Authentication is an important part of the voting process, both for the voting system authenticating the human as a legitimate voter without sacrificing secret balloting, and for the voter authenticating the vote recorder. Voters want the capability to vote remotely, but this makes both directions of authentication more difficult. Human factors are a crucial part of the authentication process. ...

Automobile event data recorders (EDRs) provide vital information for reconstructing traffic crashes. This paper examines the primary issues related to evidence recovery from EDRs and its use in crash reconstruction. Recommendations related to the use of EDR data in court proceedings are also presented.

In 2010, FUJIFILM introduced “ETERNA-RDS” that is a black and white film used for archiving from color digital masters. ETERNA-RDS is the first film stock in the world designed especially for a digital separation workflow using a film recorder. ETERNA-RDS offers a significant improvement over conventional non-specific separation film stock, accurate gradation linearity, improved granularity, su...

A 76-year-old woman with a history of hypertension and mastectomy for breast carcinoma was referred for evaluation of recurrent syncope. She characterized a typical episode as a sudden loss of consciousness without a prodrome. There was no sensation of fatigue after the events. Her medical regimen consisted of amlodipine and a hydrochlorothiazide/triamterene combination. Results of physical exa...

We developed a remote video escapement recording system to enumerate adult salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) as they enter their natal streams to spawn. The system is small, relatively lightweight, easily deployed, and operates under its own solar, wind, or hydrogenerated power, depending on site characteristics. In 1999 we deployed a remote video escapement recorder on Delight Creek, the outlet of a ...

Nowadays space applications are provided with a processing power absolutely overcoming the one available just a few years ago. Typical mission-critical space system applications include also the issue of solid-state recorder(s). Flash-memories are nonvolatile, shock-resistant and power-economic, but in turn have different drawbacks. A solid-state recorder for space applications should satisfy m...

A portable digital recorder with event-triggering capability has been designed, and four have been constructed and field tested. The design was based on that used for over 2 years in ocean bottom seismic capsules. The outputs of as many as four seismometers are amplified, filtered, and digitized continuously at 64, 128,256, or 512 total samples per secdnd. The digital data are mixed with a time...

In order to test a newly developed algorithm for detecting atrial fibrillation in clinical practice, we carried out parallel recordings using a conventional 24-h electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor and telemonitoring with an external loop recorder. Recordings were made in 24 patients with persistent atrial fibrillation and in another 24 patients with sinus rhythm. Atrial fibrillation was detected i...

Flight Data Recorders produce data that is stored on an embedded memory device. A widespread problem with these devices is that the embedded memory device runs out of space. The concern of getting to this problematic situation causes the software of the flight data recorder to work in a careful manner it constantly makes efforts to minimize the used memory space; otherwise a larger flight data ...
