The Impact of Technology Transfer for Micro and Small Enterprises
Academic Paper from the year 2022 in the subject Communications - Technical Communication, language: English, abstract: The goal of this action research was to see how technology transfer from Misrak Polytechnic College affected small-scale businesses. Based on this, the researcher concentrated on transferred technology in the academic years 2012 and 2013 E.C. and employed a survey methodology to achieve the study's goal. A total of 57 trainers and 8 technology team members were chosen for this research to transfer and facilitate technology. From them 81.5% were male and 18.5% female. In addition, 57 firms were chosen to acquire technology from trainers. Data was collected through questionnaires and observation. To emphasize the link and variance of the variables, the data collected through the questionnaire was analyzed using frequency %, mean and standard deviation. To complement the quantitative statistics, the information gathered through open ended questionnaires was evaluated qualitatively. The findings suggest that trainers' problem-solving methods on technology transfer are based on their knowledge of how to deal with technology. Although the trainers have a basic understanding of technology, the results show that additional understanding is required. Aside from that, the findings examine knowledge and skills in value chain analysis. The mean value was 3.38 and the standard deviation was computed as 1.07, which is larger than one, implying that the data was spread out over a wide range of values, implying that respondents had a variety of alternatives when it came to this particular variable. There are no widespread surveys on the college's suitability for technology development and transfer. In the previous two years, 85.2 percent of trainers produced and transmitted technology for small businesses, but no single technology has been duplicated or made available to the general public by SMEs. The transferred technology is not being imitated by SMEs, bu

Research Advances in Network Technologies
In current digital era, information is an important asset for our daily life as well as for small and large-scale businesses. The network technologies are the main enablers that connect the computing devices and resources together to collect, process and share vital information locally as well as globally. The network technologies provide efficient, flexible and seamless communication while maximizing productivity and resources for our day-to-day lives and business operations. For all its importance, this domain has evolved drastically, from the traditional wired networks to Bluetooth, infrared-waves, micro-waves, radio-waves and satellite networks. Nowadays, network technologies are not only restricted to computer laboratories, offices or homes; many other diverse areas have been witnessed where network technologies are being used based on the applications and needs, such as vehicular ad-hoc networks, underwater networks, and the Internet of Things. Along with the hardware-based and physical network technologies, a lot of research has been carried out by researchers from academia and industry to develop emerging software-based network technologies, such as network software architectures, middleware, and protocol stacks. The software-based network technologies become the main driving force behind the paradigm shift in this domain and have invented many new network technologies such as grid computing, cloud computing, fog computing, edge computing, software defined networks, content centric networks and so on. On the other hand, a lot of efforts have been made in cellular network technologies to improve the user experience and as a consequence, emerging cellular network technologies like LTE, VoLTE and 5G have been invented. Due to its demand and importance in present and future scenarios, numerous efforts have been done in the networking domain by the researchers, a lot of work is still ongoing, and many more possibilities have yet to be explored. Therefore, there is a need to keep track of advancements related to the network technologies and further investigate several ongoing research challenges for the ease of users. With this goal in mind, Research Advances in Network Technologies presents the most recent and notable research on network technologies.
Flying Ad Hoc Networks
Relying on unmanned autonomous flight control programs, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with radio communication devices have been actively developed around the world. Given their low cost, flexible maneuvering and unmanned operation, UAVs have been widely used in both civilian operations and military missions, including environmental monitoring, emergency communications, express distribution, even military surveillance and attacks, for example. Given that a range of standards and protocols used in terrestrial wireless networks are not applicable to UAV networks, and that some practical constraints such as battery power and no-fly zone hinder the maneuverability capability of a single UAV, we need to explore advanced communication and networking theories and methods for the sake of supporting future ultra-reliable and low-latency applications. Typically, the full potential of UAV network's functionalities can be tapped with the aid of the cooperation of multiple drones relying on their ad hoc networking, in-network communications and coordinated control. Furthermore, some swarm intelligence models and algorithms conceived for dynamic negotiation, path programming, formation flight and task assignment of multiple cooperative drones are also beneficial in terms of extending UAV's functionalities and coverage, as well as of increasing their efficiency. We call the networking and cooperation of multiple drones as the terminology 'flying ad hoc network (FANET)', and there indeed are numerous new challenges to be overcome before the idespread of so-called heterogeneous FANETs. In this book, we examine a range of technical issues in FANETs, from physical-layer channel modeling to MAC-layer resource allocation, while also introducing readers to UAV aided mobile edge computing techniques.

