Non-volatile memory (NVM) has widely participated in the evolution of the next-generation memory architecture by way of being the substitution of the main memory. To cope with the problem of asymmetric read/write speeds of NVM, several excellent researches have been proposed to reduce the number of writes to the NVM-based main memory. Nevertheless, most of these existing approaches do not take the...
As the birth rates in Taiwan continue to decline, parents will pay more attention to the coming generation of children and thinking about how to educate them. Many small children spend much time watching television, playing electronic games or using the internet, and less time reading. Pop-up books provide wonderful reading experience with its' interesting interaction and vivid content, becoming an...
The purpose of this study was to explore the college students as subjects in an experiment with the lotus blossom technique in teaching in terms of the students' potentiality of creative problem solving and performance of creative problem solving competency after creative works were accomplished. The creative problem solving competences were analyzed by means of Potentiality Questionnaire for Creative...
Autonomous mobile robots have been developed in many types and functions so far. This paper mainly presents the functionalities of self-made tracked robots and its practicality. The robot can move, patrol, and cross floors autonomously in indoor environments. With the information gotten from the Xtion sensor, the movement modes developed in this paper help the tracked robot identify different environments...
We propose a novel motion analysis algorithm by using the mean-shift segmentation and motion estimation technique. Mean shift algorithm is frequently used to extract objects from video according to its efficiency and robustness of non-rigid object tracking. For diminishing the computational complexity in searching process, an efficient block matching algorithm: cross-diamond-hexagonal search algorithm...
This paper presents a graphics processing unit with energy-saving techniques. Several techniques and architectures are proposed to achieve high performance with low power consumption. First of all, low power core pipeline is designed with 2-issue VLIW architecture to reduce power consumption while achieving the processing capability of 400MFLOPS or 800MOPS. In addition, inter/intra adaptive mutli-threading...
This paper presents a practical nighttime vehicle distance measuring method based on a single CCD image. The method combines an image-based distance measuring system. To solve the nighttime feature extraction problem, the proposed method uses two taillights as the feature. Based on the proportionality of similar triangles, distance between a CCD camera and the taillights of the vehicle ahead can be...
Nanowire is mainly used in biological sensor because it has the high surface-to-volume ratio. In this study, we have successfully fabricated the Poly-Si and SiGe nanowire with Ge = 7% and 11 % respectively by side-wall spacer technique. In order to normalize the drive current of nanowires, we consider the nanowire as a resistance. The conductance is chose for comparison between the nanowires. The...
