GPS and Teleportation stuff
So I went on another information gathering spree today. Researched Global Positioning Systems and the possibility of Teleportation among other things (both triggered by discussions going on at the MIT Forum on CC). So here's a quick summary (in an effort to fill the void of "technogadgetory" articles on my blog - look at the About box!).
Global Positioning System - An incredible achievement by any standards. This system of satellites allows anyone to pinpoint their location on this planet within a few tens of meters, using nothing but a handheld "receiver." There are two major constellations, one by the US Air Force (the one which is actually called "Global Positioning System"), and the other: the Russian Glonass constellation. The method they use is pretty neat - triangulation. Head over straight to Trimble for a fun, interactive description of all there is to know about GPS.
Teleportation - Another interesting topic. Contrary to what you may think, teleportation is scientifically possible (i.e. not just a Sci-fi fantasy). The only difference is, teleportation means transmission of information about how to re-create an object rather than transmitting the whole object itself.
A lot of interesting topics surfaced during my journey through the web. The basic idea was first proposed by scientists at IBM Research Lab (one of the places I'd really like to work at, another being Xerox PARC), while the first actual teleportation was carried out by Caltech researchers in 1997. It revolves around the concept of quantum entanglement. Head over to this page for a lucid explanation.
Interesting stuff!

Well, the more, the better ;)
I had a vague idea about Galileo but wasn't sure..

Hey everyone! Cool site! The customer support seems good and the technology jobs are endless. Maybe I will have a better directmatch searching for human resources
since my keyword "customer care jobs" did not fit as intended.
Glad I found you! Keep on keepin on!

Millennium Plus operates using an innovative hybrid of technologies, including GPS satellites and patented microburst cell technology. Each time you communicate with the transceiver in the vehicle, there is a two way flow of information.
* When accessing Millennium Plus via the Internet using any standard browser, you send out a signal. That signal then travels to the cell phone tower nearest your current location.
* Microburst technology operates on existing cellular networks to send and receive data packets, tapping into unused channels on the back side of standard cell frequencies.
* The GPS satellites then locate and communicate with the Millennium Plus transceiver on board your vehicle, which exchanges information on location and speed, as well as executing any commands you've sent.
* The cell towers then relay the signal back to you via the exact means by which it was sent.

Hi there Blogger, I was searching for gps vehicle tracking system and came across you post. While this post is not an exact match for what I was looking for, it was worth the read and the information is appreciated. I will continue to search for more information on gps vehicle tracking system but I thank you for the effort and hope that you keep up the good work.
