This paper presents several low-latency mixed-timing
FIFO (first-in–first-out) interfaces designs that interface systems
on a chip working at different speeds. The connected systems
can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The designs are then
adapted to work between systems with very long interconnect
delays, by migrating a single-clock solution by Carloni et al.
(1999, 2000, and 2001) (for “latency-insensitive” protocols) to
mixed-timing domains. The new designs can be made arbitrarily
robust with regard to metastability and interface operating speeds.
Initial simulations for both latency and throughput are promising.
Absolute Database 5.12 src.
Absolute Database lets you forget the Borland Database Engine (BDE). This BDE replacement is the compact, high-speed, robust and easy-to-use database engine. With Absolute Database you will not need special installation and configuration, it compiles right into your EXE. Make your application faster and smaller with Absolute Database BDE alternative!
THE SYNTAX OF A PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE tells you what code it is possible
to write—what the machine will understand. Style tells you what you ought to write—
what the humans reading the code will understand. Code written with a consistent, simple
style will be maintainable, robust, and contain fewer bugs. Code written with no regard to
style will contain more bugs. It may simply be thrown away and rewritten rather than
maintained.
vTools is a toolbox for Matlab 5.3 developed
within the Department of Electrical Systems and
Automation (DSEA) of the University of Pisa (Italy)
with the aim to offering to the Matlab users
(especially control engineers and control
engineering students) a completely graphical
toolbox for linear system analysis and robust
control synthesis
A general technique for the recovery of signicant
image features is presented. The technique is based on
the mean shift algorithm, a simple nonparametric pro-
cedure for estimating density gradients. Drawbacks of
the current methods (including robust clustering) are
avoided. Feature space of any nature can be processed,
and as an example, color image segmentation is dis-
cussed. The segmentation is completely autonomous,
only its class is chosen by the user. Thus, the same
program can produce a high quality edge image, or pro-
vide, by extracting all the signicant colors, a prepro-
cessor for content-based query systems. A 512 512
color image is analyzed in less than 10 seconds on a
standard workstation. Gray level images are handled
as color images having only the lightness coordinate
A one-dimensional calibration object consists of three or more collinear points with known relative positions.
It is generally believed that a camera can be calibrated only when a 1D calibration object is in planar motion or rotates
around a ¯ xed point. In this paper, it is proved that when a multi-camera is observing a 1D object undergoing general
rigid motions synchronously, the camera set can be linearly calibrated. A linear algorithm for the camera set calibration
is proposed,and then the linear estimation is further re¯ ned using the maximum likelihood criteria. The simulated and
real image experiments show that the proposed algorithm is valid and robust.
C++, although a marvelous language, isn t perfect. Matthew Wilson has been working with it for over a decade, and during that time he has found inherent limitations that require skillful workarounds. In this book, he doesn t just tell you what s wrong with C++, but offers practical techniques and tools for writing code that s more robust, flexible, efficient, and maintainable. He shows you how to tame C++ s complexity, cut through its vast array of paradigms, take back control over your code--and get far better results
This book shows how to design and implement C++ software that is more effective: more likely to behave correctly more robust in the face of exceptions more efficient more portable makes better use of language features adapts to change more gracefully works better in a mixed-language environment is easier to use correctly is harder to use incorrectly. In short, software that s just better.
Abstract
The Lucene Server project is an attempt to extend the Jakarta Lucene tool with server capabilities.
Lucene is a robust Java API that enables you creating indexes from text sources and perform powerful searches on these indexes. With Lucene, creating an index must be done programmatically and there are almost no possibilities of integrating index management in a distributed environment. In other words, out of the box, Lucene is suitable for integrating indexing and searching possibilities in a single application but not for providing index/search services for multiple applications.
The Lucene Server project comes with a Java API that propose the following
make it easy to create indexes in a declarative way by simply providing an XML configuration document.
make it easy to personalize the way Lucene must handle different kind of data sources.
provide services for index management and searching that can be accessed from several applications.
enable batch tasks scheduling.
