In this paper a CPW-fed slot antenna for wideband application was designed and simulated. In order to examine the performances of this antenna a prototype was designed at frequency 2.4 GHz and simulated with various width of slot antenna in both sides for input impedances matching and simulated by IE3D software package of Zeland. The simulation result of bandwidth is 1.65 GHz (2.1{3.75 GHz) which covers the standard frequency of IEEE 802.11 b/g (2.4{2.4835 GHz) and Wimax (2.3{3.6 GHz). With these performances the proposed antenna can be used in wideband applications.

In this paper we have analyzed the performance of combining security system (SSL Protocol) with current TCP/IP module by porting security shareware into the EDC (Electronic Data Capture) devices. Finally in order to understand the impact on the EDC’s performance we test the throughput of the EDC before and after applying security with various encryption algorithms.

The narrow slot loop antenna and linear slot antenna fed by microstrip line are designed for dual frequency at 2.44 GHz and 5.25 GHz on the standard of IEEE 802.11b/g (2.4{2.4835 GHz) IEEE 802.11j/a (5.15{5.35 GHz) and IEEE 802.16d (5.7{5.9 GHz). These structures are easy to adjust the length of slot antenna for dual frequency band. It can control the higher frequency band around 4.9 GHz to 5.8 GHz by linear slot antenna. Adjusting some parameters of narrow slot loop antenna will influence on the resonance frequency and bandwidth. By using IE3D software [1] the characteristics of antenna are investigated and analyzed including instance input impedance return loss and far field radiation patterns.

At present business globalization is highly competitive and so is hotel business administration. Therefore to maintain effectiveness and growth in hotel business administration appropriate strategies must be implemented especially in human resource management in order to enhance the personnel to effectively work up to their potentials. Knowledge management or KM is considered one of the best strategies to be introduced in hotel business administration. Conceptually stated KM aims at extracting tacit knowledge by using knowledge skill attitude and experience from the human resource in operation to create the viable learning organization in hotel business.

This research was concerned with dye extraction from the bark of eucalyptus and application for silk and cotton fabric dyeing. Silk and cotton fabrics were treated with premordanting process before dyeing experiments in order to facilitate dye absorbency of fabrics such as silk dyeing at 90ฐC for 40 minutes and pH 4 cotton dyeing at 60ฐC for 40 minutes and pH no adjustment. The best result was achieved when liquor ratio between fabric and dyed solution as 1:30 was employed. Silk dyed in the solution extracting from the bark of eucalyptus with mordant compound displayed yellow to brown colour except fabric using fesrrous (Fe) mordant exhibiting the shade of dark brown to grey. For cotton fabric the shade of yellow to orange was obtained except fabric using ferrous (Fe) mordant displaying the shade of pale grey to gray. Silk and cotton fabrics treated with pre-mordanted and dyeing process has presented the properties of colour fastness to washing water and perspiration from good to very good level whereas colour fastness to light and rubbing was from fair to good level.
