This
paper presents a new adaptive mobility-aware MAC protocol
for sensor networks (MS-MAC). The protocol uses any change
in received signal level as an indication of mobility and, when
necessary, triggers the mobility handling mechanism. By doing
this way, the new mobility-aware MAC protocol can work very
energy-efficiently when the network is stationary, whereas it can
maintain some level of network performance when there are
mobile sensors.
Abstract-In this paper, simple autonomous chaotic circuits
coupled by resistors are investigated. By carrying out computer
calculations and circuit experiments, irregular self-switching phenomenon
of three spatial patterns characterized by the phase
states of quasi-synchronization of chaos can be observed from
only four simple chaotic circuits. This is the same phenomenon
as chaotic wandering of spatial patterns observed very often from
systems with a large number of degrees of freedom. Namely, one
of spatial-temporal chaos observed from systems of large size can
be also generated in the proposed system consisting of only four
chaotic circuits. A six subcircuits case and a coupled chaotic circuits
networks are also studied, and such systems are confirmed
to produce more complicated spatio-temporal phenomena.
The many variants of the Unix operating system require use of a mode of thought that s significantly different from the one that s required by simpler operating systems. Think Unix introduces readers to important fundamental and intermediate Unix commands and, in the process, inculcates them in the Unix way of thinking. It s a worthy goal in a world with more Linux users than ever, and author Jon Lasser accomplishes it. He s both a capable writer and a knowledgeable user of Unix shell commands. Lasser uses bash under Red Hat Linux in most examples--which usually apply equally well to other Unix variants--and makes asides about other shells and environments, as needed.
The Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5 (Java EE 5) has two different but complementary
technologies for producing dynamic web content in the presentation tier—namely Java
Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP).
Java Servlet, the first of these technologies to appear, was initially described as extensions
to a web server for producing dynamic web content. JSP, on the other hand, is a newer technology
but is equally capable of generating the same dynamic content. However, the way in
which a servlet and a JSP page produce their content is fundamentally different servlets
embed content into logic, whereas JSP pages embed logic into content.
Like many of my colleagues in this industry, I learned Windows programming from Charles Petzold s Programming Windows—a classic programming text that is the bible to an entire generation of Windows programmers. When I set out to become an MFC programmer in 1994, I went shopping for an MFC equivalent to Programming Windows. After searching in vain for such a book and spending a year learning MFC the old-fashioned way, I decided to write one myself. It s the book you hold in your hands. And it s the book I would like to have had when I was learning to program Windows the MFC way.
VideoMan (Video Manager) is an open-source C++ library that helps you developing video based applications. We created VideoMan to increase our productivity developing computer vision applications, but it can be used in many other ways.
With VideoMan is very easy and fast to initialize any kind of video input like webcams, video files, frame grabbers, IEEE 1394 cameras and so on. You can initialize multiple inputs at the same time and show them in the screen. Also, you can show the results of the processing steps of your computer vision algorithm (extracted edges, back projections, detected blobs...) This way you can see the results of what are you coding, checking the results of your algorithm steps. Moreover, the implemented visualization scheme make easier to combine computer graphics with video, for example to show a 3d model on top of video for augmented reality applications.
Program helping you to remember the route.
It cab be route from conference room to coffee-room, it can be tourist trip, it can be pathway in labyrinth. during first traversal you make notes in you phone, specifying direction of movement and target of each step. Phone remembers how much time each steps takes. Then you can just inspect information about this trip and check duration of each stage and the whole trip. You can also replay it in forward and backward direction. So if somebody show you the shortest way to coffee machine, you can easily find the way back and can repeat this trip in future.
Flash functions for STR71X uControllers. This file replaces the ST Library flash.c file, including the option of execute any flash function from Ram, alowing a way to program flash from a program running in flash.
Collection of key-value pairs.
TDictionary represents a generic collection of key-value pairs.
This class provides a mapping from a collection of keys to a collection of values. When you create a TDictionary object, you can specify various combinations of initial capacity, equality operation, and initial content.
You can add a key that is associated with a corresponding value with the Add or AddOrSetValue methods. You can remove entries with Remove or Clear, which removes all key-value pairs. Adding or removing a key-value pair and looking up a key are efficient, close to O(1), because keys are hashed. A key must not be nil (though a value may be nil) and there must be an equality comparison operation for keys.
You can test for the presence or keys and values with the TryGetValue, ContainsKey and ContainsValue methods.
The Items property lists all Count dictionary entries. You can also set and get values by indexing the Items property. Setting the value this way overwrites any existing value.
The class TObjectDictionary inherits from TDictionary and provides an automatic mechanism for freeing objects removed from dictionary entries.
《分析性寫作》，介紹言簡意賅：
The popular, brief rhetoric that treats writing as thinking, WRITING ANALYTICALLY, Sixth Edition, offers a series of prompts that lead you through the process of analysis and synthesis and help you to generate original and well-developed ideas. The book's overall point is that learning to write well means learning to use writing as a way of thinking well. To that end, the strategies of this book describe thinking skills that employ writing. As you will see, this book treats writing as a tool of thought--a means of undertaking sustained acts of inquiry and reflection.
