Henderson byte: Galvani and Volta

The Volta Review Alexander Graham

The bicentennial of the Voltaic battery (1800-2000): the artificial electric organ.

Alessandro Volta invented the electric battery at the end of 1799 and communicated his invention to the Royal Society of London in 1800. The studies that led him to develop this revolutionary device began in 1792, after Volta read the work of Luigi Galvani on the existence of an intrinsic electricity in living organisms. During these studies, Volta obtained a series of results of great physiolo...

PACS images can be treated byte by byte

Our PACS project at the University Hospitals Leuven in Belgium radically follows from an overall IT perspective. The emphasis on image flow throughout the entire hospital supersedes operations within the image-generating departments. Image management outside the radiology department is not an afterthought, but rather an integral part in, and even a driving factor for, decisions that the departm...

Perfect Byte-Correcting Codes

We present a few new constructions for perfect linear single byte-correcting codes. These constructions generate some perfect single byte-correcting codes with new parameters, and some perfect single bytecorrecting codes with known parameters and simpler presentation and implementation over the known codes. It is also shown that nonequivalent perfect linear single byte-correcting codes exist wh...
