The significance of presenting a professional image that projects self-confidence to business contacts, coworkers, managers, and executives of our employers and clients cannot be overstated. Employers look to men and women who possess a professional style, social polish and confidence to represent them publicly. Professionals who know how to conduct business introductions and understand the importance of and demonstrate knowledge of proper greeting skills command an immediate presence in successful networking events. Men and women who understand the influence of nonverbal communication exhibited by body language and gestures, who know how to quickly adapt and feel comfortable in a variety of business situations, either with strangers, existing business associates, or while participating in the traditions, social customs, and etiquette of different cultures have a competitive edge, whether it is in marketing and sales or engineering.

To learn about correct business introductions, shaking hands, exchanging business cards, today's dress code, and more, attend this evening activity.

Our speaker, Jean O'Brien has 20 years of experience in the field of human resources management where she witnessed first-hand the difference in career progression between professionals exhibiting a polished, professional image and those who do not. {/EVENT} {EVENT} 20031112 12 November 2003 Wed {Key} 20031102-122549 {Date} Wednesday, November 12, 2003 {eDate} 12 November 2003 [Wed] {Subject} Northern Virginia Section Administrative Committee Meeting {Org} {Sponsor} Northern Virginia Section {Speaker} {Place} Corner Seven Cafe Tysons Corner Marriott, 8205 Leesburg Pike at the corner of Crescent Towers Drive {Time} 6:30 PM {Info} The Northern Virginia Section Administrative Committee meets regularly.

UWB technology continues to excite the imagination, promising reliable high bandwidth communications and sensing technology. The initial euphoria following the FCC decision on UWB frequency allocation in February 2002 has given way to steady progress in the theoretical understanding of UWB technology. Practical applications of UWB technology to Personal Area Networks, location and sensing, and secure communications are now on the near horizon.

On-site registration will be available Sunday afternoon, November 16, 3:00 to 6:00 PM and Monday morning, November 17, 7:00 AM to 12:00 noon.

Back-to-back tutorials will be held on Monday, November 17. Dr. Georgios Giannakis with the University of Minnesota will kick off Monday morning activities with an advanced tutorial on UWB technologies. Drs. William Shvodian and Matt Welborn of XtremeSpectrum will lead the Monday afternoon tutorial, which will focus on an overview of the 802.15 UWB standard.

A reception will be held on Monday evening. Parallel sessions of technical paper presentations will follow on Tuesday and Wednesday, and will include the topics of antenna theory and modeling, UWB circuits and devices, channel measurements and modeling, communication system and waveform design, interference and multiple access, radar and ranging applications, networks, and timing acquisition. {/EVENT} {EVENT} 20031118 18 November 2003 Tue {Key} 20031102-122549 {Date} Tuesday, November 18, 2003 {eDate} 18 November 2003 [Tue] {Subject} Bus Rapid Transit {Org} VT-06 {Sponsor} Vehicular Technology Society, Land Transportation Committee {Speaker} Greg Hull {Place} NASSIF Building, 400 7th Street, SW, Washington, D.C. {Time} 11:30 AM {Info} {Direct} {Cost} {Contact} Bradley Luse at {Email}bradley.luse@wgint.com{/Email} or 703-247-4491 {Diamond} {/EVENT} {EVENT} 20031118 18 November 2003 Tue {Key} 20031102-122549 {Date} Tuesday, November 18, 2003 {eDate} 18 November 2003 [Tue] {Subject} Roundtable Discussion on Marketing {Org} NCAC-CN {Sponsor} National Capital Area Consultants' Network {Speaker} {Place} Dinner location: Seven Seas Restaurant, 8503 Baltimore Blvd. (Route 1), College Park, Md.

The evolving satellites are more complex and have more sensors, increasing data bandwidth and volume. This increase in capability and enhancements has placed a significant burden on the user community, which must keep up with the evolving spacecraft communication system and instrument specifications and handle the exponentially increasing data volume and complex data processing algorithms required to make the data useful. This presentation will focus on NASA's development of the NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP) In-Situ Ground System (NISGS), which will help the user community by providing a direct readout (DR) solution that incorporates technologies necessary to process instruments from the NPP spacecraft.

Patrick L. Coronado received the B.S. degree from the University of Michigan and masters degrees in Aerospace Engineering, Space System, and in Engineering Management from The George Washington University. He has worked in remote sensing for the past 15 years in support of NASA's Earth Science applications.
