In this paper we describe the importance of preserving personal information, stored on pervasive devices, on a reliable platform. Nowadays, pervasive devices such as mobile phones or personal multimedia players, provide software and hardware capabilities that allow individuals to read and create digital contents. Therefore it is important to provide the ability to archive these contents for lat...

This paper describes Thumbcode, a device-independent digital sign language. We list and discuss requirements, then describe Thumbcode and explain how it meets these requirements. We propose several approaches to the machine recognition of Thumbcode, and conclude with a brief discussion of potential ergonomic health issues.

For the past six years, Digital Light Processing technology from Texas Instruments has made significant inroads in the projection display market. With products enabling the world’s smallest data and video projectors, HDTVs, and digital cinema, DLP technology is extremely powerful and flexible. At the heart of these display solutions is Texas Instruments Digital Micromirror Device (DMD), a semic...

A digital microfluidic architecture is introduced for micron-scale localized fluid actuation and in in-situ optical sensing. Contemporary device integration challenges related to localization and device scalability are overcome through the introduction of a bi-layered digital microfluidic multiplexer. Trinary inputs are applied through differential combinations of voltage signals between upper ...

Why do we need color management? Why do we have a problem with matching and controlling colors in digital imaging? Why can’t we just scan a picture, look at it on the screen, and print it out and have the color match throughout? The answer is that every imaging device has its own particular characteristics. Color imaging will only produce accurate results if we take into account the personal ch...

Digital imaging is a rapid growing area with the developments in computer technology. Digital color use has become a conventional tool in many disciplines, such as cartography remote sensing and photogrammetry. The need for better color quality enforces digital imaging industry to produce devices with less color distortions. Despite the today’s advanced level of technology, it is known that inp...

Due to the numerous complicating factors in the field of small scale digital device forensics, physical acquisition of the storage of such devices is often not possible (at least not without destroying the device). As an alternative, forensic examiners often gather digital evidence from small scale digital devices through logical acquisition. This paper focuses on analyzing the backup file gene...

introduction: vertical root fracture (vrf) is a complication which is chiefly diagnosed radiographically. recently, film-based radiography has been substituted with digital radiography. at the moment, there is a wide range of monitors available in the market for viewing digital images. the present study aims to compare the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of medical and conventi...

Using various digital devices, and being faced with interruptions is a given for students not only in traditional university classes but also blended learning courses. Hence, this study (N = 201) at an Austrian of applied sciences investigated students’ perceptions device use the that they face during webinars on-campus sessions. Results show primarily same types devices sessions, i.e., compute...
