- Suggested Course Sequence
A list of the twenty greatest engineering achievements of the twentieth century compiled by the National Academy of Engineering includes ten achievements primarily related to the field of electrical engineering: electrification, electronics, radio and television, computers, telephone, internet, imaging, household appliances, health technologies, and laser and fiber optics. The remaining achievements in the list - automobile, airplane, water supply and distribution, agricultural mechanization, air conditioning and refrigeration, highways, spacecraft, petroleum/petrochemical technologies, nuclear technologies, and high-performance materials - also require knowledge of electrical engineering to differing degrees. In the twenty-first century the discipline of electrical engineering continues to be one of the primary drivers of change and progress in technology and standards of living around the globe.
Educational ObjectivesThe Electrical Engineering (EE) curriculum is administered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). The Educational Objectives of the department's programs are based on the mission of the department and the perceived needs of the constituents, and consistent with Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC2K) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The mission statement has a preamble followed by declarations of four interconnected commitments: to students, to faculty, to alumni, and to the State of Illinois, with the understanding that the latter two include industry. There are four Program Educational Objectives for the EE program:
- Depth. To provide students with understanding of the fundamental knowledge prerequisite for the practice of, or for advanced study in, electrical engineering, including its scientific principles, rigorous analysis, and creative design.
- Breadth. To provide students with the broad education, including knowledge of important current issues in engineering with emphasis on electrical engineering, necessary for productive careers in the public or private sectors, or for the pursuit of graduate education.
- Professionalism. To develop skills for clear communication and responsible teamwork, and to inculcate professional attitudes and ethics, so that students are prepared for the complex modern work environment and for lifelong learning.
- Learning Environment. To provide an environment that enables students to pursue their goals in an innovative program that is rigorous and challenging, open and supportive.
To prepare the student for the Program Educational Objectives to be achieved, a set of Program Outcomes, that is, statements that describe what students are expected to know and are able to do by the time of graduation, have been adopted. These Outcomes, which parallel the ABET EC2K Criterion 3 list of outcomes and the applicable Program Criteria, are:
- Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
- Ability to design and conduct experiments as well as analyze and interpret data
- Ability to design a system to meet desired needs
- Ability to function on multidisciplinary teams
- Ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
- Understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
- Ability to communicate effectively
- Broad education necessary to understand impact of engineering solutions in a global/societal context
- Recognition of the need for and ability to engage in lifelong learning
- Knowledge of contemporary issues
- Ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
- Knowledge of probability and statistics, including applications to electrical engineering
- Knowledge of mathematics, and basic and engineering sciences, necessary to carry out analysis and design appropriate to electrical engineering
- Knowledge of advanced mathematics
The Importance of the First Year ECE Experience
First year students take ECE 110, Introduction to Electrical and Computer Engineering, a four credit hour class combining theory, laboratory measurement, and design. Not only do beginning students get a substantive course in their major, they also gain a better appreciation for the basic science and mathematics courses which are taken during the first two years of study. Students gain first hand experience in the activities of a professional electrical engineer and are better able to make the important decision as to whether they have chosen the major best suited to them.
Intellectual Content of the EE Curriculum
Student involvement in the electrical engineering discipline increases during each year of the program. Most of the core EE courses are taken in the fourth and fifth semesters. During the last three semesters the student chooses electives to define a curriculum to meet specific educational and/or career needs.
The electrical engineering core curriculum focuses on fundamental electrical engineering knowledge: circuits (ECE 110), systems (ECE 210), electromagnetics (ECE 329), solid state electronics (ECE340), computer engineering (ECE 290, ECE 385), computer science (ECE 190 or CS 125), and design (ECE 445). The rich set of ECE elective courses permits students to select from collections of courses from the seven areas of electrical and computer engineering: bioengineering, acoustics, and magnetic resonance engineering; circuits and signal processing; communication and control; computer engineering; electromagnetics, optics, and remote sensing; microelectronics and quantum electronics; power and energy systems.
To avoid a specialization that is too narrow and in preparation for taking courses from the seven areas, the students are required to take three selections from a list of five second-level core courses: Digital Signal Processing (ECE 410); Power Circuits and Electromechanics (ECE 430); Lines, Fields and Waves (ECE 450); Electronic Circuits and Electronic Circuits Laboratory (ECE 442 and ECE 443); and Computer Engineering II or Data Structures and Software Principles (ECE 390 or CS 225).
Methods of Instruction and Design Experience
Instruction is given using a combination of lecture, discussion, laboratory, and project methodologies of the highest quality. The large number of laboratory courses and superb access to advanced computer facilities provide excellent practical experience in the field. Laboratory and design work are emphasized throughout the curriculum beginning with Introduction to Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE 110). The sophomore year includes design experience in Introduction to Computer Engineering I (ECE 290) and the Digital Systems Laboratory (ECE 385). During the junior and senior years students gain further design experience in elective courses, including at least two laboratory courses, in their chosen subdiscipline. In the Senior Design Laboratory (ECE 445) students learn to combine all phases of an engineering project including design, analysis, construction, teamwork and reporting.
Honors Activity
Students wishing to do honors work are encouraged to apply to the James Scholar Program administered jointly by the College of Engineering and the ECE Department. In consultation with departmental honors advisors, students create and carry out honors activity contracts. They must also participate in the ECE Honors Seminar and are encouraged to participate in the yearly Undergraduate Honors Symposium. The department offers thesis courses and project opportunities for students wishing to graduate with Highest Honors.
Grade Point Average Requirements
A student must have a grade-point average of at least 2.0 (A=4.0) in ECE courses in order to remain in good standing and to graduate.
Junior Eligibility Rule (2.25 Rule)
To qualify for registration for the ECE courses shown in the third year of the curriculum, a student must have completed, with a combined 2.25 grade point average, the mathematics, physics, computer science, and electrical and computer engineering courses shown in the first two years.

