---This paper reviews various methods of printed circuit board (PCB) defect detection and classification system using image processing. PCB are by far the most common method of assembling modern electronic circuits. During the manufacturing of PCB many defects are introduced which are harmful to precise circuit performance. A variety of ways has been established to detect the defects found on P...

The extension of Internet services to public transport passengers is slowly becoming inevitable. To this end, it is envisaged that high-speed local area networks will be deployed on-board public transport vehicles (e.g., buses, trains, ships and planes). The on-board LAN will be connected to the Internet via an on-board mobile router (MR). The passengers simply connect their devices to the on-b...

This paper describes a prototype of software system of neural network control of telemetry data for malfunction diagnosis of spacecraft subsystems. The prototype is used for testing of intelligent technologies for processing information about a spacecraft subsystems state, prediction and detection of irregularities of the spacecraft subsystem modes. The Information obtained from on-board data s...

The \Spirit of Bolivia" is a robotic soccer team which demonstrates minimally comprehensive team behavior. By this we mean that each member of the team makes progress towards team goals, and obstructs progress of the opponent, by interacting constructively with teammates and in a sportsmanlike manner with opposing players. This complex behavior is achieved with simple on-board processors runnin...

When encapsulated in elastomer, micropatterned traces of Ga-based liquid metal (LM) can function as elastically deformable circuit wiring that provides mechanically robust electrical connectivity between solid-state elements (e.g., transistors, processors, and sensor nodes). However, LM-microelectronics integration is currently limited by challenges in rapid fabrication of LM circuits and the c...

Introduction Video and image processing applications are typically very computationally intensive. Given the increasing processing demands, the parallel processing capabilities of Altera® programmable logic devices make them an attractive implementation option for highly repetitive tasks found in video and imaging functions. Instead of using multiple programmable digital signal processors, a si...

It has long been known that for certain narrowly defined problems, special-purpose processors can achieve significant cost/performance gains over general purpose machines. We describe one such processor here: a custom accelerator for gene sequence analysis,. The use of rapid prototyping technology was crucial in our efforts to produce a working system in a short amount of time. Field programmab...
