2) Insane amounts of nepotism - Entire families are employed by this facility with very mixed results (see above)
3) Decision-making process defies logic - It is astounding how many poor decisions are made there HOURLY ..much less weekly or daily.
4) Collective bargaining group - Mewling group of infantile adults
5) Safety - One of the least safe facilities I personally have ever seen.
6) Security - Incompetency pervades. Theft of equipment and personal property is rampant and unchecked. Prescription and illegal drugs are openly sold between employees and contractors. Emergency drills are often mistakenly reported over the plantwide radio system. Background checks for contractors and new hires are non-existent.

Second Buddhist Council
Second Buddhist Council, Buddhism
Convened almost 100 years after Buddha`s death, the second council tried to resolve a grave dispute on Vinaya.
The Second Buddhist council took place in Vesali (also named as Vaishali, it is an ancient city that once served the capital of the Licchavis and the Vajjian Confederacy), approximately one hundred years after the Buddha`s Parinibbana (it is the final nirvana, normally understood to be within the reach only upon the death of the body of someone who has attained complete awakening (bodhi)), in order to settle a grievous dispute on Vinaya (a word in Pali as well as in Sanskrit, this is the regulatory framework for Buddhist monastic community, or sangha, based in the canonical texts called
Vinaya Pitaka
). The orthodox monks were able to persuade the monks whose behaviour was under scrutiny. Accounts of the dispute are preserved in the Vinaya texts of several of the early Buddhist schools.
Some time after the Second Council, rifts occurred within the monastic Sangha, which led to the formation of several subgroups like Sthaviravada, Mahasanghika and Sarvastivada. The occurrence of these schools is sometimes related to the Second Council, but there is no validation for this suggestion - all the early canonical accounts state that the conflict was dissolved.
The dispute sprang up over the `Ten Points`. This is a reference to claims of some monks breaching ten rules, some of which were considered crucial.
The specific ten points were:
1. Stacking salt in a horn.
2. Eating after midday.
3. Eating once and then going again to a village for alms.
4. Holding the Uposatha Ceremony with monks inhabiting in the same locality.
5. Carrying out official acts when the assembly was unfinished.
6. Following a specific practice because it was done by one`s teacher.
7. Drinking sour milk after one have had his midday meal.
8. Consuming liquor before it had been fermented.
9. Using a carpet which was of improper size.
10. Making use of gold and silver.
The central issue was the use of `gold and silver`, which is an Indic idiom that comprises any sort of money. The monks of Vesali had taken to vagabonding for alms with the specific goal of gathering money, to which the visiting monk Yasa objected. Some of the other points are also of significance, such as point 6, which would allow monks to not follow the Vinaya on any point which their teacher did not abide by or practice.
This behaviour was taken to note, became an issue and caused a substantial disputation. The monastic Sangha is structured so that all actions and decisions must be unanimously agreed upon through perfect agreement. Since the monks charged of breaking these ten rules refused to be remonstrated or admit fault, the Sangha was unable to settle this dispute in any other way than by calling forth the Second Buddhist Council. The council took place in c. 4th century BCE.
Some of the Ten Points were against minor (Dukkata or sekhiya) rules. Before the Buddha`s Parinibbana he told Venerable Ananda that the community might (unanimously) dispense with the minor rules of the Vinaya, but in the
First Buddhist Council
there was dubiousness about which rules he was referring to and it was collectively decided to keep the Vinaya as it was during the Buddha`s lifetime. However, 100 years later some monks felt that certain rules could be loosened up.
The Second Buddhist Council made the unanimous decision not to relax any of the rules, and reprimanded the behaviour of the monks who were charged of profaning the ten points.

Discoveries: Silent movies at Lodi's Harmony Wynelands
LODI – Silent? I think not. My cilia were doing the Charleston inside my eardrums all night, as the likes of Stan Laurel flickered across the big screen and pipe organist Dave Moreno punctuated each frame with just the right aural accompaniment.