Absoloutly loved this hotel! Stayed for two nights for my boyfriends birthday .. Hotel in a great location near the station and very easy to find . V modern hotel , rooms cleans And beautiful ! The shower is massive . Would deffinetly return . Staff are very helpful , helped us decide where to go for a meal on a night to suit us . Breakfast in a morning was gorgeous and loved the style of the buffet breakfast was everything from bacon , sausages , crumpets , crosients , fruit , cereal and yogs - Anonymous
Everything about this place is impressive from the first meeting to the
checking out process Chris on reception is a superb example and many
other hotels could do well just watching his manner and hoping to
emulate his style The room surpassed all expectations and our stay could
not have been better there is a cracking pool and breakfast was one of
the finest ever sampled in a uk hotel I can only thank the staff at the
Kilima for saving what was nearly a complete disaster of a trip away - Anonymous
The staff were extremely helpful and suggested that we change our roomto meet my mother's needs (she'd hurt her foot at work and is scared oftravelling in lifts so we'd have needed to climb 6 floors to get to ourroom). They couldn't do enough to help and with the stress of Christmasthis really was a refreshing break from the norm! - Anonymous
the staff from our arrival were more than helpfull, and went out there way to find us a nice resturant to eat in and made the reservation for us. the hotel and the staff were brilliant! - Jamie
Pleasant, helpful, professional staff with an effortless no fuss approach, relaxing spa afternoon, evening meal cooked to perfection with superb quality service. we have stayed in executive accomodation elsewhere that wasn't as luxurious as the standard room (with king size bed) we booked here, overall wonderfull experience. - Anonymous

Artyard's front room has been painted two different shades of yellowish green to set off the black welded-steel tables and shelves with plate-glass tops on which Meyer's pâte de verre pieces are displayed (see detail, above). Meyer has used lace doilies cast in wax to create the glass pieces that lie flat on the glass tops of the tables and shelves. She created the glass pâte using granules of mostly clear glass fired in a kiln -- hence the show's title.
The idea of using glass to make translucent if not transparent doilies is a very good one, since doilies themselves are redolent with narrative and even feminist political meaning. But one attribute of glass that Meyer has pushed to the breaking point, literally, is fragility. Several of the doilies were obviously broken or cracked in the kiln or just after being taken out, which is a pressing technical problem she urgently needs to solve if she's going to pursue this type of work.
Meyer has also covered the walls of Artyard with transfer prints made from the wax-covered doilies that are a by-product of the making of the pâte de verre pieces. The prints, the glass doilies and the iron-and-glass furniture all work beautifully together.
Supplementing Meyer's show is a wall installation by Jeff Starr called Deep Storage, in which multicolored rectangular resin blocks encase abstract figures made of Sculpey clay. Some may be surprised to see the famous local painter displaying sculpture, but he's done it before. Starr uses the sculpted figures as models for his paintings.
Both shows close on May 15.

Tallahassee - The No. 36-ranked Florida State women's tennis team (9-7) take to the court on March 30 for a pair of matches against Florida A&M (5-7) at 12:00 p.m. and North Florida (9-4) at 6:00 p.m. Both matches will be held at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center.
There will be a ceremony between the doubles and singles portion of our noon match against FAMU to honor head coach Jennifer Hyde on becoming Florida State's winningest women's tennis coach. She accomplished the feat on March 22 with the Seminoles' 5-2 win at NC State.
"We've been hitting the road quite a bit, so it is nice to be home," said Hyde. "We have a big weekend coming up with North Florida and Florida A&M. North Florida is a good school. They have improved a ton in the last couple of years with their new, young and energetic head coach that came in. We have to be ready and work hard to get prepared."
The 'Noles are 11-1 in their last 12 non-conference home matches at either the Scott Speicher Tennis Center or the Indoor Tennis Facility. Florida State defeated Stetson (4-2), UAB (4-1), LSU (4-1) and Mercer (7-0) and earlier this season at the Indoor Tennis Facility and took down No. 62 USF, 5-1, at the outdoor courts.
Florida State is 7-1 versus the UNF Ospreys all-time and has won all 10 matches played against Florida A&M in program history. The lone loss to North Florida came in 1988 as the Ospreys defeated FSU by a score of 6-3.
Junior Kerrie Cartwright leads the Seminoles with an 18-9 singles record with a 5-3 mark in conference play while Daneika Borthwick (14-10) and Mia Vriens (12-5) also are 5-3 against ACC opponents.
Senior Kristina Schleich lost a close three-setter last time out against No. 94 Alyssa Smith of Duke, 5-7, 6-1, 0-6. She is 6-6 in her last 12 singles matches, but only one of those six losses were in straight sets.
FSU's doubles team of Daniela Schippers and Vriens are 5-2 with spring and are currently on a three match winning streak on court number two together. Overall, each of them are undefeated against conference opponents during doubles.

