Federal Women's Program Awards
Glenn's Women's Advisory Group presented the 2007 Federal Women's Program Awards during the Women's Month Celebration on March 28. The award honors two male or female civil servants--supervisor and nonsupervisor categories--who make outstanding contributions to the advancement of women at Glenn. The award is based on abilities in leadership, setting and pursuing goals, self-motivation and membership in organizations. Cynthia Calhoun, chief of the Assurance and Risk Management Branch, received the supervisory award. She was nominated by Jennifer Jones, ALPH/NASA Safety Center. Carol Ginty, Vehicle Systems Project Office, received the nonsupervisory award. She was nominated by Barbara Kakiris, ANLX/Vehicle Systems Project Office.

Patent Issued
 | | Dr. Manning |
Dr. Robert Manning, Communications Division, was issued a United States Patent for his invention titled, "Real-Time Signal-to-Noise Ratio Estimation for BPSK and QPSK Modulation Using the Active Communications Channel." This invention discloses a mathematical method and associated algorithm to estimate signal-to-noise ratio on an active communications channel carrying binary phase shift keying (BPSK) or quadrature phase Shift Keying (QPSK) modulation. Manning's patented technique alleviates the need for additional equipment such as a separate satellite beacon and ground station receiver, to assess the quality of a communication channel.