Silly me, I had assumed silent movies meant literal silence. Isn't that the way it worked in the homage to this bygone era, "The Artist," which figures to make a big noise at tonight's Oscars telecast?
But a sojourn to the big blue barn at Harmony Wynelands for its periodic Silent Movie Night sets you straight and provides a real feel for how it was back in the day.
Credit Bob Hartzell, owner of the winery, and Moreno, silent movie buff nonpareil, for that. Hartzell bought the hulking three-console organ and pipes, which made its debut at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco in 1921, and built the barn to house it. Moreno raids his vault of more than 200 silent films and gives voice to the action by playing snippets of songs from the era.
Yeah, at crucial plot points when Moreno really gets revved up, pushing all manner of levers and buttons and finessing the ivories, it is (to paraphrase another Oscar contender tonight) extremely loud and incredibly close. Yet no one in the packed crowd at the latest showing of four short films (two-reelers, in the vernacular) minded.
As moviegoer David Whyte observed, "You get used to the loudness because you get so into watching the movie."
Whyte, as with many in attendance, is a silent fan. Stockton physician Joe Serra and wife Dorothy say they enjoy both the simplicity of the plot and the attention viewers must pay to discern exactly what the mute thespians are trying to convey. Devin Landreth of Lodi is a regular, too, and not just for Harmony Wynelands' sublime zinfandel.
"It's nostalgia," he said. "Well, I shouldn't say nostalgia because I wasn't there the first time. But you know what I mean."
Then again, for people like Audrey Lachendro of Lodi, the movies are just a sideshow. The star, in her eyes, is Moreno, a Carmichael resident who has played at Harmony for four years and also plies his art at the Ironstone Winery in Murphys.
Moreno, nattily dressed in a midnight-blue satin shirt and yellow checked vest, is the consummate showman, peppering his performance with corny jokes between films, including a friendly swipe at Lodi. After opening with a peppy rendition of "Hooray for Hollywood," Moreno told the crowd, "We have a raffle. Last time, second prize was a weekend in Lodi. First prize was not having to go to Lodi at all."
Rimshot, please.
Actually, Moreno could have provided his own. The pipe organ can mimic almost any instrument you could imagine, from a Spanish marimba to orchestral oboe, from glockenspiel to tuba. Want special effects? Moreno can offer up sounds like a doorbell, bird chirps and a steamboat whistle.
But his playing is neither willy-nilly nor over-the-top. The sanctity of the feature film is paramount.
"I support the film; I'm the human soundtrack," Moreno said. "I watch the film several times before I come up with the appropriate music. I make sure the music is from the same time period as the film. In the silent days, they sent you a suggested list, like a score. Or they'd tell you what type of music went with a certain scene. They called that a cue sheet.
"During its heyday, when silent films were coming out one right after another, the organist didn't really have enough time and they'd have to do it cold. They got into trouble with that. I read about an organist back then who was playing an Army marching song for soldiers walking around (on screen). Everyone (in the audience) was laughing. He finally realized it was the German army up there."
This night, with Laurel mugging as a wily prisoner in a 1918 film called "No Place Like Jail," Moreno launched into "I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover." OK, so the song was written in 1927, nine years after the film's release. That's mere quibbling; the tune fit the scene.
The thing is, Moreno never lingers on a particular song. Just as the action is quick-cutting on the screen, Moreno segues from song snippet to sound effect in an eye blink.
"I like to get here early so I can sit where I can see him move his hands," moviegoer Lachendro said. "I'll watch him as much as the movie."
Lest we forget, the movie is a draw, too, said Hartzell, who runs the winery with his wife, Linda, and son Shaun. (Shaun, by the way, took the Silent Movie Night as inspiration for the winery's newest label, Pipe Dreams.)