Hope someone can help with this.
Work in a primary school with a standard (i.e. NOT RM) Windows domain. Primary domain controller is running Windows Server 2008 R2.
We have a mixed bag of XP, Vista, Win 7 and (recently) Win 8 machines running IE, because of rolling upgrades to equipment. Our machines have to connect to the Internet via a central Proxy server. Until 4 Win 8 pro laptops arrived the other day, all ran happily. Proxy information was retrieved and applied, drives mapped happily and the machines talked away merrily. I had lots more hair than now! :-)
Then came Windows 8. It refused to do as it was told via the GPO.
I know that MS have removed Internet Explorer Maintenance from the GPO Editor, which happily deployed the proxy server details to all the machines in the Domain.
I have managed to create a new Default Domain GPO which pushes the proxy server info to Win 8 / 7 machines via the registry, but these changes are not reflected in the XP machines.
1) Is installing/deploying the client side extensions hot fix to the XP machines sufficient to get them to apply the registry settings for the proxy server?
2) If not, is it possible to create another registry GPO object to push to those (XP) machines only, by placing them in a separate group?
3) If these options are not possible, is it possible to configure Win Server 2008R2 to send proxy info via DHCP so that IE can automatically discover it?
Many thanks in advance,

Common Questions and Answers about Azithromycin and blood pressure
If someone here who has used

Bart could help comfort me in my decision to continue with the
therapy that would be great. Below are my concerns: I am still confused as to whether or not I am experiencing adverse drug effects or a 'herx.' It is difficult to know because this disease has literally affected every tissue in my body. However, there are a couple things that make me suspicious of a drug allergy/adverse effect. 1.

Dizziness is unlikely to be caused by high
unless it is excessively high

fluctuation between high blood pressure and low blood pressure. On the other hand, if you have never had high blood pressure in the past a complete evaluation, including testing for unusual causes of high blood pressure should be performed, even if you did not have dizziness.

Most folks here think it is something in the environment like all the dust that is covering everything that is causing my symptoms. Every morning, I blow my nose
there is alot of brown
in it. After I shower,
blow again, there are smaller spots. After that it stays fairly clear until the next morning. The headache or pressure in my head is constant; however, is not really painful.

I then went to a more progressive ENT in 2005 who did an ethmoidectomy (removed the sinuses from between my eyes)

And this is with an aspirin a day. I wonder now what. My cholesterol

I would be happy w/ these result, except yesterday evening- six days post the event- my bladder started to feel like there was
on it
a frequent need to urinate. This ordeal, however, has caused me a great deal of stress because I'm usually not one to take sexual risks and I do wonder if my symptoms are psychosomatic or the result of drinking a lot of water to make myself urinate- given the results of tests came out negative- or if I actually have an NGU infection.

I became concered about STD's and had a stange feeling in my uretra and what seems to be my uterers
in my kidneys. 5 to 6 days after exposure I was tested at a STD clinic for gonnorea, chlamidya etc and all came back negative. The doctor also gave me 1 dose of azithromyacin, just in case. After the Azithro all symptoms dissapeared for about a week, and after that sypmtoms came back, a dull urethral pain, but no discharge. Pain was mainly near the tip and NOT during urination.

Often my brain feels like it's shaking inside my skull, odd as it sounds,
I feel like my head is pounding, as if I am suddenly VERY aware of the

Levofloxacin (Levaquin) is excellent treatment against both gonorrhea and chlamydia--not the first choice, but that's only because it is much more expensive than single-dose treatment with the recommended drugs, cefixime,
a couple others. Yes, within a few days that treatment would make any test for those infections negative.

I would say it's possible I imagined it all (with no discharge or elevated WBCs in urine) but the confirmed swollen lymph node, red

Another thing that has been odd lately is that my blood pressure has been elevated a bit the last two times I have had it taken. My

