The Bay Area Photovoltaic Consortium (BAPVC) is conceived to create a vibrant forum for interaction among Photovoltaic (PV) industry and academic experts to address the critical challenges in converting the U.S. leadership in PV R&D into leadership in PV Manufacturing. The U.S. faces substantial challenges in building such a PV manufacturing base as many of our competitors benefit from fewer ma...

Boundary labeling is a relatively new labeling method. It can be useful in automating the production of technical drawings and medical maps, where it is common to explain certain parts of the drawing with text labels, arranged on its boundary so that other parts of the drawing are not obscured. In boundary labeling, we are given a rectangle R which encloses a set of n sites. Each site si is ass...

In this short paper we describe a Wide Area Audio Synchronisation demonstration using the Quality of Service (QoS) facilities of the Nemesis operating system. The Nemesis operating system is a result of the ESPRIT funded Pegasus I research project. A stereo audio stream is split with each channel being input to one of two distinct network digitisation devices; one of the resulting streams is se...

Calculating and categorizing the similarity of curves is a fundamental problem which has generated much recent interest. However, to date there are no implementations of these algorithms for curves on surfaces with provable guarantees on the quality of the measure. In this paper, we present a similarity measure for any two cycles that are homologous, where we calculate the minimum area of any h...

A. We study the surface area of an ellipsoid in E as the function of the lengths of theirmajor semi-axes. Wewrite down an explicit formula as an integral over Sn−1, use the formula to derive convexity properties of the surface area, to sharpen the estimates given [6], to produce asymptotic formulas in large dimensions, and to give an expression for the surface in terms of the Lauricella ...

We present the initial results from our search for high redshift, z & 6, quasars using near infrared data from the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Large Area Survey (LAS). Our analysis of 106 deg of sky from Data Release 1 (DR1) has resulted in the discovery of ULAS J020332.38+001229.2, a luminous (JAB = 20.0, JVega = 19.1, M1450 = −26.2) quasar at z = 5.86. Following candidate selectio...

As developed by Wallace and Dadda, a method for high-speed, parallel multiplication is to generate a matrix of partial products and then reduce the partial products to two numbers whose sum is equal to the final product. The resulting two numbers are then summed using a fast carry-propagate adder. This paper presents Reduced Area multipliers, which employ a modified reduction scheme that result...
