This paper presents a low-cost microcontroller-based data acquisition device. The key component of the presented solution is a configurable microcontroller-based device with an integrated USB transceiver and a 12-bit analogue-to-digital converter (ADC). The presented embedded DAQ device contains a preloaded program (firmware) that enables easy acquisition and generation of analogue and digital ...

orthopantomography is a well-established imaging technique in dental diagnosis. although its exposure to individuals is relatively low compared to other diagnostic radiology examinations, it is still the most frequent x-ray examination. so it is important to estimate absorbed dose to critical organs in this examination. the present study was designed to determine the radiation doses to eyes, pa...

Despite the growing popularity of digital imaging devices, the problem of accurately estimating the spatial frequency response or optical transfer function (OTF) of these devices has been largely neglected. Traditional methods for estimating OTFs were designed for film cameras and other devices that form continuous images. These traditional techniques do not provide accurate OTF estimates for t...

Nowadays the investigations are becoming more difficult than in the past due to the complexity of the scene of crime and the implication that the technology has in this new environment. This article describes a new technique called “Digital Profiling”. The technique is an investigative method of computer forensics that offers a new prospective for analyzing digital memories of electronic device...

We present a novel device employing one million femtoliter droplets immobilized on a substrate for the quantitative detection of extremely low concentrations of biomolecules in a sample. Surface-modified polystyrene beads carrying either zero or a single biomolecule-reporter enzyme complex are efficiently isolated into femtoliter droplets formed on hydrophilic-in-hydrophobic surfaces. Using a c...
