A 018μm Cmos Transmitter for Ecg Signals
Date: December 2013
Creator: Kakarna, Tejaswi
Description: Electrocardiography (ECG) signal transmitter is the device used to transmit the electrical signals of the heart to the remote machine. These electrical signals are ECG signals caused due to electrical activities in the heart. ECG signals have very low amplitude and frequency; hence amplification of the signals is needed to strengthen the signal. Conversion of the amplified signal into digital information and transmitting that information without losing any data is the key. This information is further used in monitoring the heart.

Automatic Extraction of Highlights from a Baseball Video Using HMM and MPEG-7 Descriptors
Date: May 2011
Creator: Saudagar, Abdullah Naseer Ahmed
Description: In today's fast paced world, as the number of stations of television programming offered is increasing rapidly, time accessible to watch them remains same or decreasing. Sports videos are typically lengthy and they appeal to a massive crowd. Though sports video is lengthy, most of the viewer's desire to watch specific segments of the video which are fascinating, like a home-run in a baseball or goal in soccer i.e., users prefer to watch highlights to save time. When associated to the entire span of the video, these segments form only a minor share. Hence these videos need to be summarized for effective presentation and data management. This thesis explores the ability to extract highlights automatically using MPEG-7 features and hidden Markov model (HMM), so that viewing time can be reduced. Video is first segmented into scene shots, in which the detection of the shot is the fundamental task. After the video is segmented into shots, extraction of key frames allows a suitable representation of the whole shot. Feature extraction is crucial processing step in the classification, video indexing and retrieval system. Frame features such as color, motion, texture, edges are extracted from the key frames. A baseball highlight contains certain ...

Baseband Noise Suppression in Ofdm Using Kalman Filter
Date: May 2012
Creator: Rodda, Lasya
Description: As the technology is advances the reduced size of hardware gives rise to an additive 1/f baseband noise. This additive 1/f noise is a system noise generated due to miniaturization of hardware and affects the lower frequencies. Though 1/f noise does not show much effect in wide band channels because of its nature to affect only certain frequencies, 1/f noise becomes a prominent in OFDM communication systems where narrow band channels are used. in this thesis, I study the effects of 1/f noise on the OFDM systems and implement algorithms for estimation and suppression of the noise using Kalman filter. Suppression of the noise is achieved by subtracting the estimated noise from the received noise. I show that the performance of the system is considerably improved by applying the 1/f noise suppression.

A Bidirectional Two-Hop Relay Network Using GNU Radio and USRP
Date: August 2011
Creator: Le, Johnny
Description: A bidirectional two-hop relay network with decode-and-forward strategy is implemented using GNU Radio (software) and several USRPs (hardware) on Ubuntu (operating system). The relay communication system is comprised of three nodes; Base Station A, Base Station B, and Relay Station (the intermediate node). During the first time slot, Base Station A and Base Station B will each transmit data, e.g., a JPEG file, to Relay Station using DBPSK modulation and FDMA. For the final time slot, Relay Station will perform a bitwise XOR of the data, and transmit the XORed data to Base Station A and Base Station B, where the received data is decoded by performing another XOR operation with the original data.

Characterization of Ecg Signal Using Programmable System on Chip
Date: December 2012
Creator: Ravuru, Anusha
Description: Electrocardiography (ECG) monitor is a medical device for recording the electrical activities of the heart using electrodes placed on the body. There are many ECG monitors in the market but it is essential to find the accuracy with which they generate results. Accuracy depends on the processing of the ECG signal which contains several noises and the algorithms used for detecting peaks. Based on these peaks the abnormality in the functioning of the heart can be estimated. Hence this thesis characterizes the ECG signal which helps to detect the abnormalities and determine the accuracy of the system.

Communication System over Gnu Radio and OSSIE
Date: December 2011
Creator: Cheng, Zizhi
Description: GNU Radio and OSSIE (Open-Source SCA (Software communication architecture) Implementation-Embedded) are two open source software toolkits for SDR (Software Defined Radio) developments, both of them can be supported by USRP (Universal Software Radio Peripheral). In order to compare the performance of these two toolkits, an FM receiver over GNU Radio and OSSIE are tested in my thesis, test results are showed in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5. Results showed that the FM receiver over GNU Radio has better performance, due to the OSSIE is lack of synchronization between USRP interface and the modulation /demodulation components. Based on this, the SISO (Single Input Single Output) communication system over GNU Radio is designed to transmit and receive sound or image files between two USRP equipped with RFX2400 transceiver at 2.45G frequency. Now, GNU Radio and OSSIE are widely used for academic research, but the future work based on GNU Radio and OSSIE can be designed to support MIMO, sensor network, and real time users etc.

