New GSM/GPRS/EDGE Wireless Analyser

Europe : NetHawk is introducing a new release of their analyser, the main new functionalities being intended to help the user in testing of a live GPRS/EDGE network by any major vendor.
One of the main new features is the correlated multi-interface call trace, which makes it easy for the user to follow all the ongoing circuit-switched calls and packet switched sessions in real time in Gb, Abis, and A interfaces. This, combined with the extended physical link capacity through the NetHawk portable C8 multiplexer, and powerful new filtering features make for the most advanced and versatile protocol testing tool on the market. NetHawk is not sacrificing ease of use for the added functionality; the new analyser’s Dynamic Abis support, along with other optimisations to the user interface, minimises the need for configuration and enables more efficient testing work.
The capabilities of the NetHawk Analyser have been further enhanced by including support for the SS7 and SigTran protocols, as well as for 2-Mbps HSL (high-speed signalling link) interfaces. In addition to this, the NetHawk Analyser can also handle Gb deciphering in real time in both Gb over Frame Relay and Gb over IP implementations. To respond to modern Europe’s railway operators’ needs, NetHawk is also introducing support for decoding GSM-R (GSM – Railway), which is the standard chosen by several railway operators for operational communications.
All these new features, combined with the unmatched portability of NetHawk tools, provide strong support to NetHawk’s customers in their efforts to develop their networks for new services and revenue sources, as well as for troubleshooting their live networks for increased quality and performance.

CleverStat is a nifty tool I've been using recently for web site content analysis. Unlike numerous online apps, CleverStat makes a copy of the site on your hard drive and analyzes the entire thing and not only individual pages.

INFRARED ANALYZER

INFRARED ANALYZER

The above diagram provides a graphic representation of the basic design of an infrared analyzer which is used to measure breath alcohol concentrations. The design is based on the fact that specific wavelengths of infrared energy are absorbed by ethyl alcohol molecules. In its simplest form, the instrument's detector measures the change in the amount of a specific wavelength of infrared energy that passes from the infrared source (lamp), through the sample chamber and filter wheel to the detector. The change in response on the detector, as a breath sample is submitted to the sample chamber , is monitored and analyzed by a processor in the instrument. The change in the signal is used to calculate an alcohol concentration
