The image registration by digital cameras and video cameras requires digital filters to be posed onto the photo-sensitive sensors (CCD and CMOS). The filters are arranged in patterns across the face of the image sensing array. The most commonly used color filter array is Bayer pattern. An alternative of this pattern is a Pseudo-Random Bayer color filter array (CFA). Its structure differs consid...

The diffusion of computer technology has led to an increased interest in computer gaming. A study conducted by the Pew Internet and American Life Project (2001) found that over half of teens in the U.S. play or download computer games. Both boys and girls are proficient gamers, although boys are more likely to self-identify as such (Bryce & Rutter, 2003). The combination of the popularity of co...

With the goal of demonstrating the advantages of supercomputer simulations for process design and operations, Bayer AG recently teamed up with Cray Research to perform plantwide dynamic simulations of an entire Bayer production facility in Leverkusen. This paper presents project results and benefits from both a computational standpoint and a Bayer company perspective. Regarding computational as...