Hartzell, 77, fondly recalls the childhood pleasure of listening to a pipe organ at a movie house in his native San Rafael. So he bought the old Castro organ in 1986 and hooked up with Moreno a few years ago.
"There's a surprisingly large following of silent movies," Hartzell said. "It's not often anymore you can get a big belly laugh from a movie. Well, this is it."
Laughter did, indeed, echo around the old barn as that scamp Laurel outsmarted the prison warden. At times, it almost drowned out the organ.

24 Hours To Help Prevent Diabetes
Are you willing to devote twenty-four hours of your time to a lifetime of better health? If the answer is yes – and you are at risk for diabetes – then the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is for you! The Diabetes Prevention Program is a nationally proven program for preventing diabetes through lifestyle changes. It consists of 16 weekly one-hour sessions, followed by 6 to 8 monthly sessions. The sessions will address healthy lifestyle changes - specifically healthy eating and being physically active.
The Diabetes Prevention Program will start on Thursday, November 13, at the Catherine Street Annex where Public Health and the Office for the Aging are located. This free program is for people with pre-diabetes, a history of gestational diabetes, or who are at-risk for developing diabetes. Trained Lifestyle Coaches lead the classes.
Our community has higher rates of diabetes - 9.9% of the people in Franklin County have diabetes, compared to 7.8% of the US population, according to the New York State Department of Health. Even more people have pre-diabetes (an estimated 35% of the population age 20 and older). These individuals have the early warning signs of diabetes and many are not even aware of it. In the original study seniors had the best results for preventing diabetes. This shows that it is never too late to make healthy lifestyle changes.
Here is a powerful quote from a local community member who completed the program: "The Diabetes Prevention Program gave me my life back. The last 12 months were the best physically I have ever felt. I went from feeling sluggish to feeling energized. I learned how to take better care of me to stay healthy… I hadn't really exercised in 10 years. A year ago I was looking at high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, hip replacement and a knee replacement. Through awareness, hard work, and exercise, I have lowered my blood pressure, lowered my blood sugar counts, and with the weight loss move better than ever expected. I will eventually need those surgeries, but not today."
This project is a collaboration of Alice Hyde Medical Center, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Franklin County, Eastern Adirondack Health Care Network, and Franklin County Public Health. Please call 518-481-2474 to see if you or a loved one qualifies for the program. There is no cost, but registration is required.

"Our seniors shouldn't have to choose between paying for food, heat, or medication. We hope that our donations can help make that choice easier," said Douglas DiVello, President at Alice Hyde Medical Center. The donations were presented to the Alice Hyde Medical Center Auxiliary, which is co-sponsoring the Food Drive with the Association of Senior Citizens in Franklin County, Inc. (ASCFC), sponsored by the Office for the Aging (OFA). The food drive will continue indefinitely, and donations can be dropped off at the main entrance of the Alice Hyde Medical Center.

