The Minnesota Code is the most widely used electrocardiogram (ECG) classification system for epidemiologic studies and has been incorporated into several Computer algorithms. The authors compared the Modular ECG Analysis System (MC-MEANS) and NOVACODE computer ECG findings with the Visual coding standard for agreement and prognostic associations with coronary heart disease (CHD) events occurrin...

We are interested in a functional account of how capacity constrains memory use in natural, ongoing behaviors, and in how visual memory demands can be reduced through the use of what we have called perceptual pointers, or deictic codes. Here, we ask whether, with experience, participants can restructure task representations such that single fixations can point to more and more complex chunks of...

Night vision goggles (NVGs) are becoming an increasingly important tool in military aviation. They provide superior visual capability over unaided night vision, but any reduction in goggle performance can have a serious effect on flight safety and operational effectiveness. This study shows that the use of the ANV 20/20 focusing aid provides an effective method for aircrew to obtain a better vi...

Visual word identification requires readers to code the identity and order of the letters in a word and match this code against previously learned codes. Current models of this lexical matching process posit context-specific letter codes in which letter representations are tied to either specific serial positions or specific local contexts (e.g., letter clusters). The spatial coding model descr...

With the continued proliferation of smart mobile devices, Quick Response (QR) code has become one of the mostused types of two-dimensional code in the world. Aiming at beautifying the appearance of QR codes, existing works have developed a series of techniques to make the QR code more visual-pleasant. However, these works still leave much to be desired, such as visual diversity, aesthetic quali...
