Nowadays people became aware of the overhead lines and their emissions of electromagnetic fields. This work presents a method for calculation of the electric field strength and magnetic field density caused by the overhead power lines at the ground level. The method considers the conductor sagging. It is shown that the sagged conductors can be replaced with the properly placed straight conducto...

Pola is a functional style programming language—currently under development—whose type system guarantees that all its programs run in polynomial time. Indeed, as every polynomial time (PTIME) algorithm can be rendered in Pola, the language is complete for polynomial time programming. Furthermore, to someone familiar with functional programming, Pola enforces a style of programming which is—rela...

The analysis and design of electromechanical devices involve the solution of large sparse linear systems, and require therefore high performance algorithms. In this paper, the Schur complement method with parallel preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) solver is introduced in two-dimensional parallel time-stepping finite element formulation to analyse rotating machine considering the electroma...

Haptic keyboards bring the same touch sensation for pianists such acoustic grand pianos. One of the main parts of a haptic device is the actuator, that exerts fairly high and fast changing force. This paper presents the design issues of a voice coil motor type actuator assembly. Magnetic field simulations are carried out to investigate the interaction between actuator units. Streszczenie. W art...

A one dimensional model of primate smooth pursuit mechanism has been implemented in 2 μm CMOS VLSI. The scheme consolidates Robinson’s negative feedback model with Wyatt and Pola’s positive feedback scheme, to produce a smooth pursuit system which zeroes the velocity of a target on the retina. Furthermore, the system uses the current eye motion as a predictor for future target motion. Analysis,...

Figure 2: 3D-computed tomography (CT) scan showing right rotatory atlanto-axial subluxation without any increase in the atlanto-dental distance confirming the diagnosis of Fielding’s type-I atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation. smaller centers. This leads to undue concentration of neurosurgeons in a few centers, where facilities are available, leading to less and less of neurosurgical work for ind...

The article describe systematically the electromagnetic (EM) side channels sources and electromagnetic field of the microprocessor and is focused on the best way how to measure the near electromagnetic field of microprocessor. It was suggested and realized several electromagnetic probes and it was performed the measurement regarded to the theoretical background on the testbed with cryptographic...

Drawing on Value Sensitive Design, we developed a workable privacy addendum for an open source software license that not only covers intellectual property rights while allowing software developers to modify the software (the usual scope of an open source license), but also addresses enduser privacy. One central innovation of our work entails the integration of an informed consent model and a th...

Positioning technologies that use Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) networks for location estimation (such as the Privacy Observant Location System (POLS) and the Place Lab framework) lack the accuracy that other positioning technologies like the Global Positioning System (GPS) have. GPS receivers are capable most of the time of placing a person within 10 metres of a known location. ...

A nonparametric method to define a pixel neighborhood in cata-dioptric images is presented. The method is based on an accurate mod-eling of the mirror shape by mean of polarization imaging. Unlike most processing methods existing in the literature, this method is nonparametric and enables us to respect the catadioptric image's anamorphosis. The neighborhood is directly derived from the two pola...
