We report on an integrated Hartmann wavefront sensor (WFS) using passive-pixel architecture and pixels clustered as position-sensitive detectors for dynamic wavefront analysis. Such a device detects the degrees of imperfection (aberrations) of a light beam by measuring the deviation of the incoming wavefront from a reference one. It can be employed either as a diagnostic tool, or in close loop ...

Generating "views" over reference ontologies allows them to be customized for use within specific application contexts. In this project we investigated the operations necessary to generate one such custom ontology view. We catalogued the involved operations as a first step in defining the requirements of a formal view definition language.

Site-specific recombinases are valuable tools for myriad basic research and genome engineering applications. In particular, hybrid recombinases consisting of catalytic domains from the resolvase/invertase family of serine recombinases fused to Cys2-His2 zinc-finger or TAL effector DNA-binding domains are capable of introducing targeted modifications into mammalian cells. Due to their inherent m...

The past 30 years have seen an enormous growth in the power and sophistication of digital design tools, while progress in analog tools has been much more modest. Digital tools use many abstractions to allow them to validate implementations match the functional models, and the composition of cells matches the composition of the functional models. While there are many reasons why this is more dif...

In this work we customized the RUP process with Scrum practices, and proposed a differentiate traceability matrix, applying in a small company. The experimental results show that our customization can be adopted as an alternative to a systematic and less-intrusive process. Keywords— Software Development Process, Scrum, RUP

Information Visualization tools have simplified visualization development. Some tools help simple users construct standard visualizations; others help programmers develop custom visualizations. This thesis contributes to the field of Information Visualization and End-User Development. The first contribution of the thesis is a taxonomy for Information Visualization development tools. Existing ta...

The Custom Chip/Card Design System (CCDS) is a set of software applications, tied together via a common data interchange, that is used for the design, analysis, and checking of custom electronic circuits. CCDs is intended to unite the separate electrical, logical, and physical design phases into a single design process. The underlying principle of the system rests on the idea of describing the ...

0740-7475/00/$10.00 © 2000 IEEE October–December 2000 DESIGN IS AN ITERATION of specification and implementation phases, performed either top-down or bottom-up before resulting in a product. Validation is performed at each of these design phases until the final manufacturing stage. Correctness of an implementation is not an autonomous concept, but rather a relation between a specification and a...
