For this project, a program was written which can automatically reverse-engineer a netlist of a oneor two-layer printed circuit board (PCBs) from photos of the board. Reverseengineering a printed circuit board (PCB) is useful for purposes such as repairing equipment for which component-level documentation is not available, integrating a poorly-documented board into a system, and for identifying...

We have built and evaluated a prototype of a tool called Knight. The tool uses an electronic whiteboard a large, touch sensitive computer screen (currently a SMART Board http://www.smarttech.com). The large drawing space resembles a traditional whiteboard: Pens are used as input devices and several persons can work around it. Thus, it naturally supports collaborative work. Furthermore, the Knig...

This paper describes the interactive installation Sissy (Sound-driven, Interactive, Self-conscious SYstem) at the STRP festival. The concept adheres to the design philosophy of slow technology and aims at stimulating relaxation. Sissy is made out of 700 flip dots with a black and white side and it responds to visitors’ movements sensed by a camera. The white dots are coloured through the projec...

The vision of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) is that, in 20–30 years, most clinical pharmacy practitioners will be boardcertified specialists. 2 This White Paper develops a rationale for this position, describes specialty board certification in pharmacy, and articulates recommendations for attaining the vision.

Abstract. In this paper, we applied the decomposition method to obtain a new winning strategy for 7x7 Hex game. We also find that some positions on the 7x7 Hex board, which are called “trivial positions”, were never occupied by Black among all of strategies in the new solution. In other words, Black can still win the game by using the strategies described in this paper even if White already has...
