An Automatic Aerating Device for Aquaria

An input device for the Harvard automatic dictionary

A standard input device has been adapted to permit transcription of either Roman or Cyrillic characters, or a mixture of both, directly onto magnetic tape. The modified unit produces hard copy suitable for proofreading, and records information in a coding system well adapted to processing by a central computer. The coding system and the necessary physical modifications are both described. The d...

An Approach for Automatic Matching of Descriptive Addresses

Address matching (also called geocoding) is an applied spatial analysis which is frequently used in everyday life. Almost all desktop and web-based GIS environments are equipped with a module to match the addresses expressed in pre-defined standard formats on the map. It is an essential prerequisite for many of the functionalities provided by location-based services (e.g. car navigation). Sever...

CO2 in Planted Aquaria

CO2 is beyond comparison the most important of all plant nutrients. Without sufficient CO2, plants cannot photosynthesize and convert into energy-rich sugars, starch and all the other carbon-containing molecules that constitute a plant. It may seem odd to look at CO2 as a plant nutrient. When growing terrestrial plants, we are used to providing light, water and nutrients, but never CO2. is art...

An Automatic Fingerprint Classification Algorithm

Manual fingerprint classification algorithms are very time consuming, and usually not accurate. Fast and accurate fingerprint classification is essential to each AFIS (Automatic Fingerprint Identification System). This paper investigates a fingerprint classification algorithm that reduces the complexity and costs associated with the fingerprint identification procedure. A new structural algorit...