Morning all.
Touch of OCD around here too Dan, sympathies..... Any tips for short term memory loss? My usual stategies not working recently.
Rain again here, not too heavy at the mo. Inside tasks were on the cards for today anyway. Hoover reassembled so can now use it. Waiting on call from local mechanic to finalise when he can do my cars' MOT & service, but have a back up plan should things not work out.
Jean- am on 2cnd coffee & just realised forgot to order more when did Tesco. Drat! Still have plenty, I hope, but none in reserve. J.
Hi all.
Have had a 'busy' day doing nothing much! Turned out rather pleasant after all, not hot, just warm enough to sit outside with lunch, then a bulb catalogue & pad & pen! Have to actually order them, but have been quite restrained really. Use them for 'choice' items & pop into local Parkers GC for the basics if need more. Did also do some deadheading & made more notes 'to do' as the year progresses. Didnt get much done last year, nor the previous, when was living at Dads', so much moving & splitting of plants needed this.
Discovered that am missing Southport Flower Show yet again! Started today, oops, forecast c**p for tomorrow & am off out Saturday & Sunday! One year I'll make it again.....
Had courgette & tomato garlicy pasta with lots of Wenslydale cheese & basil scattered on top. Yummy. No room for a pud!
Ok some ironing awaits. J.
Actually turned out rather nice today.
We had a short shower early on then it's been bright & breezy for the rest of the day. Think it reached about 19-20C & in the sun certainly felt good. J.
Unwanted seedlings from homemade compost when used as a mulch, now means that anything I dont want an excess of, does get put into my council garden waste wheely bin. Their systems really get hot & so the seeds dont survive. Ok an excess of Mysotis & Aquilega were very pretty but took quite an effort to sort out.
BTW always put potato peelings into my bin & yes, the odd potato plant also pops up.
I also use bought seed compost. Am lazy & dont always seive mine, nor do I want to use my microwave to sterilise it. J.
Too right Frank. Would love a new greenhouse, but not on the cards. So shall continue to spend every windy day/night wondering if the roof panels are still around- at least when they do flip out they dont shatter nor do any real damage.
Over the winter any plants stored in there are well covered with fleece & cloches & so far so good. One of the panels has actually slipped down so a permanent small gap at the top ridge. That will need to be pushed back up before the colder weather. OH will have to do that for me, with much muttering no doubt.
Think you've been very lucky with the weather. Rain stopped here now & have reopened various house windows so cooling down. J.
Great minds think alike Geoff. Just watched BG on i-player. J.
Meant to say behave as a toddler J.
Ooh I could try that I suppose if I accidentally pick a call up. It's actually very hard to let it go to answer machine when you are around to answer in person.
Wonder if/when will get my call to inteview re benefits? Once my medical condition was noted all letters, need for sicknotes etc ceased & they leave you be. Cant last can it?
Thx for the scam advice. Did speak to OH who said just that. We do have an answerphone, so must just leave any calls to go to that. Genuine people will leave a message. Then dont have to be polite to a distant relative, not mine, who religiously rings every week to check up on me. Now I know I shouldnt mind, but it does get rather wearing.....
We've just had an almightty storm. Now not the best time to discover that the extension guttering needs clearing out- OH doesnt 'do' ladders/steps & as only 5'2'' I'm not a happy bunny up them either. J.
And I thought that was bad! We've just had an almighty storm. Never seen rain like it coming from that direction- opposite to usual. Windows got shut, now to cook as very warm in here. Realised that the guttering to an extension just isnt coping, or more likely needs clearing out.
At least the greenhouse polycarbonate panels stayed put. They're not proper g/house panels, just single sheets we had cut to size & fitted ourselves. I freak everytime the wind is strong in the autumn & winter as they can flip out, but when have tomato plants growing in there it would be awful.
Rain is now stopping, phew. J.

