Introduction Now that large-screen HDTVs (high-definition televisions) have achieved widespread acceptance, many consumers are expanding their electronics collection to include components for a complete home theater system. Home theater in a box (HTiB), sound bars, and audio/video receivers (AVRs) enhance the user experience with superb audio while complementing the HDTV video performance. The ...

The decline of bats demands more widespread monitoring of populations for conservation and management. Current censusing methods are either prone to bias or require costly equipment. Here, we report a new method using passive acoustics to determine bat count census from overall acoustic amplitude of the emerging bat stream. We recorded the video and audio of an emerging colony of Mexican free-t...

Recent advances in multimedia network systems have led to the development of a new generation of applications that associate the use of various multimedia objects. The connection of audio and video devices through high speed multimedia pervasive networks will make the use of these systems more convenient. For example, many home appliances, such as video cameras, display monitors, video recorder...

This paper describes the architecture of an integrated platform developed for improving the development efficiency of system LSIs built into digital consumer electronics equipment such as flat-panel TVs and optical disc recorders. The reason for developing an integrated platform is to improve the development efficiency of system LSIs that serve the principal functions of the said equipment. The...

Reflections, multipath and shadows due to buildings, equipment, and other reflecting objects on the airport surface, make it difficult, if not sometimes impossible for existing Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems (A-SMGCS) to reliably cover the whole aerodrome. In these cases another sensor must step in to fill those gaps. Digital video cameras not only can solve these kinds ...

As the advance of technology, the manufacturing process of materials has moved forward from the scale of micrometer to sub-micrometer and nanometer. Combining nanotechnology and traditional magnetic materials, nanoscale magnetic materials can be created for applications in biomedical examination and therapy as well as data recording to increase the storage space of a computer. The topic of usin...

The recognition of clinical manifestations in both video images and physiological-signal waveforms is an important aid to improve the safety and effectiveness in medical care. Physicians can rely on video-waveform (VW) observations to recognize difficult-to-spot signs and symptoms. The VW observations can also reduce the number of false positive incidents and expand the recognition coverage to ...
