Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a personal computer (PC)-coupled nine-hole peg test (NHPT) incorporating an engineering device that could accurately measure the travel time individual pegs and use it provide standard data in healthy young women for future reference.

Many economists feel that the government consumer and producer price indexes may be overestimating the effect of inflation since the indexes likely do not account properly for the extremely rapid technological advances in many areas. One of these areas is personal desktop computers. Although personal computers have only been available for approximately ten years, their technical quality charact...

Personal Computer/Workstation clusters have been studied intensively in the field of parallel and distributed computing. In the viewpoint of applications, data intensive applications such as data mining and ad-hoc query processing in databases are considered very important for high performance computing, as well as conventional scientific calculations. We have built and evaluated PC cluster pil...

Recently, personal computer/workstation (PC/WS) clusters have come to be studied intensively in the field of parallel and distributed computing. In the viewpoint of applications, data intensive applications including data mining and ad-hoc query processing in databases are considered very important for massively parallel processors, in addition to the conventional scientific calculation. Thus, ...

In recent years, many studies have been carried out on how to reduce energy consumption in a personal computer. In this project, we manage power consumption of computers using proximity of user. Now-a-days almost every user carries a mobile phone which have Bluetooth communication capability. In this project we have built an energy efficient system for management of power consumption of the PC ...

We present a 1000-word continuous speech recognition (CSR) system that operates in real time on a personal computer (PC). The system, designed for large vocabulary natural language tasks, makes use of phonetic Hidden Markov models (HMM) and incorporates acoustic, phonetic, and linguistic sources of knowledge to achieve high recognition performance. We describe the various components of this sys...

1 This work was made possible by US Dept. of Education grant MSIP-P120A60016 and matching support from Texas Instruments, Inc. This paper describes the setup of a Personal DSP Training Station (DSPTS), based on a Personal Computer (PC) with a soundcard and a low-cost prototype DSP board. It will be shown that, with these minimum requirements, a student or a practicing engineer can have an envir...

The design, application and evaluation of a specialized, personal computer-based manufacturing system for contouring foam cushions is presented. The topics discussed include both the hardware configuration and the software design. The target applications of this device are local or centralized fabrication of custom-contoured seat cushions. Although the technologies used for the development and ...

The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the ability of simulating thermal-solute double diffusivities problem, which is usually calculated via mini-supercomputer or supercomputer, by using typical personal computer (PC). The “plume” phenomena due to buoyant force of lighter liquid solute during solidification will be illustrated. The conduction, convection and macrosegregation predicted b...