Conference Paper: A new RNS architecture for the computation of the scaled 2D-DCT on field-programmable logic[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper shows the implementation of an 8/spl times/8 scaled two-dimensional Discrete Cosine Transform processor (2D-DCT) based on the Residue Number System (RNS). The row-column decomposition technique is used and each 1D-DCT processor has been derived by the application of a previously developed scaled Fast Cosine Transform (FCT) algorithm that requires a reduced number of multiplications. Simulations of binary 2's complement and RNS version of the scaled 2D-DCT processor using VHDL over Field-Programmable Logic (FPL) devices provide a throughput improvement for the proposed RNS-based 2D-DCT processor of up to 148% when 8-bit moduli are used. This is achieved due to the synergy between RNS and modern FPL device families.Signals, Systems and Computers, 2000. Conference Record of the Thirty-Fourth Asilomar Conference on; 02/2000
Conference Paper: A Pipelined Fast 2D-DCT Accelerator for FPGA-based SoCs.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Multimedia applications, and in particular the en- coding and decoding of standard image and video formats, are usually a typical target for Systems- on-Chip (SoC). The bi-dimensional Discrete Cosine Transformation (2D-DCT) is a commonly used fre- quency transformation in graphic compression algo- rithms. Many hardware implementations, adopting disparate algorithms, have been proposed for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA). These designs focus either on performance or area, and often do not succeed in balancing the two aspects. In this paper, we present a design of a fast 2D- DCT hardware accelerator for a FPGA-based SoC. This accelerator makes use of a single seven stages 1D-DCT pipeline able to alternate computation for the even and odd coefficients in every cycle. In addition, it uses special memories to perform the transpose opera- tions. Our hardware takes 80 clock cycles at 107MHz to generate a complete 8x8 2D DCT, from the writ- ing of the first input sample to the reading of the last result (including the overhead of the interface logic). We show that this architecture provides optimal per- formance/area ratio with respect to several alternative designs.2007 IEEE Computer Society Annual Symposium on VLSI (ISVLSI 2007), May 9-11, 2007, Porto Alegre, Brazil; 01/2007
Conference Paper: A new fast algorithm for 8×8 2-D DCT and its VLSI implementation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Due to the importance of the discrete cosine transform (DCT) in the field of transform coding of images, various algorithms and architectures for real-time 2-D DCT processor designs have been proposed. In this paper we present a new fast algorithm for 8×8 2-D DCT based on partial sum and its corresponding hardware architecture for VLSI realization. The algorithm costs fewest multipliers in theory and the system is a serial-in serial-out system. Theoretical proof and simulation results on FPGA devices show the efficiency of the algorithm. The kernel architecture corresponding to the algorithm is regular with lower complexity and performs high throughput.VLSI Design and Video Technology, 2005.

ABSTRUCT- Frequency analysis using discrete cosine
transform is being used in a large variety of algorithms such
as image processing algorithms. This paper proposes a new
high throughput architecture for the DCT processor. This
system has got a 2level architecture which uses parallelism
and pipelining and has been synthesized on Xilinx Virtex5
FPGA. Synthesis results show that this system works at
150MHz. Applying DCT on each 8x8 matrix of image take 67
clock pulses. In other words, applying DCT on each pixel
takes approximately one clock pulse.
Nowadays, with a high demand for video and image data
transmission and storage, compression is a must, in order to
achieve lower transmission time for high quality images, as
well as to use lower storage space. DCT plays a key role in
many compression standards such as JPEG2000 for still
image compression, ITU H.261 and ITU H.263 in
teleconferencing and ISO MPEG1 and MPEG2 for moving
pictures and home video.
Image compression using 2D-DCT includes several levels
including: pre-processing,
transform, quantization and coding. 2D-DCT is the most
computationally intensive phase of the encoding process
and accelerating it would dramatically reduce the whole
process time.
Several algorithms and implementation methods have been
proposed for DCT, spreading
implementations in DSPs to hardware implementations in
ASICs. Depending on the final objective and the
application, the best implementation option will be chosen.
Generally when the speed is a premise, hardware
implementation is the best option.
Many of the implementation methods for 2D-DCT
algorithms have been proposed to achieve reduction of the
computational complexity and thus increasing the
operational speed and throughput. 2D-DCT can be broken
down in two groups of N 1D-DCT, which is equivalent to
processing a data block by rows, followed by a column
processing or vice versa and this is called row/column
Algorithms and architectures for the 2D DCT can be
divided into two categories:
• row/column decomposition methods
• Non row/column decomposition methods

DCT has been implemented in form of different
architectures but two of them are more common: Systolic
architecture (SA) and Distributed Arithmetic (DA). [1], [2],
[3], [4].
FPGAs facilitate accessibility and configurability in
implementing hardware on a chip. The FPGA chip can be
placed in an actual circuit to be evaluated in real situations.
For DCT, there are different architectures which have been
represented so far.
