Teaching children with autism requires special set of tools and methods, due to decreased level of attention towards stimuli presented and lessened capability to learn in the ways typical children do, which is manifested within this population. It has been previously shown that computer-assisted intervention is not only an effective method for developing various skills, allowing both learning w...

In this paper, we introduce a simple but effective method in order to remove haze in foggy images. We name it as dark pixel detection. Dark pixel is the pixel in haze-free images with values in all of the RGB colour channels close to zero. With this method, we can effectively estimate the thickness of the haze and recover a vivid haze-free scene even when the scene object is inherently similar ...

Controlled amount of jitter injection into high speed serial bit stream is required for SerDes jitter tolerance test. While jitter injection by Direct Time Synthesis can be a much more cost effective method than a combination of several instruments, it is not widely used yet. Considering its high potential in high volume production test cost reduction, we have studied the basics of the jitter i...

Tuned vibration neutralisers and absorbers provide an effective method of attenuating tonal vibration within a structure. If the frequency of the tonal vibration alters, then an adaptive tuned vibration neutraliser or absorber can be utilised to track and adapt to changes in the frequency of the source vibration. This paper provides an overview of some of the issues associated with the developm...
