Exceptional C++ shows by example how to go about solid software engineering. Along with a lot of other material, this book includes expanded versions of the first 30 issues of the popular Internet C++ feature Guru of the Week (or, in its short form, GotW), a series of self-contained C++ engineering problems and solutions that illustrate specific design and coding techniques.
A short tour on wavelets. This documents describes general aspects in wavelet field. It concerns a mathematical approach and can be used as a teaching material.
wxPython In Action，By combining introductions, overviews, and how-to examples, the In Action
books are designed to help learning and remembering. According to research in
cognitive science, the things people remember are things they discover during
self-motivated exploration.
A fractal is generally "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,"[1] a property called self-similarity. The term was coined by Benoî t Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning "broken" or "fractured." A mathematical fractal is based on an equation that undergoes iteration, a form of feedback based on recursion.[2]

This Symbian C++ code example demonstrates how to easily use the onboard camera with zoom and autofocus, utilising an accompanying CameraWrapper made by Forum Nokia. The Camera Wrapper supports all Nokia s S60 devices based on S60 3rd Edition and newer, providing a unified interface for various Symbian and S60 camera APIs some of which have previously been Feature Pack specific or only available via an SDK plug-in. The example application supports the use of both the keypad and touch UI. The application can be self-signed, but it also provides an option to use the dedicated camera key (Symbian signing required). The example application replaces the separate examples published for S60 3rd Edition, FP1 (S60 Platform: Camera Example with AutoFocus Support v2.2) and FP2 (S60 Camera Example AutoFocus 3rd Ed FP2).
Abstract-In this paper, simple autonomous chaotic circuits
coupled by resistors are investigated. By carrying out computer
calculations and circuit experiments, irregular self-switching phenomenon
of three spatial patterns characterized by the phase
states of quasi-synchronization of chaos can be observed from
only four simple chaotic circuits. This is the same phenomenon
as chaotic wandering of spatial patterns observed very often from
systems with a large number of degrees of freedom. Namely, one
of spatial-temporal chaos observed from systems of large size can
be also generated in the proposed system consisting of only four
chaotic circuits. A six subcircuits case and a coupled chaotic circuits
networks are also studied, and such systems are confirmed
to produce more complicated spatio-temporal phenomena.
Behavioral models are used in games and computer graphics for
realistic simulation of massive crowds. In this paper, we present a
GPU based implementation of Reynolds [1987] algorithm for simulating
flocks of birds and propose an extension to consider environment
self occlusion. We performed several experiments and
the results showed that the proposed approach runs up to three
times faster than the original algorithm when simulating high density
crowds, without compromising significantly the original crowd
behavior.
Commercially available active noise control headphones rely on fixed analog controllers to drive "anti-noise" loudspeakers. Our design uses an adaptive controller to optimally cancel unwanted acoustic noise. This headphone would be particularly useful for workers who operate or work near heavy machinery and engines because the noise is selectively eliminated. Desired sounds, such as speech and warning signals, are left to be heard clearly. The adaptive control algorithm is implemented on a Texas Instruments (TI™ )
1
TMS320C30GEL digital signal processor (DSP), which drives a Sony CD550 headphone/microphone system. Our experiments indicate that adaptive noise control results in a dramatic improvement in performance over fixed noise control. This improvement is due to the availability of high-performance programmable DSPs and the self-optimizing and tracking
capabilities of the adaptive controller in response to the surrounding noise.
An Overview of Smart Card Security.
The smart card, an intelligent token, is a credit card sized plastic card embedded with an integrated circuit chip. It provides not only memory capacity, but computational capability as well. The self-containment of smart card makes it resistant to attack as it does not need to depend upon potentially vulnerable external resources. Because of this characteristic, smart cards are often used in different applications which require strong security protection and authentication.
