I think you are missing the point, Alexander.  From my limited reading here 
as I lurk, you seem to taking freely available data and putting it behind 
the infamous IEEE paywall.  If that isn't the case, I apologize.  That sort 
of thing will always tend to chase the folks who could probably make the 
best use of it, away.

I could well be full of it, but that is how this now old man who has been 
chasing electrons and making them do work useful for me and my employers 
for the last 62 years, sees and tastes my experiences with IEEE.  Its a bad 
taste in my mouth every time we meet.

If you think I'm kidding about the years above, I had fingerprints on the 
pcb's of the two tv cameras that were on the Trieste when it, Lt. Walsh and 
Jacques Cousteau  went down into the mohole in Feb. 1960.

That, and $1.32 will get you a 16 oz cup of coffee to go at my local 7-11. 
:)

Cheers, Gene