Comparison of Source Diversity and Channel Diversity Methods on Symmetric and Fading Channels.
Date: August 2009
Creator: Li, Li
Description: Channel diversity techniques are effective ways to combat channel fading and noise in communication systems. In this thesis, I compare the performance of source and channel diversity techniques on fading and symmetric continuous channels. My experiments suggest that when SNR is low, channel diversity performs better, and when SNR is high, source diversity shows better performance than channel diversity.

A Comprehensive Modeling Framework for Airborne Mobility
Date: December 2013
Creator: Xie, Junfei
Description: Mobility models serve as the foundation for evaluating and designing airborne networks. Due to the significant impact of mobility models on the network performance, mobility models for airborne networks (ANs) must realistically capture the attributes of ANs. In this paper, I develop a comprehensive modeling framework for ANs. The work I have done is concluded as the following three parts. First, I perform a comprehensive and comparative analysis of AN mobility models and evaluate the models based on several metrics: 1) networking performance, 2) ability to capture the mobility attributes of ANs, 3) randomness levels and 4) associated applications. Second, I develop two 3D mobility models and realistic boundary models. The mobility models follow physical laws behind aircraft maneuvering and therefore capture the characteristics of aircraft trajectories. Third, I suggest an estimation procedure to extract parameters in one of the models that I developed from real flight test data. The good match between the estimated trajectories and real flight trajectories also validate the suitability of the model. The mobility models and the estimation procedure lead to the creation of "realistic" simulation and evaluation environment for airborne networks.

Consensus Building in Sensor Networks and Long Term Planning for the National Airspace System
Date: May 2011
Creator: Akula, Naga Venkata Swathik
Description: In this thesis, I present my study on the impact of multi-group network structure on the performance of consensus building strategies, and the preliminary mathematical formulation of the problem on improving the performance of the National Airspace system (NAS) through long-term investment. The first part of the thesis is concerned with a structural approach to the consensus building problem in multi-group distributed sensor networks (DSNs) that can be represented by bipartite graph. Direct inference of the convergence behavior of consensus strategies from multi-group DSN structure is one of the contributions of this thesis. The insights gained from the analysis facilitate the design and development of DSNs that meet specific performance criteria. The other part of the thesis is concerned with long-term planning and development of the NAS at a network level, by formulating the planning problem as a resource allocation problem for a flow network. The network-level model viewpoint on NAS planning and development will give insight to the structure of future NAS and will allow evaluation of various paradigms for the planning problem.

Data Compression Using a Multi-residue System (Mrs)
Date: August 2012
Creator: Melaedavattil Jaganathan, Jyothy
Description: This work presents a novel technique for data compression based on multi-residue number systems. The basic theorem is that an under-determined system of congruences could be solved to accomplish data compression for a signal satisfying continuity of its information content and bounded in peak-to -peak amplitude by the product of relatively prime moduli,. This thesis investigates this property and presents quantitative results along with MATLAB codes. Chapter 1 is introductory in nature and Chapter 2 deals in more detail with the basic theorem. Chapter 3 explicitly mentions the assumptions made and chapter 4 shows alternative solutions to the Chinese remainder theorem. Chapter 5 explains the experiments in detail whose results are mentioned in chapter 6. Chapter 7 concludes with a summary and suggestions for future work.

Any fellow pilots kicking around?
Any fellow pilots kicking around?
There's not that many real EvE players on OnRPG. >< I'm currently still sort of burned out. I want to return but rising plex prices and the monotony of what I used to do don't really help.
Perpetuum is hitting Steam in 2 days. Maybe check that one out ?
Im not burned out just sick of the immature community people shall be majority 25+ but behave like 3 year olds pvp got boring when you fight all kinds of kids.
I used to be in a small (as in 6-man corp) WH corp as well but I quit that as solo WH exploration is fairly suicidal with little to no PvP experience. Needless to say, if you don't have an alt, it's also hard to get back if you do get ganked.
@Duero, EvE is fairly mature. EvE is NOT a solo MMO. ANYTHING BUT a solo MMO even. The community in EvE is what ties it together. The ganks, the rage, the fun you have doing that to other players and the responsibilities you get after being active in your corp/alliance.
Edit: not to mention that you can do whatever the **** you want, other than IRL threats, newbie killing and the obvious hacks and goldbuying.

