[AI] Wireless ways for high-speed file swaps
Wireless ways for high-speed file swaps New wireless personal networks promise ultra-fast data exchange over short distances Illustration: NICTA Gigabit wireless: The Gi-Fi integrated wireless transceiver chip developed at the National ICT Research Centre, Australia. - Move over Wi-Fi, Gi-Fi is here! They are not putting it quite that way, but recent developments hold out the hope that very large video and other files, can be swapped within seconds, by wireless devices operating over a few metres, in largely unused and unlicensed higher frequency bands. First tangible evidence The first tangible evidence that Gi-Fi (the 'Gi' is for gigabit data rates) might be more than just a neat new acronym, came from Australia last week. Researchers at the Victoria Research Laboratory of National Information and Communication Technology Australia Ltd (NICTA), announced that they had developed the world's first transmitter-receiver integrated on a single chip, operating at 60 GHz and fabricated using the complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process. (http://nicta.com.au/news/current ) The chip, just 5 mm per side, has a tiny 1 mm antenna and uses the 60 GHz 'millimetre-wave' spectrum - an unlicensed band of 7 GHz between 57 GHZ and 64GHz. NICTA's CEO David Skellern says the technology will allow the wireless transfer of audio and video files at rates up to 5 gigabits per second. almost ten times faster than what is currently possible. And the fabrication which uses a 130 nanometre CMOS process, may lead eventually to chips priced as low as $10. There are a number of firsts here: One, developing high frequency radio components in a standard CMOS process rather than in silicon seems to be a major achievement. If the process can be scaled up, it holds out the possibility of low cost, low power chips which are also very high broadband. To get a feel for the scale of achievement, consider the best we can achieve with today's incumbent wireless technologies, Wi-Fi ,Wi-MAX or Bluetooth. WiFi (WLAN, 802.11) operates in the 2.4 GHz band, has transfer rates of between 11 MBPS and 55 MBPS. WiMAX ( 802.16WiMAX) operates in the 2-11 GHz band and achieves data rates of up to 70 MBPS. Bluetooth (802.15Bluetooth) whose operational ranges are comparable to what can be achieved by the Australian Gi-Fi chip, is typically capable of 20 KBPS to 200 KBPS and in its fastest version, peaks at 55 MBPS. Second, this is one of the first practical applications in the band of what is being known as mw-WPAN, that is, millimeter wave Wireless Personal Area Network. or 802.15.3 to give it the correct designation. An IEEE Task Group no. 3C was formed in 2005 to develop this new WPAN alternative which promises to harness a relatively uncrowded, unlicensed band while offering the hope of data rates of at least 1 GBPS and typically 2 GBPS or better. (see entries for Task Group 3C at http://www.ieee802.org/15/ for technical details and future roadmap). The potential of mw-WPAN for ultra fast data exchange has prompted companies like Intel, LG, Matsushita (Panasonic), NEC, Samsung, SiBEAM, Sony and Toshiba to form WirelessHD, an industry-led effort to define a specification for the next generation wireless digital network interface for consumer electronics products. Specifically, WirelessHD has a stated goal of enabling wireless connectivity for streaming high-definition content between source devices and high-definition displays. ( see http://www.wirelesshd.org ). In fact the NICTA effort, says its Gigabit Wireless Project leader Prof Stan Skafidas, has been supported by key industry players like IBM, Synopsys, Cadence, Anritsu, Aglent, Microsoft and SUSS MicroTec, so clearly there is industry interest in exploiting any technology that might boost data rates and drop product costs, ten fold. an enticing possibility. Usable prototypes In an indoor environment, the NICTA Gi-Fi device ( usable prototypes may be less than a year away) is expected to work over a distance of up to 10 metres. which puts it somewhere between Bluetooth and WiFi, range-wise. What will it do for you and me? Consumers could typically download a high definition movie from a kiosk in a matter of seconds to a music player or smart phone and having got home, could play it on a home theatre system or store it on a home server for future viewing, again within a few seconds. Maybe, it's not that premature to say, "WiFi, it's time to move over, the competition is here!"

Re: [AI] converting docx into other formats?
That's correct and I do use this converter. But when you have to open the docx file in another computer after being opened/saved with this converter pack, it can create problems and henceforth it is a good idea to save it in word document format before using it in another computer.

Re: [AI] converting docx into other formats?
Here is what you must be looking for, M.S Windows Microsoft has added a new file format called the Microsoft Office Open XML File Format (.docx) to Microsoft Office Word 2007, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 and Microsoft Office Excel 2007. But this format is not compatible with earlier versions of Microsoft Office. With the help of Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack, you can convert .docx files to .doc files very easily and you can open and save Office Open XML Formats in earlier versions of Microsoft Office. By installing the Compatibility Pack in addition to Microsoft Office 2000, Office XP, or Office 2003, you will be able to open, edit, and save files using the file formats new to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007. Before installing compatibility pack, users of Microsoft Office XP and 2003 must install all High-Priority updates from Microsoft Update. This Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack supports Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows XP Service Pack 1, and Windows XP Service Pack 2. Download Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack to download, please go here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941B3470-3AE9-4AEE-8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en Hope this helps, many thanks regards mamta business associate (TCS) - Original Message - From: "Mahesh Panicker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2008 7:35 PM Subject: [AI] converting docx into other formats? hi list. as all of you would be aware of, Microsoft office 2007 comes with the new format of docx insted of the usual doc. docx do not open in office 07, and one has to use some converters. even K1000 can't detect the new format. as of now, I am using a converter, 'Docx to RTF'. the problem with is that it do not get installed with the system, and one has to open the exe file all the time o convert. are there any easier options?

Re: [AI] guidance required regarding the training for visually impaired for VI women.
Well if trainings have to be started for women, just talking about it would not help. It depends on resources, vision and kind of target profile of women. One can definitely guide but a visit would be required and an observation of a women's centre would definitely help. I'll be happy to give further guidance and any other help that's possible.

They offer computer training for the blind, residential courses for independent living skills for blind women, recording talking books for students, vocational training, Job placement etc. Please access their web site at http://www.mitrajyothi.org to get full details of their activities and services. The phone contact given on their web site will change as Mitra Jyothi is moving to their new facilities, a newly built four story building in the HSR layout in Bangalore. Their email is Phone: (080) 2528 8504. Likely to change in two or three weeks. They have an excellent residential training programme for blind women to teach them independent living skills, give them self confidence and self esteem, motivate them to succeed etc. I have visited Mitra Jyothi several times and found that they have good facilities and efficient staff. regards V.
