On a model of indexability and its bounds for range queries
Authors: Joseph M. Hellerstein, Elias Koutsoupias, Daniel P. Miranker, Christos H. Papadimitriou, Vasilis Samoladas
Venue: Journal of the ACM (JACM) (2002)

We develop a theoretical framework to characterize the hardness of indexing data sets on block-access memory devices like hard disks. We define an indexing workload by a data set and a set of potential queries. For a workload, we can construct an indexing scheme, which is a collection of fixed-sized subsets of the data. We identify two measures of efficiency for an indexing scheme on a workload: storage redundancy, r (how many times each item in the data set is stored), and access overhead, A (how many times more blocks than necessary does a query retrieve).For many interesting families of workloads, there exists a trade-off between storage redundancy and access overhead. Given a desired access overhead A, there is a minimum redundancy that any indexing scheme must exhibit. We prove a lower-bound theorem for deriving the minimum redundancy. By applying this theorem, we show interesting upper and lower bounds and trade-offs between A and r in the case of multidimensional range queries and set queries.
CAD of Microstrip Antennas for Wireless Applications
Authors: Robert A. Sainati
Venue:  (1996)

:The recent explosion in commercial applications involving RF and microwave systems (e.g. mobile telephones) is fueling customer demand for small, low-cost, easy-to-use systems. It's also driving innovations in antenna technology. This "how-to" book explains why microstrip antennas are the ideal low-profile, low-cost solution for these commercial applications and provides the information and tools necessary to design them. Included are:  A brief description of microstrip antennas, pertinent terminology, plus analysis and modeling techniques to sharpen your insight into the operation of various elements and arrays  Step-by-step coverage of the design of various single-element radiators, including rectangular, circular, broadband, and CP patches. Interaction between design parameters and antenna performance is also discussed  An in-depth explanation of simple array design, including performance and calculations, types of array architectures, and specific design aspects  Discussion of advanced feeding techniques that provide increased design flexibility and performance This book comes bundles with an IBM PC-compatible diskette containing 18 stand-alone computer programs and a user-friendly guide showing sample design cases and expected results to assist in the analysis and design of specific microstrip antennas and arrays. The design approaches, techniques, and nearly 280 equations presented here are essential information for design engineers and engineering managers involved in the design of antennas and RF/microwave circuits. This technical reference helps you develop an intuitive understanding of microstrip antenna operations - andmaster the steps necessary to create more effective designs. Product line managers and marketing managers also find this information valuable when assessing the applicability of microstrip antennas in current and future product lines.
Measures for the organization of self-organizing maps
Authors: Daniel Polani
Venue: Self-Organizing neural networks: recent advances and applications (2001)

The "self-organizing" dynamics of Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) is a prominent property of the model that is intuitiely very accessible. Nevertheless, a rigorous definition of a measure for the state of organization of a SOM that is also natural, captures the intuitive properties of organization and proves to be useful in practice, is quite difficult to formulate. The goal of this chapter is to give an overview over the relevant problems in and different approaches towards the development of organization measures for SOMs.

A formal design notation for real-time systems
Authors: Miguel Felder, Mauro Pezzè
Venue: ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology (TOSEM) (2002)

The development of real-time systems is based on a variety of different methods and notations. Despite the purported benefits of formal methods, informal techniques still play a predominant role in current industrial practice. Formal and informal methods have been combined in various ways to smoothly introduce formal methods in industrial practice. The combination of real-time structured analysis (SA-RT) with Petri nets is among the most popular approaches, but has been applied only to requirements specifications. This paper extends SA-RT to specifications of the detailed design of embedded real-time systems, and combines the proposed notation with Petri nets.
An automated oracle for verifying GUI objects
Venue: ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes (2001)

Recently, software testers have relied more on automated testing to test software. Automated testing method consists of the three modules: test case design, execution, and verification. Yet, to accomplish these three phases, we are always in a dilemma due to a lack of a verification function. Nearly all the commercial automated testing tools cannot efficiently compare graphic objects though GUI (Graphic User Interface) software is now more crucial than text based user interface. This research develops a technique that aids automatic behavior verification for a particularly difficult problem: determining the correction of screen output. Methodology to capture and compare screen output is presented and a case study using Microsoft&reg; PowerPoint&reg; is described.

Patent Searching Made Easy: How to Do Patent Searches on the Internet and in the Library, 2nd edition
Authors: David Hitchcock
Venue:  (2000)

:"Am I the First?" What inventor hasn't lost sleep pondering this question? Until recently, the only way to assess the novelty ofa new invention was to wade through the patent database at heh United States Patent and Trademark Office in Virginia -- or hire a patent searcherfor $500 and up. Expensive andinconvenient, these options probably dampened the spirits of countless would-be inventors. Now inventors can get instant feedback on their ideas over the internet. Fortunately, there's also an entertaining guidebook for the novice patent searcher: Patent Searching Made Easy. Written by inventor David Hitchcock, the book explains step by step how to use an Internet browser to search U.S. patents. It discusses how to classify an invention properly, and then, using that classification, find all relevant patents issued since 1971. Whether browsing infant flotation devices or computerized pet toys, the inventor can quickly tell by searching over the Internet whether he or she is in the running to be "the first."
NiceMeetVR: facing professional baseball pitchers in the virtual batting cage
Authors: Taku Komura, Atsushi Kuroda, Yoshihisa Shinagawa
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing (2002)

In this paper, we introduce a new virtual baseball batting training system called NICEMEET VR, which enable batters to face a variety of baseball pitchers. The pitching motions are obtained using the video-based motion capture system called KROPS, which enable users to capture the 3D human motion from a single view video sequences. The batter holds a bat with a reflector attached to the sweet spot, and stands in front of the screen where the pitching motions are projected. No real baseball is actually thrown. Instead, a 3D virtual ball is rendered over the screen. The batter swings the bat toward the ball when it reaches the home-base. The trajectory of the swung bat is analyzed using dual supply photoelectric sensors behind the screen, that cast and also detect the infra red beam reflected by the bat. Using our system, the player can practice batting against any pitcher, such as top professional major league pitchers, or famous pitchers in the past by capturing their motion from videos.