Some architectures are systolic such as [5] which is a
reconfigurable 2D-DCT architecture and [6] which is
array-based architecture with high scalability and also [7].
Residue Number System (RNS) is used as a Row/column
decomposition technique
transformation algorithm on two dimensions using 1D-
DCT is implemented on FPGA in [3]. Several architectures
proposed distributed arithmetic (DA) for example [1]
which represents a fully parallel architecture based on Chen
et al's method or in [10] group distributed arithmetic
(GDA) combines the good features of cyclic convolution
and DA computation using shared ROM modules, barrier
shifters, and accumulators. In [11] a compressed distributed
arithmetic architecture for 2D 8x8 DCT is presented using
distributed arithmetic 1D-DCT architecture and in [12]
they combine the methods of the look-up table and row-
column overlapped operations using look-up tables and
shift registers to avoid the transpose operation and in this
design multipliers and transport RAMs are not used and
therefore it can achieve high speed and with less latency for
real-time applications. [13] Uses a recursive algorithm and
[14] and [15] are based on a frame-recursive approach
using two 1-D DCT arrays. [16] Is based on partial sum
and [4] is based on Lee algorithm with combined pipeline.
There are a lot of other architectures like [2] and [17].
This paper proposes a new architecture which is efficient in
speed because of its parallelism and pipe-lining. Section 2
is about discrete cosine transform and its aspects. The
proposed architecture is presented completely in section 3.
In that section 2 level architecture is defined and each level
is described individually then System function is shown in
a state machine. In section 4 we will see how this
architecture is implemented on hardware. Such as
architecture section, implementation is defined for both
levels individually. Section 5 is about simulation of the

system which uses sample data to verify the results. Section
6 is about synthesizing the design on FPGA and its reports.
Finally section 7 is about system analysis and how fast this
system is.
DCT is one of the major transformations which is used in a
lot of compression algorithms. DCT is a frequency
transform which is equivalent to the real part of the discrete
Fourier transform (DFT). 2D-DCT is very common in
image processing and specially image compression. It
affects a 2-dimensional matrix of natural values. Discrete
Cosine Transform receives an image matrix, which is
divided into smaller image blocks (4x4, 8x8, 16x16 ...)
where each block is transformed from the spatial domain to
the frequency domain. DCT decomposes signal into spatial
frequency components. The lower frequency parts appear
toward the first line/first column of the DCT matrix, and
the higher frequency parts are in the last line/last column of
the DCT matrix. This
multiplication of specific cosine coefficients in values of a
small block of image and summation of the products results
in new values for each pixel [18], [19], [4].
2D-DCT tends to be parallelized very well. It is common to
use 8x8 matrixes to simplify the calculations. DCT will be
applied on each 8x8 matrixes of the image and the formula
is like:
transformation includes

2 (
) 1
2 ()( ).(
F(u,v): values in transform domain
F(i,j): values in pixel domain
i, j: spatial coordinate in the pixel domain
u, v: coordinate in transform domain
Unlike many other architectures, in this paper we propose a
non row/column decomposition method which implements
the 2D-DCT directly. Each 8x8 matrix has got 64 elements
which for each (a,b) element (
procedure that results F(a,b) must be applied once.
Considering that the procedure for each element is
independent of other 63 elements and 64 cosine
coefficients, C(a) and C(b) for each (a,b) element have got
constant values independent of the value of f(a,b), the
calculation procedure for F(a,b) could be applied for each
element of 8x8 matrix simultaneously with 63 other
elements. In other words, there can be 64 parallel
procedures for 64 elements of 8x8 matrix.
≤≤ a
≤≤ b
) the
simultaneously, 64 similar calculation units, that every unit
has got its specific coefficients which depend on the value
of a and b for each unit , are needed. When one operational
cycle finishes, the final values of F(a,b) in all 64
calculation units are ready. For applying DCT on the whole
image matrix the image must be divided into 8x8 matrixes
without overlap. Then DCT operations must be applied to
all 8x8 matrixes individually.
