	The Bat Ultrasonic Location System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		A short pulse of ultrasound is emitted from a transmitter (a Bat) attached to the object to be located, and we measure the times-of-flight of the pulse to receivers mounted at known points on the ceiling.
		Bats measure 7.5cm x 3.5cm x 1.5 cm, and are powered by a single 3.6V Lithium Thionyl Chloride cell, which has a lifetime of around fifteen months.
		Bats have two buttons, two LEDs and a piezo speaker, allowing them to be used as ubiquitous input and output devices, and a voltage monitor that allows their battery status to be interrogated remotely.

		If the Active Bat is worn, then the location of the wearer can be calculated by measuring time-of-flight of an ultrasonic pulse from the Bat to an array of ceiling receivers.
		The Bat emits ultrasonic signals when requested by a central controller, and the time-of-flight of the ultrasonic pulses is detected by a number of receivers mounted in the ceiling.
		Inside the Active Bat, the main components are the AA-sized battery (white), the radio transmitter (gold) and receiver (hidden), and the antennas (copper).

		Habitat loss and in some instances persecution born of human ignorance about the true nature of bats are major causes of the bat decline in Britain; farm and garden insecticides are almost certainly another key factor.
		Although they are not blind, as some people may believe, insectivorous bats use echolocation to avoid obstructions when flying in the dark and to find their way to and from their roosts, and to home in on their prey.
		Bats usually have just a single offspring each year, and depending on species they can live for up to 20 and exceptionally 30 years.

	Letter to K. Clarke - Re: BAT and cigarette smuggling (ASH UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		BAT itself has now adopted a more considered approach by engaging two law firms Cravath, Swaine and More, and Allen and Overy to look at a BAT's business practices and whether it did (and continues to) move beyond knowledge of smuggling and engage in controlling actions - as the documents clearly suggest.
		My reading of this is that BAT can decide exactly when and where to have its products smuggled by supplying the wholesalers and feeding products into the transit routes that the company knows supply the smugglers.
		It is quite clear from the documents that BAT has used a small legal operation as cover for advertising aimed at stimulating sales in the illegal market - so-called 'umbrella operations'.

	Making a place for bats
		Bats are mammals that give birth to live young, which are nursed by their mothers just as human infants are.
		Bats use echolocation to find food, emitting sounds that bounce off flying objects, like insects, to tell the bat where the food is. All of Pennsylvania's bats are insectivorous, consuming moths, grasshoppers, mosquitoes and beetles.
		Pennsylvania has had an active bat research and management program in the Game Commission's Bureau of Wildlife Management since 1980, and has cataloged more than 1,000 caves and 4,122 abandoned coal and limestone mines as potential bat roosting locations.

	Forest Watch -- Forest Watch's Notice of Intent Re: Indiana Bats
		Because migratory Indiana bats are known to travel hundreds of miles between their winter and summer habitats, it is likely that some of these bats fly to the Green Mountain National Forest to roost, forage and raise their young in the summer.
		Active and planned timber sales and roadbuilding activities could adversely affect the Indiana bat by removing actual or potential roost trees, affecting microclimate around roost trees, and affecting the ability of riparian and upland forest areas to produce favored food supplies.
		Felling of mature trees during the period when Indiana bats are roosting in trees increases the risk of killing the roosting bats and increases the risk of stressing pregnant bats or nursing female bats and juveniles at times when their energy reserves are low.

		The research described in this proposal utilizes the echolocating bat as a model system for the study of auditory localization, with particular emphasis on the coordinated operation between perception and action for the representation of three-dimensional space.
		The echolocating bat produces ultrasonic vocalizations and uses information contained in the returning echoes to determine the direction and distance of objects in space.
		Furthermore, the bat's motor control over the information extracted from three-dimensional space presents a special opportunity to examine and develop models of action and perception that bridge work in audition and vision.

	SD Bat Projects
		Studies concerning the status of bat populations in the area are critical; of the eight species thought to occur in South Dakota, one is Federally listed as Threatened/Endangered, while four others are being monitored by the State (including two that occur in eastern South Dakota).
		Alternatively, acoustic sampling has effectively identified bats in other regions of the county (Betts, 1998), therefore, I utilizd the ANABAT system to determine what bats are present in eastern South Dakota and to determine the current distribution of resident bats.
		This incomplete data on eastern South Dakotan bats may be related to their wide distribution and low abundance, which is limited by the availability of suitable roosts (Humphrey, 1975).
