CONTACT:Andrew Rice
DESCRIPTION:Skills: Analog Electronics\, Anthony Hylick\n\nThis skills tal
 k will introduce some elementary RC components and circuits and demonstrat
 e how some very simple circuits can be very useful in a few different appl
 ications. The talk will cover basic RC device characteristics (and a littl
 e on bipolar junction transistors)\, three live demos\, and detailed expla
 nations of why the circuits behave as they do in the demos.\n\nResearch: D
 eployment of Wireless Sensor Networks\, Ruoshui Liu\n\nWireless Sensor Net
 works (WSNs) provide a new paradigm for sensing and disseminating informat
 ion from various physical environments\, with the potential to serve many 
 and diverse applications. Successful deployment of WSNs in real environmen
 ts requires a comprehensive knowledge of the radio channel characteristics
  within these environments\, since the channel has a significant impact on
  the coverage range and quality of the radio links between nodes. The rese
 arch investigates the use of frequency and space (antenna) diversity techn
 iques applied to WSNs to ameliorate the impact of the wireless channel on 
 the communication link and improve the robustness of the radio links.