Clustering Parameters for Multispectral Satellite Image Analysis
Clustering parameters for multispectral satellite image analysis is a method used in image processing and remote sensing to extract useful information from satellite images. Clustering is an unsupervised learning technique that groups similar pixels together based on their spectral and spatial characteristics.The process of clustering in multispectral satellite image analysis involves using various parameters to extract relevant features and reduce the dimensionality of the data. Spectral information, such as the reflectance values of different spectral bands, is used to group similar pixels together. Spatial information, such as the location and shape of the clusters, is also considered.Different clustering algorithms can be used, such as K-means, Expectation-Maximization, hierarchical clustering, density-based clustering, and spectral-spatial clustering. The choice of algorithm and parameters will depend on the specific application and the desired level of accuracy for the image segmentation and classification.To evaluate the performance of the clustering, various validation metrics can be used, such as the confusion matrix, overall accuracy, F1-score, Jaccard similarity coefficient, and Kappa coefficient. These metrics provide a quantitative measure of the clustering performance and can be used to compare different clustering methods and parameters.Overall, Clustering Parameters for Multispectral Satellite Image Analysis is a powerful method for extracting useful information from satellite images and it is widely used in various applications such as land use/land cover mapping, crop identification, and natural resources management.Image analysis is a widely used technique, which is necessary for understanding and speculating specific aspects of the information. Images are analyzed and pro- cessed to help single users, professional bodies, and government organizations. In today's world, remotely sensed multispectral images processing is a major research area used to deal with problems such as landuse-landcover, fire detection, crop es- timation, and flood prediction to name a few, which greatly impact the economic and environmental concerns, and the techniques developed through this technol- ogy allows many real-life applications with high social value [CVTGC]11].Classification is the most common operation used to analyze these multispec- tral images. The critical objective of the image classification technique is to group all pixel data of an image into land cover classes or thematic maps automatically [JL05]. In general, multispectral images pixels have an inherent spectral pattern which is the numerical basis for the classification of multispectral images i.e. the inherent spectral reflectance and emittance properties of the electromagnetic spec- trum are indexed with different combinations of Digital Numbers in the image torecognize various types of features or objects. Spectral pattern recognition is a classification procedure that performs automated landcover classification with the help of pixel-by-pixel spectral information. Remote sensing is one of the efficient ways to procure multispectral images. Re- mote sensing is a procedure to acquire data from any distance without physically interacting with objects. Remote sensing can be made possible with the help of satellites or aircrafts which have sensors mounted on them to capture electromag- netic radiation scattered or emitted from the Earth's surface.
