  6. Chapter 11.

  7. Ancient TV RC used ultrasound transmitters. They are no more used in the civilized world, but maybe in Cuba are still there. People of the embassy were busy with two remote controls in a fight to decide which TV sitcom to view and...

  14. Re:will it be battery powered? on Samsung Gets Self-Driving Car Permit In California (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

  15. Naval NDB on Cyber Threats Prompt Return of Radio For Ship Navigation (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    This old but effective technology has been discontinued for sea navigation around 1990 to be replaced by Loran-C and GPS. Although not so accurate, it was very reliable, and cheap to mantain and use. LF beacons still survive for aerial navigation, although the transmitter number has been significantly reduced recently. It wouldn't be that bad to have them ready to be switched on when needed.
