The effects of the Federal Communications Commission Registration Program of 1977 on the domestic industry producing telecommunications equipmentNelson, Eric G. January 1985 (has links)
The effects of the Federal Communications Commission Registration Program of 1977 on the structure of the domestic telecommunications equipment producing industry was evaluated. Econometric analysis and anecdotal evidence were used as the foundation for the investigation.
The major hypothesis of the paper was that the FCC Registration Program of 1977 changed the structure of the telecommunications equipment producing industry from a monopoly to an industry characterized by competition. This resulted in a change in the equilibrium price and output in the market place with price decreasing and output increasing.
The three major component subsectors, i.e., transmission equipment, switching equipment, and customer premises equipment (CPE) were discussed individually and collectively to determine any differential effects. This was particularly relevant because the FCC Registration Program focussed on CPE.
Empirically, the central hypothesis was supported. Also, differential effects in the various subsectors were found. / M.A.

Design and development of a 200 W converter for phosphoric acid fuel cellsKuyula, Christian Kinsala 03 1900 (has links)
M. Tech. (Engineering: Electrical, Department Electronic Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Technology), Vaal University of Technology, / “If we think oil is a problem now, just wait 20 years. It’ll be a nightmare.” —
Jeremy Rifkin, Foundation of Economic Trends, Washington, D.C., August 2003.
This statement harmonises with the reality that human civilisation faces today. As a
result, humankind has been forced to look for alternatives to fossil fuels. Among
possible solutions, fuel cell (FC) technology has received a lot of attention because
of its potential to generate clean energy.
Fuel cells have the advantage that they can be used in remote telecommunication
sites with no grid connectivity as the majority of telecommunication equipment
operates from a DC voltage supply. Power plants based on phosphoric acid fuel cell
(PAFC) have been installed worldwide supplying urban areas, shopping centres and
medical facilities with electricity, heat and hot water. Although these are facts
regarding large scale power plants for on-site use, portable units have been explored
as well. Like any other fuel cell, the PAFC output power is highly unregulated
leading to a drastic drop in the output voltage with changing load value. Therefore,
various DC–DC converter topologies with a wide range of input voltages can be used
to regulate the fuel cell voltage to a required DC load.
An interleaved synchronous buck converter intended for efficiently stepping down
the energy generated by a PAFC was designed and developed. The design is based
on the National Semiconductor LM5119 IC. A LM5119 evaluation board was
redesigned to meet the requirements for the application. The measurements were
performed and it was found that the converter achieved the expectations. The results
showed that the converter efficiently stepped down a wide range of input voltages
(22 to 46 V) to a regulated 13.8 V while achieving a 93 percent efficiency. The
conclusions reached and recommendations for future research are presented. / Telkom Centre of Excellence, TFMC, M-Tech, THRIP.

An economic evaluation of waste telecommunication cable disposal in South Africa : a case studyLottering, Tony January 2008 (has links)
South African manufacturers, including those who produce electrical and telecommunication cables, are required by the National Waste Management Strategy (NWMS) (drawn up by the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DEAT)), to carry out waste management in a coordinated and controlled manner. It is also becoming more difficult for South African companies, who produce for export markets, to conduct business internationally if they do not have some form of environmental management system in place. While there will always be scrap generated in any manufacturing environment, the aim is, first and foremost, to reduce this to acceptable levels and, secondly, to dispose of all scrap produced in a socially responsible manner. This study focuses attention on waste management, in the form of recycling, in the cable manufacturing industry. The purpose of this study is twofold: first, to examine the economic case, by means of a cost-benefit analysis, for the establishment and operation of a telecommunication cable waste recycling plant for the purpose of recycling copper conductor; second, to examine the economic feasibility, by means of a cost-benefit analysis, of extending the existing facility in order to accommodate the recycling of the plastic fraction contained in the cable waste. A specific cost-benefit stream was generated over a project period of 20 years for both CBAs. In both CBAs costs and benefits were categorised as being either primary or secondary. The primary costs and benefits for both CBAs were all financial in nature and were valued using market prices. The secondary costs of establishing and operating a cable waste recycling plant for recycling the copper conductor included effluent costs and noise pollution costs. The secondary benefits, on the other hand, included the creation of downstream industries. The secondary costs of extending an existing cable waste recycling plant, so as to accommodate the recycling of the plastic component of cable waste, included costs related to the generation of greenhouse gases and asthma. The secondary benefits, conversely, included the increase in house prices due to the reduction of landfilling of the plastic component of cable waste. The determination of increased house prices due to landfill avoidance was carried out using the hedonic pricing method (HPM). The hypothesis was that house values would increase the further removed they were from the landfill site. Applying regression analysis to the derived hedonic pricing (HP) function showed that there is a definite correlation between the two. Properties positioned two kilometres from a landfill site in New Brighton Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, were found to have higher values than those positioned adjacent to the site. From the cost-benefit streams, net benefits were calculated for each CBA and discounted to present values in order to provide a standard of comparison. The social discount rate used in this study to calculate the present values reflected a combination of the social opportunity costs of capital and the social time preference rate. The rate used was calculated as the average annual rate between 2000 and 2005 and amounted to 6.72 percent. It was derived from a combination of the opportunity costs of government borrowings, household consumption borrowings and return on savings.

Spread spectrum satellite multiple access and overlay serviceMaggenti, Mark A. 17 November 2012 (has links)
This thesis presents two applications of spread spectrum technology to very small aperture terminal (VSAT) satellite communication networks. It describes two spread spectrum multiple access systems which use a form of noncoherent M-ary FSK (MFSK) as the primary modulation and analyzes their throughput. The analysis considers such factors as satellite power constraints and adjacent satellite interference. It considers the effect of onâ board processing on the multiple access efficiency and investigates the feasibility of overlaying low data rate spread spectrum signals on existing satellite traffic as a form of frequency reuse. / Master of Science