Easy Company, 506th Airborne Division, U.S. Army, was as good a rifle company as any in the world. From their rigorous training in Georgia in 1942 to D-Day and victory, Ambrose tells the story of this remarkable company, which kept getting the tough assignments. Easy Company was responsible for everything from parachuting into France early D-Day morning to the capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden.
Band of Brothers is the account of the men of this remarkable unit who fought, went hungry, froze, and died, a company that took 150 percent casualities and considered the Purple Heart a badge of office. Drawing on hours of interviews with survivors as well as the soldiers' journals and letters, Stephen Ambrose tell the stories - often in the men's own words - of these American hereoes.
©1998 Stephen E. Ambrose (P)2012 Simon & Schuster
"A first-class explanation of what crack infantry troops are like....Addicts of military history will relish its finely detailed account.....Stephen Ambrose's thorough research and clear organization have produced a highly readable account of the heroic service of this "band of brothers" he so unstintedly admires." (San Francisco Chronicle)
"As a member of just such a unit...I am impressed by how well Mr. Ambrose has captured the true essence of a combat rifle company." (The New York Times Book Review)
"A valuable and fascinating record....In these pages, the reader can vicariously walk with the men of E Company, suffer and laugh with them." (The Times-Picayune)
"Greatest Generation"
Like most, I've seen the HBO series "Band of Brothers". I also wanted to go deeper into the story so I purchased the e-book as well as the audible version. I recently finished the book and have a new appreciation for the Greatest Generation. They truly deserve that name by the sacrifices they made to help make this country what it is today. The audio version of this book is excellent and the narrator does a terrific job. I am looking forward to reading more by this author and others on the topic!
"You HAVE to pick the Unabridged version"
Well told story of amazing men. Well done narration. Only better book by Ambrose is Pegasus Bridge which I haven't see as an audio book. These are such great men. Read this one first and then there are so many others that have come out since focused on individuals. There is so much great literature on Easy Company. This is the place to start.
Son. Brother. Wisconsinite. Optimistic Cubs fan. West Point. Stanford GSB. Working out, travel, and laughter.
"D-Day, Market Garden, Bastogne - Amazing!"
My deepest respect.
We Were Soldiers Once and Young
This was the first book i listened to on Audible.
No - I used it as a commuter book.
"Excellent unabridged book, average narration"
I appreciated this audiobook, even after seeing the HBO miniseries and listening to the abridged version of the audiobook. This unabridged version has quite a bit of additional detail that I had not heard (or seen) previously, and I enjoyed hearing the story over again. Tim Jerome's narration is competent though, to my ear, it was not as good as Cotter Smith's reading of the abridged version or as good as George Wilson's reading of Citizen Solders.
"The Facts Behind the Series"
I Didn't read the print version
The parts left out of the series and the facts that were part of the series
Good clear speaking voice that kept me wanting more
Band of Brothers of course
Wonderful book about factual events
"Everyone Needs to Know"
All American's need to be aware of the great sacrifices that the generations of these men gave for the freedoms that we take for granted daily. Stephen Ambrose is one of our countries greatest historians.
"High Expectations Met"
I've read this book several times and enjoyed the HBO series, so my expectations were quite high with this audiobook. Do not be put off by reviews that are dismissive of the narration. Tim Jerome's sober narration is entirely appropriate for this powerful work of nonfiction.
"a must for history buffs"
one of the best history writers of our time.... gripping
I listen to audio books on my hour commute each way to work. many times I have sat in my driveway unable to turn off the car.
"A classic tale of heroism and brotherhood"
Learning about citizen soldiers becoming heroes under horrifying conditions.
The DDay and Bastogne chapters read like a war novel.
Lisp lisp lisp
Yes. Both. A fabulous book.
Worth the listen
"GREAT book, Annoying Performance"
Moving, heartbreaking, inspiring.
Major Winters - read or listen to the book, it speaks for itself.
Unfortunately the narrator gave a fairly poor performance. While I can tell his heart was in it, he constantly mispronounced the names of characters and couldn't seem to decide on how he'd like to pronounce towns like Bastogne or Foy (flip-flopping between "Fwah" and "Foy") - minor complaints but they occur often enough to become annoying. By the way - Wild Bill's last name is pronounced "Gar-near" (or "Gwar-near" depending on how much of an accent you personally have), not "Gon-yare-eh." Never "Gon-yare-eh." Also, the narrator has a small but noticible speech impediment not unlike a lisp. Not a big problem, but if you focus on his voice too closely it can definitely detract from the book's material.
"Watch the HBO series that exists."
This book should be required reading for anyone interested in the U.S. paratroopers/airborne/military operations in Europe during WWII.
"A poignant story of heroism"
I came to the original story of Easy Company after watching the HBO TV miniseries of the same name. This audiobook has been an absolute favourite of mine and I have listened to it at least once a year ever since first downloading it. I find it particularly poignant to listen to this audiobook around Christmas mainly because I like to relate to their time in Bastogne during Christmas 1944 in some small way.
The story is very US-centric as it should be given the company it it follows, but underneath it all is the idea of voluntary sacrifice for a larger cause. There's also the dichotomy of belonging to the forces where the most hated person to command them was also their biggest asset in terms of bringing them together as a unit. Then there is the dichotomy of war where US E Company soldiers found that it was the Germans that they most related to in terms of their civil values.
It's a gripping story of morals, courage, heroism and sacrificie that sounds cliched until you listen to their story.
"As good as it gets"
The building of a cohesive unit and the value placed on training and preperation prior to battle.
Sick to death of the American 'limey bashing) i am sure if 1 - 6 Airborne had the amount of time to train as E Coy had they I think we would be writing about them (and perhaps should be). You need only to look at the recruits that came after to prove this and this is the same for all organisations under pressure.
Winters sounds to me like an outstanding indivicual - I have had the pleasure of meeting a few and would follow them to the end of the world.
Great audio book (less the comments on the British) and finished in record time - really enjoyed it.
It was down to earth.
Being of the generation that brought up to believe the Americans were bit players in World War 2, I found this book to very informative and enlightening.
"Just wow"
The fact that this was is a real life account of WW2 makes it pretty special
The humour, the wit has an awesome charm in the face of such devastating sadness
The last chapter was amazing, made me want to make the most of my life.
"Excellent and in depth a must have"
If you enjoyed watching the tv mini series you'll love this. The book is very well narrated to the point where you want more. It felt as though you were there but through the eyes of an observer. Compelling listening. Well written by Stephen Ambrose.
I enjoyed it so much i wanted more so i listened to 'Beyond Band of Brothers' by Dick Winters his personal memoires of the war. Highly recommended.
"Fascinating story!"
Great read! Moves along really quickly and gets across the comaraderie that existed between the men of Easy company. Highly recommend this story - you can completely understand why it was turned into a TV series.
"Fantastic, could not stop listening."
No, however it is a superb and compliments the print version.
Most of the book is memorable. I enjoyed the jump into Holland and the build up to D Day.
For me Winters stands out. However Tim brings all the personalities to life.
As in the TV series, Band of Brothers.
If you have watched the TV series I urge you to listen or read this book. There is far more stories, dialogue and events to enjoy. The TV series only covered a small percent of the story that is Easy Company.

