This paper deals with the practical approach of technology enhancement in mobile industry by using technology innovation tools. Converged IP Messaging (CPM) is new reusable building blocks to be able to create a variety of interpersonal, interactive, multimedia communication services that run on top of an IMS networks. In addition, the most practical technology innovation tool that have been originally...
With the investigating authority start to evaluate effects of Anti-dumping in our country, people find that evaluating remedy effects is not a piece of cake. Because of the complexity of the problem, there is no rational method at present. To solve the problem, a model called ENCME is constructed in this paper. As well, through using this model, we find a feasible method to evaluate remedy effects,...
Percussion instruments are frequently used in musical performance. The percussion sound radiation characteristics are strongly related to structural vibration modes. This paper presents the approach of virtual testing (VT) by the integration of finite element analysis (FEA) and experimental modal analysis (EMA) techniques for the design analysis of several types of percussion instruments. First, the...
Numerical simulation of two-dimensional reversed stagnation-point flow will be studied by solving the full Navier-Stokes equations with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software of STAR-CD and results are compared with those obtained from the similarity asymptotic solution. Velocity distribution in inner region which is near the wall as well as outer region which is away form the wall is investigated...
Because of high sensitivity for initial values and random-like behaviors, chaotic systems are widely used in image encryption. Conventionally, encryption keys for these image encryption methods based chaotic systems are limited to manipulate the initial values or parameters of the chaotic system. However, effective attacks are found to crack encryption systems by using prior information about the...
Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) supports services communication to integrate diverse heterogeneous applications in Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Services composition and invocation in ESB is implemented by message transmitting and routing actually. However, current ESB framework only support static service routing, and messages can only be sent to the specified destination configured in service...
In this study, we propose a novel server load balancing scheme. Server load balancing is known to be a critical mechanism in network-based information service. Most of existing schemes don't take servers' loadings into account, which might fail to make the loadings of all servers evenly and drive the server system to work on the brink of being over-loaded and/or out of function. The proposed scheme...
System maintenance for reliable running of key machinery is critical to many industries, where condition monitoring and fault diagnosis is important supporting technology. This paper selects a typical component in rotating machinery, the gearbox, as the target to study a proper monitoring and fault diagnosis method to prevent malfunction and failure. The failure is divided into two levels. One is...
Conventional interface design leaves little room for users to autonomously arrange icons or choose contents to be displayed on the screen. Recently, with the touch equipments on the rise, they provide users a brand new experience of intuitive and convenient operational styles. In this paper six factors, 5W and 1H, are used to automatically allocate interesting environmental quality monitoring factors...
This paper presents an automatic speed sign recognition for providing the visual driving-assistance of speed limits awareness. To reduce the influence of digital noise caused by lighting condition and pollution, a segmentation based on pan-red color information is applied to extract the shape of speed sign. Based on the edge gradient information of a circle shape, a radially symmetry detection strategy...
This paper presents an appearance-based human face age estimation scheme. The age estimation has become an important study in recently several years. The main issue of the aging process is that it varies across various people, and which makes the age estimation rather challenge. This study combines the shape feature, texture feature, and frequency feature using Active Shape Model (ASM), Radon transform,...
In many applications, a cluster structure in a given dataset is often confined to a subset of features rather than the entire feature set. One of the main problems is how to make use of all the features effectively and adequately to discover structures. By using weighted dissimilarity measure and adding weight entropy regularization term to the objective function, a novel fuzzy c-means algorithm is...
The paper presents a standalone super capacitor charging system. It contains a self starting, self powering circuit and a feed forward boost converter. The system does not use batteries or have a connection to a main utility power. It constitutes a true standalone low maintenance and pollution free system. The system contains a main storage device and a secondary energy storage device, both of which...
This paper presents an effective algorithm to identify moving direction of an object in images based on historical trajectories of the moving object. By continuously acquiring images, temporal differencing is performed to detect the moving object followed by median filtering to reduce noises in the images. After that, opening operation is adopted to remove small objects lacking momentum in the binary...
This research proposes a method to reconstruct the 3D object model from 2D images. The reconstruction theorem this research used is based on the stereo vision algorithm. Stereo vision is one type of the non-contact scanning measurement. The theorem of the stereo vision were simulates the human's eyes to calculate the object's depth information. There for, this research uses two CCD Cameras to capture...
