Mobile applications of automated capture present many interesting design challenges, balancing the desire for rich media against ease of use and availability. In particular, capturing rich media of young children has many potential benefits, but remains a difficult challenge due to the many unique constraints of recording children. Motivated by the aim of supporting a parent’s need to record th...

The effects of seedlayer (SL) and preheating on the crystallographic, magnetic, and recording properties of CoCr18Pt16B4 granular perpendicular magnetic media have been investigated. For the media with Ru as underlayer, although higher preheating improves both coercivity and squareness, the media is much noisier. With introducing Ta SL, Ru (0002)/Co (0002) crystallography is greatly enhanced. H...

Continuous digital media such as video and audio are processed and communicated within networked infrastructures. The security of these media has become very important. If the encryption process is part of the video retrieval and playback process, then encryption and decryption must be performed in real time and the speed of the encryption/decryption algorithm matters. We show in this paper tha...