Image Sequencer is an example application demonstrating the use of Nokia Imaging SDK's Image Aligner and GIF Renderer APIs for creating cinemagraph-style animations in animated GIF format. The image sequences are captured using sequence capture functionality of the device camera. User can manipulate the animation by limiting the animated area to a small rectangular section, and by stabilizing the images in order to eliminate camera shake. Animations with still backgrounds and minor repeated movement are commonly called cinemagraphs.
Application launches into a view where user can select a preset sequence for editing, or start a camera session for capturing a new photo sequence. The view also lists the previously saved GIF animations. User can view a saved animation by tapping the thumbnail.
In preview page user can see a preview of the animation with image stabilization and framing applied in real-time. Four actions are available in the application bar:
|Plays / pauses the animation.
|Enables / disables the image stabilization.
|Enables / disables the animation framing. When the framing is enabled, user can set the animated area by dragging.
|Saves the animation to isolated storage as an animated GIF file.
The application consists of six views.
Initialization and image stabilization
The animation preview is implemented in SequencePreviewPage class. When the SequencePreviewPage OnNavigatedTo method gets called, it receives a list of image StorageFiles as a parameter. In case of example sequence, an identifier is received. The ID is simply a filename suffix for image resource files stored in the project Assets/Sequences directory. The filename syntax is sequence.[id].[sequence index].jpg. A list of StorageFileImageSources is then created out of the provided files so they can be used by Nokia Imaging SDK APIs.
The list of StorageFileImageSources gets passed to PrepareImageSequence method. PrepareImageSequence method prepares the image sequence playback by creating an aligned copy of the image sequence by using the Image Aligner API. The application can then display either unaligned or aligned bitmaps in real time simply by rendering images either from the list of unaligned image providers, or the list of aligned image providers.
public async Task PrepareImageSequence(List<IImageProvider> imageProviders) { _unalignedImageProviders = imageProviders; _onScreenImageProviders = _unalignedImageProviders; ... using (ImageAligner imageAligner = new ImageAligner()) { imageAligner.Sources = _unalignedImageProviders; imageAligner.ReferenceSource = _unalignedImageProviders[0]; try { _alignedImageProviders = await imageAligner.AlignAsync(); ... } catch (Exception e) { // If align fails, fail silently but don't enable the align button on UI } }; }
DispatcherTimer is used for timing the animation. The timer is created in the SequencePreviewPage constructor and is controlled in Play and Stop methods. When running, it calls AnimationTimer_Tick method on 100 millisecond intervals. AnimationTimer_Tick method calls Render method to render the current frame and advances the index of the displayed frame, wrapping it when necessary.
private void AnimationTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs eventArgs) { Render(_animationIndex); if (_animationIndex == (_onScreenImageProviders.Count() - 1)) { _animationIndex = 0; } else { _animationIndex++; } }
In Render method the IImageProvider is rendered to the on-screen bitmap.
private void Render(IReadOnlyList<IImageProvider> imageProviders, int animationIndex, bool renderBackground = false) { if (_renderTask == null || _renderTask.IsCompleted) { _renderTask = DoRender(imageProviders, animationIndex, renderBackground); } } private async Task DoRender(IReadOnlyList<IImageProvider> imageProviders, int animationIndex, bool renderBackground = false) { if (_onScreenImageProviders[animationIndex] != null) { int imageWidth = imageProviders == _unalignedImageProviders ? _unalignedImageWidth : _alignedImageWidth; int imageHeight = imageProviders == _unalignedImageProviders ? _unalignedImageHeight : _alignedImageHeight; if (_foregroundBitmap == null || _foregroundBitmap.PixelWidth != imageWidth || _foregroundBitmap.PixelHeight != imageHeight) _foregroundBitmap = new WriteableBitmap(imageWidth, imageHeight); using (WriteableBitmapRenderer writeableBitmapRenderer = new WriteableBitmapRenderer(imageProviders[animationIndex], _foregroundBitmap)) { _foregroundBitmap = await writeableBitmapRenderer.RenderAsync(); } if (renderBackground) { if (_backgroundBitmap == null || _backgroundBitmap.PixelWidth != imageWidth || _backgroundBitmap.PixelHeight != imageHeight) _backgroundBitmap = new WriteableBitmap(imageWidth, imageHeight); using (WriteableBitmapRenderer writeableBitmapRenderer = new WriteableBitmapRenderer(imageProviders[0], _backgroundBitmap)) { _backgroundBitmap = await writeableBitmapRenderer.RenderAsync(); } } await CoreApplication.MainView.CoreWindow.Dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () => { _foregroundBitmap.Invalidate(); ImageElement.Source = _foregroundBitmap; if (renderBackground) { _backgroundBitmap.Invalidate(); ImageElementBackground.Source = _backgroundBitmap; } }); } }
Setting the animation boundaries
The animated area selection works by having the animation in two layers: background and foreground. In the preview page this works by having two overlapping Image elements, ImageElementBackground and ImageElement. The ImageElementBackground is always displaying the first frame of the sequence. The ImageElement displays the current frame, cropped to the selected area by using the Clip property of Image element. During animation playback only the ImageElement is being refreshed.
