With great interest, I read Kompanje’s (2006) clinical case report about a remarkable penis-shortening device invented in 1593 by the surgeon Hildanus. With this letter, I want to point your readers to an even older description of a similar device—not by a medical scholar, but by the great Persian humanist, philosopher, and poet Jalal-ud-Din Muhammad Rumi (1207–1273). In his poem, ‘‘The Importa...

There is a well-known correspondence between symmetric 2-(4ju— 1,2/z — 1,/z — 1) designs and Hadamard matrices of order 4^. It is not so well known that there is a natural correspondence between Hadamard matrices of order 2\x and affine l-(4ju, 2^, 2(i) designs whose duals are also affine. Such a design is denoted by H^fi) in this paper. Under this natural correspondence, two H^fi) designs are ...

We describe a novel formulation of the range recovery problem, based on computation of the di erential variation in image intensities with respect to changes in camera position. The method uses a single stationary camera and a pair of calibrated optical attenuation masks to directly measure this di erential quantity. The subsequent computation of the range image is simple and should be suitable...
