The Washington University MultiMedia eXplorer (MMX) is a complete, host-independent multimedia system capable of transmitting and receiving JPEG-compressed video, CD-quality audio, and high-resolution radiographic images over the Washington University broadband ATM network. If the host is equipped with an ATM interface card, normal network traffic can be supported via an ATM extension port on t...

Sensor network users currently face enormous challenges, including programming difficulty and the use of unfamiliar, complex interfaces. To date, most usability research with respect to sensor networks have focused on simplifying programming by offering powerful programming abstractions. Unfortunately, such work does little to encourage ordinary users, such as application scientists, to adopt s...

The UTRAN consists of a set of Radio Network Subsystems connected to the Core Network through the Iu. The Iu interface has two flavours: the Iu-CS, connecting to the Circuit-Switched-domain, the Iu-PS when connecting to the Packet-Switched-domain. A Radio Network Subsystem (RNS) consists of a Radio Network Controller and one or more Node Bs. A Node B is connected to the RNC through the Iub inte...

To evolve a network beyond a stupid bitpipe, the network needs information about the applications’ intentions and communication preferences. We give an brief overview about our earlier work, Socket Intents, that augments the standard BSD socket interface to enable the application to express what it knows about its communication patterns and preferences. This information can then be used by our ...

objectives: this study aimed to evaluate the effects of saliva contamination on the metallic bracket microleakage bonded with two moisture-tolerant bonding systems. materials and methods:  ninety freshly extracted premolar teeth were randomly divided into six groups of 15 with the following treatments: g1 (control): after acid etching, assure primer and assure adhesive were applied to non-conta...

This paper describes the design and implementation of a home network system using UPnP middleware and an embedded interface device. The developed home network system comprises a home server program, appliance emulators; (e.g., for l'K refrigerator, and airconditioner), and an embedded interface device for networked home appliances.

Enhancing the performance of the broadband Internet and the performance of computer and storage systems requires high-bandwidth networks to interconnect these systems. Fujitsu has already marketed high-speed network interface products such as the 10 G Ethernet and has recently developed a CMOS interface that accommodates high-speed data transfer at 6.4 Gb/s per signal line to increase network b...

introduction: evoked potentials arisen by stimulating the brain can be utilized as a communication tool  between humans and machines. most brain-computer interface (bci) systems use the p300 component,  which is an evoked potential. in this paper, we evaluate the use of the hidden markov model (hmm) for  detection of p300.  materials and methods: the wavelet transforms, wavelet-enhanced indepen...
