Orphan date August 2011 IntegratedPublishingSystem is a system created in 1982 for publishing multilingual literature. It was designed to run on an IBM mainframe computer using an Autologic typesetter. It was thought that IBM hoped to be able to use this to increase their hold on the publishing industry, since such systems were rare at the time due to the unprofitability of publishing in many countries with poor economies. ref Seybold Report on Publishing Systems, Volume 12, No. 1, September 13, 1982 ref The software had been developed, despite its lack of financial viability on a for profit basis, by the Corporations of Jehovah s Witnesses Watchtower Bible and Tract Society for the non profit publishing of Christian literature.

The Integrated Locking System is designed so that individuals who desire to protect themselves, their family, or their business can do so without the concern of the firearm discharging and causing harm to an innocent individual. The system and several variations are currently acquiring or have acquired patents from the United States Patent Office and are undergoing development. Usage The ILS is in essence a safety mechanism to cut down the number of deaths related to accidental firearms discharge. The system has the option of having a key built in by the owner, and any attempt by any one other than the authorized user will trip the alarm system and the weapon will emit a high decibel signal to deter unauthorized access. ref name autogenerated1 http www.patentstorm.us patents 5548915 description.html ref Construction The most recent patent approved uses the housing of the weapon to protect itself as well as a customized key system to further assure that unauthorized access is impossible.

Image Integrated reception.jpg right thumb 200px An IRS mast highest in picture on a communal housing block, with a few of the aerials it will replace An integrated reception system IRS provides broadcast signals from multiple sources typically terrestrial television , FM radio , DAB digital radio and satellite TV to multiple outlets, via a single aerial cluster and signal booster distributor. The most obvious use for such a system is in communal housing blocks, where one aerial cluster can replace many aerials serving individual dwellings e.g. flats or apartments . The predecessor to IRS was MATV master aerial television which provided communal housing with terrestrial TV signals only. Because the booster distributor boxes within such systems usually need replacing to cope with digital terrestrial television digital terrestrial TV signals, many landlords are opting to replace the entire system with IRS at the time of digital terrestrial TV switchover, thereby reducing the clutter of in particular satellite TV dishes which have appeared on many communal housing blocks since the 1990s. ref http www.caivision.com integrated reception.html A typical commercial web page advertising IRS ref Unfortunately, because satellite transmissions use extremely high broadcast frequencies, they tend to leak from long cables, so IRS requires installation of very high quality cabling, in addition to the aerial cluster and sophisticated booster distributor box. To cover the high cost of installation and maintenance of such a sensitive system, the annual charge levied by landlords for communal aerial provision is likely to increase substantially. ref http www.whitehaven news.co.uk unknown viewarticle.aspx?c 1637&id 544681 Whitehaven News article on IRS charges from the first UK urban area to go all digital ref References reflist Category Television technology radio comm stub tv tech stub ... more details

IPS is a result of Annex I of Homeland Security Presidential Directive HSPD 8 , which tasked DHS with developing an integrated planning system. IPS is ICS NIMS compliant and is based on coordination and synchronization rather than command and control. The IPS applies to Federal departments and agencies with a role in homeland security when conducting scenario based planning. It is particular useful for developing plans against the fifteen National Planning Scenarios. IPS doctrine supports 1 Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5 HSPD 5 , 2 Homeland Security Presidential Directive 8 HSPD 8 , Annex I, 3 National Response Framework NRF , 4 National Incident Management System NIMS , 5 National Preparedness Guidelines NPG , and 6 National Strategy for Homeland Security NSHS . Purpose The Integrated Planning System IPS fulfills the requirement for a standardized national planning process and integration system as directed by Annex I to HSPD 8. Additionally, the IPS supports the development of a family of related planning documents Strategic Guidance Statements SGSs , Strategic Plans, Concept Plans CONPLANs , Operations Plans OPLANs , and tactical plans. Hierarchy of Plans IPS introduces four planning levels Strategic, Conceptual, Operational, and Tactical. Federal Requirement Federal agencies with no existing planning processes are required to adopt the IPS. The IPS does not supersede any existing State, local, and Tribal planning processes.

The IFS is a global model that runs every twelve hours. Its output runs out to ten days in one day intervals.

The deterministic mode has twice the horizontal resolution of the ensemble, and one and a half times the vertical resolution 60 layers in the deterministic compared to 40 in the ensemble both modes vertical layers follow terrain at low levels. The IFS, like the GFS, uses spectral representation rather than a grid based system.
