communication system geometrically. Messages and the corresponding signals are points in two "function spaces," and the modulation process is a mapping of one space into the other. Using this representation, a number of results in communication theory are deduced concerning expansion and compression of bandwidth and the threshold effect.