To be honest CoD and BF has a more mature community. How can I say so you think well sure you have your 12-15 years old who are immature. Then you have players in my 20+ and allot of them just tru to have a good fight they don´t get angry they just try to have a good time and there is 0 Drama.
The drama in EvE is like watching an episode of jersey shore in space. So in the end a few nice eve players like 4 of them told me well ignore those bad players then witch im doing buy not playing the game because if I shall ignore 90% of the community why play a mmo if you shall run Solo in a mmo that is more focused on big alliances than solo play. EVE is a great game just need less A-holes and less jersey shore episodes.
Im not kidding when I say I know allot of people who quit playing thanks to a shitty community in eve I even know people who just started but quit 2 weeks after not because the learning curve but to people being Shit heads It´s like They don´t wan´t new players because they get scared away with all the drama and stupid people.
But as you said you can encounter bad players in all games but it´s way to much in EVE. And it´s up there with HoN LoL when it comes to worst immature community of all time.
"....However, as with all things, you will encounter the odd retard and or asshole."

Man sentenced in home invasion in which officer was shot, paralyzed
PITTSBURGH (AP) — A Pittsburgh-area man has been sentenced to between 50 and 100 years in prison for a home invasion last year in which a police officer was shot and paralyzed.
Judge Edward J. Borkowski says 27-year-old Emilio Rivera of McKees Rocks is an "incorrigible person" who deserves the tough sentence that prosecutors sought.
Clairton police officer James Kuzak was shot and paralyzed during the crime, but a jury acquitted Rivera of the shooting charge. Rivera was found guilty of burglary, robbery, unlawful restraint and reckless endangerment. Kuzak is a former Peters Township police officer.
Police say Rivera and another man both confessed to the April 2011 shooting, but Rivera's family says the sentence is unjust.

Submission Obama Administration supports journalist arrested after recording cops->
SplatMan_DK writes: Ars Technica reports that the Obama Administration has filed a brief in support of a Maryland photojournalist who says he was arrested and beaten after he took photographs of the police arresting two other men. The brief by the Justice Department argues that the US Constitution protects the right to photograph the actions of police officers in public places and prohibits police officers from arresting journalists for exercising those rights.

Very positive and easy going music perfect for presentations, corporate videos, or any project that needs bright and lighthearted atmosphere. This track is excellent for business marketing and advertising, hi-tech related products, travel, picture slide-shows, or simply as a great tune to start a day with a boost of positivity and good vibes.
The composition starts with gentle piano arpeggios winged by polyphonic breakbeats, unobtrusive sound effects and fretless bass. As the track proceeds, melodic electronic lines add bright pleasant harmonies and create lighthearted and contented mood.
The zip contains a full track (4:25) and looped audio (2:50) which makes it very valuable for purposes that require indefinite extension of playback, like music on hold, website background music, DVD intro, or sideshow presentation.
This is not just another motivational song, but a fresh and creative piece that will seize the hearts and minds of your audience and bring you good luck and success.
Thank you for purchasing. Proper rating would be much appreciated.

He was an early Tennessee proponent of prohibition.
The Fussell Papers is significant for the light it sheds upon the political repercussions brought about by the State debts accumulated through the sale of bonds for the construction of railroads and turnpikes before the Civil War.

