How Radar Guns Used By Police Operate.

July 30, 2013 by

How do those devices that measure your car speed operate exactly? For over five decades police officers have been pulling over speeding drivers and handing them a ticket (or letting them off with a warning) for going over the marked speed limit.

Most typically police officers will be stationary hidden away with their police speed gun either mounted in their police vehicle. Until very recently, the radars used by law enforcement were able to detect the speed of a moving car with the Doppler effect. This method measures the change in frequency, or oscillations per unit of time.

Each part of the signal is reflected when it reaches the car, mirroring the original signal exactly. But when the car is moving, each part of the radio signal made by the radar gun is reflected at a different point in space, which changes the wave pattern. When the car is moving away from the radar gun, the second segment of the signal has to travel a greater distance to reach the car than the first segment of the signal.

While conventional radar guns are still in use across the country, many police departments are increasing the radar guns sales of LIDAR radar guns. These guns detect speed by using concentrated light and lasers. A burst of infrared light is made by the LIDAR gun and clocks the time taken to return back to the starting point. It determines how far away an object is by multiplying this time by the speed of light.

Terminal Services Log Reports, Tracking Employee Productivity

May 17, 2013 by

The ability to track employee productivity and server activity with a terminal services log is extremely helpful.  The assistance of being able to monitor RDP bandwidth can also be highly beneficial to supervisors and IT staff.

There are many offices that are beginning to the move to going totally virtual, cutting ties with the typical cubicle structure in the office.  This is giving the employees the freedom to work from anywhere, at any time.  The problem though is that when you have employees working remotely from all around the world, it is very difficult to keep track of everything that they are doing.  As a manager or business owner, you have to stress about things such as user productivity when you cannot see exactly what people are doing.  On top of that, there are a lot of security concerns when working remotely due to the fact that there is potential for employees to run different unauthorized programs on their work laptops or even home laptops, connecting to the office network remotely.  Finally, there is also the issue of potential server performance issues that could occur from the added strain that remote computing brings to the table.  The fact of the matter is that many companies are going virtual, and it is more important than ever to be aware of the risks that are in place when employees are working remotely.
