![]() ![]() Its main purpose is to ensure competition between manufacturers by specifying the size, power requirements, interfaces and performance of equipment to be located in the equipment bay of the aircraft. ĪRINC (Aeronautical Radio, Incorporated) is an airline run organisation concerned with the form, fit and function of equipment carried in aircraft. Both organisations frequently work together and produce common documents. The American Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA) and the European Organization for Civil Aviation Equipment (Eurocae) produce Minimum Operational Performance Standards for both ground and airborne equipment in accordance with the standards specified in ICAO Annex 10. Volume III, Part 1 is concerned with digital data communication systems including the data link functions of Mode S while volume IV defines its operation and signals in space. The objective is to ensure that aircraft crossing international boundaries are compatible with the Air Traffic Control systems in all countries that may be visited. It publishes annexes to the Convention and Annex 10 addresses Standards and Recommended Practices for Aeronautical Telecommunications. ![]() The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Given its primary military role of reliably identifying friends, IFF has more secure (encrypted) messages to prevent "spoofing" by the enemy, and is used on many types of military platforms including air, sea and land vehicles. Air traffic control systems recalculate reported pressure altitudes to true altitudes based on their own pressure references, if necessary. The pressure altitude is independent of the pilot's altimeter setting, thus preventing false altitude transmissions if altimeter is adjusted incorrectly. Most SSR systems rely on Mode C transponders, which report the aircraft pressure altitude. SSR can provide much more detailed information, for example, the aircraft altitude, as well as enabling the direct exchange of data between aircraft for collision avoidance. Independent secondary surveillance radar (ISSR), designation YMT, north of Chibougamau, Quebec, Canadaīoth the civilian SSR and the military IFF have become much more complex than their war-time ancestors, but remain compatible with each other, not least to allow military aircraft to operate in civil airspace. Primary radar is still used by ATC as a backup/complementary system to secondary radar, although its coverage and information is more limited. When primary radar was the only type of radar available, the correlation of individual radar returns with specific aircraft typically was achieved by the controller observing a directed turn by the aircraft. Its targets do not have to co-operate, they only have to be within its coverage and be able to reflect radio waves, but it only indicates the position of the targets, it does not identify them. For air traffic control purposes this is both an advantage and a disadvantage. This type of radar (called a primary radar) can detect and report the position of anything that reflects its transmitted radio signals including, depending on its design, aircraft, birds, weather and land features. Precise knowledge of the positions of aircraft would permit a reduction in the normal procedural separation standards, which in turn promised considerable increases in the efficiency of the airways system. The rapid wartime development of radar had obvious applications for air traffic control (ATC) as a means of providing continuous surveillance of air traffic disposition. ![]()

![]() While the SC-55 can sound better in some ways, there is no replacing the MT-32. You can really hear the difference in tracks like "Slime Blob" which have custom instruments and even sound effects that the SQ4CD General MIDI soundtrack had no way of replicating. While some samples don't sound quite as realistic as the SC-55's, the MT-32 supported custom timbre patches that Ken Allen took full advantage of.

I subsequently sent them a form letter, which they provided, requesting that they delete my personal data. They responded with a link to delete my information which does not work. Recently I requested that Moneyhouse delete personal information about me from their website, i.e., home address and telephone number, since this data is private. ![]() ![]() Apart from that, if the board member has single signature and you are not authorized, he could quite manage the company on his own, though he still has to act with diligence (= in line with the interests of the company). The only way to do it is to appoint a representative as a board member (having him sign an agreement which sets forth the way he should act (if needed), which is - basically - only on your instructions). There is therefore no happy way to remain fully "discreet" and to be the only one to take decisions for the company. Nevertheless, you wouldn't expect the shareholders to decide on the day to day business, which is usually delegated to the Directors. The shareholders' meeting is the highest organ in a SA, therefore shareholders' resolutions basically apply to anyone in the company, authorized to sign or not. The kind of decision making depends whether you act as a member of the board, as a member of the Direction or with a delegated authority. ![]() In practice, this is rarely done, except for the official acts (notary.) or with some important customers. Though it is the duty of your counterpart to verify whether you are authorized to sign. Theoretically the engagement signed by a non authorized person is not valid.

There is nothing he can do for the rest of his life to have this information removed from the internet. So when he travels all over the world anybody can Google that he is a banker in Switzerland. A few months later he found his name, home town, and citizenship posted on the internet by Money House. Maybe one could set up a company in Lichtenstein or Luxembourg (the one that is very close to Switzerland) and have it operate in Switzerland? Also do the details of shareholders of the company need to be published all over the internet?Ī friend of mine joined a large Swiss bank and was asked to have his signature in the commercial registrar. Also I was told that if your business goes bankrupt or does not work out, everybody can look this up on the internet FOREVER as Money House will not remove the details. Even Data Protection Office is upset about this but cannot do anything about it. If someone wants to be relatively discreet, is there a way to set up a business in Switzerland, without having your name, home town, and citizenship posted on the internet by Money House? Money House gets this information from the commercial registrar and under no circumstances would remove it from posting on the internet. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Yes, resolution is lower, but the full story is somewhat more complex. ![]() Side by side, Switch Metro is remarkably similar to its current-gen console counterparts but the reality is that some compromises were needed - and this process starts with image quality. Metro 2033 is a very, very different experience all around, while the sequel - Metro Last Light - also enjoys all of the improvements made for its transition to PS4 and Xbox One. Redux offers improved textures and models, a new lighting and materials model and more detail all around. Comparing Xbox 360 to Switch, the differences are stark. To begin with, we can confirm that this is indeed the newer, more modern Redux version of the game - not a conversion of the last-gen Xbox 360/PS3 renditions, which may have been more suited to the power level offered by the Nintendo hybrid. On top of that, the port hasn't been handed off to a separate developer as is often the case - 4A rolled up its sleeves and dug in for this one, producing a fascinating piece of work. It's also the first time a Metro game has appeared on a Nintendo platform and it's also the debut for the franchise on what is essentially mobile hardware. Stealth, combat and storytelling are all part of the experience, with both games offering a unique atmosphere quite unlike anything else on the market. With limited supplies, players make their way through the underground (occasionally venturing to the blasted surface) while dealing with a wide range of foes. ![]() Yes, it's another Switch port we're tackling but this time, the original developer has taken point on bringing the games across and as it's 4A you know you're in for something special.įor those unfamiliar, the first two Metro games are first-person shooters set deep within the radiation ravaged Metro system beneath Moscow. ![]() However, the firm also enjoyed success with their current-gen Metro Redux remasters, and now those titles are available for Nintendo Switch. Over the last ten years, 4A Games has built a reputation for pushing technology to new heights - from the original, remarkable Metro 2033 to last year's Metro Exodus - an open world showcase with beautiful ray traced global illumination. ![]() |