Who do I like for Manager of the Mets?
There is about to be a lot of speculation about manager, and I look forward to it.
However, don't expect to read an endorsement from me about who should or shouldn't get this job. The selection of a field manager is not an exact science, and so I won't pretend that is.
The way I see it, and I have heard this from people in baseball, young and old, it is very difficult to determine how a manager and his players will mix, and yet that mix is what ultimately determines their respective success. In the end, people who have hired managers before will tell you, it always comes down to a leap of faith. Why does one manager fail one place but succeed some place else? Why do some managers succeed after managing in the minors, while others do not?
I was quite clear in stating my opinion on why I wanted Alderson as GM, because it's much easier to determine a person's management style based on his previous words and transactions, especially if he's going to be the boss. But, it is damn near impossible for me to predict how a field manager will work with the talent he is given. Technically, he isn't the boss. The GM is.
This is why the selection of the GM, to me, was significantly more important than manager, because the GM will be building the roster. The GM will have a plan for what the team is going to eventually look like, down the road, and so he – and only he – will have an accurate read on what will be needed from his field general. I mean, maybe a robot in the dugout will work with what's next? Or, perhaps a lunatic in love with bunting is the best fit? I doubt it in either case, but who knows? I have no idea how Bob Melvin or Wally Backman or Chip Hale will work with Carlos Beltran? Actually, I have no idea if Beltran will even be here. So, anyone who has a definitive, well-researched reason for why one guy should be manager over another is simply making a prediction, because we have no idea how one previous situation impacts the situation they're about to step in to. And, that's totally cool. I'm all ears. However, if you read this blog, you know I rarely make predictions.
That said, I'm a baseball fan, and a romantic at that, desperately wanting to have fun again rooting for the Mets. So, for now, 'The Story of Backman,' i.e., the 1986 second baseman returning from tough times to lead the Mets back to a Championship, though totally irrational, is appealing to me because of the best-case scenario. Similarly, I love the idea of Hale, a loyal, no-nonsense Marine taking charge. I'd be equally happy for Oberkfell, if he finally got his shot at the big chair.
Of course, this is NOT how the Mets should make their decision. Instead, the Mets should do their due diligence, use as many facts and as much feedback as possible, all based on an overarching philosophy about what the team will eventually be.
Thankfully, it seems the Mets finally have a GM in Alderson who believes in process, 'high percentage baseball,' and research and analysis, and so, since he'll be building the roster, and doing the interviews, and doing whatever work he deems necessary, I expect that whoever he chooses will be the best fit.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate community editor
Just about the time I think I know about something, I find out there is a whole lot I don't know. Take my neighborhood for example.
After having lived there for six years, driving in and out of it and walking around it four to six times a week for the last year since I decided one of the ways to be more healthy was to exercise regularly, I thought I knew it well.
But where you live and it's surroundings just don't have to do with the place, but also with time. The time of day at which it is observed and a persons place within that time have a lot to do with the impressions we gain from any place we may be.
This past weekend my grand kids visited me from Salt Lake and part of the plan for them was a sleep out. These three boys had never slept outside in the open anywhere but in their backyard so I offered, as a transition to an eventual real camping trip with me, a chance to sleep out in the pasture behind my house. And of course "grumpy" as I am known to them had to sleep out there with them to keep the demons away.
After some roasting of marshmallows in the barbecue and some scared goodnights to mom and dad who were going to sleep comfortably in my house, the kids climbed into their tent and within five minutes, to my surprise, the giggling and excitement dropped off into a deep slumber; so much so I could hear all three of them snoring.
No camping trip, even one in the backyard, is ever complete without forgetting something and the kids had failed to bring their sleeping bags with them. Consequently mine were in the tent with them and I lay outside the entrance on a piece of patio furniture wrapped up in a blanket with a piece of foam rubber for a pillow. Not fashionable in any way, but certainly adequate for a warm summer evening.
Of course the kids had imagined all kinds of dangers in the wilds of Carbon County. Earlier in the evening they had asked me about bears and wolves, while I retorted with raccoons and skunks. Apparently my reassurances worked since they fell asleep so fast. However, for me slumber did not easily come.
It was the first time in many years that I had actually slept directly under the stars. Over the years camping for me has gone from sleeping as a kid most nights of the summer gazing at the nights sky from the soft grass of my parents lawn to eventually securing a tent as a teemager and then into adulthood being way too comfortable in trailers and campers with running water, heaters, stoves and of course soft, familiar beds. It was almost like I was experiencing sleeping out for the first time again, as I sat wide eyed looking a the sky that had cleared of smoke from range fires earlier in the day. I watched the "blue moon" that appeared over the trees for at least an hour, as it slowly passed from east to west. Then I dozed off.
During the night I woke up several times, due to the cramped condition of my sleeping quarters and various unfamiliar noises around me. Each time I traced the passage of time, not by looking at my cell phone which was laying on a bench next to me, but by where that big moon was in the sky.
Sleeping in the house, even with the windows wide open, changes ones perception of the nature of a place. For instance the subdued sounds of U.S. 6 in the distance in the house, are much louder when no walls are there to sheild out the din. Of course that highway is nothing to live by compared to the noise I used to experence living next to I-15 in Salt Lake in the 1980's, but things are relative and you become used to your circumstances.
I learned however that the most prevelant noise in the middle of the night are the crickets with their never ending chirps that are relaxing and annoying at the same time. It wasn't like I didn't know that they were there, but I seldom concentrated on them before.
Other noises that woke me up was an animal running through the grass near my west property line. What it was I don't know, but I suspected a cat or maybe a raccoon.
Then there was the noise coming from houses. It was, afterall, Saturday night, so people were up late, but nonetheless I was hearing things in the neighborhood I had never heard before. Down the street I heard a cars engine shut off after it had passed my house. Little kids voices took it's place screaming and yelling, as concerned parents told them to be quiet because people "are trying to sleep."
From another direction I heard an argument. It wasn't that I could discern the words, but I could detect the animosity between the parties by the tone of their conversation. A female would yell and then a male voice would grumble. That too eventually died out, and then the crickets took over the moonlit landscape once again.
Through the night there were many more unusual sounds from someones garage compressor starting up far off in the distance, to the birds chatting loudly above me in a chinese elm tree.
As the sky started to glow read in the east I woke up once again, and this time I stayed awake. The roosters around the neighborhood started to crow and I began to hear early risers up in their yards clipping lawns and setting sprinklers. Either because of the calm in the air or because I was actually listening with nothing else on my mind, they all seemed crisper, and more meaningful that they usually do.
So in the end, a first adventure for my grand kids actually turned into a renewal of a long past experience for me. It just put another chapter into my book of lessons learned from things I thought I knew. And when the kids began to arise at about 8:30 am, I found that I was the one that was really touched by the experience, while for them it just seemed to be another nights sleep.