The cropped area can be adjusted by user by dragging the canvas. The drag events are handled in ImageElement_ManipulationDelta method. The animated area is indicated by drawing a white rectangle on top of the image elements.
When user taps the save icon, the previewed animation is exported as an animated GIF file. The GIF export happens in GifExporter class. It takes a list of IImageProviders as parameter, as well as an optional Rect representing the animated area.
The file is saved to pictures library. This requires the Pictures Library capability set in the package manifest. The saved files are available for viewing and sharing in Photos application, though the Photos image viewer does not play back the animation. The saved files are also accessible via the device file system. Note that we cannot use MediaLibrary API to store the GIF files to camera roll as it would convert the GIF files to still JPEG images.
public static async Task Export(IReadOnlyList<IImageProvider> images, Rect? animatedArea) { // List of aligned images may contain Null items if some images couldn't be aligned List<IImageProvider> sanitizedImages = new List<IImageProvider>(); foreach (IImageProvider image in images) { if (image != null) { sanitizedImages.Add(image); } } ImageProviderInfo info = await sanitizedImages[0].GetInfoAsync(); int w = (int)info.ImageSize.Width; int h = (int)info.ImageSize.Height; IReadOnlyList<IImageProvider> gifRendererSources; if (animatedArea.HasValue) { // Ensure the animated area dimensions are smaller than the image dimensions double rectW = animatedArea.Value.Width; double rectH = animatedArea.Value.Height; if ((animatedArea.Value.Width + animatedArea.Value.Left) >= w) { rectW = w - animatedArea.Value.Left - 1; } if ((animatedArea.Value.Top + animatedArea.Value.Height) >= h) { rectH = h - animatedArea.Value.Top - 1; } Rect rect = new Rect(animatedArea.Value.Left, animatedArea.Value.Top, rectW, rectH); gifRendererSources = CreateFramedAnimation(sanitizedImages, rect, w, h); } else { gifRendererSources = sanitizedImages; } using (GifRenderer gifRenderer = new GifRenderer()) { gifRenderer.Duration = 100; gifRenderer.NumberOfAnimationLoops = 10000; gifRenderer.Sources = gifRendererSources; var buffer = await gifRenderer.RenderAsync(); var filename = "Sequence" + (await GetFileNameRunningNumber()) + ".gif"; var storageFile = await KnownFolders.SavedPictures.CreateFileAsync(filename, CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting); using (var stream = await storageFile.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.ReadWrite)) { await stream.WriteAsync(buffer); } } }
If the animated area is defined, GifExporter creates a new list of IImageProviders containing images where only the animated area is changing. This is implemented by using a CropFilter to crop the animated area, and blending it on top of the static background using BlendFilter.
private static IReadOnlyList<IImageProvider> CreateFramedAnimation(IReadOnlyList<IImageProvider> images, Rect animationBounds, int w, int h) { List<IImageProvider> framedAnimation = new List<IImageProvider>(); foreach (IImageProvider frame in images) { FilterEffect cropFilterEffect = new FilterEffect(frame); cropFilterEffect.Filters = new List<IFilter>() { new CropFilter(animationBounds) }; FilterEffect blendFilterEffect = new FilterEffect(images[0]); BlendFilter blendFilter = new BlendFilter(); blendFilter.ForegroundSource = cropFilterEffect; blendFilter.Level = 1.0; blendFilter.BlendFunction = BlendFunction.Normal; blendFilter.TargetArea = new Rect( animationBounds.Left / w, animationBounds.Top / h, animationBounds.Width / w, animationBounds.Height / h ); blendFilterEffect.Filters = new List<IFilter>() { blendFilter }; framedAnimation.Add(blendFilterEffect); } return framedAnimation; }
Sequence capture is implemented in SequenceCapturePage class. A MediaCapture object for controlling the phone back camera is initialized in InitializeMediaCapture method, called in the OnNavigatedTo method of the page.
... _mediaCapture = new MediaCapture(); var devices = await DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync(DeviceClass.VideoCapture); var backCamera = devices.FirstOrDefault(x => x.EnclosureLocation != null && x.EnclosureLocation.Panel == Windows.Devices.Enumeration.Panel.Back); await _mediaCapture.InitializeAsync(new MediaCaptureInitializationSettings { StreamingCaptureMode = StreamingCaptureMode.Video, PhotoCaptureSource = PhotoCaptureSource.Auto, AudioDeviceId = string.Empty, VideoDeviceId = backCamera.Id }); ...
The SequenceCapturePage XAML tree contains a CaptureElement that is used to display the camera viewfinder image. We just need to set the previously initialized MediaCapture object as the source of the CaptureElement, and start the preview:
... captureElement.Source = _mediaCapture; await _mediaCapture.StartPreviewAsync(); ...
MediaCapture.PrepareLowLagPhotoSequenceCaptureAsync method is then used to initialize photo sequence capture. It returns a LowLagPhotoSequenceCapture object, which can be used to control the sequence capture.
... var format = ImageEncodingProperties.CreateJpeg(); format.Width = 640; format.Height = 480; _variablePhotoSequenceCapture = await _mediaCapture.PrepareLowLagPhotoSequenceCaptureAsync(format); ...
A handler is added for the PhotoCaptured event that is triggered on each captured image. Whenever a shot gets taken, it gets saved to a temporary folder to be used later. In Image Sequencer the amount of captured images is limited to 20 due to memory usage concerns on low end devices.
