Bruce Lusignan (born 1936)〔 〕 is an emeritus〔 professor of electrical engineering at Stanford University〔 〕〔 〕 and a visiting professor at Portland State University.〔 〕 He earned his B.S.E.E ('58), M.S.E.E. ('59) and Ph.D. ('63) degrees from Stanford.〔 In the early 1960s, he worked in radio astronomy at Stanford.〔 〕 He has been director of Stanford's Communication Satellite Planning Center〔 〕 and Stanford's Center for International Cooperation in Space.〔 He has also owned a small company designing cellular phones and pagers.〔 〕 His areas of specialization are communications satellites, telephone switches, cellular networks and the related signal processing problems.〔 He is inventor or co-inventor on 16 patents, including devices for metering power,〔 〕 RF signal reception,〔 〕 satellite transceivers,〔 〕 alarm systems for cellular base stations,〔 〕 tone generators for telephony,〔 〕 and VSAT terminals.〔 〕 He has worked on designs for reusable launch vehicles〔 based on the Black Horse concept. and has helped direct planning efforts for international cooperation on Mars exploration with the then-Soviet Union.〔〔 〕〔 〕 He led later post-Soviet cooperation in planning for an international Mars mission that included a space logistics function for ICBMs: using missiles such as the SS-18 to pre-position fuel and other supplies in Earth orbit, and Russia's Energia booster to send the supplies to Mars ahead of the crew.〔 〕 Lusignan also takes a strong interest in the politics and issues that arise in economic development,〔 including sustainable development in Africa,〔 earthquake relief and reconstruction in Peru,〔 〕 and rural telecommunications in the Middle East.〔 〕 For a number of years he ran EDGE – "Ethics of Development in a Global Environment"〔 〕 – a weekly seminar at Stanford about issues in international conflict, trade, environmental sustainability, and amelioration of poverty and racism.〔 〕〔 In 1982, he was one of a number of professors who, with the support of their institutions, openly defied restrictions on use of otherwise-publicly available materials rationalized via the Arms Export Control Act.〔 〕 == References == 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bruce Lusignan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