Lucy, the Mets and the Football
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
In a report this morning for FoxSports.com, Ken Rosenthal does a terrific job explaining why the Mets are petitioning MLB to adjust their rule for draft pick compensation, which would allow Sandy Alderson to sign free-agent OF Michael Bourn at the cost of a second-round draft pick instead of a first-round pick.
The way I understand it, MLB will only seriously consider Alderson's case if he first reaches an agreement with Bourn. The deal can be pending the league's ruling, but they want to see a deal first. I'm sure the Mets prefer to do it the other way around, but beggars can't be choosers. What's more, as Rosenthal points out, Bourn's agent is Scott Boras, and by granting this exception for one draft pick (and setting a precedent), MLB would essentially be doing one team and one agent a massive favor at the expense of also having to address future requests… and it's hard to imagine them doing that, so long as at least one other team is interested in Bourn's services (like the Mariners, and maybe the Rangers).
In either case, I'm skeptical. I'm skeptical the league will help with this. And, I'm even more skeptical that Alderson will give such a long-term contract to a 30-year-old, left-handed hitting, light-weight, strikeout-happy hitter, who is mostly just fast and a good fielder. It's not Alderson's style. He talks of right-handed power and payroll flexibility so much that I don't understand how Bourn fits in.
Now, if they're discussing a one-year deal, which I understand Bourn might be willing to accept (so he can be a free-agent again next winter), it might make some sense. This might also explain why Alderson is aggressively defending his first-round pick. However, to do this, I assume Bourn will want at least $15 million, and it's hard to imagine Alderson spending the rest of his off-season budget on one guy, especially since he still needs more players (specifically in the bullpen). Yes, he can backload a multi-year deal, but then we're back to questioning the value of Bourn over five years, which doesn't seem to fit in to Alderson's long-term goals either. As I said, I'm skeptical.
I like Bourn to a certain extent, especially since his ability and presence in center field might help the team's young pitchers. I'd take him for one year, to fill a void, so long as I can keep that top draft pick. However, I don't think he alone is enough to make a big enough impact on this team's success next year to justify giving up a potential top prospect. He's good, but he's not that good.
The crazy thing is, after writing this and giving it thought, I can't help but feel like we are Charlie Brown, the Mets are Lucy, and the Rumor Mill is the football… At some point, I hope we get a kick in, because I can't help but charge at the ball each time it's out there. But, man, I'm tired of getting my hopes up for action only to see us all fall on our backs each time. That said, I'm reasonable and I understand what's going. As I've said, while I'm tired of watching a losing team, I'm more tired of watching the Boom, Bust and Rebuild Cycles of the last 30 years. So, I'm OK waiting for a more sound, successful and sustainable team to be built, which is what I believe Alderson is doing. But, eventually, be it this year, next year, whenever, the Mets have to do something to actually move forward. Eventually, you have to stop on the foundation and framing, and actually move in to the new house. Eventually, they have to promote an impact arm and bat, make a trade, sign a meaningful free agent… something, anything… to help stop the slide of losing more and more games each season. I'm patient, but my patience is wearing thin.
Again, if you have questions about why and how the Mets are petitioning baseball to make an exception for their first-round pick read Rosenthal's report: here's the link, click it.
