At Ford, he also developed the first spectroscopies directed to microelectronics systems based on scanning tunneling microscopy. From 1986 through 1994, at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, he initiated the NASA Microin- strument program for distributed sensing. In 1994, Kaiser joined the faculty of the UCLA Electrical Engineering Department. Along with Professor Pottie, he initiated the first wireless networked microsen- sor programs with a vision of linking the Internet to the physical world through distributed monitoring. This continued research includes the topics of low power embedded computing for wireless networked sensing, biomedical

important in today’s technology-driven global economy.Engineers with a background in metrology will perform better in their chosen careers asdesigners of tomorrow’s measurement equipment because they know the needs of theircustomers, maybe better than the customers themselves. Unfortunately, many test equipmentpurchasers do not know what type of calibration they need until the day they get audited and findthat they do not comply with their industry’s standards. By understanding internationalmetrology requirements, engineers will choose calibration methods that are acceptedinternationally, and they will save their companies money by saving redesign, rework, orrecalibration costs. These knowledgeable engineers add value for which their companies

It ismarginally lighter, more fuel efficient, produces lower emissions and is easier to packagethan many comparable engines. The L61 is the lightest engine GM has produced in itsdisplacement class, and one of the most compact four–cylinder engines available. Thisengine should produce more than 100 kW of power naturally aspirated on E85 andprovide very good fuel efficiency and low emissions over its speed range when operatingon a combination of hydrogen and E85.Ricardo’s WAVE17 software and Gamma technologies GT–Power have been used tostudy the engine
