We describe the successful translation of computerized and space-consuming laboratory equipment for the treatment of suppression to a small handheld iPod device (Apple iPod; Apple Inc., Cupertino, California). A portable and easily obtainable Apple iPod display, using current video technology offers an ideal solution for the clinical treatment of suppression. The following is a description of t...

Video traffic is foreseen to account for the majority of the Internet traffic in the near future. While the demand of video transmission keeps growing, the vast majority of wireless equipment deployed in the home environment, based on IEEE 802.11, does not support robust multicast transmission that video applications require. In order to cope with the increasing demand of multimedia traffic, th...

Isometric exercise has been shown to increase metaboliasm in muscle. By contracting agonsit / antagonist muscle pairs, appreciable muscle activity can be achieved. An advanatge of isometric exercise is that no exercise equipment is needed; people can exercise at home on their own. In the present investigation 16 subjects were examined during an isometric co contraction exercise video compared t...

Video conferencing is a well-established area of communications, which have been studied for decades. Recently this area has received a new impulse due to significantly increased bandwidth of Local and Wide area networks, appearance of low-priced video equipment and development of web based media technologies. This paper presents the main techniques behind the modern IP-based videoconferencing ...

INTRODUCTION: Technological advances have led to newer instruments and forms of audiovisual performance. Simultaneously, there has been a resurgence analogue equipment in sound synthesis. However, such for video synthesis are yet be well establishe

New Web-based monitoring and control system applications have been developed to allow remote control of equipments. Although interesting and useful, such applications present hidden costs related to software development tools, annual software licensing, regular maintenance and upgrades. This paper presents an application tool for controlling instruments over the Web developed using open code re...

Video streaming and videoconferencing technology is now attainable using inexpensive and widely available equipment. This paper uses of a set of case studies conducted at a recent conference in the UK to investigate the technical and organizational issues related to differing approaches to the technology. Two approaches, videoconferencing over the Access Grid with VRVS and a simple mono-directi...

To realize the low power consumption and low-cost equipment needed to decode high definition broadcasts, Fujitsu has developed a single-chip multicore processor FR1000 that integrates four 8-way, Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) FR-V processor cores. This new multicore processor is fabricated using a 90 nm, nine-metal-layer CMOS process and a 900-pin flip-chip package. The processor cores oper...

The Telecommunication Sector of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) has developed a set of standards for multimedia conferencing over packet-based networks. These standards are aggregated under a standard umbrella termed Recommendation H.323. Recommendation H.323 describes terminals, equipment, and services for multimedia communication over networks such as the Internet. H.323 ter...

INTRODUCTION Advanced video technology is available for sleep-laboratories. However, low-cost equipment for screening in the home setting has not been identified and tested, nor has a methodology for analysis of video recordings been suggested. METHODS We investigated different combinations of hardware/software for home-videosomnography (HVS) and established a process for qualitative and quan...