The system which implements these operations must be in
charge of all these tasks:
• Reading 8x8 matrix values from related addresses of
• Controlling 64 calculation units for applying DCT on 8x8
matrix data
• Writing calculated data F(a,b) in related addresses of
• Shifting the 8x8 window to the next part of image when
an operational cycle is finished
• Declaring the end of whole operations (applying DCT to
the whole image)
A DCT processor, a source memory that stores primitive
values of image and a destination memory, which
calculated data will be stored on, are needed for designing
this system.
for calculating 64 values of F(a,b)
The DCT Processor has been designed in 2 levels in which
the high level unit is in charge of reading data from source
memory, transferring data to low level unit, reading
calculated data from low level unit and writing them on the
destination memory. On the other hand, the low level unit
is just in charge of applying DCT calculations on entered
data from high level unit.
High level unit includes several sub-units.
1) A counting unit as a sequence counter which is used for
defining the state of the system and driving signals based
on that state.
2) Reading register file includes 64 registers for read data
from source memory.
3) Calculation register file includes 64 registers for data
which are used by low level unit.
4) Writing register file includes 64 for data which must be
written in the destination memory
5) Image size registration unit includes 2 registers which
save the height and width size of the image.
6) Current coordinate of 8x8 matrix registration unit
includes 2 counters which show the coordinate of the first
element of 8x8 matrix in the image.
7) Address generator unit uses values of counting unit,
image size registration unit and current coordinate of 8x8
matrix registration unit to generate these addresses
Page 3
Fig1: high level unit block diagram
• Source memory address for reading data from
• Destination memory address for writing data in
• Current addresses of 3 register files
• Current coefficient address in low level unit
8) Control unit generates control signals for memories,
register files, high level sub units and low level sub units.
Control signals include enable and reset signals.
Low level unit includes 64 similar sub-units which differ
only in their coefficients. Each sub unit includes these
1) Coefficient memory includes 64 rows and in each row
there is the coefficient value which is related to one of the
combinations of i and j in DCT formula. In order to
simplify the calculations, every coefficients has been
multiplied by 2^16 = 65536.
2) Multiplication unit include a fast clock-free multiplier
which multiplies input data from high level unit by the
related coefficient from coefficient memory.
3) Accumulation unit has got the value of 0 at first and
after each clock pulse it adds the current result value with
the input value. Therefore, after 64 clock pulses it contains
the final value of F(a,b). the first 16bits must be eliminated
in order to division of the result by 2^16 = 65536.
At first state, system assigns width and height values of the
image via two related input pins and these values are stored
in image size registration unit. System also resets all other
registers in this state. System will go to state 1 by changing
an input signal which decides whether system is in
configuration state (start state) or process state (starts with
state 1).
Fig2: low level unit block diagram
Fig3: system state machine
At state 1, counting unit starts counting from 0 to 63 and by
getting to 64 it stops counting. During this counting period,
these actions will be happening:
• 64 new data are being read from source memory and
stored in reading register file.
• Those 64 data which have been read through the previous
cycle are being sent to 64 low level sub units for being
applied in DCT calculations. Coefficient memories in each
sub unit are being addressed by this counting from 0 to 63.
• Those 64 data which have been calculated through the
previous cycle are being written in the destination memory
By stopping the counting unit, system will go from state 1
to state 2.
At state 2, with first rising edge of clock pulse, data on the
reading register file will be moved to calculation register
file simultaneously and respectively. Also final values in
each calculation sub unit will be placed on each sub units
System will go from state 2 to state 3 immediately after this
edge of clock pulse.
At state 3, with first rising edge of clock pulse, 64
calculated final values in all sub units will be moved to
writing register file simultaneously and respectively.
System will go from state 3 to state 4 immediately after this
edge of clock pulse.
At state 4 two actions can happen.
