This paper describes a possible organization of the ATLAS read-out system. It is based on the ROB Complex concept which assumes that a read-out unit is formed by several input buffer modules sharing a network interface to a common Trigger/DAQ data collection network. An implementation of such ROB Complex is presented, which is based on a PCI bus connecting readout buffers, control processor and...

This paper presents a user authentication scheme which takes advantage of the uniqueness of prover’s auditory characteristics. In this scheme, several audio stimuli are presented at the same time by headphone. The stimuli include a special audio stimulus that only the genuine prover can easily distinguishes from other stimuli because of the uniqueness of auditory characteristics. The prover is ...

Inside-out algorithms provide the ability to generate all hexahedral meshes by first introducing a structured mesh that bounds the complete body modeled, then secondly by manipulating the exterior of this structured mesh to fit the specific boundary of the body. Such algorithms generally provide high quality meshes on the interior of the body but suffer with lower quality elements on the bounda...
