We, the Lexington Computer and Technology Group, will meet at the usual
10AM Wednesday time, BUT ONLINE, using the Zoom Video Conferencing
Application, facilitated by Steve Isenberg.

There is an instruction page at https://toku.us/zoomish but note that the
URL and phone number shown are examples.


Some time after 9:45AM on Wednesday, choose one of the following options:

   - If you have the Zoom application installed, start it and join meeting
   with ID 972 6146 0830
   - From your browser, go to: https://zoom.us/j/97261460830
   - From your smartphone, tap this: +16468769923,,97261460830
   - From a “dumb” telephone, call 1 646 876 9923 and enter meeting ID: 972
   6146 0830

Once the connection is established, you may need to locate and use the
on-screen controls that turn on the sound and the video. You should be able
to see and hear others and they should be able to see and hear you, if you
have a camera and microphone (each of which you can unmute selectively).


If this email wasn't addressed to you and you would like to join the group,
or if you have a friend or colleague who might also be interested in
joining, it's easy.  Ask them to go to the group's wiki page at
http://LCTG.toku.us and follow the simple instructions under "Join the
Email List".  By being a member of the group you'll get reminders of
upcoming meetings and infrequent related messages. No advertising.  The
list is tightly managed.

Membership is free and given that all meetings are using Zoom you only need
to be connected to the Internet to join.  It's ok to join from anywhere you
can get a decent Internet connection, even if you're in orbit around Earth
or on another planet or a moon (if you're connecting from somewhere not on
Earth, we'd like to chat).


*Below are our plans for Upcoming Meetings. For more schedule information,
please refer to https://wiki.toku.us/doku.php?id=lctg_speaker_schedule
<https://wiki.toku.us/doku.php?id=lctg_speaker_schedule>  We will continue
to have an online presentation (almost) every Wednesday until it is prudent
for us to resume meeting in person.*

*Acoustic Detection & Localization of an Active Shooter or Sniper*
presented by Tony Galaitsis
Deranged shooters and terrorist or enemy snipers have been a concern for a
long time. Technological advances over the past few decades have used
gunfire acoustic information to detect and localize active shooters and
snipers in order to prevent or minimize their deadly impact. This
presentation reviews the general state of acoustic shooter/sniper detection
and localization, based on publicly available information found on the
internet (YouTube videos, Wikipedia, manufacturer brochures, and published
papers/patents) and some basic geometry. yes
Dec 23, 2020 Vacation - Enjoy the holidays!




*On Dec 30, Career stories (update). People with careers during which
interesting (and now unclassified) things have happened. Mistakes made,
lessons learned. Many of the members of our club have technical and
scientific backgrounds. Some may be interested in presenting to the group
important experiments or other developments in their field. For example, in
Jerry Slate's field of pulmonary disease, the development of the Pneumatic
Trough by the Rev. Stephen Hales (1677 – 1761) enabled Joseph Priestley
(1733 – 1804) to discover oxygen. The struggle of scientists at that time
to understand the fundamentals of matter makes an interesting story. Would
YOU like to participate?  John Rudy coordinating. For info or to let John
know, email us at info at LCTG.toku.us <info at LCTG.toku.us> so far, have: Bill
Haley, Dan Kleppner, Dick Wagner, George Burnell, Mike Alexander, Smita
Desai, hopefully Carl Lazarus There is room for one or two others – are you
interested? *
