Adapting Off-the-Shelf Speech Recognition Systems for Novel Words

TMR For Off–The–Shelf Unix Systems

This paper presents a concept study that demonstrates a transparent (non–intrusive to the application or the kernel) active replication and TMR–based fault tolerance in PC/Linux platforms. The target platform is the low–cost clusters of PCs that are increasingly more often found in the budget–oriented internet service industry. The solution we adopted is based on two ideas: 1) intercepting syst...

Stable, robust and off-the-shelf methods for graphics recognition

We claim that time has come in graphics recognition for choosing stable and robust methods, even—or especially— when this means implementing methods proposed by others, instead of inventing a new algorithm which ends up being a minor variation on an old idea. In this spirit, we present some of the choices our own team has made.

Commercial-off-the-shelf Microelectromechanical Systems

Research and evelopment of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) has hown a significant promise for a variety of commercial applications. For example, accelerometers are widely used for air bag in automobile, MEMS inkjet print heads re used for printers, gyroscopes for guidance and navigation and pressure sensors for various industrial applications. Some of the MEMS devices have potential to be...
