If you use a GPS receiver for your outdoor workouts, one of your biggest decisions will be how to carry the GPS receiver. The simplest way is just to hold it in your hand, if it’s free. Of the number of other different ways to carry a GPS receiver, the best carry methods will

• Provide optimal GPS satellite signal reception: Where you work out might dictate how you carry your GPS receiver. If you live on the plains (flat) without any trees and have excellent satellite reception, you have more options than in the Pacific Northwest (heavy tree canopies).

• Be comfortable: Carrying a GPS receiver should not distract you from your workout. However you carry it, it should be comfortable, and you really shouldn’t notice carrying or wearing it.

Here are some different ways to carry a GPS receiver while working out. How you carry a GPS receiver usually ends up being a personal preference. Try a few of these methods to see which one works best for you.

Armbands

Armbands, especially with smaller, lightweight GPS receivers, are one of my favorite forms of no-hands carry. An armband is simply a GPS receiver case mounted to an adjustable elastic band.

When worn on the upper arm, the GPS receiver isn’t blocked by your body as much as wearing the receiver at your waist, which means better satellite signal reception. In areas without many sky obstructions, armbands can also be worn on your forearm, so you can look at the screen while you exercise.

Some people likes to use an armband with a plastic case that’s produced by Endless Pursuit (www.endlesspursuit.com). The case fits a Garmin Geko like a glove. After you adjust the elastic band, it’s hard to tell you’re wearing it.Not many armbands are built for small and mid-sized GPS receivers. Look for armbands designed for Family Radio Service (FRS) radios. If you’re handy with a sewing machine (or know someone who is), it’s relatively easy to make an armband out of nylon, elastic, and Velcro for your GPS receiver.

Cases, belts, pockets, and packs

Most GPS receiver cases have a loop on the back to hold the case on a belt.

If you’re wearing shorts or tights and don’t have a belt, waist packs for carrying a radio or a cassette/CD player are an option. These packs can accommodate larger GPS receivers. They’re not very noticeable when you’re working out because they’re designed not to bounce much. Small fanny packs and waist packs that carry water bottles also carry a GPS receiver.

If the GPS receiver is small, try carrying it in your front pants pocket. I’ve carried a Garmin Geko while running and cross-country skiing in trail-running shorts and tights with zipper pockets. Although satellite reception is some-times lost while under heavy tree cover, the GPS receiver records track data as long as I have a mostly clear view of the sky.

The main disadvantage to carrying your GPS receiver on or below your waist is that it’s not the best place for satellite reception. There’s a good chance that you’ll lose the signal in areas with reduced satellite coverage.

If you use a hydration pack or a lightweight backpack, you can get your GPS higher for better satellite reception by mounting the case either on one of the front shoulder straps or putting the GPS receiver in the upper, top pocket of your backpack. (It isn’t as accessible in the backpack pocket but should get good satellite reception.)

Water bottle hand straps

Many trail and ultramarathon runners run with water bottles in their hands, using special hand strap products that fit on a water bottle so you aren’t always clutching the bottle and can relax your hands.  I’ve seen trail runners with small GPS receiver cases mounted to these hand straps. Just add some Velcro to the GPS receiver case and the hand strap, and you’re ready to go.

Traditional security command centers included multiple closed-circuit television (CCTV) monitors that provided centralized surveillance technology, giving security operators the ability to expand their limited physical area of coverage. Thus, instead of patrolling a selected location, a security operator can now split his attention over multiple locations, panning back and forth from different areas of interest from the comfort of a chair. He can use his keen eye on a wider scale but at the cost of a more fragmented approach. Active surveillance works better when there’s little activity, but a crowded venue or Rear View Mirror With Camera creates natural blindness; we are capturing only snapshots of an activity. We are only human. Analytical technologies have made it possible to become superhuman. The linear experience made it somewhat less complex; all we needed to do was sit back and watch. As an entertainment venue, television delivered information, but there was no interaction. The television changed society by informing viewers of what was going on around them and around the world. Just as society became smarter with the information provided by television, security personnel became smarter with CCTV.

