This the fourth edition of the Writing Device Drivers articles. This article will introduce the idea of device stacks and how devices interact with each other. We will use the previously created example device driver to demonstrate this topic. To do this we will introduce the idea of a “filter” dr ...
TOOL (Tiny Object Oriented Language) is an easily-embedded, object-oriented, C++-like-language interpreter. The language, and indeed a significant part of the core of the TOOL engine, is based on the BOB project, a work that was originally developed by David Betz covered in previously published issu ...
Sensing in autonomous vehicles is a growing field due to a wide array of military and reconnaissance applications. The Adaptive Communications and Signals Processing Group (ACSP) research group at Cornell specializes in studying various aspects of autonomous vehicle control. Previously, ACSP has exa ...
This Symbian C++ code example demonstrates how to easily use the onboard camera with zoom and autofocus, utilising an accompanying CameraWrapper made by Forum Nokia. The Camera Wrapper supports all Nokia s S60 devices based on S60 3rd Edition and newer, providing a unified interface for various Symb ...
The software and hardware development fields evolved along separate paths through the end of the 20th century. We seem to have come full circle, however. The previously rigid hardware on which our programs run is softening in many ways. Embedded systems are largely responsible for this softening. Th ...
VIP+ is support software for YAMAHA RCX series robot controllers. In addition to the functions
of the previously released "VIP Windows" software, VIP+ includes an easy-to-use GUI (graphical
user interface). VIP+ also allows control by 2 or more controllers or access to a controller from
2 or more cl ...
Since OpenStreetMap (OSM) appeared more than ten years ago, new
collaborative mapping approaches have emerged in different areas and have become
important components of localised information and services based on localisation.
There is now increased awareness of the importance of the space-time attr ...
This introductory chapter is devoted to reviewing the fundamental ideas of
control from a multivariable point of view. In some cases, the mathematics
and operations on systems (modelling, pole placement, etc.), as previously
treated in introductory courses and textbooks, convey to the readers an un- ...
HRVAS is a complete and self-contained heart rate variability analysis software (HRVAS) package. HRVAS offers several preprocessing options. HRVAS offers time-domeain, freq-domain, time-frequency, and nonlinear HRV analysis. All results can be exported to an Excel file. For processing many files HRV ...
Research on microwave power amplififiers has gained a growing importance demanded by the many continuously developing applications which require such subsystem performance. A broad set of commercial and strategic systems in fact have their overall performance boosted by the power amplififier, the la ...
