Identification and selection of appropriate product and manufacturing technologies are key factors for competitiveness and market success of technology-based companies. Therefore, many companies perform technology intelligence (TI) activities to ensure the identification of evolving technologies at the right time. Technology monitoring is one of the three base activities of TI, besides scanning...

We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of two approaches to model selection: the information theoretic method suggested by Kanatani [3] and others, and our heuristic sequential selection method [9]. keywords: curve segmentation, model selection, line, ellipse

Architecture selection is one of the key steps in a multi-standard front-end design flow. By choosing a suitable front-end architecture, problems in the building block design (DC-offsets, flicker noise, high power consumption) can be avoided. In this paper the selection of the most suitable architecture for a multi-standard front-end for DECT and Bluetooth is presented. An important selection c...

As the number of systems which offer annotations on digital documents increases, robust anchoring of annotations is a key challenge. It is especially important if the annotator lacks write-access to the document being annotated. For example, if someone makes an annotation on a web page today and the web page changes tomorrow, what happens to the annotation? One approach is simply to “orphan” th...