These units may also have limitations in capacity, not due to lack of space inside the unit, since hard drives keep on growing in storage capacity, but in terms of what the embedded software can recognize. It’s the same reason that a 2001 computer wouldn’t be able to read a 1 terabyte (TB) hard drive. There has also been much discussion regarding how many cameras should be displayed on a console, and like everyone else, I have an opinion. First, let’s state the various cases made. The many-is-better argument goes like this: If many cameras are displayed, then the console officer can observe the video of any Wireless IP Camera at his pleasure. He can quickly scan all the available views and may see something that he would never observe if the cameras were not otherwise displayed. The fewer-is-better argument goes like this:

Some scientific studies have shown that an officer cannot view more than approximately six images with any precision of observation over any long time period. Having more monitors may create complacency on the part of the observing officer, and in any event it is better if most video views respond to some kind of alarm or event indicator if possible.

For this reason, it is better to use many cameras and fewer monitors and have the cameras triggered by alarms where possible. Newvicon tube cameras were more sensitive and more expensive, and required auto iris lenses. Their physical appearance was the same as the Vidicon tube, and one could hardly determine which type was which by just looking at the two. Only an experienced CCTV technician could notice the slight difference in the color of the target area: the Vidicon has a dark violet color, while the Newvicon has a dark bluish color. The electronics that control these two types of tubes are different, and on the outside of the GSM Camera the Newvicon type has an auto iris connection. There are a few important concepts used in the operation of tube cameras, which we need to briefly explain in order to appreciate the differences between this and the new, CCD, technology.

Fiber optic cables are very different from copper cables.Fiber optic cables transmit data through very small cores over long distance at the speed of light.These cables come in a wide variety of configurations.Important considerations in any cable installation and operation are the bending radius; tensile strength; ruggedness; durability; flexibility; environmental conditions, such as temperature extremes; and even appearance.Due to fiber optic cables; lightweight and extreme flexibility, fiber optic cable are more easily installed than their copper counterparts.

Fiber Optic Cable Types and Applications

There are many fiber optic cable types and designs available.Fiber cables can be classified into the following categories: fiber optic cables for indoor applications, those for outdoor applications, and indoor/outdoor applications.The following sections explain each category in detail.

Indoor Fiber optic cable Types and Applications

Indoor cables are generally installed and operated in a controlled,stable environment.The cables must perform with minimal loss.Her factors that generate losses, such as environment and mechanical stresses during and after installation, can cause failure.Outdoor cables have more factors that concern their performance.Indoor fiber cables are divided into the following types:

1.Simplex Fiber Optic Cable contain a single fiber cable, as shown in figure 4.1.They are employed to connections within equipment.They have a thicker outer jacket, which makes the table easier to handle and adds mechanical protection.

2.Duplex Fiber Optic Cable contain two tight-buffered fiber cables inside a single jacket, as showed in figure 4.2 They are used in equipment interconnections within workstations, test equipment, hubs and router,etc.

3.Breakout cables have several individual simplex cables

4.Light cables,heavy cables,and plenum cables are application dependent.

Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable Tyes

Outdoor cables must withstand a variety of enviroment and mechanical stress during and after installation.The cables must perform with minimal losses over a wide range of temperature and humidity changes.The cable must also have waterproof capabilities, have strength to endure the difficult installation conditions, provide protection against ultraviolet radiation, and provide mechanical protection, there are many types and designs, depending on the manufacturer and application.Outdoor fiber cables are divided into the following types:

1.Overhead cables may be stung from telephone poles or along power lines.

2.Direct burial cables placed directly in a trench dug in the ground and then covered with soil.

3.Submarine cables are set underwater.

Ftth Drop Cable

Ftth has already been tried -and it failed miserably.Why should carriers are tested again? With the advent of asymmetric digital subscriber line and cable modems, the need for broadband Internet access has grown.That growth is likely to continue to into the future,and at some point demand will reach a level that can support ftth.The data requirements between the residence and its multiple communities of interest will reach a ftth-sustainable level within a few years, and customers will be willing to pay Ftth prices.Moreover, some carriers's investment strategies will favor Ftth over hybrid fiber because at some point,Hfc becomes too expensive, If Ftth can be delivered at lower cost it will gain a competitive advantage.
