...engineering. They test the signals coming from a patient's heart for the type of electrical problem that responds to defibrillation, and they're smart enough not to deliver a shock unless they find the right signal, thus preventing accidental discharge. Although untrained passersby have successfully used AEDs, the ideal user is someone who has undergone a four-hour training course on how to give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and operate an AED. CPR by itself does not usually revive someone in cardiac arrest, but it can keep a person alive for the critical extra few moments needed to locate...
...millions of users to migrate, especially since Hutchison handsets are expected to begin retailing for as much as $800. "Video calls make great demos, but I'm skeptical," Clark says. "Companies are looking to cut costs. And lots of consumers use mobile phones while walking or driving, not the ideal environment." Japan's NTT DoCoMo has learned that lesson all too painfully. A year after launching the world's first 3G network, only 0.3% of DoCoMo's 42.3 million subscribers have migrated to 3G services...

Rational to the point of detachment, yet endowed with the seeds of a turbulent inner life, he's an ideal if slightly tiresome mouthpiece for Jin's realist voice. When his mentor, Professor Yang, suffers an "unsettling" stroke, Jian dutifully cares for him but worries that the job will interfere with his upcoming exams. Unlike his passionate professor, who suffered in the Cultural Revolution for declaring that Goethe was a great poet, Jian barely cares for literature, studying only...
...Southeast Asian and Australian arm, has been by far the most active. The countries that took it least seriously until the Bali bombings?Indonesia, Australia and Thailand?are precisely where JI has had most freedom of movement. It's not hard to deduce why Bali struck JI as an ideal target. After all, JI was more constrained in mounting an operation in Singapore and Malaysia, thanks to the arrest of operatives there, the seizure of assets and heightened security. In Australia, JI cells were almost all support and not combat units. In Thailand, important JI functionaries were present. In Indonesia...
