This article describes SwingStates, a Java toolkit designed to facilitate the development of graphical user interfaces and bring advanced interaction techniques to the Java platform. SwingStates is based on the use of finite-state machines specified directly in Java to describe the behavior of interactive systems. State machines can be used to redefine the behavior of existing Swing widgets or,...

When I was street homeless, the challenge was getting to see a general practitioner. So many obstacles were in the way—no address, out of area, no proof of who I was. It was as if I needed three forms of identification and a letter from God just to get past the receptionist. Surgery doors closed in my face, and excuse after excuse was given as to why I couldn’t see the doctor. I was sent to oth...

This work presents a low power cascaded sigma-delta modulator (SDM) for W-CDMA and GSM dual bandwidth applications. This proposed SDM has the characteristics of wide bandwidth for W-CDMA applications and has low noise floor in the lower frequency band for GSM applications. Low-distortion swing-suppressing SDM and interpolative SDM cascaded units are used in this modulator. The lowdistortion tec...

Swing options are the main type of volumetric contracts in commodity markets. A swing contract gives the holder the right (but not the obligation) to adjust volume of received commodity at her discretion. Unlike paper assets, trading in physical commodities often takes place over time and therefore involves volume as a second key state variable. Often consumption rates of the commodity are unpr...

This paper describes ICON, a novel editor designed to configure a set of input devices and connect them to actions into a graphical interactive application. ICON allows physically challenged users to connect alternative input devices and/or configure their interaction techniques according to their needs. It allows skilled users – graphic designers or musicians for example – to configure any ICO...

This study analyzed the biomechanical and physiological effects of the arm swing in roller ski skating, and compared leg-skating (i.e. ski skating without poles) using a pronounced arm swing (SWING) with leg-skating using locked arms (LOCKED). Sixteen elite male cross-country skiers performed submaximal stages at 10, 15 and 20kmh(-1) on a 2% inclined treadmill in the two techniques. SWING demon...

ABSTRACT In this paper, we present a temperature compensation method for logarithmic CMOS image sensors. As Bandgap technique, the compensation circuit generates VPTAT1 and VPTAT2 voltages to compensate temperature variation of the sensor output signal voltage (Out-AC-Signal) which we call VCTAT1 and output reference voltage (VRef−ph) which we call VCTAT2. The proposed method is divided into th...

Although often perceived as a leisurely activity, golf can be a demanding sport, which can result in injury, usually from overuse and sometimes from poor technique. The shoulder is a commonly affected site, with the lead shoulder, or the left shoulder in the right-handed golfer, particularly vulnerable to injury. A thorough understanding of the biomechanics of the golf swing is helpful in diagn...

This paper presents a novel software pipelining approach, which is called Swing Modulo Scheduling (SMS). It generates schedules that are near optimal in terms of initiation interval, register requirements and stage count. Swing Modulo Scheduling is an heuristic approach that has a low computational cost. The paper describes the technique and evaluates it for the Perfect Club benchmark suite. SM...
