Trademarks

Trademarks

• References to commercial equipment or products in
  a standard shall be generic and shall not include
  trademarks or other proprietary designations.
• When a sole source exists for essential equipment
  or materials, it is permissible to supply the
  name of the trademark owner in a footnote.
• The proper use guidelines for trademarks shall be
  determined by the trademark owner.
• Trademark owners must grant written permission
  before their trademarks may be referenced in a
  standard.

Schemas and Placeholders

• Until locations are assigned for the schemas that
  are to be posted to the IEEE site, please use
  placeholders.
• Please see 10.4.4 of 2005 Style Manual

Section 3 - Definitions

• Only define terms in Section 3 that are NOT
  already defined in IEEE-100
• Should you need to include the IEEE-100
  Definition, either in part or in its entirety,
  these are placed in a Annex titled Glossary
• Note The Bibliography Annex MUST either be the
  first or last Annex.
• The instructions for using the IEEE template say
  to select all of the definitions before numbering
  section 3. This is incorrect, select each
  definition individually.

Electronic Art

• The following guidelines should be followed when
  preparing electronic art
• Consistent typographical specifications for text
  notations (captions) used in artwork should be
  used. The IEEE Standards Department requires True
  Type fonts (Times New Roman or Arial) for
  captions, preferably in 8-point type size. In no
  case should captions be in a font smaller than 6
  points or in a font other than the True Type
  fonts listed previously. All capital letters or
  mixed uppercase and lowercase letters may be
  used, depending on the amount of text, as long as
  the presentation is consistent throughout the
  document. Letter symbols not normally capitalized
  shall always be lowercase.
• Figures should be created originally in a
  graphics program. Figures created in programs
  that do not support vector illustrations may
  result in bit-mapped graphics or graphics that do
  not translate well into other applications. The
  graphics may not scale appropriately or retain
  their quality.
• A separate electronic file should be created for
  each figure in a document and named in
  correspondence to the figure number (e.g.,
  FIG1.TIF). Multiple figures under a single figure
  number (e.g., Figure 2a and Figure 2b) should be
  saved as separate files with corresponding names
  (e.g., FIG2A.TIF, FIG2B.TIF). Although saved as
  separate files, they should be submitted to the
  IEEE on a single disk, or CD-ROM, or as a single
  compressed file.

Electronic Art (cont)

• Graphics files created in a graphic program
  should be saved as black and white (at 300 dpi)
  or gray scale (at 150 dpi) in one of the
  following formats Encapsulated PostScript (EPS),
  Tagged Image File Format (TIFF), or Windows
  Metafile Format (WMF). All fonts shall be
  embedded in the figures and all elements within a
  figure must be grouped. If the document is a
  FrameMaker file, the FrameMaker graphics editor
  can be used for simple line drawings and TIFF
  versions do not need to be submitted. If the
  working group is unsure of how a graphic file was
  created, a TIFF version of the file should be
  submitted. Figure files that do not comply with
  the requirements stated in this clause may be
  converted to TIFF, which will result in a bit
  mapped version of the figure. If the working
  group cannot provide graphics in these formats or
  would like to inquire about other possible
  formats that may be used, please contact an IEEE
  Standards project editor.
• Whenever possible, original art files (from the
  graphics programs used) should also be submitted
  to the IEEE. The original art files should be
  grouped separately from those saved in the
  formats listed previously. All original art files
  will be archived for the working group but will
  not be used during the publication process.
• Although the IEEE requires that figures are
  embedded in the draft for the purposes of the
  ballot, separate files also shall be submitted
  for publication purposes.

Electronic Art (cont)
Working groups shall obtain permission to use any
figure taken from another source, including from
a manufacturer, preferably prior to using it in a
draft standard. A figure shall be labeled by the
word Figure followed by a number, a dash, and a
concise title as exemplified in Figure 4.
