It is common that documents belonging to historical collections are poorly preserved and are prone to degradation processes. The aim of this work is to leverage state-of-the-art techniques in digital image binarization and text identification for digitized documents allowing further content exploitation in an efficient way. A novel methodology is proposed that leads to preservation of meaningfu...

In this work a new test structure for mismatch characterization of CMOS technologies is presented. The test structure is modular, with a reduced area and it can be inserted in the space between the dies (scribe lines) on the wafers. The test structure has been implemented in a standard 0.18-μm digital CMOS technology.

Article history: Received 25 May 2015 Received in revised form 20 June 2015 Accepted 21 June 2015 Available online xxxx Thin-film siliconmodules are commonly produced by an alternating sequence of layer deposition and layer patterning steps, which lead to amonolithic series connected device. Most used process is laser scribing process that offers a high throughput and a small area loss. Tin oxi...

In this paper we describe an experiment to compare a new transcription design prototype to an existing commercial application. In a between-subjects design, participants transcribed short interview segments using both applications, and they were compared with regards to quantitative efficiency measures such as time taken, and also on subjective user ratings assessed using Likert scales on an ex...
