An Inflection Point The tablet PC should provide the inflection point, the technological break that will provide the combination of portability and screen space required for real-life clinical use. Unlike a laptop, it can be held in one’s arm like the metal jacket of a patient chart, with data entered with a penlike device. This completely replicates the mode of data collection physicians have ...

We present a novel technology to support playful rehabilitation of arm-hand performance for stroke survivors. The system combines tangible tabletop interaction with wearable technology, to encourage stroke patients to train their arm-hand skills in a task-oriented manner, while a jacket supporting tilt-sensing and vibrotactile feedback guides patients regarding the correct execution of exercise...

The 'blurb' on the dust jacket to this volume states 'there is a mass of confused fact and myth about drugs'. In his introduction Herbert Berger points out that 'communication begins with words and words only bring understanding if their meanings are the same for all who use them'. These two truisms make it imperative that all workers in the emotionally-charged and mythridden field of drug abus...

order Reed-Muller code guaranteeing correction of up to •un/4 sin(p-1/2 pƒÎ)•v errors and having complexity proportional to nlogn, where n=pm is the code length and p is an odd prime. This algorithm is an extension in the complex domain of the fast Hadamard transform decoding algorithm applicable to the binary case. key words: p-ary first-order Reed-Muller codes, decoding algorithms, Jacket matrix

Abstract This paper considers the generaI properties of a jacket consisting of two closely spaced, but curved, conducting plates separated by a medium of uniform isotropic permeability and nonuniform isotropic permittivity for propagating dispersionless TEM waves. A simple form of this is a body of revolution with generalized axial propagation (generalizti coax) which can be synthesized with a ...

The resulted matrix shows that ...

This paper describes a dynamic locating system implemented in an autonomous wearable computing system for the automobile warehouse management application. Since the first prototype is developed as jacket [1], this prototype is miniaturized and therefore realized as holster which consists of several modules for identification, communication and localization. It is worn by employees during wareho...

This paper describes the design and implementation of a model of how to integrate sensors and devices into a GRID infrastructure. We describe its proxy-based approach, the port-type requirements and the set of tools implemented to facilitate configuration of experimental scenarios. Two real world devices, a wearable medical jacket and an Antarctic lake probe, deployed out in the field using thi...

Modern engines are cooled by complex air and liquid cooling systems that manage the flow of high temperature air, gases and coolants, and house critical thermal management components. Plastics, many supplied by DuPont, are playing an increasingly important role in key cooling system parts including thermostat and heater housings, outlet and inlet ports, valves, cross-overs, coolant pumps, water...

The importance of developing innovative support structure for underground mines has drawn much attention with the depletion shallow resources. This paper presents a hybrid tubular standing consisting an exterior container made polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) while infill is coal rejects based backfill material. FRP jacket featured high strength-to-weight ratio attach...
