Lautenberg; I, Sean David Nave, started to write many letters for a group, because I have trouble with what the office says is what a group should be. I what to have a website, so we can start a money and information site, about Brain Injury, for all kinds of Brain Injury, ( Brain Injury, Bell's Palsy, Cerebral Palsy, Obstetrical Brachial Plexus Palsy, Ebb’s Palsy \ Lumpkin’s Palsy ). This is why I fight so hard, because I have many friends of Hartwick here, and I know other people would come. Mr. Frank R. Lautenberg, it was suggested that you would be the best person to speak with. I do not know if this letter will ever get to you, and I hope that everything is spelled correctly. You are the first person to read this letter, in its entity I was injured two times, once at birth, in Israel, when born three months premature. And again, over two and one half years ago, when I let someone else drive my car, I ended up in cognitive rehab again. I have had Cerebral Palsy since birth, and since around two years to date, I have had to relearn how to live my life the way I used to, enjoyably. I came to the United States of America from Israel, my homeland, when I was two and a half years old. The first state I lived in was Ohio, in the city of Toledo. My immediate family and I next relocated to New Jersey. My parents both came firstly from Romania, next to Israel in finality the United States of America where I live and now with my brain disorder to divulge my knowledge and articulation in knowing all three languages of my homelands. What I want to make people aware of is that Brain Damage affects a huge amount of people. This is why I want to make things like pens, caps, and pamphlets with the slogan ―One Fight for People with Brain Injury‖ because people know me as a nice human being and I seriously care about all people, even those less fortunate than myself and others I know. I wrote the over 267 pages document of stuff that I want to do. I have a plan of divulging awareness, and helping all people I am acquainted with now and in the future, thou it I need assistance on all sides. Part of my idea is to have a website with all of our problems, and then a little bit about everyone I know now and our hopes for the forthcoming future. I hope to be acquainted with all I am able to know. Then we can to complete other enjoyable tasks, like selling items to raise awareness and discussing our lives with one another. My dream is to one day have meetings about Brain Injury and our afflictions which we are getting used to living with. What I am fully capable of enterprising is a business plan. This means that I want to talk about life with all people I know, and work on selling and teaching all about Brain Injury, and brain related afflictions. I want to help all I can because as one of my friends told me, I am a great human being and the world needs me, Sean (Shai) Nave. I am asking all Universal Institute students to voice their opinion and tell the people who work for Universal Institute Inc. that we need to do this! So I have to make a plan to make a website with allot of stuff on it. To make a Brain Injury site for all five brain injuries: Brain Injury, Bell's palsy, Cerebral Palsy, Obstetrical Brachial Plexus Palsy, Ebb’s Palsy / Lumpkin’s Palsy, and set up a site within the site for: Links to other sites, Chat Rooms, Songs and Poems, and Selling Pens, Brochures, and Hats. The breakdown of money is: Brain Injury and Cerebral Palsy = 20% Each Other = 40% 15 percent goes to the people 5 – percent goes to Sean Nave, Mark Basher, and Alan Draggers I want to make a Group, internally first, and then when we are ready, in two to four years, go online with all the information and sell pens and brochures with ―Support Brain Injury Recovery‖, and Hats that say the same thing. What do you think? Do you see what I want to do, to make a website with allot of stuff on it? To make a Brain Injury site for all five brain injuries: Brain Injury, Bell's palsy, Cerebral Palsy, Obstetrical Brachial Plexus Palsy, Ebb’s Palsy / Lumpkin’s Palsy, and set up a site within the site for: Links to other sites, Chat rooms , Songs and Poems, Selling Pens, Brochures, and Hats. I really need to have a test like I did at JFK that I do not remember, because this does not work! I am tired of being treated like I am a child, by other people other than you, because that is what you are doing to me. I am improving myself slowly, and I what to make a website for all the Cerebral palsy and Brain Injury people on the web, and then Bell's palsy, Obstetrical Brachial Plexus palsy, and Ebb’s palsy / Lumpkin’s palsy, because I cannot find what they have in common, with Cerebral palsy or Brain Injury, but I know there is a link. What I am trying so hard for is because I have two injuries to my brain there is not a place for me. I was always the one without a place. And now I am 30, and it does not seem like I will find a wife. Look at me, I always had I problem with wetting myself. Now at lease you do not see I am trying to make a group that I can talk to, because I cannot talk to a person that does not know what it’s like. So what if I want to sell Pens, Brochures, and other stuff, I am thinking it will take three to five years to make the site, and it will be enough time to make enough money to see if I am right. You know it is sad that, the one thing I can put my mind on is how to make a group, and how to make money. To make a Brain Injury site for all five brain injuries: Brain Injury, Bell's palsy, Cerebral Palsy, Obstetrical Brachial Plexus Palsy, Ebb’s Palsy / Lumpkin’s Palsy, and set up a site within the site for: TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY Methods for Clinical and Forensic Neuropsychiatry Assessment - Robert Grenache, FINANCIAL RISK TAKING an Introduction to the Psychology of Trading and Behavioral Finance - Mike Elvin, Investment Psychology Explained Classic Strategies to Beat the Markets - Martin J. Prang, THE PSYCHOLOGY OF ENTERTAINMENT MEDIA Blurring the Lines between Entertainment and Persuasion - L. J. Serum, Psychology of Intelligence Analysis - Richards J. Hewer, Along with other books and things including Beating Casino Blackjack (For Casino & Online Casino Gamblers), and the video Blackjack-Making.Millions.the.Easy.Way-BBC.2004.., because I would like their input and understanding; I understand that there is no way to do this but I have Psychology Complete... We can use this and take the books, and we can use them as a tool to bridge them together, and sell this with one of the written pages from all of the members. It is a loophole in the law, that I have Psychology Complete. The first topic is TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY Methods for Clinical and Forensic Neuropsychiatry Assessment - Robert Grenache, and I added Traumatic Brain Injury: Hope through Research: Traumatic Brain Injury. This way they can see what I am talking about. Then maybe I will have some help on this; thank you for your time. Thank you, Mr. Senator Frank R. Lautenberg, for reading this letter. I hope that reading this letter will do some positive resoles, I know that you are busy, so please take a look at: Appendix 1 – Support Brain Injury Recovery, Appendix 2 - Introduction to TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY And Other Topics, and I want someone to ADD this to at least the bathroom, from HomeDepot.com, because where I live, I have to spend my time with a roommate, Eric Slosberg, because for me it s always cold; it is always cold, because they forget to turn off the fan.

