This article describes two demonstrations at the NTT Group Communication EXPO held at the Tokyo International Forum in December 2005. These showed visitors two of our trials on the feasibility of remotely operating instruments in Chile from Japan: an optical telescope and rock hammers in an underground copper mine. These applications use a relatively high bandwidth of around 100 Mbit/s and require short delay times for smooth interactive operation. To satisfy these requirements we used NTT's experimental research network GEMnet2 in collaboration with partner R&E (research and education) networks in North and South America. The demonstrations showed that Internet-based networks can handle interactive network applications with sufficient quality between two sites separated by almost the maximum possible distance on the Earth as long as the bandwidth and the route are carefully managed.

We present the use of the polysaccharide chitosan for immobilizing biomolecules on microfabricated device surfaces. The main advantages of chitosan are its abundance of primary amine groups and its ability to be electrodeposited. Biomolecules are easily attached to chitosan 's amines by standard glutaraldehyde chemistry. The electrodeposition of chitosan allows accurate spatial and temporal control of biomolecule placement. We have demonstrated this biofunctionalization method for two different bioMEMS devices: a biophotonic sensor and a micromechanical biosensor. We have successfully assembled probe DNA on each of them and detected hybridization with target DNA as a demonstration of sensor operation. Here, we briefly present the fabrication procedure and testing results for both of these bioMEMS sensing devices

Distributed Control Systems (DCS) are deployed in power utilities as well as communication, transportation, and financial infrastructures. As demonstrated by power distribution grid failures, most recently in August of 2003, designing for reliability is an important need. In addition to inherent design weaknesses, critical infrastructures are potential targets of cyber-terrorism and protecting critical infrastructures against terrorist attacks is a national priority. DCS security and survivability need increased attention. One of the Norwich University electrical and computerengineering courses that address these issues is EE411 Microcomputer Based Applications. EE411 is designed to give computer and electricalengineering students a capstone DCS design experience applying concepts covered in earlier courses. They are introduced to "SCAD A ville", a municipal water system emulator modeled after a typical municipal water distribution system. The concepts of safety instrumentation and networking are introduced using Allen Bradley programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Students come to understand the advantages and disadvantages of ladder logic code for digital controller reliability. In designing Distributed Control Systems that make any connection to the outside world, the system must withstand attack from disgruntled employees, hackers or cyber terrorists. The system must function well even when the attacker breaks through the security barrier. In the EE411 course, the concepts of redundancy, robustness, and resilience are developed and reinforced in the laboratories.

Incomplete LU factorization is a valuable preconditioning approach for sparse iterative solvers. An "ideal" but inefficient preconditioner for the iterative solution of Ax = b is A-1 itself. This paper describes a preconditioner based on sparse approximations to partitioned representations of A-1, in addition to the results of implementation of the proposed method in a shared memory parallel environment. The partitioned inverses are normally somewhat sparse. Their sparsity can be enhanced with suitable ordering and partitioning algorithms. Sparse approximations to these partitioned inverse representations can be obtained either by discarding selected nonzero entries of these inverses or by precluding the creation of some inversion fills. Experimental results indicate that the use of these partitioned incomplete inverses as preconditioners results in excellent highly parallel preconditioners.
Continual advances in technology necessitate on-going updates and modifications to existing digital design laboratory experiments to ensure a quality, state-of-the-art lab experience for both students and instructors....
