architecture5.For obvious reasons, it was necessary to minimize the cost and complexity of this project.Experimentation with SDR hardware and software has recently become widespread in theAmateur Radio community, where minimization of cost and complexity are similarly important.Much of this activity has been focused on the Near-Zero-IF approach, in which the RF band ofinterest is downconverted to the audio frequency range. A/D conversion is then performed by aPC sound card. The sound card’s two input channels, normally used as “left” and “right”channels for stereo sound recording, are used as “in-phase” (I) and “quadrature” (Q) signalprocessing channels as shown in Figure 1. The Flex Radio Systems SDR-10006,7,8,9, aproduction high-frequency (HF, or

’ confidence level and their combined average of previous IT related courses.We use a pre-course survey to determine incoming students’ confidence score with IT. ForIT305, the questions addressed their confidence level in IT skills and familiarity with MicrosoftAccess and Visio. A Likert scale, from one to five, was used to determine a raw score ofstudents in each category. Table I shows the percentage of students who fell within eachconfidence interval, C, per questions, Q. We let PQC equal the percentage of students in aconfidence interval per question. Table 1 - Distribution of Confidence Levels for Non-CS/IT Majors. Not Slightly Very Highly

This course ofaction is supported by 1910.151: “a person or persons shall be adequately trained to render firstaid.”General machining and equipmentAll of the grinding, cutting, milling, drilling, welding, and lathing of various metal, wood, andplastic materials presents a lot of similar potential hazards that can be covered by several OSHAregulations. This includes, for example: 1910.212 - General requirements for all machines,1910.213 - Woodworking machinery requirements, 1910 Subpart Q - Welding, Cutting, andBrazing, and 1910.215 - Abrasive wheel machinery.
