The vehicle fleet of public transportation companies is often equipped with intelligent on-board passenger information systems. A frequently used but time and labor-intensive way for keeping the on-board controllers up-to-date is the manual update using different memory cards (e.g. flash cards) or portable computers. This paper describes a compression algorithm that enables data transmission us...

The problem considered in this paper is the fully automatic construction of panoramas. Fundamentally, this problem requires recognition, as we need to know which parts of the panorama join up. Previous approaches have used human input or restrictions on the image sequence for the matching step. In this work we use object recognition techniques based on invariant local features to select matchin...

This article is based on CMOS image sensor which is commonly used in image acquisition. It applies 32-bit ARM9 microprocessor S3C2410A as the CPU to control other function modules and designs embedded Arm9 image acquisition system for the realization of machine vision. The main function modules are SDRAM memory cell, image acquisition unit and Ethernet transmission module, UART serial port comm...

hot flash is among the most common complaints of menopausal women, affecting their career, social activities and quality of life. this study aimed to investigate the effects of valerian on hot flashes in menopausal women. in this double blind clinical trial, 68 menopausal women with the chief complaint of hot flash were enrolled using sampling at hand and were randomly divided into drug and pla...

damental goal—is maximizing long-term retention and transfer. Toward achieving that goal, one key manipulation is to induce the retrieval of to-be-learned information, which has been shown in many studies to enhance later recall more than does providing additional study trials (e.g., Roediger & Karpicke, 2006). Thus, in the domain of language learning, for example, students’ frequent use of fla...

This paper describes a free filesystem for external flash memory to be employed with low-complexity sensor nodes. The system uses a standard secure digital (SD) card that can be easily connected to the serial port interface (SPI) or any general input/output port of the sensor’s processor. The filesystem is evaluated with SDcards used in SPI mode and achieves an average random write throughput o...

In this article, a methodology to extract Flash EEPROM memory contents is presented. Samples are first backside prepared to expose the tunnel oxide of floating gate transistors. Then, a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) in the so called Passive Voltage Contrast (PVC) mode allows distinguishing ‘0’ and ‘1’ bit values stored in individual memory cell. Using SEM operator-free acquisition and stan...

We present a Web-based French-language educational-software tool, French e-Flash Card (FFC), authored using our Intensional Markup Language (IML). The FFC site is interactive and dynamic and incorporates AI for French language grammar. These special features, lacking in most language educational tools (which are typically language-independent), are made possible by IML, which allows rule-based ...

Speaking skills are one of the language that must be mastered by students, including elementary school (SD) students. This skill always honed, especially students who have specific learning difficulties, so can play an active role in communicating. Therefore, it is necessary to good stimulation improve speaking Flashcard media used as a medium students' skills. The method this research literatu...
