This project features a full-hardware sound compressor using the well known algorithm: IMA ADPCM.
The core acts as a slave WISHBONE device.
The output is perfectly compatible with any sound player with the IMA ADPCM codec (included by default in every Windows). Includes a testbench that takes an uncompressed PCM 16 bits Mono WAV file and outputs an IMA ADPCM compressed WAV file.
Compression ratio is fixed for IMA-ADPCM, being 4:1.

The FPGA can realize a more optimized Digital controller in DC/DC Converters when compare to DSPs. In this paper, based on the FPGA platform, The theoretical analysis, characteristics, simulation and design consideration are given. The methods to implement the digital DC/DC Converters have been researched. The function module, state machine of digital DC/DC controller and high resolution DPWM with Sigma-
Delta dither has been introduced. They are verified by experiments on a 20 W, 300 KHz non-isolated synchronous buck converters.
This is a paper describing Pulse Compression technique implemented in the Weather Radar system. This paper presents data examples from the
radars and contrasts the use of pulse compression
waveforms with more traditional non-modulated
pulsed waveforms.
We introduce a sub-cell WENO reconstruction method to evaluate spatial derivatives in the high-order ADER scheme. The basic idea in our reconstruction is to use only r stencils to reconstruct the point-wise values of solutions and spatial derivatives for the 2r-1 th order
ADER scheme in one dimension, while in two dimensions, the dimension-by-dimension sub-cell reconstruction approach for spatial derivatives is employed. Compared with the original ADER scheme of Toro and Titarev (2002) [2] that uses the direct derivatives of reconstructed polynomials for solutions to evaluate spatial derivatives, our method not only reduces greatly the computational costs of the ADER scheme on a given mesh,
but also avoids possible numerical oscillations near discontinuities, as demonstrated by a number of one- and two-dimensional numerical tests. All these tests show that the 5th-order ADER scheme based on our sub-cell reconstruction method achieves the desired accuracy, and is essentially non-oscillatory and computationally cheaper for problems with discontinuities.
32feet.NET is a shared-source project to make personal area networking technologies such as Bluetooth, Infrared (IrDA) and more, easily accessible from .NET code. Supports desktop, mobile or embedded systems. 32feet.NET is free for commercial or non-commercial use. If you use the binaries you can just use the library as-is, if you make modifications to the source you need to include the 32feet.NET License.txt document and ensure the file headers are not modified/removed. The project currently consists of the following libraries:-
Bluetooth
IrDA
Object Exchange
Bluetooth support requires a device with either the Microsoft, Widcomm, BlueSoleil, or Stonestreet One Bluetopia Bluetooth stack. Requires .NET Compact Framework v3.5 or above and Windows CE.NET 4.2 or above, or .NET Framework v3.5 for desktop Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8. A subset of functionality is available for Windows Phone 8 and Windows Embedded Handheld 8 in the InTheHand.Phone.Bluetooth.dll library.
Connecting 32-bit controlled applications
in the industrial, commercial and consumer
markets is fast becoming a necessity rather
than an option. Many new applications, such
as remote data collection, home automation
and networked appliances, require secure,
high-performance connectivity at an
economical price. Freescale Semiconductor
gives design engineers the flexibility to choose
the right 32-bit microcontroller from a broad
portfolio of ColdFire? embedded controllers.
Reconstruction- and example-based super-resolution
(SR) methods are promising for restoring a high-resolution
(HR) image from low-resolution (LR) image(s). Under large
magnification, reconstruction-based methods usually fail
to hallucinate visual details while example-based methods
sometimes introduce unexpected details. Given a generic
LR image, to reconstruct a photo-realistic SR image and
to suppress artifacts in the reconstructed SR image, we
introduce a multi-scale dictionary to a novel SR method
that simultaneously integrates local and non-local priors.
The local prior suppresses artifacts by using steering kernel regression to predict the target pixel from a small local
area. The non-local prior enriches visual details by taking
a weighted average of a large neighborhood as an estimate
of the target pixel. Essentially, these two priors are complementary to each other. Experimental results demonstrate
that the proposed method can produce high quality SR recovery both quantitatively and perceptually.
Accurate pose estimation plays an important role in solution of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem, required for many robotic applications. This paper presents a new approach called R-SLAM, primarily to overcome systematic and non-systematic odometry errors which are generally caused by uneven floors, unexpected objects on the floor or wheel-slippage due to skidding or fast turns.The hybrid approach presented here combines the strengths of feature based and grid based methods to produce globally consistent high resolution maps within various types of environments.
