For example, a fixed-point representation that has seven decimal digits with two decimal places can represent the numbers 12345. 67, 123. 45, 1. 23 and so on, whereas a floating-point representation ( such as the IEEE 754 decimal32 format ) with seven decimal digits could in addition represent 1. 234567, 123456. 7, 0. 00001234567, 1234567000000000, and so on.

The database research area has several notable dedicated academic journals ( e. g., ACM Transactions on Database Systems-TODS, Data and Knowledge Engineering-DKE, and more ) and annual conferences ( e. g., ACM SIGMOD, ACM PODS, VLDB, IEEE ICDE, and more ), as well as an active and quite heterogeneous ( subject-wise ) research community all over the world.

The IEEE provides learning opportunities within the engineering sciences, research, and technology.

* IEEE Frederik Philips Award ( for management of research and development )

The IEEE generally does not create its own research.

( Schnabel 1997, Puthoff 1996, Kress 1977 / 1999, Smith 2005 ) As research continued, the SRI team published papers in Nature, in Proceedings of the IEEE ( Puthoff & Targ, 1976 ), and in the proceedings of a symposium on consciousness for the American Association for the Advancement of Science ( Puthoff, et al., 1981 ).

IEEE in 1984 ( for their centennial issue, where they note the research most likely would have won a Nobel prize, had not the author died young ) and again in 1998, for the first centennial of radio.

* IEEE Xplore, an online database of IEEE research publications.

This paper won an IEEE Information Theory Society Golden-Jubilee Paper Award in 1998 and its subject matter is a very active area of research today.

David C. Munson, editor-in-chief, January 1996 IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, cited two reasons for the popularity of the image in research:

* H. Krim and M. Viberg, “ Two decades of array signal processing research ”, IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing Magazine, July 1996

* The IEEE Annals of the History of Computing, a computer science research journal on the history of computer science and history of computer hardware

Weekly research seminars, local IEEE, ACM and IET chapters ’ meetings and seminars and an annual International conference are regularly held.

Since 2008, TORCS has also been played an important role into various research fields within the IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games, where it appears as a base for 4 to 6 projects every year.

Gerald A. Alphonse is an electrical engineer, physicist and research scientist, and was the 2005 president of the United States division of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers ( IEEE ).

A research paper presenting WiFiAdmin has been published in IEEE international conference.

He received the IEEE Edison Medal in 1992 " for original contributions to coding, modulation, data communication modems, and for industrial and research leadership in communications technology ".

A research paper published by the IEEE reveals that most viewers are more sensitive to audio / video misalignment when audio plays before the corresponding video, because hearing the spoken word before seeing the lips move is more " unnatural " to a viewer.

For example, VTK forms the core of the 3DSlicer biomedical computing application, and numerous research papers at IEEE Visualization and other conferences based on VTK have appeared.

The IEEE then publishes the authors ' papers in journals and other proceedings, and authors are required to give up their exclusive rights to their works.

Section 6. 3. 1 IEEE Copyright Policies – subsections 7 and 8 – states that " all authors … shall transfer to the IEEE in writing any copyright they hold for their individual papers ", but that the IEEE will grant the authors permission to make copies and use the papers they originally authored, so long as such use is permitted by the Board of Directors.

As of September 2011, the IEEE also provides authors for most new journal papers with the option to pay to allow free download of their papers by the public from the IEEE publication website.

At retirement after 30 years of cooperation with the company, he was the Associate Director of Research for Motorola's Government Electronics Division, had 30 patents related to VHF and microwave communications, was an IEEE Fellow and author of numerous technical papers and a chapter in the " Communication System Engineering Handbook ".

He has published over 50 papers in these areas, including articles in Science, Nature, CACM, and IEEE Computer.

As with other IEEE 802 LANs, each Ethernet station is given a 48-bit MAC address.

This position is endorsed by other standards organizations including the IEEE, the International Committee for Weights and Measures ( CIPM ) and the U. S. National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ), but the binary prefixes have seen limited acceptance.

It is almost never implemented on Ethernet, although it is used on FDDI and on token ring, IEEE 802. 11, and other IEEE 802 networks.

In addition to the original 31. 25 kbit / s ( baud is the signalling rate and is the reciprocal of the shortest signalling element ; bits / sec is the data rate ) current-loop transported on 5-pin DIN, other connectors have been used for the same electrical data, and transmission of MIDI streams in different forms over USB, IEEE 1394 a. k. a. FireWire, and Ethernet is now common.

* In IEEE 802. 1X, an authenticator is an entity at one end of a point-to-point LAN segment that facilitates authentication of the entity attached to the other end of that link.

Differential Manchester is specified in the IEEE 802. 5 standard for token ring LANs, and is used for many other applications, including magnetic and optical storage.

For example, a IEEE 802. 11n wireless router with N antennas makes it possible to communicate with N multiplexed channels, each with a peak bit rate of 54 Mbit / s, thus increasing the total peak bit rate with a factor N. Different antennas would give different multi-path propagation ( echo ) signatures, making it possible for digital signal processing techniques to separate different signals from each other.

In modern practice, only error detection, not flow control using sliding window, is present in data link protocols such as Point-to-Point Protocol ( PPP ), and, on local area networks, the IEEE 802. 2 LLC layer is not used for most protocols on the Ethernet, and on other local area networks, its flow control and acknowledgment mechanisms are rarely used.

Systematic use of NaNs was introduced by the IEEE 754 floating-point standard in 1985, along with the representation of other non-finite quantities like infinities.

In section 6. 2 of the revised IEEE 754-2008 standard there are two anomalous functions ( the maxnum and minnum functions that return the maximum of two operands that are expected to be numbers ) that favor numbers — if just one of the operands is a NaN then the value of the other operand is returned.

Most IEEE members are electrical and electronics engineers, but the organization's wide scope of interests has attracted people in other disciplines as well ( e. g., computer science, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, biology, physics, and mathematics ).

Funds for the awards program, other than those provided by corporate sponsors for some awards, are administered by the IEEE Foundation.

With the advent of the IEEE 802 suite of standards, a SNAP header combined with an IEEE 802. 2 LLC header is used to transmit the EtherType of a payload for IEEE 802 networks other than Ethernet, as well as for non-IEEE networks that use the IEEE 802. 2 LLC header, such as FDDI.

In 1961 a Sony delegation was visiting the IEEE trade show in New York City, including Ibuka, Akio Morita ( Sony's other co-founder ) and Nobutoshi Kihara, who was promoting his new CV-2000 home video tape recorder.

However, at least one major usage guide and the IEEE / ASTM standard allow " kWh " ( but do not mention other multiples of the watt hour ).

One IEEE 802. 11 WAP can typically communicate with 30 client systems located within a radius of 103 m. However, the actual range of communication can vary significantly, depending on such variables as indoor or outdoor placement, height above ground, nearby obstructions, other electronic devices that might actively interfere with the signal by broadcasting on the same frequency, type of antenna, the current weather, operating radio frequency, and the power output of devices.

In 1979, Adam Osborne viewed the machine along with several hundred other visitors at the first computer show that was sponsored by the IEEE Westec in Los Angeles.
