Efficient data collection with software and hardware features from Agilent Technologies

Synchronous data collection from diverse hardware

We describe an accurate distributed timestamp service. This open-source C++ package runs on commodity PC’s. With no extra hardware, the service correlates sensor data (headand eye-trackers, biometrics, captured video, driving simulator data) from multiple PC’s with sub-millisecond accuracy. PC-driven actuators like motion bases and audio/visual/haptic warning systems are also controlled with th...

Data Collection and Language Technologies for Mapudungun

Mapudungun is spoken by over 900,000 people (Mapuche) in Chile and Argentina. Thanks to an active bilingual and multicultural education program, Mapuche children are now being taught to be literate in both Mapudungun and Spanish. The Chilean Ministry of Education has teamed up with the Language Technologies Institute’s AVENUE project to collect data and produce language technologies that suppor...

Data Collection Technologies – Past, Present, and Future

Over the past few decades, a succession of innovative technologies has revolutionized the surveying industry in the United States. The advent of technological breakthroughs, primarily Computers, GPS, and Internet, have brought about major leaps in the data collection technologies. This paper will document the past, present, and future data collection technologies and their application in the ar...

Software/Hardware Co-Design of Efficient and Secure Cryptographic Hardware

Most cryptographic systems are based on the modular exponentiation to perform the non-linear scrambling operation of data. It is performed using successive modular multiplications, which are time consuming for large operands. Accelerating cryptography needs optimising the time consumed by a single modular multiplication and/or reducing the total number of modular multiplications performed. Usin...
