Single-inductor multi-input multi-output (SI-MIMO) dc-dc converters are attractive in the engineering applications due to advantage of high power density and low cost. In order explore as many possible SI-MIMO topologies, this article proposes a simple effective topology derivation principle that only requires three steps. First, basic cells consisting single inductor multiple sets unidirection...

In order to improve the functionality of multi-touch devices, the possibility of using them as input devices for other computers needs to be reviewed. The idea is, to get rid of many different peripherals (e.g. keyboard, mouse, multi-touch pad) by using a single multi-touch display. Furthermore the display can be used as an additional monitor to show for example toolbars, which can be directly ...

Geometry acquisition of real-world objects by means of 3D scanning or stereo reconstruction constitutes a very important and challenging problem in computer vision. 3D scanners and stereo algorithms usually provide geometry from one viewpoint only, and several of the these scans need to be merged into one consistent representation. Scanner data generally has lower noise levels than stereo metho...
