// Instrument Landing System   // //By: Connor// 1/20/10 Today, I’ll be taking about the //Instrument Landing System// or //ILS//. This landing system is used for providing precision guidance for incoming aircraft, willing to actually land on a runway. By using a combination of radio signals, as well in some cases, high-intensity lighting arrays to allow the approaching aircraft to land safely, during meteorological interment approved conditions. Also, if you haven’t noticed low ceilings such as fog, rain, or blowing snow can impair vision therefore, the need for an //ILS// approach is needed. There are even //ILS// approach charts to guide pilots through the rough weather. These so called charts allow the pilot to have vital information including //ILS// flight operations, radio frequencies that are compatible for the certain //ILS// approach. The charts also include the navaids (navigational aid objects) as well as the minimal visibility requirements prescribed for that certain runway approach. The main components of this whole //Instrument Landing System// include many sub-systems such as the lateral guidance (localizer), other vertical guidance (glide slope or glide path), as well as the radios that pick up and produce as signal. On the route to the runway there are the final products that make the //ILS// system possible, even miles away from the actual runway itself. These systems include the outer marker, middle marker, and inner marker. These makers help carry the signal of frequencies all the way to the guided approach by the charts themselves. Again, the sub-systems have different purposes such as, the localizer which provides the pilot with the centerline for that runway. This system in some cases shows the angle to the runway usually needed for having obstructions around the airport. These distractions include other lights and taxi way lights, which seem similar at night. Other than helping with guiding the airplane down the centerline the localizer is a really helping tool. Also, when setting the radio to the correct frequency the localizer will use Morse code to identify if you are heading towards the right runway. The localizer also has a back-course future. This includes when a plane misses an approach there will automatically be signals sent back reiterate the initial course. This whole //ILS// system helps the safety and well being for air travel and the people who fly and monitor the plane them self. While enjoying a nice flight, remember that all the systems in aviation are well thought out and are implied to make flying safe and efficient. If you are confused, please check out the site: [] Well, last time I checked, teachers cherish and applaud information to the highest to least important and telling me my data is not important to know puzzles me. According to our groups topic; //aviation// it is completely relevant to write about the many features that make aviation so advanced. I don’t appreciate the comment made on such a wonderful topic, in my mind, and would like to finish off with saying, “I’m really upset with this whole incident.”

Google joins the smart phone battle. Attention all texters! If you want unlimited texting, than the new Nexus One smart phone is for you. Google is introducing its own branded mobile phone named Nexus and it will be sold only through its new online phone store. Nexus One will be available without wireless service for $529.00 or for $179.00 with a two year contract from T-Mobile. The T-Mobile plan costs$79.99 a month for 500 voice minutes and unlimited data and texting. Now compare this to the cheapest phone plan that costs $69.99 for 450 minutes, unlimited data but he texting is extra. The Nexus One is a better deal for anyone who loves to text. Other advantages include voice activated text boxes, bigger screen with higher resolution, thinner and lighter in weight. I think this phone will become more popular than the Apple iphone. What do you think?

2.)

1.) One of the most common words posted on theses wordles are as I’ve noticed would have to be the word //think//. I would imagine that the reason for this mishap is because of the whole idea of everyone asking viewers to think and post their opinions. Other than that “said” example I cannot comprehend why this is so.

3.) When I compared our group’s art, if you will; to another peer’s art I’ve noticed that there are huge differences in the composition of the words. I would explain this only by saying that we both have different and suggestive topics. Again, I would also announce that both groups have different topics too; therefore the words involved with the so called wordle might vary. There are vast amounts of similarities and differences. Some include having the same format and text, others embrace color and patterns. There is one difference that stands out, that is of course the words involved in the wordle itself. So, all and all every single group’s wordle is different and unique.

 * 4. Here are three websites I found that contained a lot of information about technology and are worth looking at: **
 * __[] __**** Gizmodo includes a lot of information about new technology that you would think is sci-fi. **
 * __ [|www.engadget.com] __**** Engadget gives you technology news and is up to date. **

Ram Sundar Date:1-5-2010 **
 * __ [|www.thinksecret.com] __**** Think Secret has everything you need to know about the MAC. **
 * 5. There are many Blogs that are in the internet with diverse and interesting topics in our topic technology. Technology is a very popular topic and is used by everyone in the modern society. My Ideas are very similar and different from other technology blogs out in the internet. Gizmodo has a lot of what I would like to talk about because it talks about the best and the flashiest electronics out there, but it does include some ideas that we would not like. Gizmodo has every type of advanced technology, but we find it more interesting to research electronics in specific.

 * 6. The next topic that we would like on the post is going to be about Apples new iSlate (or at least that’s what the internet calls it). There have been many rumors about apples new touch screen MAC which looks like the iPod Touch and iPhone, with a whopping price of $1000.00! This is just a rumor and Apple may not even make the new iSlate at all. Gizmodo and may other sites on the internet give lots of information my topic. **