Page 4
• If at state 1 of current cycle the last part of calculated
data on the writing register file was written on the
destination memory, system would go to final state with
first rising edge of clock pulse.
• If the previous condition was not correct then the
counting unit would be reset and system would start a new
cycle by going to state 1.
At final state, counting unit stops and an output signal
changes in order to declare the end of process.
implementation, simulation, analysis and testing in two
separate parts which are completely independent from each
other. High level unit acts as a commander which is in
charge of controlling system sequences, addressing
different parts, deciding to continue with or change the
current state of system and controlling every single element
either in high level unit or in low level unit. Low level unit
acts as a calculation core which gets command, data, and
required addresses from high level unit to do the
calculations of DCT which includes calculating the
summation of different products for achieving the result of
applying DCT on data.
this system in two levels facilitate
At the start state, 7bits counter and 3 flip-flops in counting
unit are reset. After transition to state 1, 7bits counter starts
up-counting. When it gets to 64(7th bit gets to '1'), it will
stop counting and enable signal for first flip-flop will
change into '1' simultaneously. Now, first flip-flop gets to
'1' by first rising clock pulse. This change makes the enable
signal for first flip-flop return to '0' and the enable signal
for second flip-flop will change into '1' simultaneously.
Then, second flip-flop gets to '1' by first rising clock pulse.
This change makes the enable signal for second flip-flop
return to '0' and the enable signal for third flip-flop will
change into '1' simultaneously. After that, third flip-flop
gets to '1' by first rising clock pulse. This change causes
resetting 7bits counter. 0 value of the counter makes the
first flip-flop reset. '0' value of the first flip-flop makes the
second flip-flop reset. '0' value of the second flip-flop
makes the third flip-flop reset. '0' value of the third flip-flop
causes ending the reset state of 7bits counter. In other
words, 7bits counter will be able to start counting again
right after the change from '1' to '0' of third flip-flop. Only
if the current cycle is the last cycle of system, the whole
counting unit will stop instead of starting counting again. In
this case system will go to final state and an output signal
declares the end of process.
This unit includes 64 independent calculation sub-units
which work concurrently on 16bits input data. Every sub-
unit's structure is the same with others and the only
difference between them is their coefficient values which
are stored in their coefficient memory. By counting from 0
to 63 in counting unit, related coefficient in each sub-unit
multiplies by related 16bits data from calculation register
file. On each iteration, current result will be added to the
summation of all the previous results. When counting unit
reaches 64, the summation of products of 64 data with 64
coefficients will be available on a register in every sub-
unit. These 64 values would be the final values of an 8x8
matrix after DCT operations. In other words, since 64 sub-
units calculate the final data concurrently, when counting
unit reaches 64, 64 stored values in 64 calculation sub-units
would be the result of DCT on 64 data stored on
calculation register file. Those registers which are
containing final data in sub-units are connected to 64
registers in writing register file respectively. On the next
rising edge of clock pulse, data will be copied into the
related registers in writing register file.
It must be mentioned that coefficient memory in each sub-
unit includes 64 signed values which have been calculated
by a MATLAB function. Values for each sub-unit depends
on the sub-unit's coordinate in 8x8 matrix of sub units
related to the formula of DCT.
The implementation of the system has been done using
VHDL modeling including two separate modules for high
level unit and low level unit and they have been integrated
in a bigger module called DCT processor containing high
level unit and 64 sub-units of the low level unit. Then the
whole model has been simulated in ModelSim SE 6.0 for
verification test. Also, DCT function has been written in
MATLAB 7.8 to apply DCT mathematical function on the
same data to confirm the results. Results of the simulated
system are the same with original results of MATLAB for
same data with a small error which is negligible. After
comparing results of DCT processor and MATLAB
function, the design has been verified.
After verification, the whole system has been synthesized
on FPGA using Xilinx ISE. The device properties are
presented in the following table.

