Open-Source Syringe Pump Library

This article explores a new open-source method for developing and manufacturing high-quality scientific equipment suitable for use in virtually any laboratory. A syringe pump was designed using freely available open-source computer aided design (CAD) software and manufactured using an open-source RepRap 3-D printer and readily available parts. The design, bill of materials and assembly instruct...

An Open Process Model Library

Business process elicitation requires high human and financial resources, often only affordable to large organizations. We observed that many business processes are modeled redundantly consuming a lot of money and resources. Collecting, sharing, and re-using process models overcome this problem. Libraries in the real world are a good example of sharing resources among many members reducing the ...

A Generic Library for Adaptive Computing Environments

The Generic Library for Adaptive Computing Environments (GLACE) consists of a comprehensive set of module generators currently targeting Xilinx XC4000 and Virtex devices. In contrast to other research efforts in this area, it provides detailed meta-data about the generated circuits (behavior, area, timing, topology etc.) using the active FLAME interface. All of the modules adhere to a common la...

Using Euler Diagrams in Traditional Library Environments

In this paper, we present a new graphical interface for traditional library environments, which allows the user to elaborate easily and efficiently new strategies in search processes. This tool is based on two linked interactive Euler diagram representations. The first one is an interactive representation of the structures composing the documentary kernel of the library. The user may navigate a...