Energy Efficient Object Tracking using Wireless Sensor Network
Progress in technology has led to the setting of new records in every area, whether it isrelated to health, defense, education, or industry. If we look into technology andengineering, it is developing in each sector and significantly impacted development. In thesame way, we can see growth in the communication field, too, which has many applicationssuch as security and surveillance, environmental monitoring, industrial applications, transportation & logistics, smart buildings, smart grids & energy control systems, healthcare, as well as a wireless sensor network. A wireless sensor is a network of sensorsconnected wirelessly. This technology is beneficial as it does not require any wires to belaid for communication, and also, there is no strict rule for deploying sensors. The sensorscan be deployed in any area which has to be sensed through three main types: It can eitherbe 1) uneven sensor deployment, 2) trigonous sensor deployment, and 3) quadrangle sensordeployment. It has been observed that this technology requires some development, so workneeds to be done to improve its credibility. So before starting, it is to be known in what wayit requires improvement; to find this, an extensive study of the past works is needed. We allknow power is the heart of every technology nowadays; after losing the whole control, technology shuts down; similarly, sensors in a wireless sensor network are battery operatedas battery discharged sensor or nodes becomes dead or does not remain a part of the system.So, to make the sensor battery last longer, work towards this is needed, and also, it isrequired to find where the network uses most of the energy and how it can be saved. Thispreliminary plan then becomes the aim of this thesis. While studying past works, it is foundthat mainly energy is consumed while sending the data to the base station; if each sensorcommunicates with the base station for sharing data, then sensors' battery drains, and thenetwork becomes dead early. After this, a way is needed that all sensors do not send data;only one sensor sends data after taking it from other sensors, then clustering came intoexistence. In a wireless sensor network (WSN), clustering is a set of nodes in one of thenodes becoming a cluster head. The cluster head selects three-nodes that localize therunning object and compute the information and forward it the cluster head. Cluster headsthe information forwards to the sink node or base station .To incorporate clustering LEACH is introduced, LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Cluster Hierarchy) is the essential work done in this direction. It is the best way of energy conservation by clustering . In this book, the work done in the past will be compared with the proposed algorithm. This gives thebasic concept or algorithm for reducing energy consumption., it is used in tracking amoving object by enhancing it and introducing a few more algorithms to increase thenetwork's lifetime during the tracking of moving objects. Before going deep into thetechnology, it is required to know a few more about unwired sensor networks. The unwiredsensor network is a combination of a highly distributed group of battery-powered lightweightnodes deployed in large numbers to monitor the environment or system
Adaptive IFIR Filters for Voice Quality Enhancement In Wireless VOIP
Adaptive Infinite Impulse Response (IFIR) filters are a type of digital filter that can be used to enhance the voice quality in wireless Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication systems. These filters are adaptive because they can adjust their parameters in real-time to optimize their performance based on the characteristics of the incoming signal.IFIR filters are used to remove noise and other unwanted interference from the speech signal in wireless VoIP communication systems. The adaptive nature of these filters allows them to adjust to different types of noise and interference, making them particularly useful in wireless communication systems where the signal can be affected by a variety of sources of interference.Adaptive IFIR filters can be used to enhance the voice quality in wireless VoIP communication systems by reducing the amount of noise and interference in the speech signal. This can result in a clearer and more natural-sounding speech signal, making it easier for the listener to understand what is being said.In addition, adaptive IFIR filters can also be used to improve the efficiency of wireless VoIP communication systems by reducing the amount of data that needs to be transmitted. This can help to conserve battery life and reduce the amount of bandwidth required for the communication.Overall, Adaptive IFIR filters are an effective solution for enhancing the voice quality in wireless VoIP communication systems, they can be used to improve the clarity of the speech signal and make it more robust against the interference and noise in wireless environment.

Flipphonia
In this novel an American non-profit company initiates a national movement to heal the youth's addiction to mobile social media, like smart phones. Voice Synthesis Inc. (VSI) based in Alexandria, Virginia, was founded by Matt and Heather Flynn, billionaires from their Turbopod (T-Pod) vehicles sold around the world. The couple does research to determine that the addiction starts at age ten and is a primary culprit in the dramatic reduction of the Work Ethic in America. The book provides alarming statistics as VSI's employees focus on the problem at home, in the schools, in retail businesses, in the government, the military and board rooms. It becomes clear to the reader that the social media devices greatly contribute to dumbing of citizens, ripe for control by a Socialist government. The reader follows VSI as it enlists a well-known company to apply artificial intelligence to voice synthesis systems to create a useful Flip Phone for the youth. "FLIPA" can access communications but not the Internet and streaming video. Nationally-known cyber gurus, who formed a company called Padlockers, create a computer E-Worm which debilitates the production of popular smart phones in China. At the same time the government provides programs attractive for companies to bring back the production of the devices to America. The story ends with a realistic hope for the future as the simple FLIPA wins over legions of youth, one Flip Phone at a time.