This method for architecture and implementation of a DCT
processor has got a very high time efficiency because of its
parallelism and pipe-lining in reading from memory,
calculation and writing in memory. Assuming the same
DCT processor but with a single calculation unit (no
parallelism) and without pipe-lining, it would take 64 clock
pulses for reading a 8x8 matrix of data from memory,
64×64=4096 clock pulses for calculating the results of
applying DCT on 8x8 matrix and 64 clock pulses for
writing the 8x8 matrix of final data on memory. This
means it takes 4224 clock pulses for every 8x8 matrix of
image. To sum up, it would take 66n clock pulses for an
image which has n pixels. On the other hand, for the
system which has been described in this paper, each cycle
takes 67 clock pulses. Applying DCT on an image

works approximately 1 pixel in 1 clock pulse.
Thus, this DCT which has been synthesized on vitrex5
FPGA and functions in 150MHz can work real-time for an
NTSC (30fps) video with 4.7 mega pixel size.
In this paper we have proposed a new high throughput
design for discrete cosine transform which can be used in
real-time systems. Using parallelism in calculations for 64
different parts and having a pipeline for reading,
calculating and writing data provides us with a dramatic
speed in applying DCT on an image. On the other hand,
calculating the coefficients for each calculation part and
storing it on a ROM saves a lot of time and hardware
complexity. Of course, implementing this design on ASIC
will decrease delays and increase the system frequency.
Therefore, it can work on larger images and videos with
higher qualities.
This system for instance can function in a digital camera as
a co-processor to be in charge of compression and decrease
the burden on the main processor.
This system can also be used as IDCT processor just by
adding another ROM for new coefficients because the
algorithm is completely the same with DCT. Furthermore,
by adding quantizer, encoder, decoder and inverse
quantizer to DCT/IDCT processor we can design a
compressor/decompressor system as a full package.
Compressor/decompressor system can work as a co-
processor in an image processing system.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Hello: Sorry about all the calls and e-mails yesterday ~ it appears that we had a problem with yahoo email and receiving your confirmations. But I had your staff send the confirmations to my work e-mail and all is good. Your staff was very helpful, customer service friendly and courteous and I think your agency is great! My wife is a travel/booking agent and she agrees with me and plans to use your services in the future to book excursions for her clients. Thanks again and have a good day;
Michael Weinberger ~ not given
Sherri, I was browsing Cozumel Websites the last few days. I came across yours. I have never found a website so detailed to a destination in my life! You supply all the information a traveler could ever want!
You give us how to get there, what to do while we are there, where to stay, how to travel, what to do if we get sick, where to eat, and it just goes on and on!
Thank you for taking the time that you spent in making this my new favorite site!
I wish every vacation destination had a site like this! BRAVO!
Jim Piere ~ Simi Valley CA 93063
Wow! You have been so helpful Sherri! thank you so very much for taking the time in giving me so much details that would help me with the excursions! you are so sweet! if I have any other questions I will be sure to let you know. Thank you again for being so helpful! Have a blessed day! :)
K. Shields ~ Little Rock, Arkansas USA
Thanks for a great website and facebook page. I can hardly wait to get back to my favorite island!
Joey & Amy ~ USA
It is very cold here, it snowed last night. Welcome home to us right?! Just wanted to send an email thanking you for making our experience the best ever in sunny Cozumel. We wanted to let you know that the day we spent at your PalMar Beach Club we had your homemade tamales, (which are my favorite, by the way!) and they were excellent. Also we think that you have very good employees, Juan (there at the beach club/your house) we especially appreciated him, he treated us very well and we just wanted you to know that. Thanks again for the ride to the ferry, we made the 10:00! Also we were very thankful for your advice to stay there in Playa. We were able to get a room and just enjoy our last day on the beach which is what I really wanted. We were within walking distance from the bus that took us to the airport the next morning so it was all very convenient. You were very helpful and we will definately recommend your villas to anyone going there in the future.
