An impedimetric biosensor platform for bio-affinity assays was developed based on real-time, label-free electrochemical detection performed via direct interface to electronic digital data processing. The sensor array consists of 15 gold microelectrode pairs enclosed in three reaction chambers and bio-functionalized with specific DNA probes. The impedance change caused by specific target analyte...

In this paper, an implementation of an educational platform for real-time linear andmorphological image filtering using a FPGA NexysII, Xilinx®, Spartan 3E, is described. The system is connected to a USB port of a personal computer, which in that way form a powerful and low-cost design station for educational purposes. The FPGA-based system is accessed through a MATLAB graphical user interface,...

In this paper, a real-time information service platform for high-speed train was proposed and implemented. With this platform, all passengers of train will freely to get access by Wi-Fi or other wireless network to enjoy movie, music, train information and travel information. Besides, the platform was connected to a FPGA based data processing center to collect train operation data including ins...

This paper presents the design and development of a real-time monitoring and diagnosis system for diagnosing degraded cutting regimes in Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM). The detection in advance of the degradation of the cutting process is crucial since this can lead to the breakage of the cutting tool (the wire), reducing the process productivity and the required accuracy. This work...

Real-time data collection and analytics is a desirable but challenging feature to provide in dataintensive software systems. To provide highly concurrent and efficient real-time analytics on streaming data at interactive speeds requires a welldesigned software architecture that makes use of a carefully selected set of software frameworks. In this paper, we report on the design and implementatio...

Real-time control of smart grid will require fast and accurate implementation of intelligent monitoring and decision making techniques. Intelligent methods with faster speed and better accuracy will be possible by implementing in parallel on high performance computing platforms. Such methods need to be rigorously tested in simulations before implementing in actual systems. Therefore, integratio...

This paper presents an open platform to design, simulate and test robotic image-based visual servoing systems using off-the-shelf commercial cameras and standard personal computers. First a set of simulation files for Matlab is introduced and then a real-time toolkit for visual servoing is presented. The latter makes extensive use of separate threads and multiprocess computing to support the im...

This paper presents a set of techniques used in a real-time visual surveillance system. The system is implemented on a low-cost embedded DSP platform that is designed to work with stationary video sources. It consists of detection, a tracking and a classification module. The detector uses a statistical method to establish the background model and extract the foreground pixels. These pixels are ...

This paper describes the current evolutions and perspectives of the FTS real-time executive as the colonne vertébrale of the Ircam “Real-Time Platform” project, which is a software oriented continuation of the “Ircam Musical Workstation” project.

A computing platform is described for simulating arbitrary networks of spiking neurons in real time. A hybrid computing scheme is adopted that uses both software and hardware components to manage the tradeoff between flexibility and computational power; the neuron model is implemented in hardware and the network model and the learning are implemented in software. The incremental transition of t...