  • Time Complexity Parallel Local Binary Pattern Feature Extractor on a Graphical Processing Unit
    ICIC Express Letters ICIC International ⃝c 2019 ISSN 1881-803X Volume 13, Number 9, September 2019 pp. 867{874 θ(1) TIME COMPLEXITY PARALLEL LOCAL BINARY PATTERN FEATURE EXTRACTOR ON A GRAPHICAL PROCESSING UNIT Ashwath Rao Badanidiyoor and Gopalakrishna Kini Naravi Department of Computer Science and Engineering Manipal Institute of Technology Manipal Academy of Higher Education Manipal, Karnataka 576104, India f ashwath.rao; ng.kini [email protected] Received February 2019; accepted May 2019 Abstract. Local Binary Pattern (LBP) feature is used widely as a texture feature in object recognition, face recognition, real-time recognitions, etc. in an image. LBP feature extraction time is crucial in many real-time applications. To accelerate feature extrac- tion time, in many previous works researchers have used CPU-GPU combination. In this work, we provide a θ(1) time complexity implementation for determining the Local Binary Pattern (LBP) features of an image. This is possible by employing the full capa- bility of a GPU. The implementation is tested on LISS medical images. Keywords: Local binary pattern, Medical image processing, Parallel algorithms, Graph- ical processing unit, CUDA 1. Introduction. Local binary pattern is a visual descriptor proposed in 1990 by Wang and He [1, 2]. Local binary pattern provides a distribution of intensity around a center pixel. It is a non-parametric visual descriptor helpful in describing a distribution around a center value. Since digital images are distributions of intensity, it is helpful in describing an image. The pattern is widely used in texture analysis, object recognition, and image description. The local binary pattern is used widely in real-time description, and analysis of objects in images and videos, owing to its computational efficiency and computational simplicity.

  • Energy-Aware Resource Management for Heterogeneous Systems
    FACULDADE DE ENGENHARIA DA UNIVERSIDADE DO PORTO Energy-aware resource management for heterogeneous systems Eduardo Fernandes Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Informática e Computação Supervisor: Jorge Barbosa July 7, 2016 Energy-aware resource management for heterogeneous systems Eduardo Fernandes Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Informática e Computação July 7, 2016 Abstract Nowadays computers, be they personal or a node contained in a multi machine environment, can contain different kinds of processing units. A common example is the personal computer that nowadays always includes a CPU and a GPU, both capable of executing code, sometimes even in the same integrated circuit package. These are the so called heterogeneous systems. It’s important to be aware that the various processing units aren’t equal, for instance CPUs are very different from GPUs. This raises a problem, since not every task can be executed in all processing units. To solve this problem a new task scheduling algorithm was developed with the aid of SimDag from the SimGrid toolkit. This algorithm uses a DAG (directed acyclic graph) to aid the scheduling of different tasks, be they from a single application or from various different applications. The algorithm is based on the HEFT scheduling algorithm, a greedy algorithm with a short execution time, developed by Topcuoglu et al. This new algorithm is aware of the different pro- cessing units and of the different performance/power levels. This solves the problem of not all tasks being able to be executed in all processing units. Since previous studies show that reducing the CPU clock speed on DVFS (dynamic voltage frequency scaling) CPUs can reduce the energy spent by the CPU while executing various tasks with little increase in runtime.

  • 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K
    2009 ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K To Our Stockholders: 2009 marked AMD’s 40th anniversary as a semiconductor innovator. It was a year in which we celebrated our rich history while taking great strides toward an even brighter future. We reshaped our company, while achieving every major new product milestone in the year—from industry-leading graphics products, to visually-richer client platforms, to higher-performance six-core server processors. With the formation of GLOBALFOUNDRIES, we made a game-changing move helping to unlock AMD from the capital-intensive burden of funding the leading-edge manufacturing capacity we require. Finally, we reached a historic settlement with Intel, resulting in unprecedented ground-rules for fair competition in the x86-microprocessor industry. We hope the settlement will mark a new era where our customers will realize the benefits of fair and open competition and a renewed focus on customer-centric innovation. We exited 2009 with strong momentum and enter 2010 with a new business model, compelling products and strong customer demand. 2009: Strengthening in a down year Despite a challenging global economic environment and downturn in worldwide PC demand, we made solid progress to strengthen the company financially. First, we resized the company in an effort to achieve consistent profitability. In so doing, we were able to align under a more streamlined organization, with a more focused strategy, poised to deliver our new AMD Fusion™ processor technology. Second, we closed a transaction with the Advanced Technology Investment Corporation (ATIC) and the Mubadala Development Company of Abu Dhabi. This fulfilled a multi-year vision to create two companies capable of delivering innovation and impact to the global technology industry: a leading design innovator in AMD and a leading-edge manufacturing company in GLOBALFOUNDRIES.
