Open-Source Designs for Distributed Manufacturing of Low-Cost Customized Walkers

The Source Of Cost Advantage In Selected INDIAN Manufacturing Industries

Open source data logger for low-cost environmental monitoring

The increasing transformation of biodiversity into a data-intensive science has seen numerous independent systems linked and aggregated into the current landscape of biodiversity informatics. This paper outlines how we can move forward with this programme, incorporating real time environmental monitoring into our methodology using low-power and low-cost computing platforms.

Towards Open-Source, Low-Cost Haptics for Surgery Simulation

In minimally invasive surgery (MIS), virtual reality (VR) training systems have become a promising education tool. However, the adoption of these systems in research and clinical settings is still limited by the high costs of dedicated haptics hardware for MIS. In this paper, we present ongoing research towards an open-source, low-cost haptic interface for MIS simulation. We demonstrate the bas...

Reversible Logic Multipliers: Novel Low-cost Parity-Preserving Designs

Reversible logic is one of the new paradigms for power optimization that can be used instead of the current circuits. Moreover, the fault-tolerance capability in the form of error detection or error correction is a vital aspect for current processing systems. In this paper, as the multiplication is an important operation in computing systems, some novel reversible multiplier designs are propose...

Open-Source Textbooks: Infrastructure for Customized Learning Materials

Writing a good textbook is akin to writing a useful software package. Both are highly creative endeavors that require a combination of sharp technical skills and artful design. In recent years, the software community has developed the open-source approach to software construction, in which improved results are obtained by sharing the talents of multiple developers. We propose to extend these id...
