A Computationally Efficient Correlator for Pseudo-Random Correlation Systems
2000
Pseudo-random correlation systems find their application in many engineering fields like, communications, nondestructive testing, medical imaging, and geophysics. The heart of such systems is a correlator, which performs the cross-correlation between the received signal and a reference waveform. A new method of DSP-based correlator implementation is discussed. It exploits the structural characteristics of pseudo-random waveforms and performs the cross-correlation of any digitized waveform with a reference pseudo-random waveform, in a manner, much more efficient in terms of processing speed and hardware requirements. This new method can be applied for baseband or bandpass waveforms, and it can handle a wide range of modulation schemes and signaling structures. In order to achieve greater resolution of the calculated correlation function, it is possible to compute the correlation function for the lag values in fraction of the basic chip interval.

A statistical indoor localization method for
supporting location-based access control (Thesis)

2009
Location awareness is critical for supporting location-based access control (LBAC). The challenge is how to determine locations accurately and efficiently in indoor environments. Existing solutions based on WLAN signal strength either cannot provide high accuracy, or are too complicated to accommodate to different indoor environments. In this thesis, we propose a statistical indoor localization method for supporting location-based access control. In an one phase, we t a locally weighted regression and smoothing scatterplots (LOESS) model on the signal strength received at different training locations, and build a radio map that contains the distribution of signal strength. In an online phase, we determine the locations of unknown points using maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) based on the measured signal
strength and the stored distribution. In addition, we provide 95% confidence intervals to our estimation using Bootstrapping method. Compared with other approaches, for example, in [3] and [16], our method is simpler, more systematic and more accurate. Experimental results show that the estimation error of our method is less than 2m. Hence, it can better support LBAC applications than others.

Aircraft Information Systems Security
2001
This presentation was written in response to the aircraft communication failures associated with the September 11 (911) attack on the United States, by a foreign terrorist group. At this point in history, aircraft communications were not secure and could easily be jammed. The also were vulnerable to being shut down. At the time, this presentation prompted responses from local media and the New York Times. [Presented to the Information Assurance Seminar, Iowa State University] (My student, Michael L. Hageman, and I invented an idea for improved communication security in aircraft and patented the idea, US 6,865,215 B1 March 8, 2005.

An Adaptive Acoustic Echo Canceler for Hands-Free Teleconferencing
1996
A new technique for high quality acoustic echo cancellation in teleconference and speaker phone systems has been developed. The new echo canceler is based on an enhanced adaptive filtering algorithm and uses a spread-spectrum-based technique to mitigate the effects of double talk. The test facility used to develop this new acoustic echo canceler and the system design of echo canceler are described. [Presented to the Information Assurance Seminar, Iowa State University]

Lewis and Clark - Ordway Campsite
Discovery and Investigation

2009
A report on Steve F. Russell/'s discovery and documentation of the Lewis and Clark - Ordway Campsite (May 29-30, 1806), on the Snake River at Cougar Rapids Bar. Newspaper accounts credited Dr. Russell with the discovery, but the archeologists that excavated the site did not credit him in their journals. Instead, they implied that they had discovered the site.

Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery OLLIE Presentation I
Introduction to the Expedition

2018
A detailed examination os the 1803-1806 expedition of the Corps of Discovery Expedition under the command of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. This expedition was founded by President Thomas Jefferson for the exploration of the Louisiana Purchase and lands in the northwestern United States. Maps and campsite photos were included.
The following six presentation were given to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLIE) students at the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Program, 2018.  Dr. Russell has hiked all the trail routes on public land, and has hiked all the routes on private land, when given permission.

PATENT - 6,865,215, Spread Spectrum Digital Data Communication Overlay System And Method
2005
A digital data communication overlay system is disclosed which is overlaid on a predefined frequency band of an existing analog data communication system. The digital data communication overlay system comprises a digital mobile unit and a digital ground station. The digital mobile unit and the digital ground station are configured to transmit and receive spread spectrum digital data communication signals between each other over the same spread spectrum digital channel. This is done by spreading the spread spectrum digital data communication signals over the predefined frequency spectrum of the existing analog data communication system.
This system was unique in that it used frequency-hopping for antijam implementation. It is superior to CDMA for antijam performance.

Sacagawea, Lewis and Clark, Factual Information from Original Sources
2018
     Sacagawea is an intriguing figure in western American history. A great volume of literature has been devoted to telling about her life. Unfortunately, most of what is written about her is fanciful and fiction. The same fictions are repeated over and over until, today, they have achieved the status of ‘truth.’
     The book “Sacajawea: A Guide and Interpreter of the Lewis and Clark Expedition,” 1933, by the well known, and respected, Wyoming historian, Grace Raymond Hebard, has been used as an ‘original source’ of information for many books and web pages that report the fiction as fact. I read the book and really enjoyed it but I knew it was fiction. I think Hebard would be appalled if she could see what has happened today.
     My writing of this short report was motivated by the desire to give serious Lewis and Clark scholars, particularly those new to the area, a canonical form of what is actually known about Sacagawea from the original sources. I apologize for any Journal entries that may have been overlooked, or mistakenly applied.
     Perhaps, future scholars will improve upon this report for future generations. The tide of misinformation about Sacagawea has been rising so long, and with such force, that it will never be corrected, but at least this report gives motivated scholars a basis on which to write factually about her life.
