Results show that the maximal range of different beacons varies between about 25 and 100 m.

In contrast to the existing literature on MSL in particular, both formulations are capable of reflecting the likely scenario in which sources or agents are not always in range of stations or beacons.
Coordination of devices within radio range is achieved by the exchange of beacon frames.
The distance at which the signals could be detected was limited, and the four-course beacons were replaced by VOR (very-high-frequency omnidirectional range), the beacons of which operated on an entirely different principle.
My family runs a hotel - the Nant Ddu Lodge - in the Brecon Beacons mountain range of mid-Wales.
Hairpin DNA sequences are widely used as probes for oligonucleotides in a broad range of assays, often as "molecular beacons".
They will move slowly, at 70cm a minute, with the position of one bed determining that of the other, controlled by a range of navigational systems including radio beacons in the gallery ceiling, and a laser which sweeps the gallery floor to detect obstacles.
When vehicle B enters the communication range of vehicle A, the latter receives beacon message and predicts the distance travelled by the vehicle B and the relative speed, by using Kalman filter.
That fact, the size of the search area up to now (still some 216,000 sq km, or 84,000 sq miles), and the limited range of the signals from "black box" beacons, have all added to the doubts of sceptics that any of the searching vessels could, in effect, stumble on a contact without other clues.
Given Flight QZ8501 crashed in shallow seas, experts say finding the boxes should not be difficult if the beacons, with a range of 2,000 to 3,000 meters (6,560 to 9,800 ft), are working.