... _variablePhotoSequenceCapture.PhotoCaptured += OnPhotoCaptured; ... public void OnPhotoCaptured(LowLagPhotoSequenceCapture s, PhotoCapturedEventArgs e) { if (_fileIndex < AMOUNT_OF_FRAMES_IN_SEQUENCE) { if (_saveTask == null) { _saveTask = Save(e.Frame, _fileIndex++); } else { _saveTask = _saveTask.ContinueWith(t => Save(e.Frame, _fileIndex++)); } } else { StopSequenceCapture(); } } private async Task Save(IRandomAccessStream frame, int i) { var filename = "ImageSequencer." + i + ".jpg"; var folder = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.TemporaryFolder; var storageFile = await folder.CreateFileAsync(filename, CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting); var stream = await storageFile.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.ReadWrite); await RandomAccessStream.CopyAndCloseAsync(frame, stream); _files.Add(storageFile); }
The photo sequence capture can be started and stopped using the StartAsync and StopAsync methods of the LowLagPhotoSequenceCapture. Use FinishAsync to release the resources used by the photo sequence operation. These methods are used in the event handlers of hardware camera button and the on-screen capture button.
Using video preview images for capturing image sequences
Not all devices support photo sequence capture. You can use the MediaCapture.VideoDeviceController.LowLagPhotoSequence.Supported property to check if sequence capture is supported by the device running your application. For unsupported devices you can implement a fall-back by using video preview to capture sequences of images. This can be done easily using the CameraPreviewImageSource of Nokia Imaging SDK.
The CameraPreviewImageSource is initialized similarly to the LowLagPhotoSequenceCapture:
public async void InitializeAsync() { // Create a camera preview image source (from Imaging SDK) _cameraPreviewImageSource = new CameraPreviewImageSource(); await _cameraPreviewImageSource.InitializeAsync(string.Empty); var properties = await _cameraPreviewImageSource.StartPreviewAsync(); // Create a preview bitmap with the correct aspect ratio var width = 640.0; var height = (width / properties.Width) * properties.Height; _writeableBitmap = new WriteableBitmap((int)width, (int)height); captureElement.Source = _writeableBitmap; _writeableBitmapRenderer = new WriteableBitmapRenderer(); _jpegRenderer = new JpegRenderer(); // Attach preview frame delegate _cameraPreviewImageSource.PreviewFrameAvailable += OnPreviewFrameAvailable; }
Instead of using CaptureElement for displaying the viewfinder, a regular Image control is used for displaying the images provided by the CameraPreviewImageSource. If sequence capture is ongoing, the image is saved to JPG file using Nokia Imaging SDK JpegRenderer.
private void OnPreviewFrameAvailable(IImageSize args) { _renderTask = Render(); } private async Task Render() { if (!_rendering && !_stop) { _rendering = true; // Render camera preview frame to screen _writeableBitmapRenderer.Source = _cameraPreviewImageSource; _writeableBitmapRenderer.WriteableBitmap = _writeableBitmap; await _writeableBitmapRenderer.RenderAsync(); await Windows.ApplicationModel.Core.CoreApplication.MainView.CoreWindow.Dispatcher.RunAsync( CoreDispatcherPriority.High, () => { _writeableBitmap.Invalidate(); }); // Write camera preview frame to a file if capturing if (_capturing) { if (_sequenceIndex < 20) { _jpegRenderer.Source = _cameraPreviewImageSource; IBuffer jpg = await _jpegRenderer.RenderAsync(); await Save(jpg, _sequenceIndex++); } else { StartStopCapture(); } } _rendering = false; } if (_stop) { _capturing = false; _cameraPreviewImageSource.Dispose(); _writeableBitmapRenderer.Dispose(); _jpegRenderer.Dispose(); } }
No standard XAML control exists for displaying animated GIFs, so we need to decode the GIF frames manually by using BitmapDecoder. This is done in GifPage class.
BitmapDecoder provides us access to the animation frames in a GIF file. The GIFs generated by Nokia Imaging SDK uses partial GIF encoding, meaning that the animation frames contain only pixels different from the corresponding pixels in the first frame. Hence, in addition to decoding the frames, we need to overlay each frame on top of the first frame to complete the image. This is done by examining the RGBA values of the pixels. If the value of the alpha channel is zero, we replace the pixel using the corresponding pixel in the first frame.
Note that the overlay procedure is not needed for animated GIFs not using partial encoding.
private async Task LoadImage(String filename) { var storageFile = await KnownFolders.SavedPictures.GetFileAsync(filename); using (var res = await storageFile.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.Read)) { var bitmapDecoder = await BitmapDecoder.CreateAsync(BitmapDecoder.GifDecoderId, res); byte[] firstFrame = null; for (uint frameIndex = 0; frameIndex < bitmapDecoder.FrameCount; frameIndex++) { var frame = await bitmapDecoder.GetFrameAsync(frameIndex); var writeableBitmap = new WriteableBitmap((int)bitmapDecoder.OrientedPixelWidth, (int)bitmapDecoder.OrientedPixelHeight); var pixelData = await frame.GetPixelDataAsync( BitmapPixelFormat.Bgra8, BitmapAlphaMode.Straight, new BitmapTransform(), ExifOrientationMode.RespectExifOrientation, ColorManagementMode.DoNotColorManage); var bytes = pixelData.DetachPixelData(); if (firstFrame == null) { firstFrame = bytes; } else { // Blend the frame on top of the first frame for (uint i = 0; i < bytes.Count(); i += 4) { int alpha = bytes[i + 3]; if (alpha == 0 && firstFrame != null) { Array.Copy(firstFrame, i, bytes, i, 4); } } } using (var stream = writeableBitmap.PixelBuffer.AsStream()) { stream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length); } _frames.Add(writeableBitmap); } } StartAnimation(); }
